Maria Gift Novels & Stories

After surviving a kidnapping and being diagnosed with severe PTSD, I became the family's top priority. Every sharp object and glass item in the house was removed. The furniture was wrapped in thick foam padding, until not a single hard edge remained. My parents canceled all business trips. News broadcasts and violent movies were banned from the house. To help me feel safe, they even forced my younger brother, who had just earned a full scholarship to a top university, to stay home and keep me company around the clock. Everything changed on the night of my brother's lavish eighteenth-birthday celebration. When fireworks erupted across the sky without warning, I hallucinated instantly and grab

The dinner table fell into a dead silence. “Sweetheart, come with me.” Mom led me to the backyard and pushed open the storage room door. In the corner were more than a dozen neatly stacked cases of the exact same whisky. Some were damp and moldy, others were covered in cobwebs. These were all the New Year’s gifts I had my husband, Kevin Zane, buy over the past three years. “W-What is this?” My voice came out dry. My throat was tight.

"Okay?" "Ariella!" Maria called out. One of my youngest staff walked in with something big. I could recognize her, Ariella, Maria's first daughter who mostly featured in gang bang videos. "Here's the surprise I told you about over the phone," Maria said as Ariella began to unwrap the present. I watched keenly, silently with my hand under my jaw for an anchor. "Surprise..." Ariella exclaimed turning the frontal part of the portrait to me. I must say that I was greatly impressed by the painting, it was a professional artwork but I could still say without any iota of doubt that my artist was way better.

" Okay sir. I hope you got something nice for ma'am Arianna" " Uhh...kind of. Just lost right here. I do not know a perfect gift to give to her" " Sir, there is no such thing as a perfect gift. Just gift her something nice, something she loves. Okay? "Yes I will. Thank you Maria, always helpful". " And I'm glad I was able to help you again. I had come to give that gift to your. I'll have to head back to my office now". " Sure go ahead " " Okay sir"

Maria quipped "So, she has a girlfriend? What makes you sure that she's in love with you?" "Uh… she sends tons of love messages, Gift cards with actual gifts, she bought me a few designers in the last few months, moved me to a penthouse, and she came with me on this trip," Maria said proudly. Valerie gasped and turned to Gideon, "No! That is so sweet. How did you get her to come? She seems lovely. I want to meet her,"

Cherry blurt out her first question. “Of course dear, I am very much real, and you don’t have to pay me back or return them. I promise they are gifts from me to you.” Maria tells her as knowing what Cherry was thinking. “Why?” She couldn’t help but ask ‘why’ why her? “To be honest- I don’t know why I went all the trouble bringing you all this stuff, I don’t know why, but I felt like I had to do something for you. You are so different from the other girls I met.” Maria heaved a sigh with her eyes staring at the bedsheets. Cherry saw the sadness and sincerity in Maria’s body language, she couldn’t understand why such a beautiful intelligent rich girl like her would be interested in helping a p

“I can’t tell you. All I can do is offer you my last gift.” Camela felt something press into her palm—a small, delicate piece of cool metal. She traced it with her fingers. It was a locket. Her breath hitched as she said, “This was yours.” Maria’s voice trembled as she answered, “Yes. What’s inside isn’t just a picture or a key; but something much more powerful…a memory. It belongs to me.” Camela held it tightly as she asked, “Why give it to me then?” Maria replied, “Because I couldn’t use it. Because I kept waiting. Because I believed hope would eventually walk through the door one day.”

That was unlike her. "I'm sorry, Elise. Will you forgive me? If you don't believe I'm sincere like last time, I'll apologize with a gift. Please accept it," Maria offered a red box with both hands. "Oh, look how sweet Maria is!" Amanda exclaimed, backing up her daughter's acting. Elise caught a faint whiff of something in it and her skin started to feel itchy. "What's in the box?" "It's premium seafood. I heard that Elise liked seafood so I specifically prepared this for her," Maria grinned slyly.

from behind. “It's literally parents and older people here, what fun are you two talking about?” Sophie pointed out as we waited for Tristan and Mariana and we hummed in agreement to her thought. “Hello everyone, congratulations Jonathan.” Mariana greeted and I thanked her while gently shaking hands with Tristan, being careful not to talk too loud in order not to wake up the twins. “We got you this and though I majorly specialize in criminal cases, I'd be happy to assist you in suing that man for every dime he is worth.” She handed me a gift bag and I smiled thanking the both of them yet again.

Gift didn't feel very good about what Mr Kim was saying and she couldn't hide it. “The woman has a lot of dark secrets and I just can't bring myself to see her again. That woman! S..she-” “Please calm down and tell me what you found out,” Gift held the cup in her hand although she couldn't bring herself to drink from it. “She is married!” He said with so muc anger that his hands were shaking. “Of course, she's married to Joseph's dad,” Gift said, unsure of what Mr Kim meant.
