The Last Embrace Chapter 114
Advertisement
When they teleported into the condo unit nobody is home. They check the living room and the two rooms, no one is inside the unit. No one is home.
The Queen was in deep thought wondering where his son could be at this hour, but since her son is a model he could be working somewhere around the city doing a photoshoot with his colleagues.
"Looks like...they were not home yet. Adam has a friend named Caden who also lives with him here," the Queen explained.
"I will just wait for them, Mother," Jessy said.
"Okay, that's good! You can watch the TV if you want," the Queen pointed the television in the living room. "Feel yourself at home, there's a fridge in the kitchen if you are hungry," she added.
"Thank you for bringing me here, Mother," said Jessy.
"Don't mention it. I will go back now to the Facility," the Queen said. "One more thing Jessy, no matter what happens don't try to make a big issue about Adam's new look, you have to understand that originally without the curse on his skin, he would grow up to be a handsome young man just like what you see in that poster in that store, that is his true appearance anyway without the curse, he suffered so much because of that cursed skin and his sudden untimely death, please don't make things difficult for him, okay?"
"Yes Mother," Jessy replied just to humor the Queen.
A few seconds later the Queen vanished from the condo unit.
Jessy made a tour inside Adam's dwelling which is spacious enough for two single men. She checked the two rooms for a few minutes, then exited. She went to the kitchen and opened the fridge, there were apples, oranges, and grapes, she took one apple and washed it in the sink...she took a big bite, nice...it's sweet!

She went to the living room and power on the television. She scanned for channels that can give her interesting shows. She settled herself comfortably on the sofa and watch a science fiction movie with two hours running time. After finishing one apple, she went back to the kitchen and opened the fridge, she took some grapes... washed them on the sink and put them on the platter, then she went back to the living room to resume watching the sci-fi movie.
In the middle of watching she felt bored, she paused the movie.
Where are they?
Are they going home tonight?
How long does she have to wait?
She's getting impatient.
She wants to see Adam now!
She went back to the bedroom where she saw Gavin Sander's poster on the wall. That must be Adam's room and the other one was Caden's.
Maybe she should take a closer look at Adam's room.
She entered his room and jumped into his comfy bed. She was lying down on the soft bed and inhaled Adam's scent, it's indeed his room, he might not look the same anymore but his old scent still smells the same.
She buried her face into his pillow. She closed her eyes for a moment and inhaled more of his scent.
Dang! She's getting restless! She will go out of the unit and find Adam all over the city. But where she would start? Maybe she would just sleep while waiting for them to arrive.
Fifteen minutes later, she can't sleep. She didn't come here to sleep though, she's here to see Adam.
She went out of the room and sauntered back to the living room and resumed watching the boring movie.
She roamed her eyes around the condo unit...
Then her eyes landed on the balcony.

She stood up and walked towards it, she opened the glass door and steps into the balcony, there is one table and two chairs in there. The view above is nice. The endless city skyline was adorned with millions of dazzling lights as far as her eyes could see.
The cold wind blows...blowing her long black hair away from her face.
The full moon is bigger and far more beautiful looking tonight.
She looked down below...wow... there's a swimming pool on the ground floor of the building. She saw a group of people in their swimming attire frolicking in the pool, then she saw Adam in the pool beside another guy, that must be Caden, they were surrounded with six beautiful sexy ladies wearing a skimpy swimsuit, they were laughing at one another, having fun.
Jessy bit her lip.
So---he now becomes a ladies man with his good looks, eh? what can she expect? With a handsome and famous face such as his... Gavin will surely have lots of beautiful admirers crowding his universe.
Dang! It looks like he loves the attention...
Grrr!
Ouch! She winces in pain.
She feels jealous all of a sudden.
Her stare must have drilled a hole in his head because Gavin finally raised his eyes towards the balcony of his condominium unit...he saw a woman standing in the balcony!
Their eyes met.
Jessy went back inside in a hurry after meeting Adam's gaze, she doesn't want to see him anymore! It looks like he was already enjoying his life without her.

# The Gemstone of Ominium 1 - Denial
* Know more about the books and read earlier releases on the official site: http://carpersanti.net/arnae/ * He had to see her again. He didn't know why. He was a grown man now, no longer the lonely child he'd been in the past. And yet the breathtaking need remained the same, and every time he recalled that night the pain of separation was still as strong, still as raw has it had been. He knew it made no sense and yet he couldn't deny it. No matter what others might say he had to meet her. And, deep inside his heart, he childishly hoped she'd be a little bit like him, that she'd be able to truly see and understand him. For what bound could be stronger than blood?She dreamed of death every night and of freedom every morning. From her window she saw herself leave that place, run across the forest and escape the suffocating fate that awaited her. And yet she knew that the chains that bound her were needed and well deserved. For she was all too aware of the dark horror of who she truly was. And so she accepted her fate. Until a promise she couldn't remember being made was fulfilled, and a Prophecy of blood and death never came to pass. And so maybe she could be freed from those chains after all. Maybe there was still hope for her. Maybe she'd be strong enough to deny her true self and simply live.

Flap Merganser: Space Duck
This story began as joke to troll some dude on reddit, but I fell in love with the premise and kind of went crazy writing without any direction or planning. Luckily for me, I spent a couple months convinced I was dying and stepped away from the project. I'm not dying by the way, at least not any more than in the traditional sense. But during that period of inner turmoil, I was able to step back and realize I wasn't too thrilled with the direction this was going. So I have relaunched this project under the name Duck Around and Find Out. Some elements will be the same, and some early chapters may be pretty close to what was in the original draft, but I wanted to get into the action with a bit more haste. That being said, I'm going to leave this up here for now so that you can see how this whole project started. So read it if you want to. Or don't. I don't really care. I'm just happy I don't actually have a terminal cancer.

A Tale From Azaad
Desperate and wandering, a young lord stumbles upon unknown knowledge that can help to overturn his peoples’ destiny. But can he rise to bring the prosperity his people need, or fall before it can ever take shape? AN: I hate writing synopses, so I'd recommend reading a few chapters before making a decision. Also, it's tagged as an isekai but those tropes don't appear. Warnings: I mention them, but there are a few chapters that are really gruesome. Furthermore, the innovations and advancements don't come into play until a lot later, though the framework for it all is built up early. Inspirations: South Asian history, Tales of a Reincarnated Lord and some of the histroical and kingdom-building stories on RR are inspirations for this work. If you enjoy politics, clever strategies, nation-building and technological advancement, then this story might interest you. Schedule: New chapter every Saturday at 3PM PST.

Arching Choices
This is a story I used to do with people in an afterschool club, where I would make up a story, that the user/player would have options to choose from no matter how creative. There will be multiple polls, and I will read comments for the actions of the player, any one can play, because the charater will be gender neutral, but the choices will affect the story, whether it be your companions, and items you acquire. I'm a newbie writer but I just want to have some fun making a story. The chapters will be short so that the viewers can make choices. Longer chapters will be made once this has some good choice options. I thought it would be fun for the readers to develop the character's personality. Critisism welcome, because I have no idea how to write stories. P.S, Once the Character's personality is fleshed out the Synopsis will probably change
