Zoe From Miraculous Novels & Stories

But before I could process the unease creeping up my spine, Owen continued. “Let me introduce you both to someone very important. My business partner and the co-owner of this new company.” Owen said turning slightly. I stopped breathing for a second. A woman walked up, her high heels made a soft clicking sound. I couldn’t see clearly. My heart was beating fast. It felt like nothing was moving. She looked exactly like me. Zoe. The real Zoe. My twin sister. She's dressed in a deep green gown that fit her perfectly, her hair was styled neatly, she looked strong and confident. She looked different from the woman I grew up with, the woman I had left bleeding on the floor weeks ago.

The first thing I felt was cold. A thin sheet tucked over me, the sterile scent of antiseptic biting at my nose. I wasn’t in Brayden’s room anymore. I blinked hard, disoriented, until the faint hum of monitors reminded me, I’d fainted. The voices outside my door sharpened into argument. “She collapsed in front of the doctors! How can someone that fragile run an empire?” Leonardo’s voice. “Fragile?” Clara’s tone cracked like a whip. “Zoe is stronger than both of you combined.”

Over the years, she had been revolving around Ariana and eventually managed to become an actress at Born Beauty Entertainment. I recalled from my previous life that Moriah was diagnosed with AIDS after the New Year and had infected several men. I glanced behind Moriah and saw a portly bald man, Rylee Velasquez, the CEO of Velasquez Building Supply. He was one of those unfortunate ones. Moriah snorted, her expression filled with disdain, "Are you Zoey? I heard your eight years of exile abroad were quite tough. But now it seems you've turned a corner and become a phoenix, daring to step into the threshold of Z&L Design?"

"What are you crying about? You scared that woman so bad she miscarried, and now you're the one upset?" "Her baby wasn't healthy," Alice shot back, tilting her head defiantly. "The doctor said it would have Down syndrome, so it's better it didn't make it! How's that my fault?" Helena let out a big sigh from the back seat. "I can't tell if this girl's a good or bad one." Grandma reached over and stroked my hair, saying, "Zoe's the good one." After Grandma finished her walk in the park, Helena had to stop by the hospital to pick up Grandma's medications, so we all went with her.

Zoe pointed directly at Miranda, who was seated at the head of the room, and cried, "That’s my daughter, Jenny! It’s our fault, Jenny, that we didn’t take care of you. Please don’t deny us!" The Earl instantly shouted in anger, "Nonsense! These people are mad! Drag them out!" Zoe quickly added, "But that’s my daughter, Jenny! My lord, if you don’t believe me, look behind her right ear. There’s a red birthmark there that she’s had since she was a baby. She’s my daughter, who looks just like me, only younger and more beautiful. She’s like a flower!" As she spoke, she raised her head, revealing almond-shaped eyes and finely arched brows, indeed bearing some resemblance to Miranda.

She hoped that this plan worked and that she could resist Cressida's spell and kill her once and for all. "You are one of the chosen ones, so you may have some natural resistance. I don't do black magic, but I will try to place a small spell on you and see if you have any barriers." Zoe stood still while Ariel began chanting. Zoe could feel something happening, but she wasn't sure what. Her body became all tingly, and she saw what looked like glitter in front of her eyes. When Ariel stopped chanting, she was looking at Zoe in shock. "What happened?" Zoe asked, looking from Aeriel to her parents and Ryder. They were all staring at her with their mouths open.

I was so close, and I let her slip through my fingers. Zoe continues her story, completely unaware of my self-reproach. “I had another dream before I woke you up last night. This one was the scariest. I was walking home from work. I think I was living in the early nineteen-hundreds or something because of the way I spoke and thought. Anyway, I was walking home from work at the sewing factory when Lucifer stopped in front of me. Just like before, I remember thinking that he was very beautiful with his dark hair and eyes. But there was something not right about him. I don’t know what it was, but something inside me told me that he wasn’t there to be friendly. When I asked him what he wanted, h

Lucas coughed. “Technically…” Zoe placed a hand on his arm. “I’ve got this.” She stepped forward again. Kelly looked furious now. Zoe smiled politely. “Hi, Kelly.” Kelly glared at her. “What?” Zoe extended her hand. “Nice to meet you.” Kelly didn’t take it. Zoe’s smile didn’t fade. “I’m Zoe.” Her silver eyes flashed slightly. “Your Luna.” Behind her, Zack growled softly—this time in approval.

Zoe was almost a full-time employee and simultaneously juggled her school work, job, and social life, but I was a selfish bastard, and I wasn’t ashamed to admit it. Halfway through the float, I noticed Zoe pass out in her tube. I made the stupid mistake of freaking out, which led to her friend Brianna putting me on blast about watching Zoe all day. Fucking bitch. If looks could kill, then I’d have a fucking bullet in my head from how Elijah glared at me. I looked away from him and found a small rock formation fascinating. I refused to meet Elijah’s eyes, knowing he had put me on notice about his girlfriend only an hour ago. I couldn’t help it. Something inside of me wanted to protect her and

Her dress was layered with lace and, of course, glitter. Zoe Romano. Zach and Krystal’s daughter. A miniature mix of two people who had no business reproducing but somehow created walking chaos. Zoe waved enthusiastically. “Hi, Auntie!” Before I could reply, she bent slightly and did a full split. In the middle of the kitchen. Chin up, proud as ever. I stared, fighting a grin. “You always greet people with acrobatics, Zoe?” “Sometimes I do flips too. But you look cool, so a split’s enough.”
