Novel & Cerita Caraval Stephanie Garber

stephan parked in front of the hotel. It was crowded with people in pretty dresses and dark suits, and they were slowly making their way inside to the main hall. There was a marble fountain, and several parked cars outside, and stephan stopped as close as he could to a red car. They got out, and stephan took parsley by the arm and introduced her to his mother, Hannah. It was her red car. "Hello, my dear!" she said, flinging her arms around them both. "stephan, you look so handsome! And so pretty, parsley!" She smiled. Took a swig of wine.

She scanned the road, hoping to spot a cab, but there was none, so she pressed forward, walking despite the complaints from her feet. The afternoon sun began to fade on her when, at last, a cab appeared, drawing to a stop beside her. The driver leaned out the window, squinting his eyes at her. “Aren’t you one of Jace’s inner circle?” he asked, recognizing her instantly. “What are you doing all the way out here?” Stephanie didn’t answer. She pulled the door open and slid in quickly, and turned her face away. The man hesitated, sensing her mood, before clearing his throat. “Where to?”

Blair had called Aaron for help, since it was still hard for Calvin to walk on his own without doubling over in pain due to the wound on his stomach. “You are the one who sent out invitations for the announcement party on your side, right?” Blair heard Calvin ask as she was busy shoving his stuff in a shoulder bag. She knew the purpose behind the question. They still had not found out who it was, who got Stephanie that card. Each and every card had a different code so there was no chance of them being copied. It only meant one thing, someone deliberately gave it to Stephanie. “I was caught up in some work so it was Mr. Park who did it. Why are you asking that?”

When she stopped beside me, she reached out naturally, letting her fingertips rest lightly against my forearm. It was such a familiar gesture, it was the one she had used countless times before except that it made my skin crawl now. I remembered another hand. Eric's trembling hands as he struggled to breathe beneath my grip. I remembered Marianne, the reports, the fabricated confession, the staged suicide. Every smile Stephanie gave me now carried another person's blood. Yet, I smiled back. If anyone had entered the room, they would have believed two lovers were quietly reconciling after an argument. Only I knew every smile was another layer of the trap tightening around her.

She broke away from our gaze and my eyes followed her until I could no longer see her…my heart was breaking more and more as I listen attentively to the wheels of her travel bag fade away from me… CARA’S P.O.V I knew that his heart was breaking but so mine. My tears burnt as I walked down the staircases as rolled my bag towards the door. Flashback memories haunted me of the first day when I rolled this same bag inside this mansion which was also the first day that I set eyes on Xander. Who would have guessed back then that I would fall in love…with my father’s murderer!!! With this thought, I found the courage to open the door but as I took a step out of the mansion I felt as if I was leavin

Stephan's face remained a mask of indifference, his dark eyes glinting with skepticism as he regarded Sylvia, his silence speaking volumes. But it was really his driver's fault, Okay? The car stopped. Sylvia opened the car door and got out of the car, she saw an unfamiliar lady standing outside. She had the aura of a rich young mistress. She was also beautiful and elegant. She stopped and looked at her, the lady was also looking at her with an unfriendly expression. "Brother Stephan" The lady called and ran towards Stephan but he avoided her. She almost fell down because of his avoidance. Fortunately, she steady herself in time.

Nothing more. But the emptiness stung. The knowledge that her fairy tale princess wedding was over because of her step mother's ego and love of money and her husband unfeeling and unforgiving to her. The baby kicked, making her let out a thunderous growl, her hand smacking against the stomach. A life is growing in her, healthy. She turned her weight, tugging at the light cardigan on her shoulders and set out in the parking lot direction. The second she stepped out, a familiar voice cut through the air.

It’s trapped somewhere between embarrassment, confusion, and the way Lucas looked at me earlier like I was something he didn’t know how to handle. The library is quiet. Peaceful. Predictable. The kind of place where emotions are supposed to stay muted. Then I feel it. That familiar rush of chaotic energy that only one person in my life carries. “Marcella!” I flinch slightly and look up. Stephanie is weaving through the tables, eyes bright, steps hurried, excitement written all over her face. She’s smiling so hard it’s ridiculous. A few students glance up, annoyed by the noise, but she doesn’t care.
