Mia's P.O.V
I decided to call Gabriel once again. It's not his fault and I am taking out my anger for Jacob on him. Just thinking of him makes me want to cry.
He is not even at fault as he doesn’t know about my feelings for him. But still he had no right to decide about me about if I had feelings for him on... that night after we had... sex.
I dialled Gabriel's number and waited.
"Oh my god Mia, are you ok?" Gabriel asked.
"Yeah I am now." I said.
"What you mean 'now'"? He asked.
"I mean that I lied before now I have decided that Jacob is not worth it." I said.
"I'm confused." He said.
Then I told him everything from the start till the day I gave my resignation letter. It was so painful to recall all these stuffs. At the end big tears were falling from my eyes. Gabriel did not even interrupt me and waited for me to finish.
"That! How can he? I'm going to call him." He said. He sounded completely angry.
"Gabriel no, it's ok. He doesn't know about my feelings for him and he doesn't have any feelings for me. Do not tell him anything. I'm sure that he is very happy with his fiancée. And the number you have for Jacob does not exist." I said trying to reason with him.
"What do you mean 'do not exist'?" He asked.
"Uh well I already had that number and I tried calling him but it says do not exist and you gave me the same number." I said.
"Mia, will you listen to me if I tell you something?" He asked.
"It depends." I said trying to lift the tension.

"Well I am opening a new company in Mauritius. And I want you to come with me there. Well you won't be alone. You will have Jordan with you. She's also coming to work with me and well... we are sort of a couple now." He said.
"Wow. That's such a good thing. I'm very happy for you guys." I said sincerely. What if my life has been wasted at least Gabriel is getting his happiness.
"Thanks. After you left the company Jordan's contract also finished and she quit her previous job. And Jacob bought the company and I gave it to him and started another business in Mauritius. Everything is ready. The people there are only waiting for my arrival." He said.
"Well I'm happy for you. And I will come to Mauritius with you. I need a change and I have to stay away from Jacob." I said.
"Good. If you said no I would have come to pick you at your house." He said jokingly.
“Well you would be disappointed as I do not live there. I'm at my grandma's house." I said trying not to cry.
"Oh. Well still... Anyway I’m getting another call. I'll email you all the details. Bye." He said.
"Okay. Bye." I said before hanging up.
I hope this decision won't affect my baby's life and mine. It's so wrong. I grew up here and now because of a silly mistake I'm going to have to move away from here from my childhood's place.

A Standard Model of Magic
The world ended, and magic came back. The part our parents didn't expect, was for Science to break on reentry. Twenty years after the apocalypse, with our nations dismantled and hidden continents unearthed, a new generation has grown up in the wreckage of 21st century civilization. For us, the fantastic is at our doorstep and we have had no choice but to fight back. Meanwhile, the laws of nature bend and break at the whims of immortal gods, all of which are now dead and none of which are content to stay that way. But we cannot afford to give up. We are the stewards of a rewritten century, in which a little luck and a whole lot of magic might make anything possible – maybe even a world better than the one we lost. A Standard Model of Magic is a complete overhaul of my old story A Storm in the Fall. I'm afraid I was unhappy with the LitRPG elements, which I don't mind reading, but I apparently loath writing. Sorry. Once I'd made the choice to decouple the story from the OF that inspired it and reconfigure the magic system to my satisfaction, little of the original plotline survived. I will be salvaging most of my original characters, and I will keep some elements which are endemic to the genre, but that is all. I don't have an update schedule which I can commit to yet, but I will try to maintain a weekly pace.(This is currently RoyalRoad exclusive, since I'm lazy. If you find it posted elsewhere, it wasn't me and it wasn't with permission) If you're interested, I've set up a discord.
8 198Sarsaparilla's Scary Super Power. Completed
Sarsaparilla is an older teenage girl living on Mars. And, like many other young people around her, she has a super power. Or, rather, she is supposed to have a super power. Only she has never been able to activate it, she doesn’t even know what her super power is. This annoys her, tremendously. But she hides this behind a really sweet smile. Adalace is another teenage girl, also on Mars. She knows what her own super power is, and it is quite a good one. She is also really cute… so long has she keeps her feelings under control and doesn’t let out anything from her dark past. Teylon is a man, currently living on Earth. He likes to think of himself as still young, even if he is over fifty. He’s a bit smug about his successful career and is thinking of retiring… until a sadly unfortunate event leads him to the conclusion that he had better immigrate to Mars. Immediately. Apparently, meeting one’s own Angel of Death tends to cause people to make profound changes to their lives… Mars society had better brace itself, because once these three people, plus another three also not so quite stable individuals, collide with each other, the resulting explosion is not going to leave anyone on Mars unaffected. This is another Esmeralda, the Angel of Death, story. It follows on from my previous two such stories, but it is in no way dependent on the previous stories. They can be read in any order. It is fully written and proof read (using Word for Windows, no real editor touched this transcript) and comes to about 247,000 words (about 895 Royal Road pages). It is organized into 50 chapters and I will be publishing them roughly one per day. In my writing, there are multiple characters and multiple points of view. Each change in a point of view is introduced by a header, giving the viewpoint character’s name first, and possibly a title. Inside a Point of View section, dialog in italics represents the Point of View character’s thoughts, while dialog between quotes represent normal spoken dialog. This story is very much inspired by the anime A Certain Scientific Railgun. However I have only taken some elements from the anime, and changed everything I took to make my own story, and so it does not count as fanfiction. Yeah, I know, the book cover page isn’t very good. It’s the best I could do, by tracing over a stock image. The two ladies shown are supposed to be Adalace and Sarsaparilla. Ideally I would have liked there to be two images of this pair, one where they are smiling sweetly and looking cute, and one where they are looking really angry and dangerous. But that totally exceeds my graphics abilities. You will just have to imagine it.
8 116Maniac
Lebowski is a bit of an eccentric person. He has no real family and no real friends. Instead, he has his cars, his Hawaiian shirts, and - most importantly - his guns. So, when the apocalypse arrives and everyone panics, no one's happier than Lebowski. Afterall, it sounds like a proper vacation, and a vacation is what he desperately needs.
8 203Swords and a Shortage of Sorcery
In a land where magic is scarce, mythical monsters and sorcerers are a rare sight. They command power feared throughout the land. Only someone with a genius intellect, magical power, or divine heritage could stand a chance of defeating them in single combat. Luckily for him, Derik Johnson possesses none of those qualities. A humble watchman pressed into service after being teleported from his evening commute; he is burdened with terrible luck and ends up fighting said creatures. Derik will have to use his wits, allies, and equipment wisely to survive. But if all else fails. He can always use his own legs—To hotfoot it out of there!
8 227The Forerunner's Odyssey
The greatest tragedies are not the ones with the most unfortunate and unhappy endings, but rather the ones without an ending at all. So when Suran Ibrahim scaled the fresh crater, it was not out of exuberance for surviving his ordeal, nor was it out of desire to live in the brave, new world he found himself in. He simply longed for an ending to his odyssey. Mature 18+ Mostly for violence, some language, but anything else may show up eventually. I place the tag just so that I'm not restricted. I'm rewriting this to fix a host of issues. I'll try to update my progress in the blurb - I most likely wont post the revisions until I'm done for all chapters. Till then, c'ya later fam. Maybe. Character rework: 100% Planing: 80% Rewrite: 5/35 Editing: 5/35
