As the last wisps of Emma's life slipped away, Annie's own vitality began to wane. The relentless pursuit of vengeance, the endless cycle of pain and anger, had finally taken its toll. She felt the weight of her exhaustion, the crushing burden of her grief, and knew she could fight no more. She knew she didn't have to fight for anything anymore, John was already down, he had lost his company, and a lot of people.With a heavy heart, Annie bid farewell to the opulent halls of John's mansion, leaving behind the only life she had known for so long. She turned her back on the memories, both bitter and sweet, and walked away from the two people who had become her unlikely family Andrew and little Ethan.As she disappeared into the horizon, Annie sought a fresh start, a new dawn where the shadows of her past wouldn't haunt her. She yearned for a place to heal, to rediscover herself, and to find solace in the quiet rhythms of an ordinary life.The wind whispered secrets in her ear, of a tomo
MIRABELThe day had been long and exhausting, but the weight of uncertainty had kept me awake. Ethan's DNA test had been the final thread holding together years of questions, doubts, and sleepless nights. I had to know if he was truly mine, if the child I had always wondered about had been in my arms all along.I walked out of the room. My heart was pounding, the paper heavy with the truth I had been searching for. The hallway felt endless as I made my way toward Raymond, who was standing at the edge of the room, his eyes full of concern. Ryan, Louis, and Victoria sat nearby, their faces reflecting the same worry that had been haunting all of us."I did a DNA test on Ethan," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.Raymond straightened up, his eyes locking onto mine. The room fell into an eerie silence as everyone stood up,their gaze on me"How did it turn out?" Ryan asked, his voice hesitant, as if he was bracing himself for the worst.I swallowed hard, the words caught in my throat.
Reports coming everywhere told us that Aliana was on her way to the airport. We rushed there but then I couldn't take it anymore. I told Ryan to stop the car, and the other convoy also stopped.“Kate, come with me” I said and we walked into one of the cars, the body guards stepped down and joined the third car.“Mirabel what on earth are you doing?” Raymond yelled at me “Kate knows how to drive, let's split into three, I will face her at the other side of the road” I said and Kate drove off immediately.As we continued driving, the road grew busier, and I kept a close eye on Ryan's car. "What's the color of her car?" I asked him, my voice firm and focused."Its black," he replied, rattling off the license plate number.Just then, Aliana took a wrong turn, unaware of our presence. She saw my car approaching and tried to turn back, but it was too late. Raymond's car blocked her path, trapping her. I leapt out of the car, sprinting towards her with Kate close behind."Let go of Ethan,
As I slowly opened my eyes, blinking away the fog of sleep, a gentle sense of peace settled over me. For the first time in what felt like forever, I felt like myself again. The weakness that had gripped my body was finally gone. The endless days of pain and uncertainty had melted away like a bad dream. I inhaled deeply, savoring the feeling of strength and renewal coursing through my veins. The air tasted sweeter, the light filtering through the curtains seemed warmer. I had come back to life, and it was a beautiful morning.The door to my room creaked open softly, and I turned my head to see Raymond standing in the doorway. His face lit up as soon as our eyes met, his expression a mixture of relief and love that made my heart ache with emotion. He rushed over to my side, kneeling by the bed and taking my hands in his, holding them as if I were the most precious thing in the world."You're awake," he breathed, his voice thick with emotion. "You're really awake."I smiled, squeezing hi
"No way, why would you f**k my friend on the night of the best surgeon day” I screamed after seeing Andrew and Aliana in the storage room.“No way you would probably get chosen” Andrew said rushing out of the storage roomI closed my eyes and opened it again so I could get what exactly is going on right nowIs this a dream, obviously not this is real“Aliana" I screamedShe rushed out of the storage room immediatelyI couldn’t bear the thought of Aliana seen with my boyfriend so I ran outside“Jeez, that damn ugly thing" I said as I threw a punch at the car window “oh my Goodness” I dropped my bags and closed my mouth “damn I thought it was my car"The owner of the car opened the car door and held my hands“What have you done to my car glasses” he said looking so paranoidI shivered in fear “oh no I am sorry, I am so sorry, I thought it was my car” I said begging for forgiveness“Oh my goodness, you are hurt” I touched his face which the glasses left a scratch on “its bleeding" I said
I rushed straight into the office, my heart racing with anticipation and anxiety. I was directed to the new Surgeon doctor, who is going to be my new partner at work.I walked in his office as directed, And then, I saw him. My ex-father, John. The man I had slept with, in a moment of weakness and vulnerability.He looked up from his desk, a mixture of surprise and guilt on his face. " Mirabel" he said, his voice dripping with shock "You work here ?"I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing thoughts.John's expression changed, his eyes narrowing."Do you want people to say I am sleeping with my coworker?" John said, his voice dripping with malice. "Because that's what they'll think, Mirabel. They'll think you're just another office tramp, sleeping your way to the top."I felt a surge of anger at his words, but I knew I had to keep my cool.John's face turned red with rage, and he took a step closer to me. "Alright, I don’t think I should care about what people will say all I know
As I slowly opened my eyes, the bright morning light piercing through the window felt like a sharp dagger to my brain. I groggily lifted my head off the pillow, and a wave of nausea washed over me, making my stomach churn with a sickening feeling. I felt like I'd been hit by a truck, my body heavy and weak.I tried to sit up, but the room began to spin, and I fell back onto the bed, my heart racing. The thought of getting out of bed and going to work felt like an insurmountable task. I couldn't shake off the feeling of sickness that had settled in the pit of my stomach, like a dark cloud looming over me.I took a few deep breaths, hoping to calm my racing thoughts and settle my queasy stomach. But the nausea persisted, threatening to unleash a torrent of unwanted contents from my stomach. I slowly turned onto my side, praying that the day would pass me by, and I could just sleep away the sickness. But the clock on my nightstand seemed to mock me, ticking away the minutes, reminding me
As I walked away from the tense encounter, I felt a subtle shift within my body. It was as if my cells were recalibrating, my nervous system unwinding, and my muscles relaxing. The tension that had been coiled within me like a spring began to unravel, releasing its hold on my physical form.With each step, I felt my body returning to its natural state, like a river flowing back into its tranquil course. My heartbeat slowed, my breathing deepened, and my mind cleared. The fog of anxiety and stress lifted, revealing a sense of clarity and calm.As the minutes ticked by, I felt my body fully return to normal, like a soft breeze on a summer day. My thoughts were no longer clouded by the emotional turmoil, and I was able to think with precision and clarity. I felt grounded, centered, and at peace.It was as if my body had been holding its breath, waiting for the storm to pass. And now, with the calm after the storm, I felt rejuvenated, refreshed, and ready to face whatever lay ahead.As I
