Substitute

I gave Caius everything—my loyalty, my body, my devotion. I was his substitute Luna, but when his true Luna returned, I was discarded like a mistake. I told him I was carrying his child. He called me a liar. What followed was not rejection—it was brutality. Left broken, abused, and murdered by the woman I replaced, I thought death was the end. I was wrong. Azrael—Caius’s half-brother, a feared hybrid who bends black magic to his will—offered me a second chance. In return, I must free his wolf. Desperate to make everyone who wronged me pay, I struck a deal with the hybrid who wields forbidden sorcery…a darkness that will either consume me or forge me into someone feared.

Tu n'es personne...juste une substitute.. Alessia Bianchi avait un cerveau qui valait des millions et un cœur qui valait encore moins aux yeux de Leonardo Conti. Personne ne savait ce qu'elle était vraiment. Aux yeux de tous, elle n'était que l'épouse discrète, sans histoire, sans ambition. Chercheuse en biotechnologies sur le point de déposer un brevet révolutionnaire, elle a cru que l'aimer suffirait. Elle a rangé ses dossiers, avalé ses « vitamines » en réalité des contraceptifs et s'est effacée. Cinq ans plus tard, Olivia Greco refait surface. Leonardo, sans un regard, lui annonce froidement : « Divorçons. Tu n'as jamais été autre chose que son substitut. » Elle part sans une larme, emportant ses données. Lui ne perd pas une seconde : il avait épousé la chercheuse, pas la femme. Des années après, Alessia signe un rachat à huit chiffres avec un laboratoire américain. Le monde découvre alors qui elle est vraiment. Mais un autre homme guette depuis l'ombre. Matteo De Luca, héritier d'un empire pharmaceutique, n'a jamais voulu seulement le brevet. Il la veut, elle. Plus riche, plus puissant, plus patient que Leonardo, il dépose une offre que personne n'oserait refuser : un mariage qui ferait d'elle la femme la plus influente du secteur. Leonardo, soudainement pris d'un désespoir très opportun, change de disque : « Divorcer ? Impossible. Tant que je n'ai pas signé, tu es ma femme. Pour la vie. » Mais entre un mari qui l'a trahie et un milliardaire qui la courtise, Alessia n'a plus besoin de choisir. Pour la première fois, c'est elle qu'on convoite. Et ça n'a pas de prix.

My gentle eldest brother, who had once rescued me from my so-called abusive parents, raises his hand and slaps me across the face. "Cynthia, you're actually pretending to have a terminal illness just to compete with Sarah for our affection? And you came to this kind of place to frighten us?"

"Are you trying to fake being sick to get our attention after seeing that Sarah is in poor health? "Just cut the act. You've been living in luxury since childhood and have always been in perfect health. How could you possibly be ill?" Sarah Crawford speaks up thoughtfully, "Don't blame her, you two.
