The Unwanted Novels & Stories

I sighed as I glanced out the window, watching Regan, Zarina, and his cousins laughing and drinking outside. The middle-aged group had decided to go out on the lawn and have a bonfire there. I wanted to join them, but I knew it would be awkward. Besides, I didn't drink beer—I never liked the taste. Feeling a bit parched and seeing that it was already 8 PM, I decided to head down to the kitchen for a drink.

There was a lot of evidence being listed. The time when Mathias got severely punished during his high school years, the photos of my and Thomas' names being listed on our property deeds, and the official certificate that showed us having disowned Mathias were only part of the evidence.

I'll be with my senior from the lab, too. If you fall sick, I won't visit you. If you want to go somewhere, I won't go with you. If you and my senior get into a fight, I will always take his side. I'll marry him instead of you. If I'm in a good mood, I might have fun with you once in a while."

My mother is still regretting the fact that she didn't get to marry the man she loved and I am hoping the same mistake won't happen to me. I am only with Aidan because of our child, we don't love each other. I want to love my life, aside from being his unwanted bride. I am already tired of being tagged unwanted, everything about me screams unwanted. The maids in the house knows that I am their boss's unwanted wife and because no one outside our home and immediate family recognizes me as his bride. It feels right but sad. I want to experience love in a good soul and I want to be loved. Finding love is definitely not here in Aidan's home.

The evilest of men to walk the surface of the earth. A man whom the devil himself would like to take some lessons from. If you must dine with the devil, then you must use a long spoon they say, but even with a long spoon, it is impossible to dine with Jason Stanford and escape unscathed. He is a true definition of a monster, covered with flesh, truly a wolf in sheep's clothing. I sigh as I get up the bed and pick up my backpack. I might as well get going, there's no use thinking about the man, who upended my family and ruined life as I knew it.

How you created them on the bathroom floor. In your bedroom. In class when no one was around. How old were we then?' 'Started at ten.' Another voice replied. They sighed. 'it's been so long,Aria.' "Quit calling my name." I yelled when they refused to shut up. 'Get rid of us,Aria. Try it.'

Sally said with a wink. Thankfully, they managed to steer the conversation away from Amy’s lack of sex life and onto more mundane topics like the weather and the current sports teams. Amy found her attention drifting as she searched the room wondering where Frank and Melissa had gone and what they were doing. She hated that she felt the empty ache in her belly when she imagined him kissing that woman. She should feel happy for him but she just couldn’t muster the energy to spare him a happy thought. And it had been a long time since she’d last been with a man. For the past year, all she had wanted was Frank and even while other guys had expressed an interest in going out with her, she had re

"You're... you're turning yourself into a Static Variable? You'll be trapped in the system forever, never able to touch him, never able to be 'Actual' again." "I've been 'Unwanted' for a decade, Christina," Leo said, a dark, triumphant smile crossing his lips. "I’m used to the shadows."

It will be interesting, but I doubt that it will be fun. Haakon greets me with a friendly smile. The pony that I tended too on my arrival is in a nearby paddock and trots over to the fence. I move to the wooden railing and stroke my hand along her neck. I will not cry. I will not allow myself to cry. I have been unwanted my entire life. This is no different.
