The photo was of a hospital bed, and the caption read, "Came back all alone for treatment. How sad." The guests began to whisper about the groom suddenly running away from his own wedding when my brother, Alvin Chilton, stepped forward. "Joy, you've always been strong, so I know you can handle this alone. Gwen needs me more than you right now." With that, he was out the door as well. Both of them had deserted me for the same woman.

"Let's go home, my Queen." From the car, I glanced in the rearview mirror. Through the curtain of rain, Liam's kneeling figure looked like a crumbling stone statue, lonely and desolate.

We would stand side by side, two absolute powers on a path filled with happiness and certainty.

"You want to steal my Mama’s minutes." "I want to preserve them, little Source," Caspian replied, his brass eyes whirring. "Time is the only debt that cannot be repaid in gold.

Talented minds from all over gathered here to drive innovations and breakthroughs. No one cared about your background, status, looks, or mannerisms. Everywhere you looked, there were researchers with messy hair frowning over complicated equations. After joining them, I quickly became one of them. In the mornings, I didn't have to worry about what to wear or whether my outfit looked polished and presentable. During meals, I didn't need to chew slowly or follow strict dining etiquette. Here, time was the most valuable thing. To get extra time to solve a few more equations, I cut off the long hair I had spent years growing out.

She could attract anyone towards her like a magnet. “Do you have a mate?” She asks and I am yet again surprised at the knowledge of this child. She looks very young to know about mates but maybe she doesn’t really know what mates mean. Feeling the gaping hole in my chest, I answer, “No.” I don’t have a mate. I cannot have a mate.

I was about to give up but, a moment later, he starts speaking, “The same reason as you I guess.” “And what’s my reason?” I raise an eyebrow. I don’t have any particular reason. So, how could he give one? But, he doesn’t hesitate to spat, “We find solace in being alone.” I lift a brow. It might be true but I don’t necessarily fond of being alone. There are no people in this world who want to be alone for the rest of their lives. I might be a lone wolf but, even then I do want to find somebody who I can connect with. Meanwhile, Cain doesn’t seem to want one. He deliberately ignores the rest of the world.

I’m trying to reconcile with the fact that I don’t have a choice. It would take a lot of time, I hope you understand.” “We understand, dear but it's also fair to us.
