Marinette's Friends Novels & Stories

He thought about it and then asked again, “Have you interacted with Lyette Shaw a lot lately?” Mariette frowned when she heard that name. “Why would I have anything to do with that petty little peasant?! I haven’t met her for years since our previous argument.” With Mariette’s personality, it was no wonder that she did not get along with her sister-in-law. In that case, Mariette was not the one who asked Lynette to transfer the funds to Scout. Who could it be, then? “Who else did you tell about your encounter with that drunkard?” Maxwell asked again.

"You're friends, and you should share your news or talk a little. Didn't that little girl say anything?" "You don't have to know everything, Denis." "Hey, you keep thinking badly of me. The point of my question was just... I didn't harass or hurt your friend, and we were trying to make peace." "You are a great storyteller." "Whatever." Denis shrugged. "Just give her a call. Surely your little friend will be home after selling her fish at the market." He smiled wryly because he felt that he knew quite a lot about Marra, this was like a way of competing with Celine about who was closer to Marra, and it turned out to be fun–making Celine even more annoyed at the man's words. "Right, she must ha

The next evening, Jonah took me to a private room at a club. As soon as the group of trust fund babies saw me, their eyes instinctively turned to Eric. Lila, who was sitting next to Eric, greeted me with a smile. "Gina, do you remember me? I'm your best friend, Lila Wheeler." Jonah led me to sit down. I shook my head apologetically at Lily. She clung to Eric's arm and mentioned with a grin, "No worries. We can start over and get to know each other again."

He could help. Luca asked if the friend could be trusted. Sarah said yes. She made a call. The friend arrived an hour later. His name was Tom. He was tall. Gray hair. A calm voice. He asked us to tell him everything. We did. Tom said he would look into Marie. He would find out where she was. He would keep us safe. I asked how. He said he had contacts. At the hospital. At the police department. Luca asked how much it would cost.

The whole crowd appeared as a blur. “Brett ... Lennie ... oh it’s so good to see you.” Margaret had evidently located her family and practically vaulted over the ropes. She flung herself at a huge man, about her own age. *You’re looking thinner. IT hope you’ve been eating properly? This is Kerrien. New friend of mine. Moving to Brisbane to work for some doctor... other side of town but we shan’t let that stop us seeing her, eh love? Here, Kerrien, come and say hi to my two lads. Brett, you mark my words, you should make sure you get her phone number. You could do a lot worse.’

I stepped out of Maren’s house with my heart still racing. The conversation had left me raw in the best and worst ways. Maren followed me outside, wiping her hands on her apron. She wanted to see me off. She looked at the three people waiting for me. “And who are these beautiful people?” she asked, smiling warmly. I cleared my throat. “This is Elara. She’s… my friend. She’s been helping me with Mara.” Maren nodded kindly. “It’s nice to meet you, Elara.”

Ismael asked Charlotte while offering her a hand to help her stand. “I am better than ever,” Charlotte replied once standing. Marina left her spot next to the mainmast and joined them. “We have to get out of here,” Marina said to her friends. “You are not going anywhere!” Captain Anna shouted once she was standing, pointing her sabre to them. The three friends looked at her with fear and rage. “Ismael… take Marina away from here. I will take care of my old captain,” Charlotte ordered Ismael while getting ready to fight.

MILA True to their word, Isla and Marie picked me up the next morning in a sporty red car. BRIDE TO BE had been spray-painted on the back windshield in big, bold letters. The sight made me laugh. I had never really had friends before, and to have found both of these women in the past few weeks felt like I had finally found something I had been searching for my whole life: genuine friendship. Nadine certainly had never been a friend to me, and no one in my hometown had ever paid me much attention.

I addressed my friends after I stopped laughing, “but Sky thinks that Marié will forget about us now that she’s dating Nick. Marié, would you kindly tell her that you’re not going anywhere anytime soon & that you’re not going to forget about us?” Marié gasped, “I would never! Besides, who else is going to THAT thing for you? I’m never gonna ditch you guys. You two were the first girls to actually speak to me when I moved here. I’d never forget that.” “Awnnn. Adorable,” Ty said in his baby voice, “Maybe you should group hug now,” he teased. But actually, that wasn’t such a bad idea. Marié came to our seat and we hugged it out before she returned to her seat.

I asked anxiously, holding on to a flicker of hope. “No Miss, they wouldn't be reachable until they return,” she responded calmly, trying to usher me into my room. I took a really deep breath and smiled. I was used to this, I prepared for this, every person close to me always ended up leaving me alone. “I won't cry this time,” I said quietly, shaking my head as I felt the tears begin to well up. “I will be strong,” I whispered firmly, almost like a silent prayer. Martha brought some food and helped me shower, telling me it was all going to be fine.
