The Upside Of Falling Pdf Novels & Stories

Yvette began to push her luck in the office. According to my former colleagues, Yvette now saw herself as the pillar of the company. She bossed others around and pushed to replace me as creative director. Elliot, hesitant at first, gave in. Unfortunately, Yvette didn't have the ability to hold the position. The creative ideas she proposed were all plagiarized from the internet, sparking client backlash. The company's reputation tanked, and its stock plummeted. Three months later, things took a dramatic turn. I saw a post on social media that Kline Creative's bank account had been frozen over suspected financial fraud.

Damon finally shifted his gaze to the others. “Gentlemen,” he said, “I’ll be brief.” He placed a file on the table. “Our companies have overlapping interests. Shipping routes. Manufacturing contracts. Security infrastructure.” Matteo scoffed. “You expect us to partner with the Moretti family?” Damon’s expression didn’t change. “I expect you to recognize opportunity.” Elena flipped open the file. Numbers. Contracts. Projected profits. Her eyes narrowed. It was… impressive. Annoyingly impressive. Damon noticed.

“You wouldn’t have heard of it. It’s strictly between heaven, hell and the fallen.” “What’s a fallen?” “It’s someone who used to be an angel in a past life. When they’re resurrected, they’re identified by a specific birth mark. You, my dear, are one of the fallen. You should have a birth mark that’s shaped like a star. It’s in different places for different individuals but your parents found yours on your hipbone.” What the hell. This is way too much information that I wasn’t expecting. I’m essentially in the middle of a holy war, if what she’s saying is the truth.

Sienna’s POV Dr. Laurent Moreau’s words echo in my head long after he leaves the room. “We have a plan.” It should be reassuring. It should feel like the lifeline I’ve been desperately waiting for. But hope is a dangerous thing. It lifts you up just to drop you from even greater heights.

His wings still out, tensed, and ready, the rest of us holding our weapons. He moved so fast I didn’t even see him. Sliding past the others as fluid as water going around rocks in a stream he came for me, I felt his arm snag my waist and my feet left the Earth. I heard Devon’s shots fire and Kenneth soared into the air in pursuit. Cassi let out a scream and I heard the others calling my name as we ascended, until they were just specks. Kenneth closing in, aiming his crossbow at Shamshiel’s wings, his purple wings beating as he tried desperately to keep up, his face contorted in anguish as he realized he would not be able to help me. In the blink of an eye Shamshiel closed his wings around us

I was lost in the book for what felt like hours- probably just ten minutes- then I glanced up absently, took in the still silent environment, glanced back down as I turned the next page, then glanced back up only to stare directly into a pair of grey eyes. I couldn't help it. With a shriek, I fell off the stool. Hard. What the- I held a hand to my back with a groan when a sharp pain shot up my spine. Strong arms gently helped me into a sitting position on the floor and I blinked up at him. It felt like I was in a daze. How did he even- I didn't even hear him walk behind the counter- or through the front door- or at all! How can he move so silently?

The meeting room fell silent. Vincent stared at the certificate. His fingers trembled, and he could not find a single word in his defense. Sophia had not caught up yet. She assumed I was bluffing, and her face showed open contempt. "Lina, put the fake certificate away. You're not scaring anyone. A complex algorithm like this couldn't have been built by one person working alone. That's just not realistic." She held her chin high, her eyes filled with disdain. Her ignorance struck me as sad rather than threatening.

“You know Susan, it is okay to cry with me.” I nodded in understanding. “I just feel so pathetic Kate.” The words burst out of me and I was surprised I let them out. “I mean I just, god Kate, how could I let this happen to me?” “Susan, I’m not going to sugarcoat things so please don’t be offended but it happened because you wanted something more and that is normal. All of us want more especially when it comes to relationships and the crappy part that you can’t control is that Curtis used that part in you to his advantage. You can’t take the blame or allow yourself to feel bad for that because that just gives him some advantage in this and you don’t want that.” All of what Kate said made sen

I know why people are in love, why they love the process of loving. It's because they get loved back, even if it's delayed. Love gives people false hope, and above all it makes you feel things that you never knew you could feel. It takes you to extends, it comes at the wrong time and sweeps you off your feet. And you will end up falling. Now, since we are falling on the earth and not space, there are consequences. Falling hurts. One moment you are so high up the sky, next, you are hitting rock bottom. In simpler terms, falling breaks bones.

I wanted to believe him because, for some reason, when I looked at him, I did trust him. “So what do we do now,” Summer asked Liam as she pulled me down onto the couch beside her. Liam knelt in front of us and put one hand on each of our cheeks. “This changes nothing. The plan stays the same. I need you to trust me.” “It's not about trusting you, Liam, but this money does change things. It's 25 thousand reasons for someone to give her up”. Summer snapped tears filling her eyes.
