Cleo Lazuli Mga Nobela at Kwento

A couple of thick scents I immediately recognize to be sandalwood and roses envelope the entire room. Just a few steps away from the bathing chamber, there is a vanity table and two chairs all made from lapis lazuli. I am very familiar with that deep blue color and markings because back in Velmira, lapis lazuli is one of our most abundant natural resources that we mine and use in building so many things in the palace and for business export. The vanity table contains varieties of bottles and brushes that I don't bother counting them. Everything in this room is opulent. Indulgent and yet makes me feel at home. Someone curated everything in this room with care as if trying to say: ‘You may not

He could say she looked up 80% similar to Lilly's. Her posture was firm neither faltering as she gazed at them. Mr Clement went on to Introduce them. "Mr Cesar, I would like to introduce you to miss Leela Mendez. The sole designer of BLUE DIAMOND" he said for the group of people that surrounded them to hang a huge smile to their lips an amazed impression to their faces but yet there wasn't a change to his facial expression making all those present to think perhaps he had been charmed by her beauty.

"Thank you, Aunt Cleo. This means a lot to me." The pendant Aunt Cleo gave Aqua was nothing short of mesmerizing. Crafted from sterling silver, the pendant was shaped like a delicate crescent moon, symbolizing the mysterious and potent nature of Aqua's powers. At the center of the crescent nestled a large, oval-cut gemstone that was uniquely clear, like a drop of captured morning dew. The clarity of the stone made it particularly special, as it reflected Aqua's emotional state, changing color with her mood. Intricate filigree work adorned the crescent moon, with tiny symbols and runes etched into the silver, each representing protection and strength. The craftsmanship was exquisite, making i

But clearly I’d failed her. “He promised, Cyan. He promised that if I did the things he asked he wouldn’t do them to you. I didn’t know. I didn’t think you could stop him,” Lily whimpered. My entire body felt heavy, weighed down by her proclamation. I pulled her tighter to me, my heart shattering at her words. Celeste never let me show the full extent of my powers in public. Everyone thought I still needed to hone them. None of the clan, Lily included, were privy to what I could do. All she’d seen were the times that she’d been called in to privately help me recover from whatever torment Celeste had decided to inflict upon me for failing to meet her standards. It made sense that she thought

"The rumor concerning CRUZ company...you didn't hear it?" "CRUZ company? I didn't hear about that, what was it about?" "CRUZ company was accused of producing fake designs and forging other companies' designs of paintings. It was all over the news, Clara." There was a hint of shock and surprise in Ella's voice.

Before I could ask what on earth was going on, Cleo emerged from the bathroom with her robe wrapped around her and her hair in a towel just like Emma and I. “Whoa, triplets!” The man who Cleo referred to as Chaz spoke and Cleo laughed easily with him, putting me slightly at ease. “Girls, Chaz is our head stylist who usually works out of the salon downstairs. I called in a favor when Jade told me she wanted to learn how to do hair and makeup and I decided who better to teach you how to take care of your hair than him and his team?! Liz and Ashley have been working with Chaz for years and I’m telling you, my hair would be nothing without these 3.” Cleo joked.

Caroline, a she-wolf who has been considered a monster since she was a child, can she break the tragedy spell and find her MATE?

CELESTE The afternoon sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows across the pavement. I stepped out of the boutique with three shopping bags hanging from my arms. The silk scarves inside were for my mother. The leather journal was for Lily, who had started writing again. The small velvet box contained a pair of sapphire earrings I had bought for myself, because Lazarus had looked at me that morning and said, "Buy something that makes you happy. Not for me. For you."

My jewelry is laid out in a precise spiral, each piece angled deliberately, obsidian ring, velvet choker, silver cuff, onyx pin, ending with a single silver bracelet, upon closer inspection I see that is a serpent eating its own tail, the symbol of the Velvet Coil, placed dead center. Lazriel used to do this before negotiations. He called it setting the stage. He once told me, if you see the coil, love, it means I’m still in control of something. My throat tightens. He’s alive. And he wants me to know he’s not breaking.

"For Cleo. For Cleo's mate." #
