Carolyn Marie Reads Novels & Stories

A year later, Eloise completed her journey around the world. High heels clicked against the floor as long, slender legs moved forward. Her tailored skirt suit swayed elegantly with each step, and every gaze around the conference table followed her. Her assistant pulled out a chair, and she took a seat and greeted everyone. "It's been a while, gentlemen." She extended her hand with poise as she made a formal introduction to the shareholders. "This is Ms. Marie Carter, chief director of the KMN Research Institute in Valoria.

I inwardly seethed as I watched Maria Let out a laugh at Carlos praising Aimee's paella dish with exaggeration. I clenched my jaw. It was sickening to even watch as I refilled my glass. "Lorenzo tells me you saved Maria's life, may I ask for the story?" Aimee asked, placing a whisky refill to his glass. Carlos looked to Maria Asif asking her for permission to talk. " I-i" Maria stuttered, a look of panic taking over her face. "I mean you don't have to, it's just I'd like to know what happened to her whilst she was away" she added.

“Where are the other maids?” “They're.. they're working, sir. Anna is in the watering the flowers. Caroline is arranging the books in the library and Charlotte has gone to the mall to get some items.” Maria said, her voice soft and respectful, though a slight tremble betrayed her composure. Ethan's scrutiny made her uncomfortable, and she fidgeted with the hem of her apron, smoothing out imaginary wrinkles. Ethan tore his gaze from her and picked up his table knife, the edges glinting in the light as he began to eat. He cut the steak and put it into his mouth. Ethan nodded as the flavors danced on his palate, rich and satisfying, but his attention remained on Maria.

Not until he was strong enough to protect her from everything. Lost in thought, Carlo crushed his cigarette into the ashtray, the frustration of his inner turmoil gnawing at him. He reached for another cigarette but found the box empty. Muttering a curse under his breath, he called Maria, the maid, to bring him a new pack. Maria arrived quickly with a fresh pack of cigarettes and, in her hands, the morning newspaper. “Sir, today’s paper just came in. Would you like to have a look?” Carlo, uninterested, waved her off. “No, just leave the cigarettes. You can go.”

It had to be from Davis too but then when did Marie and Davis meet? "This is still so strange." Cara said to me. "So mysterious, is this going to have an end?" I asked her. "Hopefully it is going to have." Cara replied me. "A... Alpha Kayden." Marie stuttered. "I...I am sorry I gave in to his advances so quickly. I.... " "I do not care who you actually give in to." Kayden cut her off and just watched on. "Did you take this picture." his voice was compelling, he pointed his phone out to her.

It rings twice before someone speak. "This is James Carter speaking." "Hi, Mr. Carter. My name is Marie, Leo's—well, Leo's ex-wife." My voice is low, but I continue . "I actually wants to as you something” There's a long pause on the other end, and I worry he might hang up, but then I hear him sigh. "Marie…yes, I remember you. What do you want to know?" I feel my heart racing again. "It's about Leo and Nolan. There's something I'm not understanding, and I think you know more than anyone else could."

"CEO Craig is not here yet. I can notify you as soon as he checks in, but he made no mention of any meetings outside the workplace.” Cordelia responds, "Thank you," and hangs up. She puts the phone down and presses a small line with her lips. Although Alan's absence isn't unusual, it feels noteworthy today. She opens a spreadsheet on her computer and stares at the numbers, trying to focus on her work, but they are blurry and refuse to make sense. Her mind keeps returning to Alan—and Marie. Marie. She feels a chill just from the name. Cordelia believes she has to be careful if Marie is engaged in whatever is going on.

Locked in my office, I couldn't stop looking at the photos of us getting married. Carol knocked on the door and entered. When she reached my desk, she quietly said, "Ms. Chloe, Melvern is requesting a meeting."

She decides to read one of them aloud as there’s plenty of time and nothing else to do. Mariah starts reading “Dance of thieves” to Mr. Denis and she enjoys it herself as well. It’s a book about war for power among kingdoms and about fierce women. Mariah likes the book and doesn’t even realize that she’s been reading it for hours, when suddenly she feels an itchy feeling in her throat. So she puts down the book, drinks some water, injects some medicines and them checks up on the vitals. Mariah sits down and stares at the lifeless figure in front of her.

Carson POV I took Marly’s hand in mine and led her back to the woman claiming to be Cara. We walked into the room, with Cara asking for me. She stopped asking when she saw me. Her face lit up until she saw me holding Marly’s hand. “What is this?” she whispered. “Who are you?” I countered.
