Jessica Hall Books Novels & Stories

She opened her door slowly, every movement precise, her feet silent against the polished floors. She walked quietly through the hall until she reached Brielle’s room and then, she turned the knob quietly. Inside, Brielle was asleep, her breathing steady, her figure relaxed in the faint moonlight. Jessica tiptoed in, her gaze sweeping the room hungrily. She scanned the dresser, the bedside table, the wardrobe. Somewhere in here, she was certain Hannah’s phone had to be hidden. She crouched low, pulling open drawers with careful fingers, biting her lip to stifle the sound of wood scraping.

She needed to remind herself. Caitlin walked over to the desk and sat on the small, medieval chair. She lit a candle, and it illuminated the worn pages of her journal. She turned them back slowly, as the brittle pages made a soft, crackling noise. In the candlelight, she picked up the pen, rested her forehead in one hand, and began to write. * How did I get here?

Except, my prince charming has just left me.

Emma later went upstairs to her brother's room. James' room was filled with things that he had insisted on carrying from Mina's place. He adores his things and wishes to take them with him wherever he goes. Emma faked a gasp seeing the room. On the bed, the blankets were covered by plushies and coloring books while color packs were laid on the nightstand unevenly. Mina had spoiled him a lot. Emma began to organize her brother's belongings. She placed the plushies on the bed, and neatly stacked the coloring books and packs on the nightstand. When she finished, she stood back and felt a warm wave of nostalgia wash over her.

“Now all we have to do is to figure out why you were naked and what happened to your clothes.” Feeling a bit foolish, Eliza admitted, “I never checked my room for the clothes.” “Seriously?” Reba said with angst. “When I was younger, I used to sleepwalk,” Eliza continued. “Maybe I went home and then sleepwalked. I woke up in the same place that I used to wake up when I was younger, except that I was naked.” “Well, when you were younger, you didn’t have asshole bartenders drugging you,” Reba growled.

Just to be near here, to see her smile, to smell her sweet smell that ignited my nostrils, I could not imagine being without her for that long. At the moment it was me trying to calm her but in reality, just being near her helped me be calm and not scream in rage at how ridiculous the High Priestess was. The damn circle around the room of another priestess not allowed to move was using the idea of keeping things from the past to the newest level. I remembered how we first met and the idea she had no idea how to defend herself. I started imagining what would happen if another pack attacked this house, fuck all these beautiful wolves would be dead because they couldn’t fight only heal. Then

And even though she had been tied to this desk for years after her leg was torn off by a spuma on an operation, she still had the sharp eyes of a huntress. “Get chairs and sit down. It makes me nervous when you stand there. ”She began to rummage through her pile of files while Reese got two chairs from the wall and put them in front of the desk. "And take your hand out of your jacket if you don't want to lose it," said Jilin. "You know that there is no smoking in here." He just snorted, but obeyed and plopped down on the left chair.

Abdullah asked. “Yes Sir.” replied Eliza. She doesn’t know what drama this is but based on the tension in the room, it is very private. The office is just 2 blocks away and she can reach it by foot. At least she had the presence of mind to go change first before coming here so she was wearing casual clothes and sandals enabling her to move swiftly. Who knows what could’ve happened if she was still wearing the dress and her heels, maybe fall flat on her face. That scenario made her chuckle earning her curious stares from the people walking in the park. The park was a faster route to the office. She knows it is an urgent matter so she hastened her steps arriving at the office in record time. S

“My body was already cold… and if not for the moon goddess' mercy our paths wouldn't have crossed that day, I wouldn’t be standing here.” Jayden lowered his head, guilt on his face. Jess wiped her tears quietly, jaw clenching as she glared at Kira and Jessica who was still lying unconscious. But the rest of the hall? They were horrified. Shocked. Disgusted. “Ugh…” a faint groan came from behind us. Jessica. She was waking up, holding her head, her hair messy, makeup smudged. She staggered forward and blinked at the hall in confusion while the guards tried to keep her in place.

He said. "I've been working my butt off for everyone all my life" "And It's time for me to step down and enjoy the rest of my life" I was so shocked. Don't tell me. "It's time to introduce the new successor of Madden Group of Hospitals and Madden Realty Group" No way. Not yet. "Let me introduce to you, my one and only heiress, the reason for all of my hard work. Soline Madden" My mouth dropped. I want to throw tantrums at dad but everyone is looking at me including the men I slept with.

Cassandra’s POV I wired the money without hesitation. Fifty thousand dollars—gone with a single click. As the confirmation popped up on my screen, satisfaction wasn’t what I felt. Unease was.
