"But--but--I sent it to you." "You sent it to me! Heavens and earth! When?" "Not quite half an hour after you had left the house." "My dear, what superhuman prescience told you that I wanted my watch in exactly thirty minutes? for it was then--or about ten minutes before that, to speak with precision--that I discovered I had left it." "It was no prescience: it was a man." "He couldn't have stolen it, because you sent it to me; but why in the name of the Ganges did you do that? It cost me five hundred dollars, including chain and charms, a stem-winder, and regulated the sun to the fiftieth part of a second." "But didn't you send for it?" "Never!" "By a man with yellowish hair and blue eyes, who said he worked in the office?" "Never: there isn't a yellow hair in the whole office." "O Charlie! then I have lost you your watch," and Lissa caught hold of the sofa. "I give you leave to lose a thousand watches, but not to faint away over it," I said, as I offered her a cup of cold water. "Come, tell me all about it. Somebody has imposed upon you; but maybe we can get a clew to the rascal, and find the watch." "Stop: you sent your card," she said, and took from her pocket my card, slightly soiled. I looked it over: it had evidently been in the gutter. On the back was something in my handwriting. "My dear, if you had only read this!" I said. "Well, what if I had?" said Lissa, restraining her tears with difficulty. "What is it?" I read, --"Tell Bob to bring buttermilk; buy watch-key; mend office-window immediately."

All through high school--irresistible. When their paths cross again after college--still irresistible. This time, though, Ty seems to feel exactly the same way about Celia. Their whirlwind romance deposits them at a street-corner Las Vegas wedding chapel. The next morning they wake to a marriage certificate and a dose of cold reality.

He's a professional bull rider, he lives on the road, and he's long planned to settle down with the hometown girl he's known since childhood. Five and a half years pass.

Book excerpt: At times, man needs to sum up and get down to reality's civility of whether your hands are clean or not, because one day, you have to pay back all you owed. When we are young, nothing matters to us, especially when you look back and see both parents, blessed are those who don't. This made Chief Hunter to think back that it might be stupid or wrong to have sex with a strange creature in a strange environment. Isn't that enough to make him worried about the future, because what goes around comes back around? If the wife hears about his estranged love affair, how would she feel? Would she accept him? However, sometimes we often need to learn how to adapt and wait, for God's time is the best.

Book excerpt: Tessa was prepared for the hurricane. Lindsey was the storm she didn’t see coming. When Tessa Taylor unlocked her husband Ethan’s iPad to discover nude photos from a twenty-six-year-old bombshell named Lindsey, her seemingly perfect life came to a screeching halt. With a hurricane barreling toward Florida and Ethan stuck on a business trip, Tessa finds herself imprisoned in her own home with a choice to make: Does she ride out the storm until she can confront Ethan in person, or does she take matters into her own hands? Increasingly restless and desperate for revenge, Tessa resolves to act. And when she lures Lindsey over a few hours later, there’s no turning back. What ensues is a battle of wills between two well-matched opponents, blinded by love for the same man but driven by demons of their own. Like storm-ravaged Florida, neither woman will be the same when the skies clear. He’s mine. Both wife and mistress would stake their lives on it. But only one of them can be right.

Download or read book What Was Mine written by Helen Klein Ross and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simply told but deeply affecting, in the bestselling tradition of Alice McDermott and Tom Perrotta, this urgent novel unravels the heartrending yet unsentimental tale of a woman who kidnaps a baby in a superstore—and gets away with it for twenty-one years. Lucy Wakefield is a seemingly ordinary woman who does something extraordinary in a desperate moment: she takes a baby girl from a shopping cart and raises her as her own. It’s a secret she manages to keep for over two decades—from her daughter, the babysitter who helped raise her, family, coworkers, and friends. When Lucy’s now-grown daughter Mia discovers the devastating truth of her origins, she is overwhelmed by confusion and anger and determines not to speak again to the mother who raised her. She reaches out to her birth mother for a tearful reunion, and Lucy is forced to flee to China to avoid prosecution. What follows is a ripple effect that alters the lives of many and challenges our understanding of the very meaning of motherhood. Author Helen Klein Ross, whose work has appeared in The New Yorker, weaves a powerful story of upheaval and resilience told from the alternating perspectives of Lucy, Mia, Mia’s birth mother, and others intimately involved in the kidnapping. What Was Mine is a compelling tale of motherhood and loss, of grief and hope, and the life-shattering effects of a single, irrevocable moment.
