Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love Crossroads of Fate
“Ranya!” Mr. Lewiston called angrily, striding over to his son. He couldn’t understand why Ranya was so determined to destroy everything connected to him. “You’re going to marry the young Miss, and that’s final.”Ranya turned, his expression cold. “What makes you think you have a say in my life?” Anthony had tried to follow Calista when she stormed upstairs, but Ranya had held him back, preventing him from pursuing her further.Even though Calista hadn’t accepted his feelings, Ranya wasn’t about to let anyone unworthy near her. She was his to protect, and Anthony needed to understand that.Anthony’s frustration boiled over. He had always been second to Ranya, and now, with Calista, it was happening again. The woman he wanted more than anything was slipping away because of his brother. Fuming, he tried to punch Ranya, but Damian intervened.“You left once, but you came back to take up your responsibilities,” Mr. Lewiston continued, his voice seething with anger. “You can’t back out now
Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love Midnight Decisions
Calista paced angrily around her room. It was already midnight, and too much had happened since she arrived at the White House. Ranya’s unsettling behavior and unexpected announcement had left her feeling completely out of place. She hadn’t intended to hit Signoral, but the nasty things she had said pushed Calista to the edge.The only solution she saw now was to get out of Washington. She might not be able to catch a flight immediately, but she could at least find a hotel to stay at until the next day. She darted towards the closet, contemplating whether to take any clothes. Anthony had bought everything for her, and taking them might make her feel unreasonable, especially since she knew their relationship was likely coming to an abrupt end.Her stomach twisted uneasily. She hadn’t been able to gauge Anthony’s reaction to everything that had happened. She knew he would be shocked and disappointed, but a part of her, cruel as it might seem, hoped he would be the one to end things.The
Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love Escaping Shadows
“Put me down now, Ranya!” Calista screamed, bewildered as Ranya effortlessly lifted her off her feet, tossing her over his shoulder like she weighed nothing.“I will, if you stop struggling,” Ranya replied, his voice firm and commanding.Calista stopped wriggling and stretched her neck to look back, catching sight of Anthony trailing behind them, his expression dark with anger as he ordered Ranya to put her down.Growing tired of the situation, Ranya abruptly turned to face Anthony, still holding Calista securely.“Get this straight, Anthony: Calista was never yours, and she never will be.” Anthony’s eyes shifted to Calista, dangling helplessly over Ranya’s shoulder. “She wants to leave, and I’m taking her out of here. Don’t follow us.”“Where are you taking her?” Anthony demanded, fury surging through him. “She clearly doesn’t want your help.”Ranya sighed and put Calista down. “Fine,” he said, turning to her. “Do you want to leave or not? It seems your boyfriend needs your permissio
Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love Through the Night Sky
The ride began in tense silence as Ranya drove through the city toward the ramp where the aircraft awaited them. With Damian sitting beside him in the front seat, Ranya knew the quiet wouldn’t last.“About earlier, I’m really sorry,” Damian began, glancing quickly at Ranya before looking back out the window. “I shouldn’t have said those things about Aunt. I know she’s disappointed in me.”“She is,” Ranya replied, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. “But you’re forgiven.”Damian smirked. “I deserve an apology, too.”“For what?”“For almost killing me. I literally saw Dad in heaven… almost,” Damian said, trying to keep a straight face but failing to hide his grin.Ranya chuckled. “What did he say? Bet he was ready to welcome you.”Damian stared at Ranya for a moment, feeling foolish for ever wanting Ranya to be apart from Calista. Ever since she returned, even with her clear hesitation about being with Ranya, he had changed for the better. Damian wondered how happy Ranya would be if he ev
Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love Shattered Illusions
Calista was abruptly awakened by the irritating sound of her phone, pulling her out of a peaceful slumber. She groaned as she fumbled for the device, quickly silencing it with a press of the side button. Letting out a satisfied sigh, she closed her eyes, hoping to return to the blissful embrace of sleep.But the phone rang again, its insistent buzz cutting through the lingering haze of sleep. Calista squinted at the bright screen, the early morning sun filtering through the curtains and casting a warm glow across the spacious room. It took her a moment to remember where she was.The room was unfamiliar, and for a few seconds, she felt disoriented. She finally answered the call, barely registering who it was as she brought the phone to her ear.“Get yourself back to California!” her sister Willia’s voice blasted through the speaker, causing Calista to jerk the phone away from her ear.“What’s going on?” she asked, confused by the urgency in Willia’s usually calm voice. She had intended
Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love A Flight to Fate
They took her father.Those words echoed relentlessly in her mind as she struggled to get ready, her hands trembling as she fought to tame her hair into a messy ponytail. She was still in her pajamas, not even close to being properly dressed, but that didn’t matter. They had her father.She thought it was over. It should have been.Ranya watched her with concern, sensing the turmoil boiling beneath her frantic movements.“Where are you going?” he asked gently, careful not to provoke her, but his question only irritated her more.She shot him a withering glare. “You’re not seriously asking me that, are you?”“Cal…”“You’re the reason all of this is happening! You’re the thorn in my flesh, a past I want to erase!" Her voice was sharp, laced with the sting of unresolved pain.If only Ranya had not pursued her, had not shown any interest. She couldn’t help but think this was his father’s doing.“Calista,” he said softly, his tone full of warmth. The tenderness in his voice caught her off
Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love The Power Play
“You posted that video! Why would you do that to your friend?” Anthony yelled, his anger evident in every word. He had just seen the video spreading like wildfire. It wasn’t a regular recording but footage taken without consent—inside the White House, no less. And he knew only Signoral had the power to pull something like that off.Signoral let out a dry laugh, leaning back in the chair on the balcony.Calista must really be a superhero to have two great guys blindly taking her side, Signoral thought. She didn’t care if one of those guys was Anthony; she couldn’t stand watching Ranya bowing at Calista’s feet.Ranya had left her, despite knowing what was at stake. Signoral had only asked for a contract, so she wouldn’t come off as too pushy, but Calista had gone above and beyond, taking Ranya away from her once again.She was never really Calista’s friend. She had stayed close for a reason—to ensure her father had truly dropped his research. If she found out he was still digging, she w
Fading Embers: The Search For Lost Love The Cost of Secrets
“You really don’t have to be here,” Calista mumbled to Ranya, who sat across from her in the suite. Despite her distress, she felt a comforting warmth from his protective presence.“And yet, here I am,” Ranya replied calmly. “We can’t exactly turn around and fly back just to drop me off.”Calista averted her gaze, trying to piece together who could be behind the current situation. “You can fly back once I get to California. I’m sure the jet can make another trip.”Ranya noticed her sadness and knew it was related to him. While they were heading to the aircraft, he had asked Linn to look into the issue. Someone was causing trouble again, and it could be either his father or Signoral.“Do you think your father could be responsible for this?” Her voice was barely a whisper. “He’s the only one who knew about the sharks. Maybe this is his way of telling you to let me go.”“What makes you think it’s him?” Ranya asked, giving her a long, thoughtful look before finally gazing out of the windo
