Emily Elizabeth Clifford Book Novels & Stories

“Then you’ll understand why this is important.” By the time we left the library, Claire was hanging on my every word. I led her across campus, weaving the story carefully. Not the whole truth, never the whole truth — but enough to light a fire in her eager little heart. “That girl, Elizabeth,” I said, my voice dripping with disdain as I glanced out at the bustling campus, the autumn leaves swirling in the cool air. “She’s been… getting far too close to Professor Sebastian.” Claire’s eyes widened, a gasp slipping from her lips like a whispered secret. “No way. Really?”

"You haven't seen the pack forum posts? They were spotted having lunch at The Crescent yesterday. Everyone's saying he's interested in an alliance with the Redcliff Pack." Clara Redcliff. The beautiful daughter of the Redcliff Pack's Beta. I'd met her once at a formal pack gathering and remembered her perfectly styled hair and calculatingly sweet smile. "It's probably just business," I said, not believing my own words. "Business, my ass," Emma snorted. "The woman has been after Sylvan since before your mate-marking. And now Elizabeth is helping pave the way!" I closed my eyes, feeling sick. "Emma..."

“You have always chosen her over me. So, why was she still bent on hurting me?” Clyde's expression contorted with a mix of pain and regret. “Emily… she fell under Clive's spell. He manipulated her and twisted her loyalty to his advantage. She became his willing accomplice, blinded by his promises of power and control.” He hesitated to continue. After a pause, he took a deep breath and continued talking. “Emma, I have always chosen you over Emily. But, I didn't want to appear weak before all, so I put up a facade.”

She titled it What the Silence Said. Claire read it in two days. “It’s fiction,” she said. “But I felt like I was learning your heart all over again.” “Do you think people will like it?” Emma asked. Claire leaned in. “It doesn’t matter. You told the truth. That’s why they’ll love it.” One evening, as twilight stretched over the hills, Emma, Jake, and Lila sat watching deer wander the edges of the orchard. “Are you writing another book?” Lila asked.

My body wasn’t the same as it once was, and at my age, every ache felt weightier. As I sipped the tea, my thoughts drifted back to my life. The Clawford estate, where I raised Eleanor, held so many secrets in its old walls—codes, plans, the fight against Gregor’s empire. Eleanor carried that fight forward, fierce and brave, until she was gone. Now Valenticia took it up, running the family business with a strength that made me proud. She was so much like her mother, sharp and determined, but with a softer heart that worried about me too much.

She came across the room and stood at the side of the bed, looking down at the grieved little face on the pillow--a face that in the dim, rainy twilight, with its tear-stains and black shadowed eyes, looked strangely mature and chiselled. Elizabeth Murray was still austere and cold. Her voice sounded stern; but she said an amazing thing: "Emily, I had no right to read your letters. I admit I was wrong. Will you forgive me?" "Oh!" The word was almost a cry. Aunt Elizabeth had at last discerned the way to conquer Emily. The latter lifted herself up, flung her arms about Aunt Elizabeth, and said chokingly:

"That's a really good sign." "I think so too." --- Later that afternoon, Emily headed to the Eleanor Foundation. Not as an employee. Just as a volunteer. Claire looked up from the reception desk. "You're here early." "I needed something to do." Claire smiled knowingly. "Waiting?" Emily laughed. "Is it that obvious?" "A little." --- Upstairs, Alicia was reviewing reports. She looked up as Emily entered. "Morning." "Morning." Alicia studied her for a moment. "You've spoken to him already."

I closed the book that I'm reading and closed my eyes intently. When she comes back, she keeps on asking me what’s the problem. I'm so sorry Anna... I cannot tell you. I cannot tell you that me and Clifford know each other.. That Clifford and I had a one-night stand…

He thought inwardly, still he spoke politely. "May I know what it is Mrs Crawford?" "Please I will pay you back handsomely in the future, can you simply forge the results and not disclose to my husband that I'm pregnant?" "Hmm," Doctor Clifford was expressionless, forging results was against his work ethics. "Can you please not tell him about it?" She was literally at his mercy pleading. After a minute of consideration, doctor Clifford lifted his face. "I…" "Don't tell me what!?!" Leonard stormed in

The principal looked at her, "Natalie, this isn’t the first time you’ve caused trouble." Then he looked at me, "What about you, Clara?" "I’m fine. My father traveled to Norway," I said coldly. The principal sighed helplessly, "I’ll call your home. We need to discuss this with a guardian." He called. Only the witch, Emilia, answered. I imagined she was furious. A man and a woman in fine clothes arrived. She rushed to her daughter, "Oh my God, my beautiful girl!" She hugged her warmly. My heart ached. I missed my mother.
