Nicki was trying to figure out her life. Newly divorced from a narcissist, she had two young children with her ex-husband and was pregnant with her third, also his. She had no idea how to manage on her own, but thankfully she was a veterinarian and had prospects for work. She was dealing with some heavy emotional baggage from the relationship as well. The last thing she expected or needed was to meet a handsome stranger in an airport that was incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. Perhaps because she was in so much emotional turmoil, she found herself telling him all about her life. It felt safe, knowing she wasn't going to ever see him again. Or maybe she'd just finally lost her mind.

Charlie was disillusioned with his life but didn't understand why. He had spent the past year working on himself, and he was starting to feel like his present situation didn't offer what he wanted. He'd been blessed to find success in his career, but now that success seemed to have consequences that made him feel like everyone around him was trying to get something from him. Some days, all he wanted was someone to see him for who he was, not his success.

Meeting Nicki was like a breath of fresh air swept into his heart. He couldn't seem to walk away, and the more he got to know her, the more he wanted from her. The difficulty quickly became their vastly different lives, compounded by the emotional baggage Nicki was dealing with, as well as her ex-husband that couldn't seem to let go.

I heave in an astronomical breathe. Dumped Death Dad Downpour That just sums up my whole day. But the only thought that's racking through my depressing brain right now as I stare up at the unexpectedly dark sky is... I should've brought an umbrella. I step out into the cold wind, splatters of raindrops hitting my cheeks. I trudge through the wet pavement, my sneakers soaking up the water. Dumped Death Dad Downpour Summarization of my fucked up day. I shiver as the cold raindrops begin pouring heavier, the water saturating through my hair and soaking my clothes. I stop immediately when I hear a helpless whimper coming from the alley beside a small bakery. I hear it again, low and sad. I step towards the sound and find two green eyes staring up at me belonging to a black cat. It's coat drenched and it's whiskers drooping low. Like it's frowning. Even in my damp mood I feel sorry for the little animal. "You don't have a home, little guy?" I ask, squatting to see it better. Did it just shake its head!? I blink a few times and sigh. I'm probably seeing things. It's been overwhelmingly negative lately. I reach a hand for the feline and it corresponds, tucking its head under it. I pet it's wet coat and stare at it as it closes its eyes. I can't leave such a pitiful thing next to the dumpsters and cold rain to be frozen alive or ravished by stray dogs. So I do what every human being would do in my situation, I take it home. And that was possibly the stupidest thing I've ever done. *** This is a story about a girl named Lucky. But of course she's everything but lucky. One day she comes across this odd feline who acts strangely like a human. Maybe he is really a human and Lucky has got her hands into a whole lot of trouble. Or maybe she found what she was missing and this feline becomes her lucky clover. Get ready for a a world full of drama and unlucky incidents.

#4 in the Doctor series When are you divorcing me?" He did nothing but stare in shock, surprise, and something else-which he shouldn't-yes, he shouldn't feel hurt. There is no vitality or existence in this relationship, and we are drifting like two birds with no destination. "You seem to be in haste to get rid of me?" he questioned otherwise. "It's better for both of us... I mean for three of us. I feel bad that instead of knowing you love someone else, I married you. Maybe if I tried to speak with Dadu, he would have understood it. He would have been angry but knowing that his children's happiness lies in someone else, he could have understood it sooner or later." I thought this wedding wouldn't affect me. I will mind my job but know things have changed. I... I started to love him which I can't say to him. He will never leave the girl he was in love with for 3 years for a relationship of 10 days and that's me. "Can you be without me?" I perceived a drop of rain falling on me I don't know why did he ask me that. And from where this question came? Maybe I will be shattered into pieces, Ekansh. But I acted most weirdly. I laughed at him. "You are saying as if we have been together for years. Come on Ekansh, I am not a love-sick girl." He caught my wrist gently and made me stare at him. "Then, I will divorce you very soon!" He muttered against my face and he sounded angry again. *** Bond to him streams about the couple whose wedding was fixed by their elders when they were kids. Growing up, their thoughts, views, and interests drastically changed. They were on different paths in life. Neither of them was fond of each other until the topic of the wedding was brought up.

"Abort it." "Excuse me ?" "Abort that thing inside of you!" He shouts in my face. I put my hands on his chest, trying to put some space between us. The man didn't even budge. "I'm not aborting my baby!" I feel strong hands wrap around my throat, and the next thing I know, I'm being lifted off the floor, fighting for air. "Listen here, you bitch you will abort that child, and if you don't, I'll personally kill you both myself. I'm a man of my word. Do not test me." He spat dead calm. Elora finds herself in a sticky position when her brother was in a terrible car accident, leading to an expensive medical bill that neither of them could afford. Her parents died when she was young, leaving her brother as her sole guardian. The two had been incredibly close over the years, and she had to find a way to help him in his current position. She had no choice but to sleep with a man she knew nothing about for money to cover the hospital bill, but later found out she was pregnant. The worst-case scenario is that the father wants nothing to do with her and the unborn child. After three years of guilt, pain, and regret, the two cross paths once more, and Elora struggles to make the right decisions as he was determined to be in their little girl's life.

Unlucky for you, my room is very clean," he said, "Now what are you worrying about so much?" I stopped picking at my cuticles. It was kind of weird that he could see me doing something and read me like a book before I could even realize I was doing it. I felt my heart pound in my chest. "Well, it's just this whole pretending to date you thing," I shrugged, "How far do we have to take it? Do we have to do it in front of our friends? Do we have to do it in public because obviously we ran into Olivia today and we weren't planning on it. Oh shit, what if she sees you with another girl? I mean, what would happen then? What if she sees me talking to another guy? How long is this going to go on? What if we have to kiss in front of Olivia? I mean, it's not that I don't want to kiss you but--" I rambled on nervously.

Once upon a time, in a world where destiny held sway, there lived a woman named Mariffey Aleomy Fidal. She was a whirlwind of ambition and creativity, a young woman who painted her dreams onto canvases and sculpted her future with the strength of her spirit. But fate had a different plan for her. At the tender age of eighteen, she was destined to marry a man, a man chosen for her by a force beyond her control. His name was Xian Matthew Velasquez, with a compassionate heart and treated everyone with respect. He was everything Mariffey wasn't-grounded, patient, and a pillar of stability in a world that often felt chaotic. Their marriage was a union of two souls, bound by a destiny that they couldn't escape. Xian, with his gentle nature, took on the responsibilities of their life together, providing for her, supporting her dreams, and loving her unconditionally. He was her rock, her anchor, the steady presence she needed in a world that often felt like a storm. As the years passed, a slow, steady flame ignited between them. They started to see each other beyond the constraints of their predetermined union. They found solace in each other's company, laughter in shared moments, and a deep, unspoken understanding that transcended the boundaries of their arranged marriage. Mariffey, however, held a secret, a truth that she couldn't share with Xian. A secret that threatened to shatter their fragile happiness. It was a secret that whispered in her ear, a voice that told her she was not meant for this kind of love, that she was meant for something more, something wilder, something that defied the boundaries of destiny. But Xian, with his unwavering love and gentle understanding, had a way of calming the storm within her. He saw her, truly saw her, beneath the layers of doubt and fear. He loved her not for who she was destined to be, but for who she truly was.

"Nate where the fuck have you been? It is three a.m. I have left you hundreds of messages." "Get the fuck out of my house." He said through his teeth. "Why what is wrong? What happened?" She asked as she smelled the whiskey in his breath. "You are a fucking whore. You are having an affair with my brother. How could you?" Things took an ugly tun when things turn physical. Nate suddenly grabbed her by her throat and pulled her to the table. "Shut up and sign." Her hands trembled as she signed the divorced papers. "There I signed the papers." She said as she began crying again. "I don't know why or what happened for you to do this but I love you." "Shut up!" He screamed at her before pushing her. He pushed too hard and she went through the glass side door. ***** "Let's cut to the chase, shall we? Last night about quarter past nine there was car accident but an eye witness told us exactly what happened and it looks like attempted murder." "What has this got to do with me or Ana? Wait you don't think I am hiding that bitch, are you?" "Mr. Davison please keep that big mouth of yours close or so help me I will arrest you for insulating a police officer. No, I don't think you are hiding That Bitch as you put it because it was Ana who was in the accident and I think you ordered the hit on Ana for revenge." "Why the hell would I do that to her?" "...because you found out that she hid your child from you."
