The Road Ending Book Novels & Stories

Hugh had taken a bullet to the heart, and all his lies had finally caught up with him. It all seemed like it was meant to be. This was where it ended. No matter what came next, no matter who came for me, I was still Tasmin Sheargold. [The End.]

One day, Caspian said he wanted tiramisu from an old bakery in the northern part of the city. It was something I used to love two years ago. Eventually, I drove out alone. Halfway along a remote coastal road, the car suddenly broke down. I got out to check. I was still trying to figure out the problem when a handkerchief with a sharp smell was pressed over my mouth and nose. Right before I lost consciousness, I thought of how painfully cliché it was.

“That’s the thing about stories, Damien. Even if you didn’t choose the first chapter, you still get to write the last one.” He turned to her, their gazes locking. And for a moment, the war, the Vault, Monroe—all of it faded behind the stillness between them. Then the vehicle shuddered to a halt. Julian leaned forward, alert. “Road ends here. We hike the rest.”

Just like what happened to me in my previous life. When I heard of their death, the weight on me was instantly relieved. Those who brought about my tragic end were gone at last. The winter of my life ended, and I was heading toward spring.

The shadow figure whispered right at her very ears, “You must have realize... This is extermination. The game you played...” The shadow figure still there at the back, kneeled to the falling body in the ground. He is looking intently at her, and he smiled with a hint of reminiscence. His whisper still right behind her, “Dying, whether bloody or not, has no way of resurrection... We despair... and these comrades of mine becomes a bandits...just to prove that life is useless. Do you think it really useless, Miss?”

I saw Lane nearing and it was the best view I could have before my eyes gave up. I closed my eyes confidently. I knew Lane was there. I knew I'd be safe from harm. I knew he'd save me. It didn't fathom in me if I died or survived. I was just content with the thought that he was there. And he was the last person I saw. Cold air passed through my nostrils like I haven't breathed in a very long time. Then the scent of medicine and chemicals went in next. I coughed lightly as my eyelids slowly opened. I felt an warm hand caressed my palm as I blinked a couple times to clear my vision.

I thought he would come down the cliff and talk to me, but the next thing I knew I was knocked over the head and the world went dark. *** I woke up draped over the back of a horse. My hands were tied and my head hurt like a bitch. I groaned involuntarily and tried to get a glimpse of my surroundings. Due to my angle on the rump of this beast, I couldn’t see much. In the distance, there were tree bases telling me we were out of the woods but following the edge. I looked to the ground and noticed the packed dirt that spread several meters wide. We must have moved to a dirt road, and one that seemed to be used frequently.

"This car was a gift from you. As long as you gave it to me, I'll keep it and drive it until it falls apart." Her eyes had sparkled back then, filled with love and warmth. She had gazed at him with such tenderness that he had felt like the luckiest man alive. When had he started betraying that love? Henley powered on the car's dashcam, hoping to see the places Joanna had been driving through in her final days. The footage began playing. The earlier clips showed her daily commute—work and back, a familiar routine. It was just that something felt off. The car was eerily silent.

In that perfect moment, surrounded by the love of our friends and family, I knew that my past was truly behind me. From today onwards , it's the beginning of a new chapter – a chapter filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities. I looked into Salvatore's eyes, as he spoke, "I love you Emilia." "I love you too Salvatore." I replied and then we both kissed again. THE END
