My Landlady Noona And Cote の小説・ストーリー

"So, you see, what had happened was—" "You little tramp!" Noelle smacked my butt with her rolled-up paper, and my thoughts went to the less-than-plutonic places of last night. The look wasn't lost on her if the smirk was anything to go by. "Is this about the centaur that works at the bodega on 8th?" Nana Bet side-eyed me, shoveling hearty heaps of grits into Styrofoam bowls, listening. Judging.

"Where's your coat? Scratch that—where's your common sense?" The suitcase thudded to the floor. Lily stared at it, numb. Five years of marriage reduced to one wheeled carry-on. Noa swore under her breath and manhandled her onto the couch. "Move and I'll duct tape you here." She vanished into the kitchen, banging cabinets with unnecessary violence. Lily sat. The apartment smelled like Noa's vanilla candle wax and takeout—real life, not David's sterile mansion. Her fingers traced a coffee stain on the cushion. Proof that people actually lived here.

She had spent the past hour working, determined to bring life to this neglected patch of earth. The estate itself was beautiful, nestled in the quieter part of the city, surrounded by tall trees that shielded it from prying eyes. It was a world of its own—a place where silence was only broken by birds chirping, the distant hum of the fountain, and the occasional laughter of the staff moving about their tasks. Maria wiped her forehead with the back of her hand and leaned back, surveying her progress. The land still looked lifeless, but she wasn’t giving up. Just then, the crunch of approaching footsteps made her look up. Mr. Collins, or Cole as Luca called him, walked toward her, a medium-siz

“Under the couch.” “She alive?” “Yes. She’s safe. She’s fine.” “Did she see?” “No, no, Nola blocked her view.” “She’s not hurt?” “She’s fine. They didn’t see her.” The females murmured and wept—softly into their hands or with their faces pressed into each other’s bare shoulders—until a sharp step sounded on the stair. They tensed and then exhaled as one when Old Noreen’s raspy voice called down, “It’s clear. I have the crone.”

Three weeks later, Grace stood in the doorway of their actual apartment, not a safe house or a temporary haven, as Max unpacked the last of the boxes they'd stowed during their forced absence. The familiar environment felt both the same and completely strange, as if she was viewing it with fresh eyes. "The plant survived," she said, examining the small succulent on the windowsill that their neighbor, Mrs. Liv had been nurturing. "I told you Mrs. Liv was reliable." Max looked up from the books he was organizing on the shelf. "She also left us a casserole in the freezer and approximately fifteen voicemails asking if we needed anything."

Murmuring my thanks, I took a chair opposite Noel doing my best to not pay attention to his eyes boring holes into my face. In a short while, my teeth sank into the tasty goodness that was yolk and avocado melting together and the steamy coffee Noel quickly brewed just the way I liked it. When he handed me the mug, I returned a curt nod, hoping he understood because the actual words got stuck in my throat. Noona's eyes found mine, curiosity shining in their depths. “Are you his girlfriend?” she blurted out of nowhere. Hot liquid scorched my lips as I jerked back in shock. The coffee had burned my tongue and the roof of my mouth.

"This is a high-end ski resort. How did people like you even get in? Where are the security guards? Throw them out before they bring in germs from outside." Carla had grown up as the little princess of the Rossi family. She had never been treated like this before, and she snapped on the spot. "This isn't your property. What right do you have to make us leave? If anyone should go, it's you. You have no manners at all!" After saying that, she grabbed my hand and huffed, "Come on, Novella. Let's go to another slope. It's not worth dealing with people like her." But the moment we turned around, Laura stepped directly into our path.

The click of heels against the checkered floors are especially violent and the clouds outside are stormy, much like Nonna’s mood. “Do you have any idea how much I paid to get these off the media?!” She yells, her voice cracking as she sets her tablet down on the table beside me.

“Well, technically there are four but Mrs Nashville is living separately as she is looking after her mother.” Nora is feeling overwhelmed to work here as a helping hand - she is not used to this kind of luxury. This is the first time she has entered this magnificent villa that she has been hearing of. Now she can’t wait to get back home and tell every detail to her mother. Working in this mansion as a gardener is giving Henry enough money that he is saving for his wife’s operation. Nora and Henry arrive home and see Lola is having a rest. The noise of her cough makes them take a look at her. “Oh, you are awake.”

"Money and my coochie. Which I've vowed not to give him. At least not my money. He can have the coochie whenever, he eats it well though." The social workers downstairs could hear Coco and Brandy's laughter. *** Mrs. Kaave stepped into the bathtub, feeling like the Queen of England. She studied the bathroom, it was small compared to hers. Well, she had no choice than to manage for the time being. In a day or two, she'd be back in the mansion. Her eyes went wide when she saw Donda open the door and walk in. She didn't protest as Donda came closer. With his hands almost having a mind of their own, Donda, reached out and grasped both of her hardened nipples with his fingertips. Her nipples felt
