Après Le Divorce

Si vous et la femme que votre mari n'a jamais pu oublier aviez un accident de voiture en même temps, qui est-ce qu'il sauverait ? Quand Étienne Dupont a pris dans ses bras la femme qu'il n'a jamais pu oublier et qu'il est parti, Adèle Caron, avec la vie qui s'échappait d'elle, a perdu non seulement son enfant, mais aussi son cœur. Par un simple échange, Adèle avait réussi à épouser l'homme qu'elle aimait plus que tout. Tout le monde savait que ce mariage, elle l'avait arraché — en brisant l'union entre Étienne et la femme dans son cœur. Elle croyait qu'avec le temps, il finirait par voir son cœur, qu'un jour il se retournerait enfin vers elle. Jusqu'à ce qu'elle enterre de ses propres mains l'enfant qu'elle portait depuis trois mois. Ce jour-là, elle s'est réveillée. « Divorçons. » Un simple papier, et tout était réglé. Trois mois plus tard, parmi les robes éclatantes et les visages souriants, elle est montée sur scène pour recevoir un prix. L'homme l'a regardée, surpris, puis a déclaré calmement à ceux qui l'entouraient : « Oui, c'est ma femme. » « Ta femme ? » Adèle a esquissé un sourire et lui a tendu le contrat de divorce : « Désolée, Monsieur Dupont, c'était ex-femme. » L'homme, d'ordinaire si froid et impassible, a perdu le contrôle. Les yeux rougis, la voix tremblante : « Quelle ex-femme ? Je n'ai jamais reconnu ce mot ! »

"I, Nikolai Kensington, will make you so rich, you'll walk on money. I'll place you above your enemies and make them worship at your feet. You'll no longer be known as the timid Adira, but you'll become known as one of the most powerful women in the country." Those were the words that changed Adira's life forever. Adira Ravenswood was heartbroken when Lancelot divorced her to be with his second lover. They had been friends from childhood, so she had loved him so dearly and didn't know how to move on without him. While Lancelot was from a very rich home, Adira was very poor, and she felt that was part of the reasons he had quit the marriage. Everyone ridiculed her, Lancelot's mother froze her accounts so she couldn't have access to the money she had gotten from him. Adira's own family mocked and looked down on her. They said she could never amount to anything. Adira was broken and dejected and was at the verge of taking her life when the most powerful, but cold-hearted man in the country showed up and offered her a juicy proposal - one that would make her trample on every single person that's ever hurt her. But it came with a condition - a condition that was very easy, yet so difficult.

“You wicked woman! You dare kidnap my daughter?" He growled, gripping her small wrist tight. Samantha squirmed, “You're mistaken, Sir, the child is not yours but mine!” “You dare say that again? Then explain the resemblance between us?” He retorted with raw hatred. Taken aback, all the color drained from Samantha’s face upon the realization he was right. How the hell did she overlook that? No, how the hell was it possible that he was the father of her child! ~~~~~~ It was an unspoken secret that Samantha's twin sister committed a grave sin in her marriage, thus Samantha became her sister’s substitute to bury that infidelity. However, on their 3rd wedding anniversary, Samantha discovers her husband’s infidelity. But that wasn't enough reason for her to -divorce him because she didn't want her daughter fatherless. But one act, one single act almost cost her life and that of her child and Samantha declared defeat, serving Zeke Frost the divorce papers, and left without looking back but with promises to revenge! However, fate had another path in store for her when she encountered the devil himself; Dalton Montclair. The most gorgeous man in the world and the youngest bachelor in the city. He's ruthless, he's got the looks, money, and fame. But what more? He's got a striking resemblance with her son!

I had anemia, so getting pregnant was not easy for me. My husband and I tried for ten years, and we finally had a son. When our son turned eight, he got into a car accident. The doctor said that he needed a blood transfusion, but his blood type was A. Both my husband and I were type O. My husband started to suspect that the child was not his and did a paternity test right away. The result showed that the boy really was not his son. I could not believe it and asked for another test, but the result was the same. My mother-in-law accused me of cheating and called me horrible names. My husband asked for a divorce and told me to leave with nothing except my son. We were kicked out of the house and ended up living in a cave in the mountains. A sudden rainstorm caused a landslide, and my son and I were buried alive inside. After I died, my spirit stayed near my husband. I heard him talking on the phone. “Don’t worry. I made her leave with nothing. We’ll get our marriage certificate tomorrow.” It turned out he had been seeing another woman for a while and had planned everything to make me leave with nothing except my son. What I could not figure out was how he managed to fake the paternity test in front of everyone. Luckily, I returned to the past. I woke up on the day of my son’s car accident.

Karimba Cellon is a thirty-year-old billionaire, the only son of tycoon Mark Cellon. When he was young, Karimba witnessed his stepmother, Janet Cellon, causing a fatal car accident, which led to him developing a fear of women. Later, for business interests, he was forced to marry Alley Houston, a woman he didn't love. Alley Houston is the esteemed daughter of the Houston lineage, known for being the most renowned scientists in the world. Alley, on the other hand, suffers from multiple personality disorder since the death of her twin sister. Coincidentally, her twin sister, Lily Houston, was a victim of a car accident caused by Karimba Cellon's stepmother. Two individuals who seemed unlikely to ever come together start falling in love after countless misunderstandings. Will the plots orchestrated by Janet Cellon and Brenda Mclean, her niece, along with the emergence of a second personality within Alley Houston's body, prevent them from being together? And what crimes will be revealed and exposed to the light?

One year ago, my sister pushed me down the stairs and killed my unborn baby. However, instead of mourning his own child, my husband chose to bring the murderer into our home. With her crocodile tears and fake kindness, she successfully moved in and bit by bit pushed me out of existence. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse, she got pregnant. And that man — the same man who stood coldly by when I suffered the miscarriage — promised my sister he would raise her baby like his own.

When I was 18 years old, Luigi Conti, the craziest heir of the Conti family, pulled out a gun at an auction and executed the Don of the Serra family. That man happened to be my foster father, also the one who had me auctioned away as though I were a slave. When he was being dragged toward the armored car by the military police, he kept laughing like mad despite having blood streaking down his face. "Why must I atone for my sins? Since God refuses to save you, let me be your savior! From now on, no one in Sandalay has the guts to clip your wings anymore, my darling Isabella!" Seven years later, Luigi gets released from prison. He looks at me as I wash dishes for a living in the slums before snuffing out the cigar trapped between his fingers. That night, Luigi returns to his family and steals the position of the Don. After we get married, I'm the only person who has the highest access over the vaults under the Conti family. Luigi even forcibly expands the ring that signifies ultimate authority—which has been passed down from generation to generation for a century—and slides it onto my ring finger. He buys half of Sandalay's estates just so he can fill the vineyards with the white grapes I've mentioned in passing. He tells me that his turf is called Isabella. But everything changes when I discover a photo album stashed in a hidden compartment in Luigi's study. All 2,000 photos feature a young woman in a white dress who is reading in the library. That is the female assassin he's planning on training. The woman looks very pure and innocent. She's most suited to conquer certain bigwigs' hearts. But now, it seems that Luigi's the one being conquered by her. When Luigi finds out about my discovery, he throws the photo album into the fireplace and watches it burn in the fire with a stony expression. "I'm just repackaging her so that she can aid me in money laundering. Just pretend you never saw the photo album." I push the signed divorce agreement over to Luigi. "I said, sign the agreement." Frustrated, Luigi pins the divorce agreement on the table with a knife, his expression insanely dark. "Isabella Serra, have you forgotten about the Conti family's rules? There's no such thing as divorce. We can only be widowed."

The Don of the Vito family, Damiano Vito, has broken his wedding vows by cheating on me with the daughter of the rival mafia family, Bianca Sorace, while I'm still pregnant with his heir. He ends up executing Bianca with his own hands in order to reassure me as well as provide my family, the Cappas, with a satisfactory answer. My parents advise me, "Now that Damiano has returned to your side, you mustn't kick up a fuss for the sake of both families' interests." But since then, I've developed an obsession over cleanliness. Any form of physical contact is capable of making me dry-heave out of discomfort. Since I can't take any medication at all, I can only spend my days venting my stress by demanding that everything be disinfected before touching me. Damiano, who's known for having a violent temperament, is willing to keep disinfecting himself repeatedly for my sake. If he needs to make physical contact with me, he'll wear gloves. Whenever he enters my room, he has to change into a biohazard suit. No matter how hot and stuffy it gets under the suit, he doesn't utter a word of complaint. "It's fine. I was the one who broke the wedding vows first, anyway." Finally, the moment I command Damiano to wash his hands yet again, he loses control of himself before me. He even goes so far as to shatter the ashtray right before my eyes. "That's enough! All I did was make the mistake every man is capable of making! Must you humiliate me to this degree? How does that make me a filthy man?" Damiano deliberately allows his subordinates, who are drenched in blood, to throw a party in the estate, thinking that it serves as a punishment for my obsession over cleanliness. He intends to force me to yield to him by threatening the baby in my belly. Thanks to the nonstop aggravation, I feel intense pain flaring from my abdomen. Soon, blood keeps oozing down my inner thighs beneath my skirt. But at the same time, I feel a sense of relief that I've never felt before. "Let's get a divorce, Damiano."

Voici la version simplifiée du texte, conservant l'intensité et l'essentiel de la trame : J'étais enceinte de neuf mois quand le Conseil des Loups a envoyé le rapport de ressources de mon compagnon. Pendant deux ans, mon mari, l'Alpha de la meute, avait secrètement fourni territoire, protection et provisions à la même louve — sans interruption. La première aide datait d'il y a deux ans : le mois où j'avais perdu mon premier enfant. Une notification est apparue : un message de cette louve. « Tu as vu le rapport, n'est-ce pas ? » Je n'ai pas répondu, mais j'ai ouvert son fil. La publication la plus ancienne, datée du 21 avril de cette année-là, montrait une louve appuyée contre un Alpha. Son visage était hors champ, mais la marque d'Alpha sur son épaule — celle de mon mari — était claire. La légende : « Merci de m'avoir choisie la nuit de ma majorité. » Cette nuit-là, je gisais en sang dans la salle de soins, en train de perdre notre petit. Il m'avait dit qu'il était en déplacement pour la meute. Je continue à faire défiler : elle s'entraînait dans les zones réservées aux Alphas, utilisait les ressources de la Luna, était protégée comme si elle était déjà à sa place. Chaque publication rappelait qu'il l'avait choisie. En haut de son fil, un rapport médical : elle était enceinte de l'enfant de l'Alpha. J'ai posé mon appareil et retourné dans notre chambre. Puis elle m'a envoyé photos et vidéos — pour exhiber que l'amour dont je fus fière était pourri jusqu'à l'os. Je me suis assise lentement, mon petit remuant en moi, une douleur au cœur. C'est alors que j'ai compris : il m'avait trahie, entièrement. Je ne veux pas cet amour. Je ne resterai pas dans cette meute. Quand mon petit naîtra, je partirai avec lui, l'héritier de l'Alpha. Qu'il fouille chaque territoire, qu'il mette la meute à feu et à sang dans le regret — il ne nous trouvera jamais.
