Bernard Sampson

“Why didn’t you tell me you are the mother of my kids, Emma?” His countenance is soft but stern. “It was a contract.” My voice falters. He didn’t choose fatherhood. She didn’t choose him. But destiny and betrayal leave them with no choice at all. Billionaire Alexander Willoughby built his empire on control. Then his grandparents stole his DNA to create the heir he never asked for. Betrayed and furious, Alexander vowed never to be manipulated again. Emma Johnson thought the surrogacy contract was simple: carry a baby, save her mother, keep her sister in school, and walk away. She never planned to meet the children she birthed. She never planned to fall in love with them—or with their father. Now, as the nanny to twins Bernard and Bernice, Emma’s secret has exploded. Alexander feels deceived. Emma feels cornered. And circling them both is Sophia, Alexander’s ex and Emma’s stepsister, who is determined to tear them apart and claim the life she thinks she deserves. Neither planned this bond. Neither wanted these stakes. But the twins they share will tie them together in ways neither can escape. When secrets ignite, pride shatters, and desire grows impossible to resist, walking away may no longer be an option. A story of power, betrayal, sacrifice and a love neither of them saw coming.

Dahlia Bernard gave Desmond Sterlings everything, love, loyalty, and a crown he never earned. She picked him from the slums, built him into a CEO, and handed him the keys to her empire. Love blinded her. Desmond repaid her by betraying her, stealing her company, sleeping with multiple women, and getting her own sister pregnant. A community dick, that's all he ever was. Now, Dahlia isn’t just broken. She’s angry. With Ronan Knight, Drawlwood's ruthless billionaire by her side, Dahlia is ready to reclaim everything that was once hers. And this time… mercy is off the table. ********** I was flung aside, my grip on Roselle slipping as I crashed into someone's arms, Ronan Knight. "Hold in your rage, Dahlia," Ronan's voice was calm. "There are better ways to make them pay. Don’t destroy yourself trying to hurt them. That's not how revenge works." I glanced down at my reddened knuckles. Tears blurring my vision. "Then tell me, Ronan… how do I hurt them?" I choked on my tears. "By becoming untouchable," he said softly. "Become more powerful, more successful. A version of Dahlia they could never break. And then… you make them kneel." He leaned in, a wicked promise in his eyes. "I'll help you rise again, Dahlia. And when you do… they'll beg at your feet."

Ivy Bernard always believed she was the chosen one, destined to save her pack from a terrible fate. Born with mesmerizing blue eyes and hair, she was supposed to marry the alpha, the man she loved.

Lors du banquet de noces, Clément Duchamp est arrivé en retard, vêtu du costume du témoin, tenant son premier amour par le bras, tandis qu'il avait jeté avec désinvolture le costume du marié sur le canapé. « Clément, ce n'est pas notre mariage aujourd'hui… » « Jade Bernard ! » Clément m'a interrompue sèchement, les yeux pleins de menace. « Tu sais ce que tu peux dire ou non. Sois digne, ne me pousse pas à te détester. » J'ai esquissé un rire amer. L'ex de Clément avait perdu la mémoire, tout le monde jouait avec elle à un jeu de souvenirs retrouvés, alors personne ne devait la heurter. Pour m'apaiser, Clément m'a prise dans ses bras et m'a murmuré à l'oreille : « Jade, tu peux me comprendre, n'est-ce pas ? » J'ai hoché la tête pour lui montrer que je comprenais, puis je me suis tournée pour prendre la main du vrai témoin et entrer avec lui dans le sanctuaire du mariage. Plus tard, alors que je faisais des achats enceinte au centre commercial, il m'a arrêtée, les yeux pleins de larmes : « Jade, on jouait un rôle, non ? Comment as-tu pu tomber enceinte ? »

Trois jours avant les fiançailles, Lucien Thomas m'a appelée : « Reportons notre cérémonie de fiançailles d'un mois. Ce jour-là, ce sera le premier concert de Lily Moreau après son retour en France, je ne peux pas ne pas y aller. » « Ce n'est qu'un report de fiançailles, rien de grave. » C'était la troisième fois qu'il a repoussé notre cérémonie de fiançailles cette année. La première fois, c'était parce que Lily avait eu une appendicite à l'étranger et avait été hospitalisée. Il avait dit qu'il devait aller s'occuper d'elle et il s'était précipité là-bas sans attendre. La deuxième fois, c'était parce que Lily avait dit qu'elle n'allait pas bien. Craignant qu'elle ne sombre dans la dépression, il avait immédiatement réservé un billet d'avion pour l'étranger. Et c'était la troisième fois. J'ai simplement répondu d'accord, j'ai raccroché puis je me suis tournée vers l'homme élégant et fier à mes côtés : « As-tu envie de m'épouser ? » Plus tard, lors du concert de Lily, Lucien l'a pourtant laissée sans hésiter et, les yeux rougis, il s'est précipité à ma cérémonie de fiançailles. « Léa Bernard, veux-tu vraiment te fiancer avec cet homme ? »

Dans un bar, Léa Bernard a entendu Théo Marchand dire : « Léa est très belle. Je l'ai courtisée à l'époque, c'est parce qu'elle ressemble un peu à Élise Fontaine. Toutes ces années, j'ai toujours cherché l'ombre d'Élise en elle. » C'était alors qu'elle a compris qu'elle n'avait été qu'un simple substitut. Ce soir-là, elle a composé ce numéro qu'elle n'avait pas appelé depuis longtemps. « Allô, papa, j'accepte de rentrer à la maison pour le mariage arrangé. » Plus tard, Théo a revu ce visage qu'il avait tant désiré lors d'un banquet, et quand il a appris la véritable identité de Léa, il a complètement perdu la tête… Le jour où Léa avait refusé le mariage arrangé et avait quitté la maison, Alex Dubois s'était tenu devant la fenêtre, faisant tourner son vin rouge, un regard indéchiffrable dans les yeux, « Léa, un jour tu reviendras sagement à mes côtés. » On disait qu'Alex, l'héritier de la famille la plus puissante de Rivélys, était froid, austère et indifférent aux femmes, et Léa l'avait cru sans réserve. Ce n'était que plus tard que Léa a découvert à quel point Alex était fou derrière son apparence calme et austère.

Hindi type ni Bernard ang mga babaeng masyadong bata sa kanya. Dahil ang pakiramdam niya ay magiging baby sitter lang siya ng mga ito kapag inaatake ng tantrums. Ngunit may isang babaeng gumulo sa kanya, si Marie, secretary ng dati niyang nililigawan na naging asawa ng kaibigan niya. Naiinis siya dito dahil mapang asar ito, hanggang isang gabi, bigla na lang niyang narealize na pwede pala niya itong magustuhan. At kabaliktaran ng pagkakakilala niya sa babaeng mas bata ang ugali nito, matured at maunawain ang dalaga. Kahit siya ang may kasalanan ay nagsosorry ito. Bigpang dumating ang kangyang first love, si Eleanor o mas kulala sa tawag na Ellue, akala niya, masisira ang telasyon nila dahil dito, ngunit si Marie ay siya lang ang pinapaniwalaan. Kaya naging maayos pa rin ang takbo ng relasyon nila, until makilala niya si Domeng, kahit noon lang niya nakilala ang kaibigan nito, sinakmal siya ng matinding selos, lalo pa at may mga ipinakitang pruweba sa kanya si Ellie na niloloko siya ni Marie. Lalo siyang nagalit sa babae. Ng matauhan siya sa mga nangyari, at nalaman niya ang totoo, parang huli na ang lahat. Kulang na lang isumpa siya ni Marie sa sobrang galit. Ayaw na siyang balikan ng babae. May pag asa pa kaya na mahalin siya ulit ng dalaga? Paano niya mapapatunayan ang pagmamahal dito kung pati mga kaibigan niya ayaw ng makialam sa kanila?
