Jennifer Donnelly Books Novels & Stories

"I saw the library, it's ridiculous." "Obviously not all the books, Mike." he scoff. "I went through the covers and I read a few who could have had something, but there was nothing. The lady in the library - Frida - she's still searching and will tell me if she finds anything." The main base has more books. Alexandra thought. Still, she knew they wouldn't find anything there. Alexandra has read majority of the books, and they were nothing compared to the amount they have in here. Adom also has many books...

"Now, let me tell you about meal times. Mr. De Luca dines at seven sharp. He expects..." She continued talking, explaining the household routines, but I barely heard her. My mind was spinning with everything I'd learned. Isabella's hidden file. The journal filled with secrets. Mrs. Ciro's warning about walls having ears. And underneath it all, the growing certainty that I was trapped in a web of lies and danger that I didn't understand. When Mrs. Ciro finally left, I sat in the gathering darkness, listening to Aria's soft breathing. The baby was innocent in all of this. Pure. Untouched by the violence and secrets that surrounded her.

Slowly rising to my feet, I asked, “What did you just say?” According to the doctor in charge, Novah has a miscarriage, what then is Jaylen talking about. And once again, I couldn't help but to get even more suspicious. First it was Thorne and now Jaylen who was giving me reasons to doubt her. Chuckling, she pushed her hand into her hair and after twirling it around her fingers for a while, she said, “I’m sorry to have brought back memories. I forgot the doctor mentioned she miscarried.” Switching the topic, she asked, “When you asked about her whereabouts, what did she say to you?”

“She doesn’t recall what it was like to love you. “She doesn’t want to waste any more time on you.” Janna nodded courteously yet detachedly at Vincent, who could barely keep to his feet. “Take care, Don Colleo.”

Black envelopes spilled from the sky like some obscene version of snow. Inside every envelope was a copy of the signed divorce page, screenshots of Serena switching the gift box, and proof that she ordered the guard to hurt me. The chapel erupted. I shut off the feed. A silver-gray helicopter waited in the snow with its rotors already turning. My lawyer stood by the open door and held out his hand. "Ma'am, it's time to go." I stepped inside. Before the door closed, I looked down at the chapel one last time. Serena was clutching Damian's hand, and the priest's voice broke apart in the wind.

Her movements before she came to Italy. I set down the paper. Pick up my wine. Take a slow sip. He is beginning to question. That is dangerous. I have spent years building the narrative — the maid who seduced the Don, the thief who betrayed the family, the woman who killed herself in a fire rather than face the consequences. It is a beautiful story. Clean. Believable. But stories only work if no one looks too closely. Luca is looking. No matter, I tell myself. I have dealt with worse.

The expression on Don's face was the expression of someone recognizing something he had known but had not yet heard spoken. Ernest said: "You said we are the fifth book. But the five books are: The Inside Account, The Ground Keeps, The Emergent World, The Ordinary Morning, and the journals. The journals are the fifth book. The unwritten book that the four written books approached. The journals are the inside account at its most inside — the building happening in the writing, not the writing about the building." Don was quiet for a long time. The fire settled. A piece of coal shifted, sending a small spray of sparks up the chimney. The February light had shifted again — the cloud had passed,

Taking a step, my whole body halts when I hear small sobs coming from the room beside the kitchen. Who is that? Slowly but surely, I push open the door only to find Isabella crying on a bed. “Isabella? Are you okay?” I murmur, padding my feet forward towards her bed. “No, Donna, no one must see you with me. They will kill me, you have to go.” She jolts out of her bed, tears running down her cheeks. “I don't understand,” I murmur, taking a step back. “This is a house full of torment. Run while you can. Run, Donna.” She says her voice frantically as she presses her fingernails into my palm.

He rushed forward, about to announce Lia's disappearance. The doors suddenly swung open. The hall fell silent. "Lia…" my father's face went pale. "What nonsense is this?" Riccardo froze, staring at her. "Lia…" Lia scanned the room, ignoring the sudden intensity in Riccardo's eyes. She spoke loudly, clearly, and deliberately. "Sorry to interrupt your little comedy. I announce that today's Donna ceremony is void." The crowd froze. Lina screamed first. "Bah! Our father is the Don! Who gave you the right to oppose him?"
