Miracle on Hollow Peak ANOTHER PLAN
GABRIELClive Peterson, a longtime friend and one of my clients, was the one wanting my services. For free this time. Like a charity thing. So I had to meet him at his house. I didn’t like where we were going to meet. It was originally scheduled for his downtown office, but shortly after my shift ended, I received a text telling me to meet him at his home.“Gabriel!” In shorts and a t-shirt, Clive showed up to greet me in the entrance of his property. He didn’t appear to be going about his business as usual; instead, he appeared to be on holiday.Feeling overdressed in my suit, I stepped out of the automobile.“I trust you don’t mind coming here.” He said with a sparkle in his brown eyes. His naturally dark hair was sharp, and his face was tanned. “Don’t you think the weather was just too great for us to be locked up in an office?” He took me inside without waiting for my response and gave me a friendly pat on the back.Indeed, the weather was lovely. Summer was almost around the co

KIRAYesterday was such a full day and now I could feel my stomach turning upside down and I had an awful headache.It was a day filled to the brim with emotions. Emotions that I didn’t seem to know how to handle properly. After lunch, I couldn’t stay in the office anymore. I informed Alana that I would skip work, to let Gabriel know because I really didn’t want to face him. I first went to the pharmacy before going straight home.“You all right, sweetie?” I heard a voice as I was trying to unlock the door to my apartment.It was my neighbor, Mrs. Crane. “Yeah,” I said and forced a smile onto my face. “Just a little dizzy.”“Do you need anything, my dear?” Mrs. Crane continued to ask, and as much as I used to enjoy talking to her now I really didn’t feel up to it. “I’m fine, don’t worry, Mrs. Crane. Nothing that a little rest could not fix” “Ok, take care hon!”I didn’t answer back, but just turned the key in the door lock and walked in. I finally gained access to my apartment a

KIRA I was glad I wasn’t pregnant. I would have condemned another little soul to a life without a father. Very irresponsible of me. When I walked through the company’s door, things were different. Alana was waiting for me with one corner of her mouth raised. I didn’t know if it was out of sheer joy at seeing me, or something intrigued her . “Hi Alana! Is Gabriel in the office?” I asked half-heartedly, holding my breath. “He’s been here for about an hour and he’s waiting for you.” “Oh yeah, the project. I’d forgotten. God, how I wish I could get over it.” “What’s the project about?” Alana asked. “Is that what we talked about yesterday?” “That indeed. It’s an enormous project, but I just don’t think it’s a good fit for me” “Oh, come on, Kira! You’re one of the most experienced people on the team. You’re the perfect candidate for the job. Gabriel didn’t choose you for nothing. You will be fine,” Alana encouraged me, but it was like too late for that. I was going to spend the e

GABRIELI was feeling an acute lack of energy like never before. Especially after Kira left the office. She was very good at what she did, but that’s not what interested me. That was not why I took her on this project. I just wanted to see her more.“You what?” asked John, dumbfounded about my decision. “You know how I feel about her, so I took her on a project just so I could see her more often. I don’t think it is a crime, is it?” “That’s a bit unprofessional, Gabriel. You shouldn’t let your personal feelings get in the way of work,” he stated, concerned. “I know, I know. But I can’t help it. I just can’t get her out of my head and you know that. You know she would accept none of my invitations if it is not about the job,” I defended myself.“Well, you have to be careful. This could negatively impact the dynamics of the company and lead to a hostile work environment. Not to mention the project you are working on,” John advised me. “I understand your concerns, John. I’ll try to k

KIRAI never thought this day would come. How was I supposed to come to terms with it? How?And never had Hollow Peak seemed so sad and depressing. I always associated it with Christmas and the holidays and the place where I came to find refuge and feel loved. In the warmth of my family. Now that family was no longer whole. Everyone was sad and barely talking to each other. My brother’s face was drawn, and the tears seemed to be uncontrollable. “Mom, I can’t believe that grandma is gone. I keep thinking that I will wake up and this will all have been a bad dream,” I said to my Mom who was in the kitchen doing nothing. I was worried about her. “I know, sweetheart. It’s a difficult time for all of us, but we have to remember the good times we shared with her and cherish those memories,” she answered me back with a strength I never thought she had. It was her mother that died. “But I’ll never be able to see her again, or hear her voice. It feels like a part of me is missing” “I unde

KIRASomehow, she found the balance and strength to speak one last time about the one who gave her life. “Mom, where do I even begin? You were my rock, my best friend, my everything. I never thought I would have to say goodbye to you so soon. The pain is unbearable, and the thought of living without you is too much to bear.No matter what life threw your way, you always had a smile on your face. You taught me to be strong, to never give up, and to always follow my dreams. You showed me what true love is, and I will always be grateful for the way you loved me unconditionally.Why did you have to leave me so soon? It feels like yesterday when you were here, making me breakfast and tucking me into bed at night. Now, all I have are memories, and they just aren’t enough.I miss your laugh, the way you used to light up a room with your smile. I miss your hugs, the way you used to make everything feel better with just a squeeze. I miss your advice, the way you always knew what to say to mak
Last Updated : 2023-02-17Miracle on Hollow Peak WHAT WAS THIS FEELING?
GABRIELI heard nothing else but that the little girl was impossible to find. Then Kira’s despair. “What do you mean you can’t find her? She was just here a minute ago… how could she…” Kira mumbled, but never got the chance to finish as her feet became weak and almost fell.“Easy there, Kira!” I said, catching her in my arms. I had forgotten what it was like to hold her, but now really wasn’t the time. I lifted her easily and laid her on the living room couch. More people had gathered around us, and Kira was becoming increasingly agitated.“Please keep your distance! Kira needs to breathe!” I shouted and to my surprise Kira’s mother immediately jumped to my help. “This young man is right! I will ask you politely to return to your homes. We have buried my mother, so...” she said without needing to continue. People were already retreating. I looked at her gratefully and turned my gaze to Kira’s brother.“Joe, please get me some vinegar from the kitchen.” As soon as I passed the vin

KIRAI could hardly contain my tears when I saw Kira in Gabriel’s arms. The image of them was like a blow to the back of my head. They were so father and daughter. I rushed over to him.“Gabriel, oh my goodness! Is that Maddie?” I screamed, stretching my arms towards her. She did the same. “Yes, Kira. I found her safe and sound”“Oh, my baby! Thank you so much, Gabriel. I was so worried,” I cried, caressing her and stroking her hair. But she was all smiles. “It was no problem at all. I’m just glad I could help,” Gabriel added humbly, but only I knew how concerned I had been. “How did you find her? Where was she?” “I remembered the day you took me to see the old church and somehow I thought she might be there,” he explained. “She looked a little lost, so I went over to talk to her, and when I found out she was your daughter, I knew I had to bring her back to you” “Thank you so much, Gabriel. You don’t know how much this means to me,” I said, tears streaming down my cheeks. I pla

Miracle on Hollow Peak HAPILLY EVER AFTER
GABRIELThis day was going to be an experience that we would be sure to remember for many years to come. I suggested to Kira that it would be a splendid plan if we traveled to Hollow Peak to pay her family a visit. They would be so happy to see us together... all three of us. As the Christmas season drew closer, this time of year was an especially meaningful and joyous time. It was like a circle closing.As I pulled up to Kira’s family home in Hollow Peak, I could see the excitement on their faces from the window. Kira’s mother rushed out of the house to us, extending her open arms and giving us both a warm and loving embrace. Upon seeing us, she expressed great delight and joy and welcomed us warmly into her home.We stepped inside the cozy living room, where a warm fire was burning in the fireplace. The inviting and delectable aroma of freshly baked cookies and holiday treats filled the entire room. Mrs. Reed had a hard time containing her enthusiasm when we sat down on the comforta
Miracle on Hollow Peak I PROMISE, KIRA!
KIRAGiven all the excitement, I couldn’t believe I got any sleep at all. I had a premonition that something was going to take place today. It turned out that my assumption was correct. Two knocks at the door brought me with my feet on the ground, as I was still in a dream world. When I opened the door, Gabriel was there, and our daughter, Maddie, was standing beside him. As soon as I saw the delight in her expression, I realized that something amazing was about to happen. As Gabriel spoke, I could feel a sense of anticipation and excitement growing within me as I realized he had something special in store for me.“Hey Kira,” he said with a smile. “I am sorry to barge in like this, but I need your help. I’ve got a business meeting in the afternoon, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to spend the day with Maddie like we planned. So is it alright if I leave her with you for the day?” he asked with a grin on his face.When I initially heard the news, it shocked me. However, upon looking in
Miracle on Hollow Peak A SPECIAL DAY
KIRAThe following day it filled me with immense joy and happiness. I was so excited when I ordered some Chinese food and asked Alana if she wanted to have a chat. There were no more steps to take. I was so close to my family.Maddie and I were more connected than ever before as she talked to me about the troubles she had faced and the hopes she held for the future. She really missed me. We could finally look at each other and recognize our true selves, and it gave me an overwhelming feeling of contentment and joy that had been absent for such a long time.And then there was Gabriel. The time we spent together last night was a reminder to me that my love for him had not diminished in the slightest. Our relationship had endured a lot of hardship, and there were moments where I thought it might be beyond repair. I sensed that this was meant to happen, and I knew that we were meant for each other as I held him close.“Wow, I love Chinese,” Alana said, diving into the dish.“Bet you do,”
Miracle on Hollow Peak WE WERE A FAMILY
KIRAI couldn’t help but smile to myself as I sat in this spot, the terrace of his house, which had become a favorite spot of mine, and observed the world outside. My joy stemmed from the fact that Gabriel and I had made up, and I was once more his.For so long, I was lost without him. The connections between us had become so strong that when we were apart, I felt like an essential part of me had been taken away. But now, everything felt right again.I could feel the warmth of the sun on my face, and I knew that this was just the beginning. Our lives would merge once again, and we would build a future together.I knew that there would be difficulties since there always were in life, but I had faith that we could get through them. We could withstand everything the world could hurl at us because of our growing love.After feeling suffocated for so long, I could now finally take in a full breath of fresh air. I have been able to free myself from the heavy burden that was weighing me down
Miracle on Hollow Peak FOREVER AND EVER
KIRAIt’s been a long time since I had such a calm conversation with Gabriel. I missed his warm voice. My heart was aching from the weight of the past as I sat there and watched Gabriel. I knew that in order to put the past behind us and stop hurting one other; we had to bury the hatchet of war. “Gabriel,” I began, my voice hesitant. “I need to talk to you about Maddie.”Gabriel looked up, his eyes meeting mine. “What about her?” he asked, his voice reserved.“I understand now that I made a mistake in hiding the truth about Maddie being your daughter,” I whispered. “I should have told you the truth from the beginning.”Gabriel’s expression softened, and he let out a deep sigh. “I know I didn’t do the right thing either,” he admitted. “When I did the DNA test without your knowledge and filed that lawsuit seeking full custody.”I nodded, tears pricking at the corners of my eyes. “We both made mistakes, Gabriel. But Maddie needs us to be her parents, to work together for her sake.”
Miracle on Hollow Peak ALL I NEDEED
KIRAI couldn’t believe Gabriel’s nerve. He had the audacity to suggest we ignore the court’s decision and both look out for Maddie’s best interests. How far could his recklessness go?That this was happening to me shocked me. I walked all the way to Gabriel’s house, and here I was by myself in this pitch-black alley. I did not know how I got here, but I didn’t like it. My palms were sweating profusely, and my heart was pounding. I could feel my hair standing up on the back of my neck.Gabriel must still be in his house, I was certain. While someone else was coming after me, the coward wouldn’t. I knew it wasn’t him when I heard hasty footsteps behind me.It was someone else, and they were getting closer.My legs felt numb as I tried to keep up with the pace. I was too scared to look back, but I could hear them getting closer and closer. I knew I needed to find a way out of here, but everything looked the same in this alley. There were no lights, no doors, no windows.My mind started r
Miracle on Hollow Peak YOU'LL REGRET IT, GABRIEL BATES!
KIRA The only company I had while I sat alone in my living room was the sound of the clock ticking. The room was still, silent, and heavy with the weight of my thoughts. I couldn’t believe what had just happened. Gabriel had won custody of Maddie again. I felt sick to my stomach as I thought about it. How could this be happening? I had done everything in my power to prove to the court that Maddie was better off with me, but it seemed like none of it had mattered. Gabriel had won, and there was nothing I could do about it. I tried to overcome the sense of helplessness that had taken hold of me. For Maddie’s sake, I knew I had to maintain my composure, but it was challenging when all I wanted to do was curl up in a ball and sob. I reflected on all the occasions I had spent with Maddie, the times we had had together, and our love and respect for one another. Everything seemed very genuine and real. I didn’t know how the court could disregard that. But then again, Gabriel was a skille
Miracle on Hollow Peak I MADE MY DECISION!
KIRA I could feel my heart pounding in my chest as I thought about seeing Gabriel again in court. The citation had finally reached him, and we would have face off once more in our never-ending battle for custody of Maddie. It had been a year since I last saw her, and the pain of not being able to be with her on her sixth birthday still stung my heart. But I wouldn’t let that get to me. I would fight tooth and nail to get her back, no matter what it took. This time, with the help of my new lawyer and the additional evidence we had gathered, I was sure we would come out on top. It was not just about winning, though. It was about being reunited with my daughter, about being able to hold her close and tell her how much I loved her. Being a mother to her was what it was about, something he had denied me for a long time. I couldn’t let myself get too emotional, though. I needed to stay focused, to keep my eye on the prize. Gabriel would do everything in his power to keep Maddie away from
Miracle on Hollow Peak A DAY TO REMEMBER
GABRIEL As I ventured through the beautiful mountain range of Hollow Peak, I experienced a sensation of great joy and serenity. The cool breeze swept through my hair, and the chirping of birds filled the air, making me feel like I was in a different world altogether. But what made this experience even more special was that I was not alone. By my side was my six-year-old daughter Maddie, and for the next few days, she was all mine. I had planned this trip for a long time, and I knew Maddie would be over the moon to spend time in such a beautiful place. But what she didn’t know was that I had a surprise in store for her, one that would make this trip even more unforgettable. As we approached our destination, I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. I knew that Kira's family was also in Hollow Peak and I knew there was a probability of me bumping into them. But that didn’t matter. I had already decided, and nothing was going to change my plans. Finally, we arrived at our destination
