Novel & Cerita The Summer I Turned Pretty- Trilogy

“He stole five years of your life, took your work, lied to you like you were a fool, and even got you thrown into jail. We are settling this debt properly.” My father nodded. “We are going to ruin him completely, and you do not need to be afraid. As long as we are here, no one will hurt you again.” Looking at my father and brother, all the pain and despair I had been holding inside finally found a place to escape. Ethan’s betrayal had stripped away every illusion I still had about him. I finally saw him for who he truly was. I no longer held onto any hope for him. I slowly nodded. “Okay.”

Even knowing there was another woman in his life, I finally agreed to his proposal. I thought that if there was anything serious between him and his adopted sister, he wouldn't be with me. But everything changed after his adopted sister returned from studying abroad. Seeing my silence, Dante softened his tone. "Rest up, okay? Everything I promised you won't change." But when I returned to the estate… Pushing open the living room door, I found Dante and Sofia standing in our room. Around Sofia's fair neck hung a massive blue diamond. It was the "Eye of Medusa," a Moretti family heirloom passed down for three generations, the only thing my mother left me before she died.

"Darling, you know... Well, I'll take you some other time. The media aren't friendly." My stomach flipped as a scenario of Nate running into Ashton flashed across my mind suddenly. No! Ashton would never find out about Nate! But Nate wasn't done with his questions. "But mummy—" "How was the events, K? You look like you've been to hell and back!" Tracy rescued me from Nate's incoming truckload of questions. "You have no idea," I mumbled, taking Nate to his room to prepare him for bed while Tracy walked behind me, ears itching. *

"If he wants a divorce, then divorce him! Is there really any need to turn yourself into this? June, you're carrying a child right now. Pregnant women can't drink like this. Are you trying to hurt our baby on purpose?" Something Morgan said set her off, and she shot to her feet to violently sweep the bottle off the table. Glass shattered across the floor as alcohol splashed everywhere. "Did this child just magically appear in my stomach?" she snarled through clenched teeth, her whole body shaking. "Did you not get me drunk and then shamelessly crawl into my bed?" Morgan's expression changed dramatically, and he stumbled backward a step. But June refused to let him go. She grabbed him by the

Carol had also sent a message along with the transfer. I could practically feel the fury pouring through the screen. "Jacob, just you wait!" I honestly didn't care how she'd scraped together the money. Whether she had sold a kidney or borrowed from loan sharks, it was none of my business. I pulled off a smooth combo move and blocked her without a second thought. For the next week, everything remained unusually peaceful. Then, late one night, a hashtag called #RichKidBully blew up and shot straight to the top of trending.

Serena slowly wrapped herself in her robe and walked toward me. Then she leaned down, looking at me with the amused expression of a predator playing with its prey. “Baby, if you’re going to cry this much, don’t waste all your strength now. Save some for later. You’ll need it when you serve us.” I was trapped in the room by these two she-devils. There was no way out. Even if I wanted to leave, I had no chance. I knew what awaited me was fear worse than death.

Timmy said, but I did not even bother to look at him. "A lot of people rely on this company to make a living. If the company goes bankrupt, what happens to them? You know how much effort I've put into the company, right? I'll never let it go bankrupt! Just do it for me, okay?" Jessica moved closer, her voice breaking and turning into a sob. I could not bear to see her like that any longer and gave in again. When the music started, I stripped down to my underwear and forced my body to move stiffly.

All the burdens I had carried with me seemed to vanish into that vast expanse. For half a month, I explored every inch of land, soaking in nature's quiet beauty. Even my heart felt lighter. Somehow, without noticing it, that trip changed something in me. The day I returned, I pulled out my SIM card, snapped it in half, and tossed it into the trash. I replaced it with a brand-new one. But just as I stepped into my apartment complex, I spotted someone leaning against a car, waiting. It was Selena. And standing beside her was Evie.

The bra was almost transparent with a peculiar inner layer. I held it up and insisted, "Check this item." "What tricks are you up to now?" Edward crossed his legs and scoffed as he leaned back lazily. "Are you jealous that Cindy has better taste and a better figure than you? Don't worry. Once I'm in a better mood, I'll buy you one too." While disdain was written on his face, Cindy's expression was the opposite. In an instant, all the color drained from her face. … The lab results came back quickly.

Despite it being midsummer, the pear trees were all in bloom, and the ground was scattered with delicate petals, creating a beautiful, dreamlike atmosphere. When she had first agreed to Mitchell's courtship, it had been during the spring, the season when the pear blossoms were at their fullest. But Heather didn't linger on these memories for long. Her gaze shifted to Mitchell, whose intense stare held her attention. Even though she had already guessed some of what had happened from Vanessa's tears, seeing Mitchell in person still took her by surprise.
