Novel & Cerita When Love Comes Knocking

I can hear my heart pounding in my ears. He loves me. Robin loves me. I know he did, but... Hearing it now. It weighs more. He might have married me in the past, but him saying he loves me now makes it feel like he accepts me even without memories. I lift my chin. "Robin, I—" A loud knock on the door got us both turning around. There are only a few silent seconds before we hear banging instead. "What the hell..." Robin looks down at me. "Are you expecting someone or something? How did they get through the gates?"

“At least your love life’s never boring. I mean, two brothers? That’s like… Olympic-level relationship management. I don’t know how you’re not charging admission.” “I think you’re living a soap opera, and I’m the best friend who gets to watch it live. Of course I think it’s funny.” I rolled my eyes, but her grin was contagious, and before long we were laughing — not because it was funny, but because if we didn’t, I might cry. The laugh died when the knock came. It wasn’t normal knocking. Not just a polite tap tap. No. No pauses. No waiting for a reply. Just a steady, heavy thud like whoever it was had decided they were getting in one way or another.

'knock-knock-knock' The voice is came back. This time I know where it came from. From the mirror. The knocking got louder. The mirror vibrates. As if anything it wanted to break out. I'm getting scared. This is impossible. Or maybe there's something in the cupboard? But what?

~Fallon~ The knock came at 6:03 p.m. I heard it before I saw him—three even taps, just loud enough to be sure. Not rushed. Not hesitant either. Just… deliberate. Like someone who knew he shouldn’t be here, but showed up anyway. I was already near the window, pretending not to be.

And definitely, it was not she expected at all, since she disliked the man since her high school days. "You must get used to it, Liv," anito. "I am one to give many compliments to my girl. And also, my love language is touch. So I think, you would have to find ways to adjust to that." Napatango siya. "Don't worry. I got it." "You do?" anito na nakalapit na sa kanya. Napatigil naman siya nang biglang hinawi nito ang buhok niya at inipit sa tenga niya.

Before I knew it, he pulled me close and cupped my face in his hands, looking at me intensely. "I hate these auctions, but fate brought me here, and I can see clearly why," he said, his eyes drifting to my lips. I did not want to, but my body betrayed me, and I found myself quivering under his touch. With my heart beating out of control, I unknowingly licked my lips as Leo moved closer, so close that his lips were only a few inches away. I blinked nervously in anticipation of his next move. Suddenly, a loud bang echoed, followed by several gunshots and the screams of many.

But when I was hospitalized for pneumonia, no one came to see me. I used to think a girl like me who caused her mother's death didn't deserve love. Then, at Kelsey's sweet sixteen, she shoved me into the pool and laughed as she called me the unloved child who killed our mother. I struggled in the water, trying to get to the edge, but her friends pushed me back in again and again. Just when I was about to drown, Edwin Carlson pulled me out. He wrapped me in a warm towel and looked coldly at the people who mocked me. "Stephanie is the one I love. Anyone who dares to mess with her again will have to deal with me."

“Vivian has a bad temper, so I’m taking her on a one-week vacation to help her relax. Tell the doctor to postpone your surgery until I get back.” Whenever Vivian threw a tantrum, he would shower her with tens of thousands of dollars without hesitation. However, when it came to me, even his apology amounted to a pathetic fourteen dollars and three cents. He still tried to romanticize it, claiming that the amount did not matter. It was the thought that counted. Those numbers had special meanings and it was his special kind of love for me. I used to believe nonsense like that. However, now I understood — follow the money and one would find where the love really was.

Matter fact, what's the point if she's close-friends with Jessica? KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK ''Come in,'' I sighed, taking peppermint to cool off my frustration. Entering, Violet came in slowly with a box and papers in her arms. She placed them down and hands me over the box. ''What's this?'' I asked. ''P.O. Boxes over at Clinton,'' she lends me over the paper as I took out my pen and signed it. I looked at her, asking myself why I was so determined to win over her.

Cold sweat coated her body and her fingers trembled as she opened the blinds and replaced the closed sign with an open one. Jeffrey was thoughtful enough to have cleaned things up before she returned to work, so there was no sign of what occurred. He even managed to have fresh flowers in a vase waiting for her. It had a card declaring his love attached to the vase. She smiled and hugged the card close to her heart. He was the love of her life and he stayed with her even though she was no longer beautiful. She couldn’t believe her good fortune.
