Tragédia

Je m’appelle Amanda Hayes, 24 ans, et ma vie a basculé le jour où j’ai signé ce contrat. Tout a commencé par un stage chez Black Industries, l’entreprise la plus prestigieuse de Londres. J’étais fière, naïve, convaincue que c’était ma chance. Mais le premier jour, j’ai entendu une conversation que je n’aurais jamais dû surprendre : des noms, des chiffres, des menaces, des mots comme « cartel », « livraison », « accident propre ». J’ai voulu m’enfuir, mais Cameron Black le PDG, 32 ans, 1m93 de glace et de danger m’a coincée dans son bureau du 67e étage. Il savait que j’avais tout entendu. Il m’a tendu deux contrats : un NDA blindé, et un second… qui me liait à lui, corps et âme, 24h/24. Obéissance totale. Disponibilité immédiate. En échange, il effaçait le risque que je représente. Refuser ? Un « accident » pour moi, et peut-être pour ma famille. J’ai signé, les mains tremblantes, parce que j’avais peur. Parce que je n’avais pas le choix. Depuis, je vis dans une cage dorée qu’il appelle « protection ». Un appartement luxueux qu’il m’a imposé, une garde-robe qu’il a choisie, une surveillance constante. Je sais qu’il est un chef mafieux. Et pourtant, quand il me touche, quand il me protège avec une possessivité qui me terrifie et m’enflamme, je ne sais plus où est la limite entre la peur et le désir. Il dit que je suis en danger à cause de secrets que je ne comprends pas encore. Mais chaque jour, je sens que je m’enfonce plus profondément dans son monde sombre, dans ses bras qui me serrent trop fort, dans ce contrat qui n’est plus seulement sur le papier.

Lima tahun aku menikah dengan Tritan Wirajaya, salah satu miliarder yang namanya tercatat di daftar sepuluh besar Forbes. Sementara aku? Aku hanyalah istri bayangan, seorang mahasiswi yang sebentar lagi akan lulus, nyaris tak pernah dikenal publik. Aku selalu menenangkan diriku sendiri. “Tak apa. Status Nyonya Wirajaya tak penting. Selama ada cintanya… biarlah identitasku tetap tersembunyi. Publik tahu atau tidak, itu bukan masalah.” Namun kenyataan menamparku ketika cinta pertamanya kembali dari luar negeri. Baru kusadari, pernikahan kami… hanyalah sekadar selembar kertas bernama akta nikah. Rasa yang kusebut cinta… mungkin sepenuhnya sepihak dariku. Akhirnya, kuletakkan sebuah surat cerai di hadapannya. Kusamarkan sebagai berkas kuliah yang butuh tanda tangannya. Tanpa curiga, dia menorehkan namanya, dan pada detik itu, pernikahan kami resmi berakhir. Sikap acuhnya saat menandatangani berkas itu, sama persis dengan caranya memperlakukanku selama lima tahun, dingin, tanpa hati. Tak ada cinta di antara kami. Maka aku memutuskan untuk mengejar kebebasanku sendiri. Namun ketika akta cerai itu mulai berlaku, yang kumiliki bukan hanya diriku sendiri… tapi juga janin kecil yang tengah kukandung. Hanya saja, entah kenapa… saat aku meninggalkannya sejauh mungkin, ke tempat yang tangannya tak bisa jangkau… barulah dia sadar. Baru dia mengerti apa yang hilang dari hidupnya, seorang wanita yang mencintainya sepenuh hati, dan juga ahli warisnya sendiri! Saat akhirnya kembali menemukanku, meminta untuk memulai dari awal… Aku sudah berubah. Aku sudah dewasa. Aku sudah mandiri. Aku memiliki karier dan hidupku sendiri. Aku bukan lagi wanita yang hanya hidup berputar di sekitar cinta semata. Dan kini, dia berlutut di hadapanku, memohon cintaku, memohon agar aku kembali…

Laurens Leben wurde auf den Kopf gestellt, als ihr erwählter Gefährte von zehn Jahren sie für seine Schicksalsgefährtin verließ. Eine Gefährtin, die ihn einst für einen mächtigeren Alpha abgewiesen hatte. Mit ihrer Rückkehr in ihr Leben wurde Lauren alles genommen und sie blieb mit nichts zurück. Gebrochen und niedergeschlagen ging sie fort, unfähig den verzehrenden Schmerz des Verrats zu ertragen. Die Umstände zwangen sie zur Rückkehr, und sie fand einen unerwarteten Verbündeten in Alpha Sebastian. Ein Mann, der gleichermaßen gefürchtet wie verehrt wurde. Ein König ohne Thron, der sowohl über die Menschen- als auch die Wolfswelt herrschte. Er war außerdem der Erzfeind ihres ehemaligen Gefährten. Ihre Verbindung war ungewöhnlich. Er war zu kalt und sie entsprach nicht seinem Typ. Liebe stand nicht auf ihrer Agenda. Warum durchfuhr sie dann dieses Kribbeln, wenn er sie als seine bezeichnete? Und warum sah er sie an, als wäre sie seine Erlösung? Es stellte sich heraus, dass ihre Feinde ihre geringste Sorge war. Nicht wenn die wahre Gefahr im Feuer lag, das zwischen ihnen entfacht. Das Feuer, das sie in Liebe und Leidenschaft entflammen oder sie zerstören konnte. Hinweis: Dieses Buch ist eine Zwei-in-Eins-Ausgabe.

"You keep saying he died of black magic, but you're not telling me exactly how he died. If what you're saying is true... what happened to him??" I ask her with a raise of my brows. "The magic consumed him. He became power hungry. He started absorbing the powers from members of our coven. He wanted it all for himself. He had to be put down. He had to be stopped" She explains "Mom, what are you saying? Are you insinuating what I think you are? What do you mean he had to be put down??" The windows to her room bang open and cool breeze is rushing in, making the papers in her room fly haphazardly. "Layla, you have to calm down." She motions towards me. "So the coven killed him?? They killed my father and you didn't do anything about it????" I scream at the top of my lungs, the lights still flickering, tears pooling in my eyes and wind blowing in through the windows. "He killed two people from our coven! His eyes were completely black! The magic had completely taken over him. Your dad wasn't there anymore. So yes, we killed him to protect the rest of the coven…"
