Marie Squid Sisters Novels & Stories

Not softer. If anything, Ivy Ellis was holding herself together with everything in her, and it showed in the smallest ways. The tension in her shoulders. The careful way she chose her words. The fire in her eyes that refused to dim, even now. Especially now. I liked it. I had no use for someone who would crumble under pressure. “You’ve exhausted your options,” I said calmly. “Your previous partners have withdrawn. Your creditors are preparing to move. And within the next seventy-two hours, your company’s financial state will become public knowledge.”

It had been many years into the marriage when I finally learned about the truth. It turned out that my mother, Erica Jones, had drugged me on my wedding day and let my sister take my place at the ceremony simply because my sister also liked my fiancé. My breathing grew rapid. Back then, Mom told me that I had suddenly fainted during the wedding. So that my fiancé wasn't suddenly left at the altar, she had no choice but to let my twin sister, Diana Halliwell, marry him in my stead!

Mercedes was relieved to see her sister in sound health and she clung to her tightly before letting her down and thoroughly examining every part of her to make sure she was perfectly intact. “Sister, I'm okay... Aunt Marie has taken good care of me..” “Aunt who?” “Aunt Marie..” as Daniella said it this second time, she pointed a finger in Marie's direction. Marie and Mercedes had never met each other before that time and so, Marie didn't know how to react. She was already embarrassed at how small her house was which was now being emphasized by the number of people in it: Her, Sensi, Lorenzo, Daniella, and Mercedes... One could even add Mercedes’ unborn child to this list.

I looked up, surprised to see Maya sliding into the empty seat at our table. "Sorry I'm late," she said, dropping her bag on the floor. "Hunter told me you were here. I figured I'd join since you're telling people about..." She waved her hand vaguely. "You know." "Quinn knows," I confirmed. I wasn't surprised that Hunter had told Maya already. He knew Maya was also her friend and would support her. "And what do you think?" Maya asked her directly. Quinn's lips quirked. "That our friend is marrying her dead sister's husband, who also happens to be our boss, while pregnant with their baby. It's a good story for a daytime soap."

“Tomorrow the Terrible Two-Some of Sick and Misk will be back on the case, killin’ hoes and mo-fos in their sleep. The Killer Sisters are back, girlfriend!” Despite myself, I smile and return Mary Sue’s proffered high-five. No matter how much I try, I never seem able to hate her for very long.

I accused with crossed arms “Sorry about that, anyways I came to witness Damian’s entry to our school.” She giggled. We are a fraternal twin. “Yes, girl. You’re going to be star of the moment.” Her friends, Tasha and Kelvin came to give her high-five. I forced a smile. My sister, and her squad call themselves “The Refined.” They are the most dangerous clique at Euphoren High. Stephanie kept talking with her friends, having forgotten about me.

And Aiden looked at me in bewilderment, as if he hadn't noticed how lousy I look today. “Slight malaise,” I slurred, “no need to worry. Better tell us the latest news. Did you find out who was behind all this? We're still looking into it, but there aren't many options. The main version is apostates. I swallowed obscene words along with another spoonful of soup. The Resistance very skillfully framed the Sisters. “So, someone saw the distraught dark ones?” I asked a logical, from my point of view, question.

“Those two are a perfect match—both scumbags! Don’t waste your energy on them! “Oh, and guess what? Lucas actually called me to say he made seafood boil! I’ve told him at least a thousand times I’m allergic to seafood! And I broke up with him. Is there something wrong with him?” I laughed. “He just doesn’t care. He’s never paid attention. If it were someone else, you’d see the difference.” Monica sighed in agreement. “Yeah, forget him. Not worth talking about.” Then, she pulled out her tablet to show me a video. “Hey, I’ve been watching this really funny TikToker lately. He goes around interviewing random people and gives them all kinds of crazy-flavored gummy bears. It’s hilarious!” She qui

“My name is Theo and this is Davina. We are seeking the Dupont magic woman.” “I am Freya. I have been expecting you.” She looked directly at Davina. “We have much to do if you are to change what has occurred here.” “I feel a little overwhelmed,” Davina admitted. “Is it all like that outside these walls?” “It is.” “They eat each other?” she squeaked. “The food source has been altered due to the devastation to the planet.” “How could my sister do all of this? I just don’t understand.”

I had nothing to say to that, I've not had a party in 12 years. "What about you?" "Me? You mean my birthday?" I nodded. "It was in June, I became twenty-five." June! Five and twenty? It was such a coincidence that Martha was also born in June and she would be five and twenty as well. Is it possible that Aunt Agatha had twins but hid it from us? And if Ann says she's Ann, then what was her sister's name? "What was your sister's name?" My expression may have been frightening as Ann looked uncomfortable immediately.
