Anne Rice Novel

During our New Year’s Eve dinner, I told my family that my company was not giving out year-end bonuses. The table went silent. Even the TV host counting down to midnight suddenly sounded grating. My husband and daughter slammed the table in frustration. “No year-end bonus?! How are we supposed to pay the mortgage and the car loan? I didn’t marry you so you could live off me!” “Other moms either buy designer bags or send money. You’re the most useless one. You can’t even bring home a $100,000 bonus.” My in-laws sat there with dark looks on their faces and said nothing. I looked at their self-righteous faces and felt a lump in my throat. All these years, every expense in this family was paid with the money I earned from late nights, overtime, and project commissions. But all they could see was the $100,000 bonus I did not bring home. “If you can’t make any money, then get out!” My husband grabbed my arm and pushed me toward the door. My daughter was not satisfied and kicked me on the lower back. I did not turn around. I took out my phone and booked the presidential suite at a downtown five-star hotel. My bank account had just received a $1 million dividend payout. It was true that I did not get a year-end bonus. But I got promoted to management. From this day onward, I would receive $1 million in dividends every year.

Prologue 🖤 Ulric Ulric est l’ombre dans la lumière, l’homme qu’on craint autant qu’on désire. Il porte la colère dans les veines et l’amour dans les silences. Il est brutal, possessif, jaloux — mais loyal. Son regard transperce, sa voix impose. Il aime comme il vit : avec excès, sans retour en arrière. Quand il aime Julianne, il devient vulnérable, presque humain. Il tuerait pour elle, mais il ne sait pas toujours l’aimer sans la blesser. Ulric est un roi maudit, perdu entre son trône de sang et sa soif d’amour pur. --- 🌺 Julianne Julianne est une rose élevée parmi les épines. Douce en apparence, mais imprévisible quand on la trahit. Elle a été donnée à un homme, Ulric, comme une offrande — mais elle s’est transformée en feu sacré. Mère, femme, amante, stratège... Julianne porte tout à la fois. Elle a souffert, beaucoup. Mais elle n’a jamais abandonné son cœur. Elle aime avec dignité, se défend avec fierté, et rêve encore malgré les cicatrices. Elle est le secret d’Ulric, sa lumière, son châtiment et son salut. --- 💔 Leur amour L’amour entre Ulric et Julianne est un champ de bataille parfumé. Rien n’est simple. Rien n’est doux. C’est un amour de coups d’éclat, de silence lourd, de cris dans la nuit et de promesses non dites. Ils s’aiment comme deux flammes rivales : attirées, consumées, ravagées. Ils ne savent pas vivre ensemble sans se heurter, mais ne savent pas exister l’un sans l’autre. Leur amour est maudit, mais sacré. Il est à la fois poison et remède. Ce n’est pas un conte de fées — c’est une guerre sainte entre deux âmes trop fortes pour renoncer.

I was the company's top sales performer, but I never clocked in or out, and I rarely showed my face at the office. Two-thirds of the employees had never even met me. Yet somehow, I single-handedly dominated the sales numbers, outperforming everyone else and propelling us to the number one spot in the industry. Then came the day they handed out year-end bonuses. Jeffrey Young, the new sales director, fired me on the spot, claiming it was bad luck that I stepped into the building with my left foot first. When I demanded to know what gave him the right, he sneered at me with pure contempt. "Because I'm going to be the future owner of this company! You just got lucky landing a few big clients, and that was all thanks to the company's existing customer base anyway!" He continued, "Let me tell you something... Kieran Campbell, whoever the company gives resources to, becomes the top seller!" I could not help but laugh. All they saw was that I never clocked in, but they never saw me out there day and night, running around to maintain those client relationships. The truth was, in this industry, clients were loyal to me personally, not to the company's brand. I pulled out my phone and called my wife, Melanie Gardner. "When did you get yourself another husband behind my back?"

A girl's love so deep? It appeared it was true love at the beginning. She was determined to do everything possible to get what she wanted. Her friends ridiculed her. Society mocked her. But she did not give up. "True love?" I often asked myself. But I had no answers to my questions. It took me quite a long time to define her true intentions. One night, she visited. "Let's try it," she proposed that night. I felt her warm breath as she whispered. Her wild expectations coupled with anxiety was making her heart beat very fast. It was a quiet night, and the light was dim in the room. That was the first time she spent the night with me. I was determined not to have any affair with her. I was a novice, and I believed she was not though many people in the community including her family believed she was a virgin. A feeling I could not define thrilled through me when she spoke. "A test or she mean it?" I asked silently. We have often talked about staying chaste till the appropriate time, the time we are sure to get married, so why was she proposing that we try it? I brushed off that thought and began thinking about how I was going to go about it if she really meant it. I had no experience in satisfying a woman in bed. "Did you hear me?" she asked. And before I could say anything, I felt a kiss on my right cheek. The man in me responded to the touch. But before I could act on my feelings, I remembered grandma's prediction about us. "Are we really going to get married someday?" I asked silently . . . Happy reading!

My husband's beloved lover suffered from menstruation complications. A traveling doctor claimed that a fresh placenta was needed to cure her. His gaze fixated on my seven-months-pregnant baby bump. And thus, I was pinned down on the bed as they ripped the placenta from my body. My son was carelessly tossed aside. He didn't even get the chance to cry before his tiny body fell silent forever. My husband pinched his nose in disgust, frowning as he looked at me—bleeding out, feebly reaching for my child. “It’s just a premature baby. He'll be fine after a few days of care. Why are you making such a fuss? Sandra is waiting for her medicine." He left and locked the door behind him without looking back. He claimed it was a lesson I needed to learn. By the time he finally remembered us, my son and I had long since bled dry, our bodies cold and stiff.
