I love you but I can't work with you

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I mean.. so he loved me this entire time? What? I slowly turned around and found my voice.
"So you fired me to tell me you love me?"
He ran his fingers through his hair, which was to show he was nervous.
"Actually, you are fired from here because it is against the company's policy for us to be together, but you start work on Monday in another firm, which I hooked you up with. I had to make the whole thing believable. I'm sorry." He looked down on me and those eyes. Those eyes.

Searching the World Over

"I don't know, Gregory. I've jumped out of planes, and visited the far corners of the Earth. I've sampled the finest cuisine, as well as the most exotic. Nothing has compared to the last day of my father's life. Flying through the air on a simple playground swing, I felt on top of the world. Now I'm standing on top of the world, and there's no thrill. No delight at being here."

His siren

I woke up reincarnated into a human's body, a weak human. Her body could not contain my divine powers, so her body grew weaker with each passing day. I woke up in this body with memories of his majesty and the dragon pendant he gave me. My name was Tatar instead of my original name, Liasha. I was identified as a cursed being. I didn't blame them because I was cursed; if only I had never fallen for the dragon king, maybe he would have been alive. I met Valdora in a full blood moon ritual; every blood moon, we sirens came out to mate and eat, and our male sirens were extinct, because they never stayed alive after a mating ritual.

Protecting yourself from yourself
Those were very hard days, where my dear cousin felt fear, pain, confusion but with the doctor's help she was seeing the sunlight again after so much darkness. She was always a normal girl, extroverted and very sure of herself but an instant, a situation, a trauma changed her completely, to the point that she had to fight with her darkest thoughts to find herself and see her life illuminated again after that storm.

“¿Esos son bailaores de flamenco?” Dije volteándome hacia Emma.
"Oh, ¿lo son?" dijo mirando al otro lado de la habitación. "Qué agradable sorpresa."
“¿No decía nada al respecto en la web cuando hiciste la reserva?”
"Nada en absoluto."
"Qué curioso", dijo. Yo dije.
"Bastante."
Un hombre tiene que saber cuándo le han hecho jaque mate y simplemente disfrutar de la paliza.

Where Did The Light Come From?
Chills ran down my spine. I hurriedly pulled the blanket, covered my siblings beside me, and hid under it.
A few moments after recovery, I peeked while still under the blanket. When I lifted the covers, the man was still there. And he was staring at me with somber eyes. He was wearing white long sleeves and a pair of black pants. He looked like my father. However, something on his face made me realize he was someone else.
He had two dark swollen eye bags!
