Se connecterWhen Vera Collins caught her boyfriend in bed with her best friend, her world shattered. She ran from heartbreak straight into the arms of a stranger — a man who would soon change her life forever. That man turned out to be Lance Lancelot, the cold, powerful CEO of Lancel Group. When he offered her a two-year contract marriage worth 100 million dollars, she accepted — not for love, but to fund her dream of building a hospital. But falling in love was never part of the deal. When his girlfriend returned, Vera was cast aside and left broken once again. Years later, fate reunites them — this time, Lance lies in a coma, and the only one who can save him is the woman he once let go. Now, the question is — Will Vera heal him… or walk away for good?
Voir plus***The office was quiet that evening. Most of the employees had left hours ago, leaving only the hum of the air conditioning and the faint click of my keyboard as I typed the final notes for the day. I was about to pack up when I felt it — that familiar weight of someone’s presence.“Vera,” Lance’s voice cut through the silence. Calm. Controlled. Commanding.I froze mid-type, my fingers hovering above the keys. My heart beat faster, and I suddenly felt exposed. “Yes?” I called, forcing my voice to sound steady.He stepped closer, leaning lightly against the edge of my desk. That signature smirk tugged at the corner of his lips, though his eyes were serious. “Do you have a moment?”I nodded, unsure why my throat felt so dry. “Of course.”He took a deep breath, as though preparing to drop a bomb. “What I’m about to propose… it’s not usual. Not for a businesswoman like you. And not for someone like me.”I raised an eyebrow. “That’s… ominous,” I said, trying to keep my tone casual, though
Lost Love ***For the past few days, Lance had been absent from the office, and I hadn’t seen him even once. Not that I would admit it out loud, but I missed him terribly. Every morning felt incomplete without the echo of his presence, without the subtle way he passed by, brushing past me, making the air around us electric without even trying.I tried to focus on my work, on the endless spreadsheets, meetings, and files stacked neatly on my desk, but no matter how hard I tried, my thoughts always drifted to him.And I didn’t just miss him. I craved him.***I fantasized about him — about the way he looked when he was serious, commanding in his tailored suits, every inch of him radiating power and control. But my fantasies weren’t about business. No, they were far more intimate.I wanted him to hold me. To pull me close and let me feel the warmth of his chest against mine. I wanted him to touch me, his hands strong and confident, exploring, claiming, igniting fires I hadn’t even known e
Lance POV continues….The city skyline stretched out below me as the private jet descended. Every light, every shadow, felt like a warning, like fate itself was trying to tell me I wasn’t ready for what I was about to find. But I couldn’t wait any longer. Isabella had ignored my calls, silenced my texts, and completely disappeared into her life abroad. I needed answers.I didn’t call ahead. I didn’t warn her. If she had anything to say for herself, I’d hear it straight from her lips.By the time I arrived at her apartment building, the bass of music thumped through the air, echoing down the hallway. I stepped into the corridor, feeling a tight knot of anticipation in my chest. This… this isn’t going to be easy.Through the half-open door, I saw her. Isabella, laughing with a group of people, drinks in hand, completely unaware that I was standing there. One of the guys next to her had his arm draped across her shoulders in a familiarity that made my chest ache. She glanced at her phone
LANCE POV.The moment I stepped into the private dining room of the Lancel estate, I felt the weight of the air pressing down on me. My parents were already seated — Mr. and Mrs. Lancel, immaculately dressed, their expressions a careful blend of expectation and subtle impatience. The chandelier above cast a harsh glow, highlighting the lines of concern on my mother’s face.“Lance,” my father began, voice calm but firm, “we need to have a serious conversation. Sit down.”I hesitated, then slid into the chair across from them. I knew this was coming. My mother’s hands were folded neatly on the table, and I could see the faint tension in her jaw.“Your father and I have been discussing this for months,” she said, her tone steady but sharp. “You are thirty years old. A brilliant, capable man. And yet…” Her voice trailed, and I already knew what was coming.“Yet what?” I asked, trying to keep my voice neutral, calm, but my chest was tightening.“You are not married,” my father said, leanin
