The Things We Never Got Over Series Novels & Stories

Instead, I pointed at my heart and said firmly, "I'm already dead on the inside." Elaine was clearly stunned. She just stared at my chest in a daze. I took a deep breath. Then, I flashed her a knowing smile. "Elaine, the love that can be stolen so easily is not true love. Since you love William that much, I'll just give him to you. I hope that both of you can live happily ever after." After that, I got into the car. I would never return to this home… ever again. "William Blackburn, you and I are done," I thought.

It rested in his hand, the metal catching the moonlight like a cold, watchful beast. My pupils shrank, my chest tightening as if gripped by an invisible fist. "No… impossible…" I murmured, barely above a whisper. That ring—it was the token I had once given Henry. Damn it. How could I have forgotten this? When werewolves bond, tokens must be exchanged. And before severing the bond—even an incomplete one—the token must be returned through ritual. That was the rule, etched into our very blood and bones. Henry and I… never formally bonded.

The one she never let go of. Years ago, he bailed—broke up with her and vanished overseas. She was wrecked. That's when we met, on some blind date. She needed a distraction. I fell hard. We got married. And I kept thinking... if I gave enough, maybe one day she'd choose me. However, ten years of loyalty, and it meant nothing. One wave from Caleb, and she ran straight back. I always knew he still lived in her heart. And I—I was just a placeholder.

"He says things are changing." "Things are always changing in this house, but the result is always the same," Harrison said. He reached out, surprisingly, and placed a hand on my shoulder. It wasn't an affectionate gesture; it was a warning. "I have seen girls like you before, Sasha. Girls who thought they were special enough to survive the Grants. They don't. They don't even get to leave with a story. They simply... disappear. No records, no footprints, nothing." A cold shiver raced down my spine. The word disappear carried a weight that made the air in the hall feel thin.

Our hearts were as calm as a lake after the ripples had settled, and we even felt a hint of melancholy. If not for Isabella and the Gentrys, our family might still have been whole and happy. In the end, these 15 years had still left Mom and me with lasting scars. "Mom," I said softly. "It's all in the past now." Mom looked at me and nodded emphatically. "Yes, it's all in the past now. Villains will always get their just desserts." Tessa smiled and chimed in, "That's right. Aunt Gloria, Adrian, you should use the recovered money to improve your living situation and take care of your health issues. You both still have long lives ahead of you."

Coat I unlocked my door, ran back in, and pulled off the nearest overcoat from a hanger which I wore before I proceeded to lock my door again. “ Tasha, have some cookies before you go" My mum screamed. I looked at her, and she shoved a disappointed look at my face. Defeated, I took one cookie from the tray she presented to me and bit it as I dashed out of the house, waving my hands and saying my mum goodbye. ..... “ You surely don't need to apologize, it's going to be a double shift today" I gasped, I knew I was going to get a good scolding, but getting a double shift was the height of it.

Oliver suddenly seemed to come to his senses. He remembered that year when someone had confessed to me. In a panic, he had gotten drunk, stolen his family's bracelet in the middle of the night, and come to my house. He cried and begged on his knees for me to wear the heirloom bracelet. Now, he tugged at his tie, exhaled deeply, and forced a smile. "I overreacted. I… don't take back things I've given away. You can keep it."

They only wanted a sacrifice to make Rachel’s life better. Now that Rachel was getting her just desserts, they wanted me to forgive her? How ridiculous. I pulled my hand back and smirked at them. “I told you, our ties were severed from the moment you disowned me. Don’t bother trying to emotionally blackmail me— You’re not worthy.” They turned pale. I looked at their expressions of despair and felt nothing but irony. In the end, Rachel lost her mind. Jason was permanently paralyzed. The Gordons lost everything. Everyone got what they deserved, and the dust settled.

"I gave up on any kind of future with him when he'd gotten married the first time. You're just looking for drama where it doesn't exist." "Oh but does it not? Sweet little Britney... Everyone's best friend. I think you knew exactly what you were doing when you told the girls about her pregnancy, you knew they weren't going to like that very much. And I think you did get over him... temporarily. You didn't mind the other girls, you knew they wouldn't last. You knew it was just a rebound... he was going to get over them soon enough. And then he would come back to you, right?

The minutes stretched into agonizing hours, and every beep, every fluctuation in the machines, sent ripples of anxiety through her veins. As dawn approached, a heavy silence settled in the room. The renegade scientists exchanged somber glances, and Siberia's heart sank. The last threads of hope snapped, and the monitors flatlined, echoing the finality of Yeong's fate. Siberia collapsed into a chair, her hands trembling as the reality of the situation washed over her. The desperate gamble, the shadowy deal, had ended in tragedy. Yeong, the light of her life, was gone. Dana, escorted back to her sterile cell, displayed a cold smirk as the renegade scientists dispersed into the shadows. The cos
