Novel & Cerita The Glass Castle

I finish for him. “Yeah, it’s like every fairy tale land come to life.” He says, reverently. “Wow, Lily’s going to be Queen here one day?” I ask. Talk about intimidating! “Lucky girl!” I laugh. “You never know, Cayd, maybe you’ll find your mate here and you can come live here too.” When we turn a corner in the road and see the magnificent glass castle in front of us, we are both struck speechless. I’ve never seen anything so beautiful in my life.

Yet here they were, staring at a glass castle that should have been beyond the reach of a man who grew up on the farms. "Tell me again, how did you afford this?" Cathleen's voice cut through the air, sharp and demanding, her eyes never leaving the house as she spoke. She could see it all—the pool with its flickering boma fire pit, the staircase spiraling like a DNA helix to the uppermost bedroom, where shadows played against the gossamer curtains. Her husband swallowed his Adam’s apple, betraying him before his words did. "Growing on the farms didn't deprive me of investing," he said. "Real estate, stocks..." He went on.

The whole world glowed in an ethereal, smudged light that made everyone look even more beautiful like a camera filter that was very generous. Passing by the armor-clad guards and women in long skirts carrying buckets of water, Mory realized that she was as far from Earth as she could possibly be. The click-clack of the horse's hooves beat against the cobblestone path that led to the doors of the castle, and Mory chuckled out against Teddy's back as she looked at the massive fortress built into the mountainside lined in stained-glass windows with gargoyles on watch at the bastions. "Holy shit! Do you really live here? This is like a dream."

The windows of the castle all broke down , filling the floor with pieces of broken glass . " Let her go ! " said Eskyrlious glaring at him .

A fight was what he wanted and a fight was exactly what she would give him. * * * And so ends book one of 'That Girl In Glasses' Please stick around for book 2:) Stay beautiful. XO, CJ 💚

Reyna The landing of the private jet is surprisingly smooth, and as the wheels touch down, my heart flutters with anticipation. What else lay in store for me to marvel at? As we stepped out of the private jet, the sight that greeted us was nothing short of awe-inspiring. “Wow…” I trail off when I set my eyes on Malachi’s castle in front of me…well if you could call it a castle! The castle stands tall and majestic, with the outer walls made of an enchanting, shimmering glass material that seemed to change colours in the light, creating an iridescent effect that catches the eye from every angle.

When we returned from our honeymoon, I'd be a mother to eleven kids, and in a few more months, to twelve. I know it sounds crazy. But with my family moving into the new house, I knew I'd have all the help I needed. The castle, I suppose that's the word for it, was breathtaking. Made of glass, with twenty-four rooms in all. Raymond promised we could add on if we had to. It was like something from a fairy tale, the kind of place young girls dream of. We lost Charlie two days after we got back from our honeymoon. It broke my fucking heart.

My father, sitting opposite me in the carriage, raised his hand and pointed outside, gesturing for me to lean forward and take a closer look at the scene. I followed my father's prompt and leaned further forward. My heart raced with anticipation as the carriage rolled forward, the last trees giving way to reveal the imposing portcullis that marked the entrance to the palace. As soon as the carriage crossed through the gate, the sounds of classical music became clearer. I peered out of the window, watching intently as guests streamed towards inside, I can even sense their confident auras all the way from the carriage.

Watching them, watching him. “Papa, the buttresses must be wider!” Clara commanded, poking the side of the towering sand structure with an authoritative finger. “This is the West Wing of the Castle of Glittering Dreams! It must support the Queen’s tower, which is going to be made of seaweed.”

“You know what they say about the early bird” He stared blankly like he was clueless about what I was saying. “Early bed gets the worm?” I said. “What worm?” he asked. “Come on, even a two-year-old knows that” I replied. His gaze stayed on me too long scanning my face. “Follow me” I walked behind him into the house. Inside the mansion was a beauty to behold. It was filled with towering glass and steel. I caught my reflection in the side of my eye, and each step echoed. I turned back to see I had strayed away from Levi.
