Novel & Cerita Clove Isabelle Fuhrman

I said quietly. “JUST?” Isabella turned to me as if I’d personally insulted her. “You stayed up all night making this and you’re calling it just a submission piece?” I shrugged awkwardly. “What’s going on?” Clara’s voice cut through the tension as she stepped inside. Her eyes scanned the room before landing on the mannequin. She paused. Slowly, she walked closer. I watched her carefully, trying to read her expression, but her face revealed nothing. She stopped directly in front of the dress. Several long seconds passed, then she gently lifted one of the ivory panels, revealing the deep purple silk beneath.

Standing beside her was Madame Isabelle. She looked twenty years younger. Elegant. Confident. Not dressed as a librarian. She wore a formal navy-blue suit with a silver swallow brooch pinned to her collar. Evelyn frowned. "She wasn't a librarian." Captain Moreau nodded. "No." "At least not originally." The officer flipped to another document. "We identified her full name." He read aloud. "Professor Isabelle Durand." Daniel blinked. "Professor?" The officer nodded. "Former historian specializing in corporate archives and legal documentation."

… Isabelle didn't contact me again over the next few days, but she kept updating her social media. Most of her posts were about daily rehearsals, the low-fat meals she ate to stay in shape, and little snippets of her daily life. It was as if she were deliberately posting them for me to see. So I did exactly what she wanted and liked all her posts. At the same time, I kept myself busy. I organized the materials I had accumulated over the years and donated the extra things in the house. The roses I had cultivated in the greenhouse were in full bloom. I cut every single one of them, arranged them into two bouquets, and knocked on Professor White's office door.

Isla wasn’t there to be admired. She was watching silently. And Claire Blackwell was in the room. She had arrived late, wrapped in a pearl-white coat, her signature smile curving like a blade. As if she hadn’t killed a woman. As if she hadn’t erased a child from a mother’s life. As if she hadn't committed thousands of sins. Isla’s fingers tightened around her champagne flute. “She’s not even trying to hide her cruelty anymore, look at her cruel smile” Leo said beside her.

Isabella's point of view. Cal McClain was a beautiful woman. I always admired her for her hard work, her diligence, her attitude with dealing with Cameron and her brother with more patience than most mothers. And her style of dressing could almost rival Annabelle Newman. Currently dressed in a blue sleeveless floor length gown, her hair curled up in ringlets. She wore no mask though. And now, I admired the fact that she could keep this whole auctioning stuff a secret from Cameron for such a long time.

She would help him after everything? Leah nodded as if she could hear his thoughts. — — — Jeremy was still being troubled about Clara or Claudia or whoever she was. She was an infiltrator and she was unto him. He ran a reverse image search on her LinkedIn profile picture. It took a while, but eventually something pinged. It was an archived blog post from five years ago, featuring a woman who looked remarkably like Clara, but under a different name: Isabelle Rains. The fuck! Clara Dane.

There in black and white I found her new name: Elise Carrington, founder and CEO of La Louve fragrances. I was almost positive the woman I saw was, in fact, my wife, but I couldn’t be sure until this moment. Now it’s painfully obvious my chosen mate did not die after all, but she certainly hasn’t stayed the same. This Jane is so unlike the woman I knew I can scarcely believe it. She’s every bit as beautiful, but infinitely more confident and powerful. She smells like an alpha, and she’s charming even as she argues with me. The stubborn thing even threatened me, which I have to admit I found nothing short of delightful.

Again, that familiarity made her blush with pleasure. She smiled and put on Shawn's white shirt. For a woman, not very tall, like her, it looked like a short dress. The sleeves were a bit long, but she managed to fix them perfectly. Shawn's scent was still impregnated in the fabric. Isabelle closed her eyes and took it all in. Her senses were hit by the notes of that heavenly scent: grapefruit and musk. ‘Wonderful,’ she thought, looking at herself in the mirror, ‘this is the only outfit I could wear this evening.’

He told her and went to open the door. Clara followed him. “Morning Mr. Bloom.” The housemaid greeted him when he opened the door. “Morning Mrs. Clover.” He said and moved aside to let her in. “Oh, you have a guest.” Mrs. Clover said stopping in her tracks and looked at Clara. “She’s not a guest. She’s the future wife. Clara Rose. Clara this is my housekeeper Isabel Clover.” He introduced them. She blushed as he introduced her as his future wife. “Hello, Ms. Rose. It’s nice to meet you.” Isabel greeted her with a smile.

She wasn't going to trip and fall before sending that damn clone six feet down in honor of her loved ones. She fastened her seatbelt and looked down at the tablet in the passenger seat. Isabelle unlocked the screen and selected the day's top search. It took her five minutes to watch the live video, and she smashed her tablet with a small hammer in her car. That damn clone was busy making her wedding vows while she was busy burying her family! She was going to trample her, but she knew she needed time and a plan. She was going to bring her down, even if it meant causing herself harm. Isabelle drove away with a new conviction and a smile on her face.
