Vacant By Choice Novels & Stories

Getting the location of their formerly shared apartment from Vanessa, I made my plan. She would be away for the whole day so it gives me enough time to feel set up what I needed to. While she was out, I moved my equipment into her apartment. It wasn’t hard to get in there. There were no cameras, and the property manager didn’t seem to care much when I asked for a spare key and that my girlfriend locked me out. They just handed it over without investigating.

“You know everyone is going to expect us to date now.” She sighed, “I doubt anyone will be surprised when they find out we aren’t. You’ll be fine. You’ll probably be more popular for turning me down.” She wouldn’t look at him, instead she chose to stare out the front window. “Just tell them you saw where I live and it grossed you out too much. Or I’m too poor. Or not cool enough. The reason doesn’t really matter.” “What about you?” he sounded like he was worried about her.

I couldn't afford to focus on their issues anymore because Solomon had handed the company over to me. I was swamped with work, barely managing to squeeze in time for meals. It wasn't until six months later that I saw Kevin again. After handling a company acquisition abroad, I ran into him in the underground parking garage.

I answered, forcing a smile and nodded. The intern adjusted his glasses. "But you and Mr. Baldwin met in high school, dated for seven years, and were married for five. Just last month, Mr. Baldwin spent a fortune to buy you an island and named it after you." I kept smiling, though the smile didn't reach my eyes. "That was something he owed me," I said flatly. He'd given me that island to make up for missing my birthday while taking care of a sick Jenny. In my last life, I had actually felt proud of it. Later, I found out that the idea came from Jeremy. Nathan's assistant, Brandon Lindell, picked the island, and Nathan didn't even know where it was located.

My husband, Jasper Anderson, never showed up for any of our daughter's activities and events. He said that there were thousands of employees relying on him for a living, so he had no time for what he called children's games. Still, he made an exception for Sadie performing Swan Lake for the first time. "I'll be seated in the front row." He promised her sincerely. The show had already been going on for ten minutes, yet his seat remained empty. I tried to call him many times in the lobby. My mother-in-law, Beatrice Anderson, said, "Jasper went to the airport to pick up a client. His phone ran out of battery. Stop calling and pestering him." Jasper's younger brother, Kai Anderson, sa

“Probably that someone can be genuinely happy in a life I would never choose for myself.” “A good conclusion.” “That doesn’t mean I’ve changed my mind.” “Why should you?” Adelaide calmly lifted her cup. “We are far too quick to call someone else’s choice wrong simply because we would choose differently. I would not want your life. You probably would not want mine. That does not make either of us unhappy.” Margosha came closer and settled beside the table, lowering her head onto her forepaws. “As long as the choice was truly yours.” Adelaide looked at her.

The first genuine laughter I'd had in days. "Alright, so we know we have the capital." Elena opened a new tab on her browser. "Now we need space. Let's see what's available." We scrolled through listings together, huddled over her laptop screen, our shoulders touching. Most of the vacancies we saw were completely out of our price range. We can't blame them, they're mostly sleek modern facilities designed for established companies with deep pockets. Others were too large, offering fifteen thousand square feet when we only needed a fraction of that.

"CONNAUGHT, west wing. Get over here." I was in the middle of a game — a crucial round interrupted. I was annoyed. "What do you want?" Silence on the other end. The background noise faded. I frowned and was about to hang up when Darian spoke. "Grace, where did you go?" I started a new round, eyes on the screen. "You said living under the same roof as me made the air unbearable. So I moved out." "Don't worry. I won't be coming back." His breathing grew heavier. Then a cold laugh.

She resumed scrolling through her smartphone when suddenly her eyes caught a job vacancy.

Annabel sat well again to read the job vacancy description again. Ella was wondering about the sudden change in Annabel's sitting position. She checked the comment sect
