This Is Not A War Story Novels & Stories

Not Eli. Not Ela. Not my family. This is not the end. This is the beginning of the real war.

The war wasn’t over. Not even close.

Then he said, “Ask me again in six months.” That made me laugh softly. I stood up and walked closer to him. “Are you sure you’re okay with this?” I asked. “With me pushing you into another war?” He shook his head. “This isn’t a war for power. It’s not about image or position or ego.” “Then what is it?” “It’s about us not letting other people write our story.” I felt something warm move through my chest. “That’s the first time you’ve said ‘us’ like that in a while.”

He said and passed a book to me. I flipped through, and I was shocked that this is not just the beginning of another war; this is a similar war that has never led to a good thing unless we find the supreme lady. And that is the true problem! Finding the supreme lady!

“No. But I know him better than you think.” He walked closer, looked around at the torn papers, scattered letters. “I see Reagan’s doing his usual trick. Seduce the girl, then destroy the man.” “Reagan didn’t seduce me.” Julian tilted his head. “Didn’t he?” I stepped closer. “Why are you here?” “To warn you. The war you think you’re fighting isn’t about blood. It’s about narrative.” He leaned in. “And right now, Reagan is telling your story. One Lucien might believe.”

Sonia moaned seductively. “God, when? But let’s be guided, we have a minor here. Don’t corrupt our boy,” Rose said as they all laughed. Immediately Frank left with Tyler, they continued their conversation. “Speaking of God, when?, what of your husband? I’ve been wanting to ask about him,” Sonia asked curiously. “He hasn’t reached out yet.” “What? Really?” Sonia expressed a sense of disappointment. “So, the thing is, I’m not actually married, I was in love, and when we made love, I got pregnant, and he refused the baby and ran to another city,” Rose lied.

The enemy revealed themselves under the moon. The world shifted. And now, standing at the edge of kingdoms, I know one thing with absolute certainty: This story isn’t about a war anymore. It’s about a new order. And I will see it written— in moonlight, in blood, and in truth.

Not just a contract. Not just a threat. It was the beginning of a war neither of them planned to lose.

This was never about traders. This is the first move of a war.

Julian opened it with shaking hands, and his world collapsed. Dear Mr. Marchetti, I have found the soldier who was with you and Mr. Carter in Normandy. He has given a sworn statement. Mr. Carter did not save your life out of heroism. He knew he was dying of his wounds. He bribed the soldier to shoot at you, then stepped in front of the bullet. He did this so you would owe him a debt, so you would take care of Lydia for the rest of your life. You were a fool to believe them.
