Best Looking Shiny Pok茅mon

« Mme Sterling, êtes-vous certaine de vouloir mettre fin à vingt ans de mariage... et renoncer à la garde de vos enfants ? » « Oui. Déposez les documents. J'en ai assez. » Ma voix était calme, sans tremblement, tandis que je frottais avec énergie une tache de graisse tenace sur le plan de travail en marbre. Vingt ans. Vingt ans à m'oublier, à me fondre dans les murs de cette maison. À gérer chaque détail domestique, à m'inquiéter pour chaque bulletin scolaire, à me tenir dans l'ombre d'Alexander, soutien silencieux et sans récrimination de son ascension inexorable au sein du consortium. Et lui ? Le voilà qui avait donné une interview, flanqué de sa jeune sœur adoptive, Chloe. Il avait osé déclarer sans même un battement de cil : « Tout ce que j'ai accompli, je le dois à elle. À ma chère petite sœur. » Même mes enfants me regardaient avec ce mépris froid, traitant de « banale » et de « vulgaire » la femme qui les avait mis au monde. Ils formaient un front uni, tous quatre, avec cette sœur adoptive omniprésente, cette tata Chloe, qui se comportait en maîtresse des lieux. J'ai signé les papiers du divorce. Je suis partie. Qu'ils forment, eux, leur famille parfaite. Mais par la suite… c'était leur tour de regretter…

I make a mistake. A rash and intoxicating mistake. One night. A stranger. A fire that burns my skin and leaves me breathless. But when the morning light comes, I run—leaving behind nothing but shame and a few crumpled bills. I think I’ll never see him again. Until I step into the towering kingdom of Wilder Group... and meet ーhim. Kai Wilder Reyes. A ruthless billionaire. The man who rules the city with just a snap of his fingers. The man who shares an unforgettable night with me. And worst of all—my best friend's uncle. His grin is sinful. His touch is deadly. His words are a trap I can’t escape. "I can destroy your husband for you, Vivian," he whispers, his lips dangerously close. "Make him regret ever betraying you." My ex-husband, Adrian Cownell, has shattered my heart, and Kai offers me justice on a silver platter. But at what cost? Because Kai never does anything for free. And when I ask him what he wants in return, he smiles. A slow, dark, wicked smile. "I want you, Vivian."

Marissa was the perfect wife. She gave up her high powered corporate career to build a beautiful life supporting her husband, Ethan—home cooked meals, a curated home, and unwavering loyalty. But her world shatters when Ethan confesses to a four-month affair, not out of guilt, but because his mistress is blackmailing him for $300 million. His solution is as cold as his betrayal: “Cheat back. Get even. Stay married.” Fueled by rage and humiliation, Marissa agrees. Determined to reclaim her power, she steps into the night seeking one reckless moment to erase the sting of his betrayal. It leads her to an exclusive masquerade club, where identities are hidden and desire rules. Behind a mask, she meets a commanding stranger—mysterious, intoxicating, and unlike anyone she has ever known. For one night, he sees her not as a wife, but as a woman with fire still burning inside her. Their connection is intense, unforgettable. By morning, Marissa disappears, intending to leave it as nothing more than a calculated act of revenge. But some secrets refuse to stay buried. When she returns to the corporate world, Marissa comes face to face with the man behind the mask....Xavier Sterling, her former boss, a ruthless billionaire CEO… and Ethan’s best friend. Xavier recognizes her. He knows her in ways no one else does and he knows exactly what Ethan did. Now, Marissa is trapped in a dangerous web. Her husband is desperate to keep her, his mistress wants her gone, and Xavier is determined to claim the one woman he was never meant to touch. As power, betrayal, and desire collide, Marissa must decide....will she remain a pawn in their game or become the one who controls it?

I’ve loved my best friend’s father for years. Damian Cole is untouchable. A cold, powerful tech billionaire who built an empire from nothing. He’s disciplined. Controlled. Off-limits. And completely unaware that every time he looks at me, my heart forgets how to beat. Until the night he catches me sneaking out with another man. The way he looks at me changes. The way he touches me changes. The rules change. What starts as one reckless kiss turns into a secret we can’t control. A love we shouldn’t want. A betrayal that could destroy the one person we both care about most — his daughter, my best friend. And when I discover I’m pregnant… I realize loving him won’t just ruin a friendship. It might ruin everything. But Damian Cole doesn’t lose what belongs to him. And this time… he’s choosing me.

She was always off limits. Until one forbidden summer, shy Elena surrendered to her brother’s best friend, the emotionally guarded Damien, in nights so hot they burned every rule to ash. Then he shattered her. Called their unborn child a bastard and walked away. Five years later, Damien comes face-to-face with the little boy who looks just like him… and the woman he never stopped craving. Now the man who runs from feelings must fight for the family he threw away. But Elena isn’t the timid girl he left behind and this time, she won’t make it easy.

Mon fils cadet de 7 ans a été mordu par un serpent. Je l'ai immédiatement emmené à l'hôpital de mon fils aîné pour le soigner. Cependant, à ma grande surprise, la petite amie de mon fils aîné m'a prise pour une maîtresse. Non seulement elle a empêché mon fils cadet de recevoir le sérum, mais elle m'a aussi giflée. « Mon petit ami et moi, nous sommes un couple bien assorti comme s'il est fait par le ciel. Comment osez-vous venir me provoquer en public avec votre enfant illégitime ? » Elle m'a poussée par terre et m'a battue, en même temps, elle a même menacé : « Une sal*pe comme vous deviendra sage une fois que vous avez reçu une leçon. » Je suis restée toute meurtrie après avoir été battue et j'ai été emmenée à la salle d'urgence. Le chirurgien principal était mon fils aîné. Il tenait le scalpel et tremblait violemment, pâle, il a demandé : « Maman, qui t'a battue comme ça ? »

Three years ago, Alicia Brown walked away from the only man who had ever made her feel undone. After a reckless one-night stand with a powerful stranger, she slipped out of his hotel suite, convinced that disappearing was the only way to protect her heart. No names or contact information were exchanged—only a connection so consuming it frightened her. She never imagined fate would bring her back to him. Until she steps into her best friend’s home for the holidays… and comes face-to-face with Rhys Connell. Her best friend’s father. The same man who gave her the most unforgettable night of her life. Wealthy. Controlled. Devastatingly composed. Rhys is a widowed billionaire with a reputation for discipline and emotional restraint, a man who would do anything to protect his daughter. The moment their eyes meet, the past ignites. He remembers the girl who trembled beneath his touch, the girl who vanished without a trace. And the only woman who has haunted him for three years. Now she is under his roof, laughing beside his daughter, and staying in the same house with him. Wanting her once was a secret. Wanting her now is betrayal. But Rhys has never been a man who forgets what belongs to him. And Alicia is about to learn that walking away from him once does not mean she was ever truly free.

I'd had a crush on my brother's best friend, Ethan—the most powerful Alpha of our Northern Territory—since I was twelve years old. When I was fifteen, I boldly confessed my feelings to him. He laughed and patted my head, casually promising, "When you turn eighteen and shift, if you're my mate, I'll mark you." That offhand promise became my greatest hope for three years. I spent every day waiting for my wolf to awaken, praying to the Moon Goddess that she would designate us as mates. But on the night of my eighteenth birthday, after my wolf first awakened, I was shocked to discover that Ethan truly was my mate! Ignoring the intense shifting pain coursing through my body, I immediately shifted into my wolf form and ran toward Ethan's training grounds. I clutched the gift I'd prepared long ago, but instead heard Ethan urgently confessing to his Omega assistant Victoria: "Who would be stupid enough to actually care about a true mate? The bond between her and me is just the Moon Goddess's mistake. I only love you. I'll only mark you as my Luna." The words hit me like silver bullets to the chest. My wolf whimpered in pain, the mate bond burning like acid in my veins. I stood frozen behind the trees, watching the man I'd loved for six years dismiss our sacred connection as if it meant nothing. Later, Ethan introduced Victoria as his "fiancée." When Victoria demanded that I publicly bless their marking ceremony, Ethan remained completely indifferent to my humiliation. "Sylvia should give us her blessing," Victoria announced at the pack meeting, her voice sweet as poison. "After all, she's been like a little sister to Ethan all these years." Every wolf in the room could smell my distress. But Ethan said nothing, refusing to even look at me. When rogue wolves attacked our territory and I was surrounded, Ethan didn't hesitate to scoop up Victoria—who had only a tiny scratch on her finger—and carry her away to find the pack healer. He left me bleeding and alone, silver claws ha

Mon père était le Don de la famille Moretti, le parrain qui régnait sur tout l'empire mafieux. Ma mère était à la tête de la famille Carter et présidente de la société multinationale Carter. Ils m'avaient choisi deux fiancés. Le premier, c'était Damian, le PDG mondialement renommé de la société Agis. Le second, c'était Caesar, un homme redoutable qui contrôlait tout le trafic d'armes du milieu. Le jour du banquet de mes vingt ans, celui que je choisirais d'épouser deviendrait le parrain régnant sur tout l'empire mafieux. Tout le monde avait été sous le choc quand j'avais choisi Caesar, sans la moindre hésitation. J'aimais Damian profondément depuis l'enfance, et j'avais même juré de n'épouser que lui. Mais ils ignoraient que je revenais du futur. Dans ma vie passée, j'avais épousé Damian, comme je le souhaitais. Pourtant, le soir même de notre mariage, il m'avait trompée avec ma femme de chambre. Ensuite, ma famille l'avait découvert et avait renvoyé la domestique. Ils l'avaient chassée de la maison. Damian m'en avait voulu pour ça. Quand je suis tombée enceinte, il ramenait une femme différente chaque nuit et couchait avec elle, juste devant moi. Même le jour où je me suis battue pour accoucher dans des conditions terribles, il avait fait détourner toutes les ressources médicales. Il avait ignoré mes supplications, et il avait fini par me faire mourir, moi et mon enfant à naître, dans une agonie atroce. De retour dans le passé, j'avais décidé de lui rendre sa liberté. Sans y réfléchir, j'ai choisi mon autre fiancé : Caesar. Mais je ne m'attendais pas à une chose… Damian aussi était revenu à la vie.
