Gloria X Marnie Novels & Stories

Ara smiled but didn’t dig further. “He gifted her this before moving to another city with his family,” Hannah added further. The unmistakable clicks of heels echoed in the air just then, everyone turned to see Gloria approaching, except for one person. Standing at 5’9”, Clad in crop top and mini-skirt, Gloria was nothing short of a Goddess just like Ginger. “Good Morning, Mrs. Serrano,” Gloria chirped, taking off her shades and revealing her stunning amber eyes. “Good Morning, Gloria. Come, have breakfast with us,” Ara invited Gloria with just as much warmth as she had invited Sera.

The much taller male version of Bren stepped forward and flashed me an equally adorable, dimple laced grin and shook my hand heartily. Bren continued, seemingly the spokesperson of their group, and introduced me to her friend, Gloria, who had auburn hair that was a mix of wild curls and waves and hazel eyes. She also had a bit of freckles adorning her nose and cheeks, but they seemed to work for her, making her look like the girl next door type. She was tiny and dressed in bright colors that were just as wild as her hair. I reached my hand out to shake her hand, but she shocked me when she leaped forward and threw her arms around me in a huge hug.

The woman was called Marnie, the eldest daughter in the Castro family, infamous for her biting remarks. Thea's mood dropped. She never thought she would bump into that annoying woman there. Darryl was frowning too. 'D*mn it, what is Marnie doing here?' She was there for his wedding too, and there was no way he would forget what she said. He secretly sized her up and noticed that the way she dressed had become even sexier than a month before. Her attire was a wine-red long gown that showed off her sexy collarbone and a deep side-slit that showed off her snow-white thigh.

The pearls that were stitched on its surface seemed to wink at me. "There is no need to talk about it. Zedd already apologized and made up for it." I turned away from the mirror. "But I can't stop thanking you for your help that time." "Oh, please." Gloria rolled her eyes and applied maroon lipstick to her lips. She wore a mahogany off-shoulder and maxi long skirt overlaid with a black bustier.

Without knowing and so obviously oblivious to her effect she had grown an audience from more then a few men. I clenched my teeth at the ogling freshmen that didn’t hide his arousal as he eyed her from the bar. I closed my eyes, taking in a deep breath to compose myself. I wasn’t one to get worked up for any woman but it seems this woman had wriggled her way into my mind more than id like to admit. Marcel hadn’t told me she would be accompanying him tonight but soon as I had seen her enter through the front door with Marcel she caught my breath. That white dress she had worn made her stick out like red clothe to a bull.

I knew how much he wanted me to be with Ariel, and the last thing I ever wanted was to disappoint him. Manny's father always knew how to put me at ease, he had the personality that could make anyone warm up to him instantly. I looked around the room and locked eyes with Ariel, Her eyes were on fire with anger, I'm sure if looks could kill I could be under the ground by now. "Excuse me everyone, this lovely lady is Marianna, she works at our firm" Mr. Jennings introduced me "What is she doing her?" Ariel hissed

I turned my head away and refused to look at her. I let go of ten years of love in a single day. Marriages built on benefit never lasted. Jaime stared at me with confusion. “What are you angry about? You agreed to the race yourself, and you were the one who fell off the cliff. I even gave you the drugs, and you’re still making a fuss.” A faint, sarcastic smile tugged at my lips. “Isn’t it possible that Derek drove me off the cliff? Oh right, you trust Derek more than me.”

I turned to the curious mad dog. "If it makes you feel any better, she's an omega wolf. “A!!! ". Mad dog let out a sarcastic laugh. I halted in my stride and turned to him. "Did you just laugh? “No, sorry." He apologized quickly as he struggled to keep a straight face. My cold gaze never left him. I didn't care about who loved Gwen and who she loved. I was done leaving her to half-baked men. Hastening my stride, I made my way to the party. Everyone was waiting.

Gloria froze the moment she saw the woman clearly She wasn’t just anyone It was Maddy Grace, the hottest rising star, the woman plastered across billboards and movie posters, the kind of beauty that turned heads without trying “Hello, are you the new maid?” Maddy asked casually, shifting Lukas’s weight against her shoulder. Gloria didn’t respond For a few seconds, she couldn’t The scene in front of her blurred with something else, something buried deep in her memory. The scene before her was painfully and disgustingly familiar.

We all glanced away from each other, uncomfortable. “I’ll go.” Marni’s voice felt like it echoed around the small office. There was a beat of stunned silence, then Xavier exploded. “Absolutely not! Are you crazy? Do you know what they do to females over there?” Marni flinched back at his vehemence then swallowed heavily. She stood her ground, meeting Xavier’s gaze head on. “I’m tired of being scared all the time. I want to be brave like Lyra is. This is a way I can help. Sometimes I’m sick of gathering plants all the time.” Tears spilled from the corners of her eyes, her small body trembling.
