《Keeping Lennox》Chapter Fourteen
Advertisement
"What in the world are you trying to here Tori?" He yelled, holding up the papers.
"I'm getting rid of her. I don't want her anyways. It gets her out of my hair. And, we don't have to do those grueling court hours. We can finish it here and for all."
"No, Tori. Why can't you understand that I want Lennox? Are you trying to make me mad. Because it is working."
"Seriously, Wade. You don't actually think I am buying this do you? You don't want her."
"Yes! I do! Why would I be here if I didn't? Huh, Tori? Answer that question!"
"Wade, please. Just sign the papers. We can just go on and pretend none of this ever happened. Let the memory of Lennox just pass out of your mind."
"Are you stupid or something? How can I forget everything that has went on this past year. Tori, I love that little girl. She means everything to me." I held up the papers. "See these? Yeah, forget about me signing them." I ripped the paper to shreds in front of her face.
"See you in eight days, Tori. Goodbye." With that, I slammed the door and walked out.

Cassie's POV
I heard wade's car pull into the drive. Hmm. That was quick. He wasn't even gone an hour.
I walked and met him at the door. "How did it go?" I asked. He looked pretty happy, so it must have gone well.
"I hope well. I think I scared her off. At least I hope." He pulled me closer to him.
"Well, what did you say? Or, what did you do?" I knew he had done something. I could tell by his expression.
"Oh, nothing. I just ripped the papers up in front of her face and threw them on the ground," he said this like it didn't matter.

"Wade Malachi Bentley! Why did you do that?" I was terrified for him. Who knows what Tori will do now.
"It seemed right. She tried to tell me that I didn't really want Lennox. She said I was putting on a show. How does she know my feelings?" He kissed my forehead. Man, he was so sweet. "Also, I told her I would see her in eight days, and I slammed the door in her face."
I just looked at him in shock. I was really glad he actually stood up for what he wanted. He has held back his anger for so long.
I shook my head and laid it on his chest while he held me close.
Now, I just fear what is going to happen with Lennox.

As a long-time streamer, Justin’s never played DUSKFALL without an audience to keep his attention off the demon-infested forests and brutal violence. But hastily chosen teammates in a world gone sideways can have more repercussions than a few bruised feelings. None of this is fine; not remotely. If either is going to survive, they can’t do it alone, they can’t do it lightly, and they have to figure it out soon... before it’s too late for either of them. Guaranteed Wednesday updates.Contains light LitRPG elements

Mindful Beauty
Damien Petrotti barricaded himself within his logical, black and white walls, believing there is no area for second chances, for grey areas, or messy emotions. When he first meets the quiet and soft-spoken Ella Cortesa, a Spanish, delicate girl, he can't help but dislike her naivety and ignorance of the world. He lives in the court, deciding between right and wrong, and she lives advising people, giving them psychological help. He's not as cold as she thinks, and she's not as naive as he thinks.A modern combination of mind over heart, or is it heart over mind?•••Ch. 39 Excerpt"Thank you for having the patience with me." Damien broke the silence, almost inaudibly when he began to feel Ella's full body trust him enough to begin to fall unconscious over him.Thinking that Ella wouldn't respond, Damien was ready to close his eyes and also go to sleep, but then he felt Ella's cold hand give him the smallest and most adoring squeeze on his warm fingers, her hum of something incoherent before she stilled completely, her breathing falling deeply.Even in her sleep, she could sense Damien, she would respond even in unconsciousness, and that made Damien's heart skip a beat."To say that you are my whole existence and life would be the biggest understatement, my Ella." Damien sighed, incredulous that he had been blessed with such a beautiful and extraordinary human.
