Marlene Telegram Novels & Stories

Marlene Blackwood was born into wealth, power, and a family that thrives on control. At Blackwood Academy, she is praised as the perfect daughter—beautiful, talented, and untouchable. But behind the luxury and privilege, the Blackwood name hides dark secrets, and Marlene is beginning to realize she’s only a pawn in a dangerous game. Then Ethan La Rosa appears. Cold, mysterious, and fiercely guarded, Ethan doesn’t belong at the academy. He is the kind of man Marlene has been warned to avoid—yet something about him draws her in, like a storm she can’t escape. Ethan’s eyes hold pain, and his silence hides a past filled with blood and betrayal. Ethan didn’t come to Blackwood Academy by chance. He is hunting for answers about his father’s death, and every clue points toward the Blackwood family. But the more he learns, the more he realizes that Marlene is not just connected to the truth—she is the key to it. When Marlene’s father suddenly announces her engagement to a powerful heir, she is shattered. The announcement is not love—it’s a strategic move, a trap meant to strengthen the family’s empire. Marlene is forced to choose between obeying her family or escaping the life that suffocates her. As Marlene and Ethan grow closer, the line between love and danger begins to blur. Their attraction becomes impossible to deny, but trusting him could destroy everything she has ever known. Now, Marlene must decide: Is Ethan her salvation… or her downfall? In a world where power rules and secrets destroy, love may be the most dangerous weapon of all.

Marlene Cole, who has always been a reliable nanny, has called me three times in a row out of panic today. "I got bad news for you, Mr. Spence! The security guard of the kindergarten refuses to let Erin into the kindergarten! "He claims that the name on the student ID is wrong! The ID belongs to a little girl named Jodie! It's not Erin's ID at all!" I look up from the spreadsheet I'm holding, a frown already gracing my features. "Marlene, wasn't Harper the one who gave you the ID last night?" Marlene sounds like she's about to burst into tears from panic. "She did! But the scanner shows that Jodie Holmes is the ID owner! The security guard says that we've gotten the wrong ID, so now he's interrogating me!" That's odd. Half a year ago, I've pulled a few strings just so I can enroll my daughter, Erin Spence, into Starry Kindergarten, known as the most prestigious kindergarten in the city. In fact, I have to sponsor the kindergarten 300 thousand dollars in order to secure a slot for Erin. Over the month, my wife, Harper Gilmore, has always been the one driving Erin to school every day. Today, Harper claims that she can't take Erin to school because she needs to pull overtime shifts at her company, so she has instructed Marlene to do so. But how is it possible that Erin's student ID now shows another name when it's Marlene's turn to take her to the kindergarten?

My mother-in-law, Mabel Grath, always liked me to arrange family trips. But she only transferred a small fraction of the cost. She called it a “deposit.” “I’m just following what you young people do with deposits. It’s not like I’m going to skip out on the rest.” After the trip, however, she never mentioned the rest of the payment again. I did not really mind. I quietly paid out of my own pocket for five-star hotels and luxury meals every time. Then one day, my husband’s sister, Marlene Grath, dropped a sarcastic comment in the family group chat. “Noelle Frost loves playing travel agent with my mom’s retirement money. “For all we know, she’s signing us up for cut-rate shopping tours and skimming the kickbacks.” Mabel replied with a smirking emoji. It seemed she was silently agreeing with her daughter. My heart sank. Over the years, I had taken them on trips all over the country and abroad. I had covered at least 100,000 dollars out of my own pocket. Yet, I still ended up looking like the one taking advantage of them. Mabel transferred four hundred dollars to me again and asked me to arrange a seven-day tour to Erope. So, I went ahead and booked them a one-day farm stay just outside the city.
