Marie: A True Story Novels & Stories

In the moonlight, he looked almost young again—not the cold killer I'd married, but the man who'd fallen in love with a traumatized girl in a burning doorway. Fair enough. I'd fallen in love with the monster who'd made me a queen. The garden smelled of roses and gunpowder. Somewhere in the distance, a siren wailed. Just another night in Brooklyn. Just another chapter in the story of the Moretti family. And we were just getting started.

"Queen Nicole, I will investigate this matter immediately. Such an incident should never have occurred on my turf." I waved a hand dismissively. "No need. The culprit is right here." Merla flinched at my words, then hesitantly stepped forward. "Um… my dear fiance, you must be mistaken. Nicole was just a cheerleader from my high school. How could she possibly be the Queen of the Mafia? "I mean, we've known each other since high school. If she had any sort of background, wouldn't I know?" Even at this point, Merla clung to a sliver of hope. As far as she knew, I was just an ordinary office worker, barely scraping by at the bottom of society.

Damien nudged, Marie closed her eyes briefly but opened them again as she was ready. "The car blew up," she started, while noticed how she tried to maintain a steady voice despite the urge to break down that was underneath her voice, "We don't know how you got out but the car blew up." She stopped. "Ava's body…" “Ava's body?”Damien repeated like it was a foreign language, he felt the ground shift like an intending earthquake was about to come. "She didn't come out of the car," Marie said, "She got…" she stopped again, and the pause was worse than anything she could have said. "Only a piece of her dress was recovered."

"So tell me, Miss Love, I assume you're not married?" Once again, another unexpected question. 'but okay, answer honestly but cleverly.' she tells herself. "Yes, I am married." Tameka began to feel the fear of mentioning that she was a married woman. 'keep your cool.' She says in her brain. "Oh, I'm sorry, so it's Mrs. Love." Keen interest enters his eyes. "How long have you been married?"

she said in a whisper but he heard but couldn’t believe it. “What did you just say?” Vikram asked, making her look at him. “I love you Mr. Vikram Seth” Nitra shouted. Vikram’s happiness had no end; he hugged her, not caring about what others thought. He was on the ninth cloud from her confession he knew now his life was complete. No one would be able to take her away from him now she was all his now, she was his love, his life, his BABE. SHE WAS MARRIED TO A MAFIA AND IT WAS A LOVE STORY.

“She’s alright. Why not just marry her?” He scoffed. “Did you just ask me why I don’t like her after what she did?” “She likes you. She felt threatened. Totally normal response from a woman.” He stared at her, flabbergasted. “What kind of women were you working with in the US?” She chuckled. “Naomi tried to lock me in the basement.” The smile on Luca’s face vanished. “How’d you get out?”

“Isn’t she the girl Riley was talking to last time?” Sage looked at Dorian. “You mean the woman who turned down Riley?” Dorian nodded. Sage and the rest looked at me with disbelief in their faces. “Are you seriously turning this marriage down?” “Of course! I have a girlfriend, asshole,” I replied as I downed another bottle. “Are you serious?” Stan asked. “Eunice Lee is the Queen of Pharmacy Department!” I narrowed my eyes at him. “Queen of…what?” They all rolled their eyes at me.

Marie doesn't want to consider any of that. Marie walks down the stairs fully dressed to go out and look for people to impress as usual when her mom comes out from the kitchen. Throughout the whole month, Marie refuses to cook, just like she'd promised the woman. She isn't joking when she said she wouldn't dare cook. For days, the woman pleads, but Marie refuses, so the woman has no choice but to do it before she and her sick husband die of hunger. The funniest part is that Marie still comes back to eat the food and challenge her mom every single time.

I flipped over the pages and caught wind of her marriage certificates to both Blake and to Jonathan. ‘The joining of Nathara Kali and Jonathan Tigers’ Uhm. He wasn’t lying after all. Wonder what happened to them. I kept rummaging through the dusty office, finding completely useless information; they are all useless now because hey, now I know for a fact that Marie is dead so any brand new bitch coming at me with some ‘I’ll help you find your sister’ is just completely insane. “Ma’am.” A guard startled me. “What?” I took a sharp glance at him and he immediately corrected his posture; bowing and keeping his face glued to the ground.

The old man invited them inside his house again to discuss things he knew about the record. "I was cleaning room 106 that time when Marie Anderson died. It was the fifth day of September, they were about to leave the hospital since Marie was already fine. However, they were not allowed to go home unless they settle their account. Her father went out to find some money and when he returned after paying the remaining balance he barrowed from his friend, there was a knife stabbed on his daughter's neck. Marie has the chance to survive if the doctor attended her earlier. But since they were poor, the doctor ignored the dying patient and sent her father away. Marie died that day because of the ho
