Say you don't want my hands roaming up and down your thighs like before, Freya. Tell me you don't want to relive those memories again with me..." The closer he got, the more harder my nipples got.

Will Freya's thirst for vengeance be quenched? or will Ethan trying to gain custody of their child now by nook and cranny be her greatest battle yet?

Corine vit entourée de spirales : sur les murs de son atelier, dans ses carnets, sur les tissus qu’elle manipule. Ces formes, d’abord abstraites, deviennent des indices. À la mort de son père, elle découvre un carnet scellé, une spirale dessinée, une phrase énigmatique. Ce fil la mène vers une boîte oubliée, une carte annotée, un jardin qui n’existe que dans les souvenirs fragmentés d’un homme qu’elle croyait connaître. À travers une narration éclatée, faite de fragments et de silences, Corine remonte le fil d’une mémoire familiale trouée. Elle interroge les gestes, les absences, les objets, et les voix qui résonnent sous sa peau. Dans cette quête, elle vit aussi l’amour — discret, profond, tissé entre les lignes — qui l’aide à entendre ce que son corps n’a jamais su dire. Corine, fragments d’une obsession est un roman psychologique et intimiste, une traversée intérieure où chaque trace devient une voix, chaque spirale une carte, et chaque silence une réponse possible.
