A Thousand Years In Piano Notes

L'Étreinte de l'Ombre Anya, pianiste virtuose en quête d'inspiration, hérite du Domaine des Soupirs, un manoir familial où chaque pièce semble retenir le souffle du passé. Dès les premières nuits, les silences résonnent d'accords fantômes et des mélodies inconnues hantent son sommeil, accompagnées de caresses invisibles qui transforment ses rêves en partitions du désir. L'esprit qui habite ces lieux, Lysander, ancien compositeur maudit, se révèle être une présence aussi envoûtante que dangereuse. Prisonnier d'un pacte scellé dans la mort, il ne trouve d'écho dans le monde des vivants qu'à travers les sensations qu'il parvient à susciter chez Anya. Leurs duos nocturnes, d'abord impalpables, deviennent des symphonies charnelles où chaque note de la jeune femme renforce le pouvoir du musicien déchu. Alors que cette liaison surnaturelle atteint son crescendo, Gabriel, chef d'orchestre et premier amour d'Anya, entre en scène. Incarnation de la raison et de la mesure, il représente la stabilité d'une partition écrite, l'amour rassurant qu'elle a fui pour se consacrer à son art. Anya se retrouve déchirée entre : · Lysander, la composition sauvage d'une passion qui défie les lois du temps, au risque de devenir l'instrument de sa propre perte · Gabriel, la partition raisonnable d'un amour terrestre, qui exige de renoncer à la tentation des notes interdites Dans ce concerto à trois voix, le désir devient la clé d'une porte mieux fermée. Anya devra choisir entre interpréter la mélodie du salut ou se laisser emporter par le final envoûtant d'un amour qui pourrait bien sceller son destin à jamais.

« L'amour n'a jamais fait partie du contrat, jusqu'à ce qu'il devienne tout. » Camilla Bianchi était autrefois la meilleure de sa classe, une brillante étudiante en médecine promise à un avenir prometteur, mais sa vie a pris un tournant tragique. Accablée par le cancer de sa grand-mère qui s'aggrave et le coût exorbitant de la chimiothérapie, Camilla jongle entre les quarts de nuit, ses mauvaises notes et sa chance d'obtenir une bourse. Désespérée et noyée dans l'inquiétude, elle se laisse entraîner par sa meilleure amie dans un club pour une nuit d'évasion – une nuit qui manque de tourner au drame. Elle finit dans les bras de Marcello De Luca, un mafieux dangereusement puissant qui lui sauve la vie. Marcello De Luca est un mafieux glacial qui a un héritage à défendre. Son père impitoyable exige une épouse et un héritier, sinon Marcello cédera l'empire De Luca à son frère adoptif intrigant, mais Marcello refuse l'amour jusqu'à ce que Camilla fasse irruption dans son monde. Marcello conclut un marché inattendu. Il paiera le traitement de la grand-mère de Camilla, mais en échange, elle devra passer vingt jours à ses côtés. Si elle refuse ensuite d'être avec lui, elle est libre de partir, mais si elle le souhaite, il l'épousera et lui offrira sa protection. Quatre-vingt-dix jours. Une offre irrésistible. Camilla n'a plus rien à perdre, si ce n'est son cœur. Camilla risquera-t-elle tout pour l'amour et sa famille ? Cédera-t-elle à l'attirance dangereuse qui les unit ? Ou s'éloignera-t-elle avant que l'amour ne devienne son erreur la plus fatale ?

He dropped his hands to the side, stepping away, and he voiced. “I’m not sure about having you fucking countless men, Marianne, unless you have chosen to become a whore who is more than willing to please another man’s dick instead of just pleasing one.” He smiled, pushing his hair from his face. I made the conscious decision not to let his words bother me, as it wasn't worth the stress. I said, which got him annoyed further. “I rather please a thousand dicks than yours. So do what you want to me, but I will never marry you.” He suddenly brought out a gun, playfully staring at it and he hint “Not even in a death and life situation.” He aimed the gun directly at me and I took a bold step by moving to him and I pressed my head against the gun. “Then kill me. It has always been my dream to escape from this nightmare.” I was playing with fire, but I won’t back off until we both get burnt. “Pull the trigger.” I breathe. He breath. Both our eyes locked. ****** Kidnapped and sold to a psychopath, a man who finds solace in seeing her in pain while she grips on her remaining hopes of escaping. Marianne finds herself trapped in this endless nightmare with a man who claims to love her by bringing her pain. ***** Trigger warning; This story is not for light-hearted people. Involves very disturbing sex content.

At the wedding, I immediately recognized that the woman under the veil wasn't Selene, but an impostor. But I still went through with the ceremony as if nothing was wrong. In my previous life, Selene had been forced to return and complete the wedding with me after I exposed the fake bride in front of everyone. That very night, however, her childhood sweetheart was rushed to the ICU with acute alcohol poisoning. When Selene heard the news, she didn't shed a tear. Instead, she cursed him, saying he got what he deserved. … After we married, Selene and I appeared to be a loving couple on the surface. I kept funneling money from my family to save her family business from collapse. But on our first anniversary, my wife—with not even a sliver of warmth in her eyes—tied me to a helicopter with her own hands. "If you hadn't forced me to come back and marry you that day, Chase wouldn't have ended up like that," she snarled. "What right do you have to live so happily? I'll make sure you feel the pain he went through before he died." She threw me from ten thousand yards up, and I hit the ground as nothing more than a broken heap of flesh. So, this time, I pretended to know nothing and went through with the wedding alongside the fake bride. I wanted to see just how Selene would manage to save the crumbling Liraine Co. without the Schreiber family's support.

There's an earthquake. My husband, the captain of the rescue team, abandons me to save Wendy Smith, his true love. I don't stop him. I let him go. Why? Because when he was faced with the same choice in my past life, he saved me because I was eight months pregnant. Meanwhile, Wendy remained trapped under the rubble. She ultimately died due to a lack of oxygen after the delayed rescue. Later, on the day I went into labor, my husband brought me to Wendy's grave. He watched me coldly as I collapsed on the ground from the searing pain. He ignored my pleas. "Does it hurt, Yelena? Wendy's pain was a thousand times worse when she was trapped under the rubble!" I stared at him in disbelief as he descended into insanity. "You were safe that night—you were in the safe triangle zone! Wendy would never have missed the best time for rescue if not for you using your pregnancy to threaten me! I want you to experience all the pain she went through!" He forced me down on my knees and bumped my head on the ground before Wendy's grave. He ignored the blood that flowed down my legs. Ultimately, I died after major blood loss from a difficult labor. When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the day the earthquake happened. This time, neither I nor my child will wait for him.

On my way home from the night shift, a patient who held a grudge against my husband, the hospital director, forced half a bottle of pesticide down my throat. Terrified, I called my husband, Jasper Flint, for help. He rushed over and saved me. I survived by sheer luck. But tragically, his first love, Ruby Gray, died in a car accident on her way home that same night. After Ruby's funeral, Jasper carried on as if nothing had happened. I thought he had finally let her go. But on New Year's Eve, he poisoned our food, tied up my parents and me, and took us hostage. Through tears, I begged him to spare my parents. He killed them right in front of me. Their blood splashed across my face. "If you hadn't been so jealous of Ruby, if you hadn't pretended to drink pesticide just to lure me away, she never would've driven off like that. She'd still be alive!" he snarled. "How does it feel to watch your parents die? When Ruby died, what I felt was a thousand times worse than this! Since you like drinking pesticides so much, go ahead. Drink up!" Jasper forced my mouth open and poured the poison down my throat. I died in agony beside my parents' bodies. And then I opened my eyes—only to find myself reborn alongside Jasper. This time, Jasper chose to save his first love.

A dark and gloomy villa stood in the middle of the barren landscape, hidden from sight by a perched hedge. It was phenomenal and spectacular, but it makes it appear to have succumbed to a sullen and ominous atmosphere, both inside and out. A lanky hedge and gnarled shrubs give off the impression that the house has indeed been overlooked. The rainstorm seeping from the sewer pipes made the place appear miserable and dispirited. Needless to say, the house appeared razed to the ground and devoid of life. The house was made of rune stone that had been smeared darker in spots by downpours, sending it an insidious demeanor even during the day. The window frames were all padlocked and bricked up in steel frames and woods, as if what was inside would have been too grotesque to see, trying to give the impression that someone must have attempted to prevent something horrible from escaping. People have claimed that the residence was plagued by the witch who died there, but there has been no tangible evidence to substantiate their claims. It was even widely speculated that the villa was venomous and mowed down the leaves of trees that come into direct contact with its concrete pillars. People also construed a terrifying presumption that whoever tries to enter the house will never make it out alive because there is something inside that you would never dare to see with your very own eyes. Whatever was real or not, it was unmistakably foreshadowing, exponentially cold and savage at a hundredth of a thousand glances. A breathtaking doll sat competently on a rocking chair inside the house. Waiting complacently for someone brave and heroic enough to unravel the abominable and ghoulish mystery and paradox behind her enchanting, spine-chilling smile.
