Savant Awards Winner #16 in mystery romance on 10.08.2022 #14 in womenpower When 29-year-old Hannah married 36-year-old Albert, one of the richest people in the world she was already numb. After marriage, she also got a rebellious teenage stepson as a side gift. How will these 3 misfit people live together under the same roof and become an awkwardly sweet family? ********************************************* "Why don't you give me and yourself a chance?" He asked. "Maybe because I do not have anything else to live for" She replied "Then let's build things to love a lifetime for." He replied with determination. "I won't think of you as my real mother, but don't worry, I'll be a good son" Chimed in her stepson. Love is not always sweet, at first sight, and during college or office. Love can also be encountered by chance in the most pessimistic scenarios. It can be your last salvation when you have nothing to hold on to. She was already dead inside, so the addition of two virtual people did not bother her already stagnant life much. But the peace did not last for long. She wanted to get through life quietly but life had other plans for her. With the addition of this 2 cold-looking but soft-hearted people in her life she slowly regained some purpose to live. She started the things which she had left before and stood on her own two feet. Her husband complained one day. "I heard about something you mentioned outside, that men only care more when they're older? So? Are you complaining that I'm old now?" Hannah said, "Wait, listen to me!" **************** The story will be long and detailed with lots of family moments and some dry humour added in here and there. This is not the cliché love at first sight story, but it will be very sweet. Updates:weekly.

1 part Complete

It is Resa's birthday and she is 54 years old. She has one year left until she goes over and she has been perfectly happy for the past 37 years, never questioning whether or not she loves her husband or even likes her children. But now she does. She has heard that some run but most, pretty much all, just go over. They go peacefully but Resa cannot believe they go happily. Older than her husband, she must go alone. She is given a guide dog to help her to make sense of the transition, to be with her, to be the be the only thing she knows on the day she turns 55. She doesn't even know what to call it.
