Maria Brink Costume Novels & Stories

CHAPTER SEVEN: THE SURVEILLANCE "You're not wearing that." Elena paused, looking down at her black pants and the crisp white blouse. It was essentially the uniform of a prisoner trying her best to pass as a secretary. Then she looked up at Martha. The older woman stood framed in the closet doorway, holding a silk dress the exact color of bruised wine and heavy smoke.

William quite well, so her boots had to attend this ceremony. Maria walks in with her arm locked arm-in-arm with her mother. Since she is the only daughter from the Herbert family, her posture looks quite noble naturally—she wears a black dress with an inspiring design that completely reveals her back skin. The two sides of the black cloth diverge all the way down to her waist and hip line, leaving her fair back totally exposed to exude an alluring temperament. It must be because her brain knew my fur was here today, so she dressed up super wild to attend the ceremony. Instead of being reckless and loud like she used to be, her mouth doesn't offend my face the second our eyes encounter each

"And after what has happened, you've become a target. Time to wake up, Mercy and accept your place in a world that you've spent your entire life pretending doesn't exist." Mercy stares at me, wheels turning in her head. In this moment, I've become her enemy. "Maria!" she suddenly shrieks. Maria steps into the office in her stained wedding dress, and Dominika follows right behind her. All hopes I had of Maria being too busy in the bathroom to care what the rest of us might be doing evaporate in that moment. Her eyes widen when she sees the state of Mercy, her golden hazel eyes scanning the torn dress and the bound wrists.

It was the day of the field trip, Maria had to take extra care of her looks and she made sure, not to bind the chest binder tight. She was wearing a simple blue T-Shirt, making sure not to wear anything very dark or very bright to avoid not only those from whom she was hidden but also from her own people since both of them were everywhere. She also wore a puffer denim jacket and lastly a grey newsboy cap to complete the look. 'Wish you luck to get back here alive without being found out by anyone.' Maria said to herself looking in her eyes through the mirror. She went out of the dorm and walked to the campus main ground where the buses were waiting for the students.

She always had. The break offered little respite, but Maria used it wisely. She changed into a stunning black dress—elegant yet edgy—and adorned herself with a mask, a playful bunny motif, to further contrast the heaviness of the day. She’d been living in a whirlwind of tabloids and gossip for days now, and tonight, she wouldn’t let Edwards have the upper hand. As she slipped on the diamond necklace Luca had gifted her, her fingers brushed the pendant. It wasn’t just jewelry—it was a tool, a piece of technology designed for moments like this.

"What do you mean he isn't answering? Call him again" Maria sighed to the boy who was probably around her age she had found to be in charge of this security shift. They were in the entrance hall to the main house, Maria was dressed ready for tonight's meeting in a burgundy wrapped top over some figure-hugging black dress trousers. Killer heels, curled hair and red lipstick to exaggerate her Italian-American heritage were a must as well.

Conchita hung the dress on the door and was just about to unpack her other things when Maria walked in. “Wow, you look great.” “Thank you,” said Maria and turned around in a circle. Her dress was in a peach color with thin straps over her shoulders. Conchita’s had short sleeves. It hugged her sister's body and showed every curve she had. “You are not wearing a bra.” Maria grinned. “No, I want them to see as much of me as possible.” “I’m wearing one, that’s for sure. If it is cold inside my nipples will go hard and they could see it.”

Maria welcomed the idea of embarking on such a thrilling escapade, sneaking out of the group, exploring hidden spots, and creating memories that would bind them closer together. Maria wore her signature outfit—her favourite skirt and blouse—which always made her feel confident and beautiful. Her blouse was a vibrant shade of red, perfectly complementing her dark hair and radiant smile. It fitted very well over her slender frame, showing off her graceful breasts, which were confined in her bra beneath the fabric. Satish noticed how stunning she looked, and admiration filled his heart.

I was somewhat surprised to learn that Maria was a devotee of the Goddess Selene, given her rather rigid demeanor. Suddenly, Regina’s face lit up with excitement, and she exclaimed, “Yes! I found something that will fit you!” Within moments, I was being dressed in a flowing white coat dress, designed to be loose-fitting for comfort. A pair of white gloves accompanied it. Around my neck, a pink scarf was expertly wrapped, and a matching pink beret adorned my loose hair. I couldn’t help but admire myself in the mirror. The outfit transformed me, giving me an air of sophistication and grace.

It felt like it would stain my skin. I leaned my forehead against the cool glass, watching a helicopter bank in the distance. I was a Winslow again. Broke, hunted, but finally, finally awake. However the sound of the electronic lock clicking startled me. I turned as the door swung open and Maria stepped in. She was a sight to behold. She was wearing a frizzy red wig, a pair of oversized glasses, and a medical mask. In her arms, she was struggling with about a dozen shopping bags filled with clothes, toiletries, and everything else a woman needs to start a life from scratch.
