Ariane

She slowly sits down in the armchair, her movements as cautious as those of an injured bird. Her eyes remain cast down, avoiding mine, while her trembling fingers grip the edge of the empty tray she still holds in her hands. Silence settles in, heavy and opaque, almost suffocating. Even the walls seem to hold their breath. There is something invisible, dense in the air, as if every unspoken word carries the weight of an ancient pain.

— Forced to marry? I whisper, my voice barely audible, as if speaking too loudly could make her disappear. I... I'm sorry, Angèle. You had no choice?

She shakes her head very slowly. A sad smile appears on her pale lips, but it does not reach her eyes. Those, a piercing blue, remain drowned in unfathomable melancholy. Then, finally, she raises her gaze. There is in her eyes a pain long held back, that of a woman who has learned to suffer in silence.

— No, she murmurs. My father sold my hand like one sells land, a property exchanged. He wanted to se

    Ariane — Let’s go then! We leave her room, my heart still beating a bit too fast, not because of Alex, but because something inside me tells me that this evening is not going to end well. I have that bad feeling clinging to me like a dark mist. We descend the spiral staircase to join the others in the large dining room. As soon as we cross the threshold, I feel my blood run cold. She is there. A woman. Beautiful, even sublime. Too beautiful. She stands tall, legs crossed, dressed in a perfectly fitted black dress that hugs her curves like a second skin. Soft, flawless skin, with a predator’s gaze. She is the kind of woman you rarely encounter, but you never forget. And right away, I know: I don’t like her. She has the look of those black widows who weave their webs in silence and devour everything in their path. My gaze hardens despite myself. I can feel hostility burning in my throat, like a fire I’m struggling to contain. Alex speaks up, with a charming smile: — Mi

  • Fatal Attraction    Chapter 37: Arrival in Russia

    ArianeHe is like Auracio.He takes me with such intensity that I don’t even have time to breathe. My body is at his mercy; he lifts my leg and places it on his shoulder, aiming for a precise angle like a marksman. And he hits… the bullseye. Again, again. My ship capsizes in a landslide of swirling emotions. I feel devoured, consumed, dominated. And I love it.Our breaths intertwine, panting, our half-closed lips sketch a smile of satisfaction. Exhaustion sweeps us away. Stuck together, we fall asleep in the warmth of our shared pleasure. At peace. A rare moment of truce.---The next morning, departure preparation day, I wake up with a strange sensation. My calf is pinned down by a heavy weight. I open my eyes halfway, grouchy, and start to push away what seems to be… a trunk? A big log? What is this? I push harder; it moves.“Stop pushing me, you’re going to make me fall out of bed!” groans a hoarse, sleepy voice.I open my eyes wide. Auracio. Lying across the bed, curled up at the

    ArianeShe keeps her mouth open. Frozen. Confused by the sweet tone he uses with me.I smile. Triumphant.She doesn’t understand anything about what’s unfolding before her eyes.— Yes, you should learn your place, you filthy bitch. Here, I’m the boss.I turn slowly towards him, like in a movie, my hand sliding on his collar, until I caress his neck with my fingertips. He barely shivers, imperceptibly, but I feel it.— Baby… What are we drinking tonight? I whisper, innocent, falsely naïve.— What do you want to drink, my angel? he replies, already caught up in the game.I adopt that spoiled little girl look that I love so much. No, not for him. For her. For Ariane. I want her to see. To understand. I am the baby, the queen, the beating heart of this boss she thought she could still seduce. And he… he returns it to me so well.He looks at me with that glimmer of pride, that need to put me on a pedestal. And I love it. I crave it.I am like that, excessive, theatrical, insolent. And I ha

    Ariane— I do not intend to lose my money, she said firmly, placing her manicured hands on the glass table. I do not invest my money just anywhere. So listen carefully: every December 20th, I will transfer your profits… if you accept my conditions.Philippe stares at her, suspicious.— And what are your conditions? he asks, his voice full of distrust.— For each investment, I take 45% of the profits. On December 20th, every year. Is that clear?Marco, shocked, widens his eyes.— Forty-five percent? Why so much? You just accepted 37% for your darling!Ariane glares at him.— Are you an idiot or what? You just said “my darling”! Do you think I will apply the same percentages to my baby as to you? He is my man. You are partners. The difference is huge.AuracioWhen she says that… oh my. They’ve lost me. She catches me with just one word. Just one word and I’m hers. My heart pounds. I try to keep my composure, but inside, I’m melting. How does she manage to make me miss her even when she’

    ArianeI look at him. His eyes are closed, his breath still uneven, lost in the ecstasy of what we just experienced. Lying on the wrinkled sheets, he resembles a teenager who has just discovered carnal pleasures for the first time. His relaxed, almost innocent face contrasts with the raw power he usually exudes. He seems young, vulnerable, blossoming… and all of this is thanks to me. This satisfaction I read in his eyes is my work. A proud smile forms on my lips. Yes, I am proud. Proud to make him feel this way, to bring a man as powerful as him to his knees.AuracioDamn… this woman is going to be the death of me.She is perfect. Too perfect. Every gesture, every word, every sigh from her makes me more addicted. She is a sweet poison, a fire that I let consume me. Ariane is not just the woman I desire; she is the one I have always waited for. Her strength, her boldness, her sensuality. She is my soulmate, I am sure of it. No matter the world around us, when I am with her, it disappea
