Lucinda Williams Novels & Stories

She rose from her chair like a snake uncoiling from it's own body and she looked gracious doing it. Rella bit her lips there was no way she would allow these women look down their noses at her and make her feel small. She was a Diamond after all. Rella smiled brightly then and started to say, "hello I am…" "Everyone may I introduce the newest member of the White Rose Cindy Diamond." Lucille said, her eyes never leaving Rella's and neither did her smile waver. "I am Lucille Carpenter the chairlady." Rella could tell there was a jibe in there but she refused to be moved into showing a negative reaction instead she continued to smile.

I excitedly asked. “No” she flatly declined, Surprised by her words, “No? What do you mean no?” A young girl, no older than eighteen approached us, she wore a similar uniform as the bartender, “Hello, I am Cindy, your waitress for today, knowing my coworker already have given you both menus, I am just checking if you two have decided on your orders, if not, there is always the chef serving dish for the day,” “Thank god because I have no idea what most of these things are anyway, I'll have the dish of the day and a glass of orange juice please,” Lilith requested.

I nod, smiling wide, "Her precious family will destroy her," Lucinda's eyes lock onto mine. "Sapphire, you want to use that leverage," Lucinda says, with a distasteful frown "Of course, to bring Rose down, and secure our power, hand in hand." Lucinda doesn't look so impressed. I think she might have a soft spot of that think. Together we'll crush Rose, and her secrets will be her demise, I nod, smiling, confident, our plan will surely rise. ############

But as she entered the room, all those emotions collapsed into something hollow. She looked almost ageless, her dark hair streaked with faint silver, her eyes sharp and unreadable. Power radiated off her like heat from a wildfire. Even the air seemed to bend around her presence. The council members exchanged nervous glances; some even took a step back. I understood why. Lucinda was a legend, a witch whose name mothers whispered to their children as bedtime warnings. The most powerful witch of the Conclave Coven. Everyone had believed she was dead, and seeing her alive was like seeing a ghost.

I should stick to you like glue. Bianca rolled her eyes, but a small smile played on her lips. Helen leaned in, mischief dancing in her gaze. How do you think Lucinda will react when she finds out? No point wasting energy on people who chase power wherever the wind blows. Helen smirked. Speaking of which, rumor has it Lucinda has become someone's mistress. Bianca arched a brow. Who? Helen lowered her voice. Someone from Washington, DC. Big influence. His power's been growing lately.

I clenched my jaw, trying to push the nasty thoughts away. “You sure you don’t wanna come with me?” Lucinda asked, twirling so the dress rode up and showed the bottom of her ass cheeks. She gave me that bright, flirty smile. “It’ll be fun, Trini. I need my favorite wing-woman.” I shook my head, throat tight. “Nah. I’m tired. Got some assignments.” She pouted those glossy lips for a second, then shrugged. “Okay. Don’t wait up.” She winked at me and strutted out, heels clicking, hips swaying like she knew exactly what she was going to get tonight.

"There's a girl. A maid. She's been sneaking around Luca's study. I think she's planning to steal something important." I frowned. "Then have her arrested." "No." Lucinda leaned forward. "I need proof. I need someone to catch her in the act. Someone Luca will believe." "Why me?" "Because you're going to be his wife someday. Your word will matter." I felt a thrill at those words. His wife. Someday. "What do you need me to do?" Lucinda handed me a small camera. "Hide. Wait. Film everything. And when she takes the document, don't interfere. Just film."

I hope my analysis is correct because if not, I cannot predict what I will do later on. “Your voice, your presence, your personality, that air of dismissal that makes every other person feel like dust, the assurance you promise those around you… Angelo… Everything you stand for makes me go weak in the knees. I want to submit to you and have you control my body in the same manner. I want to wake up every morning and stare into those beautiful eyes that look like they possess every secret in this world. I want to be the one who makes you smile, the one you search for in a crowd. I want to be the woman who makes your control go haywire. I want to be the woman you will kill for without batting a

“This might be the reason Isadora is coming for him. If she knows about the prophecy, she knows Elias’ power. And she’ll stop at nothing to claim it.” Lucian’s grip tightened on the edge of the desk. “She won’t have him.” Gabriel tilted his head. “Are you sure? She’s already gotten into his mind

She was a bigger disgrace to everything that women stand for and whatever the case with her, it is already clear to me that she is not worth it. "Fine. What's the price? I know this is all about what you want, so how much do you want this time to keep shut. I hear you have not been getting roles, I could get you back on track and I would pay." I said to her, I wanted to settle this without having to drag Abigail inside all of this mess. Lucinda was a super viper and when dealing with a creature like her, one had to be careful. She suddenly started laughing and I was already pissed at this point.
