Nine Days Joelina Falk Novels & Stories

And when I finally made it to my bed, alone under the twelve-thousand-thread-count sheets, I didn’t even pretend to reach for Victor’s side. I reached for myself instead, biting the pillow so the staff wouldn’t hear whose name I was moaning when I came a second time that night. Twenty-nine days. God, I was already losing count.

Cassandra said calmly, and the line disconnected. Cassandra stepped inside her apartment, locating her room with a large stripe. She was already done in the shower when the doorbell rang. It was Inez. She got dressed quickly before proceeding to the door. As she opened the door, Inez hugged her immediately before urging her to lay plain the gist. Cassandra leisurely located the couch while Inez sat adjacent to her, impatiently beckoning Cassandra to start speaking. Cassandra rested a hand under her cheek before throwing in the news, “ I slept with a stranger, a total stranger, she admitted.

"Then we will keep it quiet. Just until you reach Zadok. He is eventually going to come back, Sandra. You know he would." I wanted to believe her. But a small terrified part of me wondered if he would see this as a trap, something that ruined everything he'd worked for. "Are you even sure? The test might be wrong." "I tried four different ones." The tears flowed freely now. "How about that?" I watched her battle with her own confused mind. "I would help you reach him," Maya said firmly. "We would find a way. I promise." I nodded, tears burning. "Thank you."

Four days later, Elena was in London. The morning after her arrival, she was met at her hotel by an elegant brunette in her thirties. A senior coordinator in Andrea Santino’s employ, it had been Josephine Carper who liaised with Elena on the phone and orchestrated all the arrangements to be made on her behalf.

It was now Josh's turn to weep. My goodness! The kid wept for forty days and forty nights! Well, for me I was elated she left. Me and Iyvonne,we just don't get along. We lived like two wives dragging one husband in our house. If she agrees,I would disagree. If I agree, she would disagree. Crazy! I watched as Josh snuggled into her arms. She was now all grown up and a university girl. Her hair was stretched out in a bun. She wore a designer Jean cross belt gown and a pink Polo inside it. She wore pink sneakers that fitted well.

The second he saw me glance up, something dark flashed across his face. He strode straight toward Kael. “Are you insane? You think if you recreate the old trick, she’ll suddenly look back?” Then he swung. They crashed into each other so hard that the roses scattered across the pavement. “I’ve never seen anyone more shameless,” Kane spat. “Thirty years old and still playing the pathetic third man outside another woman’s gate.” Kael hit back just as hard. “Third man? Selene was with me for nine years. If she hadn’t lost the pup in that crash and if her body hadn’t been damaged after, I never would have let Lyra keep the child.”

"No, you're Jenna. You've finally returned." Tears streamed down her face in thick rivulets. "I'm so sorry for letting you suffer for nine long years. But now, you have me, and all my love is yours. You don't need to be afraid anymore. That little wretch is gone. She got exactly what she deserved, just like that monster…" Fear coursed through Anna, making her body quake. She flailed in a desperate and weak frenzy, as if she might crumble into pieces. Mom rose, carrying a bowl of her ever-greasy stew. "Jenna, just drink a little…"

'Leave my house,' I yelled, moving forward to push her out of my room. ‘I would leave but I want you to know you were lucky someone saved you.’ She turns to leave but I grabbed her arm. ‘What do you mean I was lucky?’ Kira rolled her eyes at me. ‘Jake's instructions were to drug you and get you into a room I have prepared. There, he would rape you.' ‘What?’ I am tongue-tied at the revelation. ‘Remember those two strippers I showed you? The one I had a threesome with? They have instructions to rape you and make a video of it, which I intend to upload on every social network for the whole world to see.'

“Of course, I will let you go.” “Really? Oh my God, thank you so much.” “But that will be after ninety days.” “What?” She screamed. “Yes, ninety days.” “What do you mean after ninety days? Are you crazy? You kidnapped me for no reason and you won't let me go till after ninety days?” “You should be lucky I didn't say I will kill you.” “Let me go, this is a great offense and I will report you to the cops, untie me and let me go.”

one of them proudly proclaimed as I sat down and joined their little circle. "You eat bugs?" I asked them and this one beautiful girl with porcelain skin and beautiful short dark hair that reached her chin shook her head. "Kordelia speaks for herself and herself alone," this girl replied with a pointed look in my direction as if to warn me to dare not assume that she eats bugs. My heart broke as I dug my acrylic nails into the dirt as I started to help the girls dig, "my name's Sarafina, what are your names?" I asked as they all crouched down and our heads were put together as we continued to dig for absolutely no reason.
