Happy Birthday Mari Novels & Stories

“You don’t remember. But your soul does.” “What—” He steps closer. Too close. I feel his breath on my skin. Then he whispers the one thing I never expected to hear again today. “Luna… please marry me.” My jaw drops. “What is wrong with everyone today?!” “It’s not today,” he says softly. “It’s destiny.” “I just met you!” “You were always meant to be mine.” “Nope.” I step back. “Goodbye.” I turn to leave, but he catches my wrist—gentle, yet firm.

I nodded, offering him a small smile. Marie pulled back, her hands still resting lightly on my arms as she looked at me. Her eyes flickered over my face, as if memorizing it. Then her expression brightened. “Happy birthday, Aurelia.” The words landed softly, but they lingered. Gareth echoed it with a nod. “Happy birthday.” “Thank you,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. Marie squeezed my hands once more before finally letting go. The door opened, letting in a brief rush of cool air from the hallway, and then they were gone, their footsteps fading until the apartment fell into silence again.

“I know you are pregnant and need rest, but I'd love it if you were there when I cut the cake.” “After that, I'll head back inside.” “No problem.” Silence settled for a moment then I spoke. “I love you, Mariam. I wish I could do more than this for your birthday, and I promise that when I become financially stable, I'll call for a grand party on your birthday because you are the best, and there has been no one like you even up till now. Happy birthday, my beautiful princess,” I celebrated her once more. “Aw, you are so sweet. You are the best thing that happened to me and I love you too,” she leaned closer to me and kissed me because I was sitting and she was standing.

Papà called out, his words imbued with warmth and well wishes. Finally, the day I had eagerly anticipated had arrived—the grand ball and my very own birthday. A perpetual smile appeared on my face, undeterred even by Vienna’s constant grumbling. I cheerfully tended to my duties and dutifully followed her instructions. Today was simply the epitome of perfection, a day that no one could possibly spoil. As I stood beside Maria, washing the dishes, her voice reached me in a soft whisper. “Happy birthday, Wolfie.” I turned to her with gratitude shining in my eyes. “Thank you, Maria.”

Marcella brought her left hand to cover her mouth as she couldn't help but smile at the unexpected gesture from her dear friend. "Hey, birthday girl! Surprise!" Gina's voice echoed from the phone, filling the room with her infectious energy. "I hope this message finds you well and brings a smile to your face. I know it's been a tough time for you, but I couldn't let your special day go unnoticed. Happy birthday, Marcella!" She sang the birthday song in a cheerful but off-key tone making Marcella laugh out loud even as tears welled up in her eyes. Lucas was beside her and had pulled her into a side hug as they kept on watching the video.

The woman turns to me and I fake a smile. "Where is he anyway?" "He went to the office. That boy works even on his birthdays"Maria shakes her head and I quickly sit up. His birthday? I grab my phone and gasp when I see the date."He never celebrates them anyway" she sighs and I stop her when she is about to leave the room. I have a brilliant idea. Oh fucking goodness! it's Vin's birthday and I didn't know. Maria said Vin has never celebrated his birthday. This will be the perfect way of expressing my gratitude to him. I want Vin to know that I am very sorry for hurting him and I love him from deep down my soul.

All because of his awesome words and aura. "In my eyes, Eve. You are exactly how you were when I met you for the first time-stunning. I am glad we met. I'm glad we got married. Now and then someone comes into your life and they turn it upside down in a good way. You are that someone for me! To my beautiful wife, I hope this year brings you as much joy and happiness that you have brought and continue to bring into my life. We are still young lovers, I know, but I see forever with you. Happy 20th birthday, darling. Cheers!" "Cheers!!" others replied with a glass of sparkling wine at hand.

He smiled "Happybirthdayyyy." It's Jenny and Paul."Happybirthdayyyyy Eva, we love you we love you. In 2 weeks you're going to married like us." She hugged Paul."She's so hype." Paul added."Hey." He pouted."I'll tell you a secret after you watch this video okay? Call me after that." She winked

She brushed her cool fingers over my closed eyes and said softly, "It's fine. I know you're in a tough spot. "Let's get divorced. Our marriage was a mistake from the start. Thank you for letting me know what a real home feels like." I sniffled. "I want some soup tomorrow. Could you make some for me?" I held her hand. "Relax. Henderson Corporation isn't as vulnerable as you think." Megan froze for a moment before nodding. I slid her gift over to her. She opened the box and saw an exquisite money tree. She brushed her fingers over the plant, her eyes filled with joy.

I wanted to tell her. That she’d always been home, not just a person. That the boxes didn’t matter. That if she needed, I’d unpack her life one piece at a time and still never be done loving her. But instead, I reached for another egg roll and said, “You’ve come a long way, Marques.” She looked at me then, and something flickered in her eyes. “So have you, Romeo.” And maybe that was enough. For now.
