Totally Not A Game Novels & Stories

Or at least, she would think that she did. Easy prey. But easy also isn’t fun. What is the point of playing a game if it isn’t fun? The reason I wanted her as the focus for this year’s games is because she has been unbreakable. The ultimate challenge. I like a good challenge. And a challenge isn’t a challenge if you know with certainty that you are going to win.

Then, she slammed the door hard enough to make the doorframe shake. Another two months. With a frown, I lit a cigarette. She truly is perfect in every way, beautiful and talented. In everyone's eyes, we were the ideal couple. This particular aspect, however, has honestly been so difficult for me. We have been married for three years, yet she has never initiated intimate moments. Sometimes, I even wondered if she disliked me touching her. Or perhaps she did not want to have children with me. I went online to search for answers, and most of the results suggested that if a spouse acted distant the way she did, it could mean that they did not love their partner.

Anna suddenly talked which made her feet automatically pause from walking. 'I heard his name again, can't I just have a little break? What does it even have to do with me?' "Really? What a lame game." Her comment seems obvious that she hates the idea. "I know right?" "Too desperate to chase over a boy, there are a lot of guys in our school so why would they choose to play with Archer?" "Whoa, easy girl. What's wrong with you tonight? Are you not in your best mood again?" Anna noticed that Selah seems gloomy, she can't tell if it was because of the trouble they caused earlier or if it's about her brother being so mean to her.

Things We Don't Share Amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, among the concrete jungle of establishments and IT companies lie West Enterprises. The towering building that is West Ent. is a dirty-white mass of concrete, glass, and steel. Even though the company is the smallest of its sister companies, it already has a reputable status in other parts of the country.

Tobi wasn’t telling me anything about our marriage, he just always went on the flow but what can I do? “Before I forgot, your engagement party was the main topic on the gossip school page and you didn’t invite us!” Rachel said. I laughed at her. “I didn’t know there was going to be a party, I wasn’t informed and only found out about it at the last minute, and besides the invited people were mostly business elites,” I replied. Maria looked at me. “Sounds like a business transaction.” She said. I nodded. “Calvin was there,” I said. Maria and Rachel both turned their gaze at me.

"The Vesper persona isn't a game. It’s a shadow network that currently holds the decryption keys to every single asset Thorne Industries owns. If I don't check in with my broker in exactly twenty minutes, an automated script drops your entire architecture into the open market." A slow, terrifyingly beautiful smile curved his lips. It wasn't the smile of a businessman threatened with ruin; it was the smile of a monster that had finally found a worthy hunt. "Let it drop," Malakai murmured, his thumb slowly tracing the frantic pulse point on my pinned wrist. "Let the whole empire burn to ash, Aria. I can rebuild a corporate structure in a fiscal quarter. I can’t rebuild six months of losing my

Damn! There was nothing cute about the game playing out on the huge screen either. It was filled with a lot of near-naked, big boobed characters, giving off totally ‘Not Safe For Work’ vibes. I was still staring vacantly at the screen when his voice abruptly yanked me out of the spell I had fallen under. “You have a thing for standing in doorways, don’t you?”

“I set up a memorial for our child in secret. Will you go and bring it to me?” Looking heartbroken, Leon could never say no to me. At last, no one was there keeping an eye on me. I picked up the teapot from the table and crushed the porcelain under the blanket, careful not to make a sound. I glided the broken shard across my aorta. The System’s notification rang in my mind. “Congratulations on exiting the world, Player. You have three months of life remaining in your original world.” Before I could open my eyes, the System’s voice cut through.

Hunter noticed and gently extracted his arm from Sandy’s and offered it to me. “Beta Sophia,” he said. “Would you please join me for a walk through the gardens?” What the fuck is happening!? “WHAT?!” Sandy shrieked, and the noise in the room went silent. My heart fluttered, and discomfort from the stares began to seep through my emotional armor. “No, thank you, Alpha Hunter,” I politely responded with no emotion while keeping my gaze down. “Why?” Hunter questioned, obviously not used to being rejected. “Unlike your Beta, Alpha Hunter, I’m not a whore trying to become a Luna.”

Aaron has always been careful about our meetings, but tonight, I want to surprise him. No matter how many times I see Aaron, I always feel like this—nervous and excited all at once. He’s everything I’ve ever wanted, and I can hardly wait to see him again. As I walk down the road, it’s impossible to miss the posters plastered on every surface of the street.
