Then, Jessica tugged at Lucy, and she also grinned at Caspian, saying, "Good luck, idiot Casper." Caspian waved his hands and walked toward the direction of the arena. Once Caspian left, Lucy leaned closer to Jessica and asked, "Lady Jessica, aren’t you planning on telling Casper about that?" "What's that?" Jessica glanced at Lucy. "The gorgeous lady, Maisie Pine!" As Lucy exclaimed, she gestured at her chest exaggeratedly. "It’s unexpected that Master Chloe is a friend of Maisie's Master, and you're here to pass a letter to her. That Maisie’s really beautiful and gentle. Besides, you know that when we were still in Evergreen Town, Maisie had always been taking special care of Casper. Do you

"And I'll review what we know about Matthews. If he was dealing in magical artifacts, there might be a paper trail in his legitimate business records." The efficiency of their coordination struck Casie; no wasted motion, no territorial disputes about jurisdiction. The bonds were making them function as a true unit rather than three individuals forced together by circumstance. "Twenty minutes," she said, heading for her own clothes. "Then we meet with our former Raven and figure out what the hell the Order is really after." As they separated to prepare, Casie caught sight of Maya in the hallway, the teenager's expression troubled despite her obvious attempt to appear brave. The girl's resilie

Several Weeks Later Jasper slowly eased his body onto its side. Mimicking sleep, he intently listened to the conversation between a young woman named, Cora, and the old nurse he’d heard called both Bess and Smithfield. He’d assumed that her true name was Elizabeth Smithfield with Bess being the nick name for Elizabeth, but names were funny things. He’d noticed the increasing pattern of nick names or abbreviated names being given to children at birth by parents wanting to be different. Therefore, he could have been incorrect on that assumption.

Chapter 16: The Midnight Laboratory The silence of St. Jude’s Hospital at midnight was an eerie, physical weight. The bustling hallways that had seen Jade’s triumph just hours earlier were now dim, lit only by the flickering blue hum of exit signs and the occasional soft squeak of a janitor’s cart in the distance. Jade moved through the shadows of the North Wing, her heart hammering a frantic rhythm against her ribs. She wasn't here as the celebrated wife of Caspian or the "Genius Doctor" of the Gala. She was here as a thief of time, desperate to prove the secrets hidden within her mother’s scorched notebook.

She certainly didn't notice the chill in the house. Within the next two weeks, Maisie plan worked fine. She had won a case for the firm and that made her superiors to watch her closely, not that it did anything to stop Mr. Huggins wandering hands but she had perfected escaping them to the extent that it has turned into an art for her. Still, Maisie couldn't help the feeling she has that she is in a den of enemies and that she wouldn't be safe if she took one wrong step. Maisie shook off her bad feeling as she walked back into the office of her team. " Miss Williams, did you get the coffee. " Mr. Huggins said as a mode of greeting her.

“How do you even know they’ll accept me, let alone let me lead them?” “Your marriage consummation was witnessed,” she said. “Don’t remind me,” I said; a little more aggressively than necessary. “What did I miss?” my grandmother asked with raised brows as she entered the room. Her long, slender arms were laden with fresh cut lavender. “We were just discussing Casey’s new duties as Queen of Prince Vogel’s vampire kingdom,” Gwendoline offered. “I can’t do it,” I said as I dropped, unceremoniously, down onto one of the chairs that surrounded the table and rested my head on my folded arms in defeat.

Maisie gave another bow, and everyone looked at Damon again to give his final answer. Damon looked at her with a straight face, but she didn’t seem to be affected by his intimidating looks. “I’m sorry, Miss Maisie.” Damon answered, and Maisie smiled and nodded. “Can I please give a little present to Queen Marlene before I leave? I have always adored her.” Maisie uttered, and Megan creased her brows. ‘Is she trying to gain mother’s trust?’ She thought. “Sure. Move closer and present your gift.” Marlene said to her. Maisie happily moved closer and pulled out an old but expensive necklace from her pocket.

She even gave an excuse of the servants disturbing her peace. Knowing Dahlia, Elsie knew that Dahlia had never read a fictional novel in her entire life. She was more into inspirational and medical books, like the one she stole from seventeen-year-old Elsie. Meanwhile, the library had a lone shelf filled with a variety of romance novels from historical to mystery, arranged in alphabetical order by the author's name. Elsie could recognize most of the names of the books because she was an avid reader growing up. The room was filled with shelves of books, old photographs, and various trinkets.
