Things We Left Behind Lucy Score Novels & Stories

Adrian did not give an answer. Lucy felt a sense of desolation. From childhood to adulthood, she had been cherished as a precious gem. She now realized that outside of her family, she was nothing. Others didn’t even take her family seriously at times. And upon hearing Adrian's words, she knew that there was no turning back. He had never thought much of her family from the get-go. He was not a charitable person, and without any benefits, there was no reason for him to help them. Lucy nodded heavily, saying softly, "I understand." She stood up and left.

He cracked open a couple of peanuts and popped them into his mouth. “It was creepy.” Lucy went back to her drink. “Then what?” “Nothing. I left after that.” Mike lit another cigarette. “It kind of sounds like a bunch of bullshit to me.” “How would you know?” Lucy exclaimed. “You weren’t even there.” Mike didn’t reply this time, already having lost interest. He finished his drink and went back to smoking. Lucy gathered her things, paid her tab, and walked out. She left St. Charles soon afterward to move on with her life elsewhere. Likewise, the city went on without her.

Although she had always advised Lucy that being with Andrew Bush would be challenging, as they were fundamentally different people, she also knew that the only way for Lucy to let go would be to erase all her memories of Andrew Bush. But now, was she really determined to let go? Even though Andrew Bush had left her at the ski resort this time, it was indeed infuriating, but compared to a year ago when Andrew Bush could summon her at will, he had clearly given her a little more importance now. So why was she giving up at this moment? Vivien couldn't understand Lucy's thoughts and exclaimed, "Are you serious? Have you really left Andrew Bush's side? You're not going back?" For the eighth time,

As if the wind itself had erased his presence. Silence. No one moved. Lucian coughed weakly, blood trickling from his lips. "You… have already lost…" Lorian stared at him coldly. "You’re the one who lost." With one swift motion, he struck. Lucian collapsed. Motionless. Aria held her breath. They had won… But this was not the end. Lorian turned to Aria, his eyes no longer burning with fury, but filled with something else—uncertainty. He gripped her hand tightly, as if making sure she was still there.

I said, "Yeah, it won't get in our way. The land of the dead is the kind of LDR where you can't reach anyone anyway." I hung up and booked a flight abroad, after which I went through the paperwork for my discharge and got back home to recuperate. … Jonathan spent all his time showing off his shiny relationship on social media. He posted the new watch and sports car he got from Rachel. I saw how he and Rachel were holding hands with their fingers intertwined. The ring he was wearing? The one Rachel took away from me. They took sets of wedding photos, and Jonathan captioned them, 'Three years being a side piece. Now I can finally be the main guy.'

"What do you think, Mommy?" Marilyn giggled. "Then I'll try too." The four of them dissolved into laughter, a picture of perfect harmony. Lucy switched off her phone. She gathered every gift Steven had ever given her, every letter he had ever written, carried them to the rooftop, and set them all on fire. Ten years' worth of memories. There was so much. It took her an entire night to burn them all. Maybe even the heavens wanted to help. As dawn approached, rain poured over Hartemis City. The ashes were washed away, leaving no trace behind.

"Haven't I already thanked you enough for everything you've done? Right now, I want to be with Sherry. She's the one who matters most to me." I looked into his eyes as the crushing weight of betrayal came over me. "You've never truly valued the bond we shared, Drew." I forced myself to calm down. Drew told me all that while I was out submitting Leo's enrollment form for the Intermediate Wolf Cub Academy. He didn't seem to know that the residence Richard and Talia lived in was mine. I watched him walk away, but I didn't go home immediately. Instead, I headed straight to the foundation to sort through my assets.

My words sent a shockwave through Derick and Jasmine, their faces a picture of pure horror. With a sly grin, I hit play on the recorder for all to hear. Jasmine's moans and Derick's breathy gasps were not the only things captured; their treacherous whispers filled the room. "Thanks for swapping the kids, darling. Our little one's destined to rule the roost now! "Lily's boy is your own blood. He's sick, and we're just leaving him to suffer. Doesn't that break your heart?"

"She's not you. If not for her heartless behavior, I'd never have run into you. You're perfect." The sight of them being so in love was making the track marks on my arm prick. I refused to watch this any further, so I went around, but Teresa stretched her leg, and I tripped. "Oh, be careful, Selina." I fell to the ground, my files sprawling everywhere. Gasping, Teresa picked up the files. "What is this? Are you going overseas, Selina?" It was a cheap house I got for myself. A cemetery sat right beside that place. I had enough savings to afford the down payment.

Ray: [When are you coming back? Lucy: [I'll be gone for at least half a month. Lindsay is a hardcore apocalypse fanatic. She started building some kind of doomsday bunker two years ago, and it's finally finished these past few days. She insisted I go over as a guest. I couldn't refuse no matter what!] Lucy: [Seriously, why do people like this even exist? She actually used connections to buy a piece of land deep in the mountains and spent nearly 10 million building an iron cage!]
