Gwen And Courtney Novels & Stories

“It's been a decade. I barely recognize you. How have you been?” “I'm good.” “Well, hubby and Mr. Wright are business partners, I never thought this party would bring us together again. It's good to see you again, Gwen. I've been seeing you on live TV and I'm looking forward to another day to work with you again.” “Me too.” “Mrs. Wainwright, there's a call for you and it's urgent.” A lady spoke from behind. “Just a second.” She opened her purse and handed Gwendolyn her business card. “See you around.” Then she left with the lady.

She smiles—a small, hesitant thing—and waves. But inside the apartment, suspicion is starting to coil like a spring. Gwen watches them walk toward the entrance, her mind racing. She tells herself over and over: Selene has a guy she’s seeing. She knows I’ve had a crush on CK since forever. She’s my best friend. She wouldn't hurt me like that. She’d tell me. They walk inside the apartment together, the air in the hallway feeling suddenly thin. Gwen meets them at the door, her arms open, her smile a bit too bright.

My voice dances not only in amusement but in pure curiosity. “What’s between you and your husband’s twin brother? Was it the reason you were both exiled here in Roadster City?” Gwen’s eyes grew wide as if she could not believe my assumptions. And much as I would like to go easy on her, I can’t. My heart was racing in excitement. Gwen sighed heavily. The weight of its sound was like a dousing of water. I realized that Gwen was not like any other girl. Those who flaunt who they know. She was a private person and kept things mostly to herself.

Like Theo, I've also known Gwen since childhood. Her mother is 'the' Allesandra Evellon, a world renowned Fashion Designer and my mother is one of her clients and biggest fans. We were in the same daycare, and for a while our family thought about merging our clans. That fizzled out around the time we got to grade school and she's now engaged, though not formally announced yet, with the heir of SLSF Insurance Company Inc. We didn't like each other very much back then so I didn't really care. And she was perfectly happy that it didn't work out for us because she's already completely smitten with Royce. We never exchanged much words apart from polite greetings and nods on family and company eve

"Gwene, how are you doing in all honesty?" Gwen found a seat for herself and sat down on one of the chairs that was available. She massaged her eyes, shook her head, and propped her chin on her folded palms while placing her elbows on the table. She did this while leaning forward at the table. "Not good. I have no desire to be at this particular spot. I have no interest in pursuing a conjugal partnership with Noah at this time. The question that was raised was, "Is it really that vampire?" After turning off the sink's water supply, Greta walked over to the chair that was directly across from Gwen and sat down. "Is it true that you are completely and utterly head over heels in love with him?"

I took a deep breath, trying to slow my heart. And like always, in moments where I was about to spiral, my mind ran somewhere safer. To the people I loved. The past year played back in my head like a highlight reel. Gwen and Nick had renewed their vows a few weeks ago with a celebration big enough to stop Montelira in its tracks. Not that Montelira was exactly a city that never slept, but still… it stopped. In the best way. Everyone showed up. Everyone celebrated. Everyone watched Gwen receive, the way she deserved, everything life had once tried to deny her.

She is speaking to two men, and they keep glancing at me. “Naya, you are in time.” Gwen walks towards me with them. “Yes, I couldn't sleep last night.” I admit. “Well, this is Kent and Ruben. They are Jason's betas, and they are going to rule the new Moonclaw by my side.” She says with a smile. I pretend not to bothered by this, so I just stretch my hand to shake them. “A pleasure to meet you both.” “Learnt that you are a widow now.” Kent stares at me flirtatiously. “In case you need any comforting or someone to talk to, I will make sure to leave my number with you.”

Well, except for the gaze of the man burning holes through my head, I was fine. "I'm Damon. You caught my attention since the beginning of the show but I did not want to disturb you so I waited till the end of the show to approach you." I breathed out as if he was nervous to talk to me. Looking at him now, he had great looks. He was pretty handsome and he was taller than I am. Very well. But not as tall as…. Stop that right now, it thought. "Oh….. I… I'm not very good at this. My name is Gwen. I'm a fashion enthusiast that luckily got an invite to come to a great show like this one." I said to him and he laughed. He had a nice smile.

Since when did she get this good at provoking people? Gwen’s hands tightened into fists, her face covered with furious tears. When she saw me smiling at Vannessa, she was so jealous that she could not say a single word. Other onlookers hurriedly tried to smooth things over. “This is Mr. Greene and Miss Wright’s engagement party! What’s a nobody like you doing here? Shoo, get lost!” “Security! Get this madwoman out of here!” The guards grabbed Gwen’s arms and tried to drag her out, but she kept struggling, looking at me pleadingly.

Gwen is being put with the top medical team, even the top witches and feys; anyone that can help but nothing works. Nothing slows the poison from spreading. Nothing at all. Finn, my sister and I try all we can but still nothing. We all know what’s going to happen and there’s no way to escape it. Gwen’s time is ticking like a clock and she knows it, so she calls in every person that she has ever known. Everyone that she cares about and she says her goodbyes.
