Carte Blanche Card

When I'm scouring for food in the dumpster, I get recognized and taken home by the richest man in the city, Maverick Clark. As soon as I get home, Camila Clark, the fake heiress who has taken my spot for many years, asks our parents with an aggrieved look, "Mom, Dad, now that the actual heiress is home, does that mean I have to leave now?" Upon noticing the frowns on my parents' faces, I quickly sink down on my knees and begin pleading to them pitifully. "Mom, Dad, if you don't like me, I'll just go back to the alley you found me at." Camila Clark, you stole my identity and the affection meant for me by pretending to be frail and weak in the previous life. That was how I ended up dying on the streets from starvation. This time, not only will I kick you out of the Clark family, but I'll also take back the assets and identity you've swindled from my parents by playing the pity card! Aren't you the most skilled in acting pitiful? Let's see who's better at tricking the Clarks into voluntarily giving away their assets and social standing on a silver platter!

On the night before I'm set to officially marry Shawn Ford, he keeps losing to his godsister, Tiffany Lynch, at the poker table on purpose. "We're just playing for fun. Aren't we a family? Everyone here knows that Tiffany and I are as thick as thieves since young." Tiffany plays with a poker card absent-mindedly. "Surely you don't mind, right? Shawn told me that if I were to win this round, he'd give me the funds meant to renovate your marital home so that I can buy myself some bags." The other players begin to cheer on Tiffany at that moment. "Hell yeah! Tiffany is really lucky when it comes to poker! Joanna, there's no use saving that meager salary of yours. Why don't you just bet everything on the table to spice things up?" I don't bother speaking afterward. All I do is pull out a chair and sit across from Shawn. Then, I dig out a property deed from my bag. "You wanted to spice things up, right? I just bought this property at full price. Do you have the guts to put everything you have on the stake?"

Felicia Eviana, a girl with a sweet face and a smart mind, must experience the feeling of being put down by junior level. Only because they know she is one year older than them but still taking the same courses. “Her ID Card is old but how come she's still taking this course? It must be stupid until she repeat it.” It was a sentence she often heard and she was lazy to explain, let alone respond. Jayden Jordan, a handsome man in Felicia's class, they even joined the same thesis project team. The man who had been watching Felicia from afar. Shitty but smart man. Ansel Bastian, ex-boyfriend of Felicia who is now a laboratory assistant at the campus laboratory since graduating. For the sake of being able to continue to see his ex and hope to get back together again as before. Harumi Haida, a student with glasses and nothing special. Join the thesis project with Jayden and Felicia. The type who wants to immediately graduate and complete research ahead of her teammates. Selfish and cunning. How is the story of Felicia spending her final semester on campus after returning from leave? Was her relationship with Jayden just a partner or something more? Also, will she return to Ansel who she secretly loves?

I was the son of the wealthiest man in Capital City, but I had never enjoyed the flattery and fake smiles that came with that title. All I had ever wanted was a normal life. Now that I was pushing twenty-eight and still single, my mom finally lost her patience. She gave me an ultimatum: go on a blind date or she’d disown me. On my way to the date, I passed by a luxury boutique and spotted a watch that immediately caught my eye. I was just about to pay for it when, out of nowhere, a man barged in from behind and slapped a black card down on the counter. “I’ll take this watch. Wrap it up for me,” he said. I stayed calm and said politely, “Sir, I saw this watch first.” However, he just scoffed and snapped back, full of arrogance, “A broke nobody like you can look but not afford it. Get lost. I’m the assistant to Ms. Jackson, the CEO of Jackson Group. In this city, if I want something, no one will fight me for it.” Ms. Jackson? Isn’t that the exact woman I was supposed to be meeting for the blind date? Without another word, I pulled out my phone and dialed her number. “Selena,” I said calmly, “do you know your assistant is out here throwing your name around to bully people?”

_Vous… vous avez bien dit que vous me payeriez 1000 euros pour une heure, c’est ça ? Demanda-t-elle _Oui Lisa, je confirme que c’est bien ce que j’ai dit, répondit-il avec un grand sourire. Lisa s’allongea sur le matelas, et le deuxième homme s’approcha d’elle. Elle se dit qu’elle devrait se méfier, mais étrangement, le bel inconnu lui inspirait confiance. _ Maintenant, il va falloir vous déshabiller, dit-il de sa voix douce et chaude. L’adolescente de 18 ans savait qu’elle était venue pour cela, mais elle hésita tout de même un instant. Elle ne s’était jamais déshabillée devant des hommes auparavant ; en vérité, elle était vierge. _Et… Vous promettez que vous n’essayerez pas de me faire l’amour ? demanda encore Allyssa tout en baissant les bretelles de son débardeur. Elle ne portait pas de soutien-gorge, et elle vit les yeux des deux hommes d’affaires scintiller dans l’obscurité lorsqu’elle révéla ses beaux seins semblables à des melons bien mûrs. _Je vous le garantis, dit le plus âgé des deux. Mon associé et moi-même avons des postes à haute responsabilité. Nous souhaitons éviter tout scandale, et nous ne désirons pas tromper nos épouses en couchant avec d’autres femmes. Tout ce que nous voulons, c’est goûter au sexe d’une jolie adolescente de 18 ans comme vous. Lisa frissonna à nouveau en entendant ses paroles. Elle ignorait si elle avait peur, ou bien si elle commençait à être excitée. Elle retira alors son jean, puis son string en dentelle blanche, et elle s’allongea alors en serrant les dents. Le plus âgé des deux hommes s’approcha près d’elle, puis il s’agenouilla à ses côtés.

Jusqu'à mes dix ans j'ai été la fille la plus heureuse du monde. J'étais insouciante. Je prenais du plaisir à aller partout. Les gens que je rencontrai à San Francisco n'avait aucun préjugé sur ma couleur de peau. Que j'ai la peau blanche, des cheveux crépus(enfin plus bouclés que crépus quand même) et blonds, des yeux tirant sur le vert et tout ça avec un père noir, une mère et un frère métissés n'a jamais fait tâche. Jusqu'à ce que j'arrive à Dakar C'est dans la ville où j'aurai dû me sentir plus chez moi où je me suis sentie étrangère et non désirée. Les gens en dehors du cercle familial me regardaient bizarrement. J'ai découvert la méchanceté gratuite et la mise en quarantaine alors que je ne suis porteuse d'aucun virus mortel ni autre maladie grave. Juste parce que je suis albinos je mérite qu'on me traite de la sorte. À la limite je préférai être mise en quarantaine parce que quand on me parle c'est pour me traiter de sorcière, de Djinn, d’être maléfique et je ne sais quoi d’autres. On a même accusé ma famille d'avoir pactisé avec le diable pour être riche et que j'étais le résultat de ce pacte. Devant moi certains parents ne se gênaient pas d’interdire leurs enfants de m’approcher. Au début ça me touchait mais maintenant ça ne me fait plus rien. . Ce qui est bien dans mon cas c’est que j’ai tout ce que je veux. Il suffit juste de demander.

At three in the morning, I stare at the unknown transaction record on my phone screen, my fingertips turning cold. The record is for a payment of 2980 dollars, made for an executive suite at the Wisteria. The time of payment was 8:00 pm last night. My husband, Tristan Griffin, is a detective. He was on the night shift last night. I clutch my phone, my knuckles turning white as I text Tristan, "I just saw your credit card bill for a hotel stay last night. What's up with that?" His reply is instant. "Our team had to work overtime at the last minute, so they put us up at the hotel. I forgot to tell you about it." I scan the text and sputter. The Wisteria is located in the western region of the city, which is on the other end from where his squad is stationed. I don't press him for more details and click on the bank app on my phone. Having found the vendor's address through the payment record, I sent it to my best friend, Rowena Sheffield, who works as a private detective. She replies instantly with an "OK" emoji and follows up with, "Give me a second. I'll find out everything you want in a jiffy!"

Heavily pregnant, she was kidnapped and thrown into a life-or-death gamble. Her husband paid a hundred million dollars to save his first love, while she was left to die in a raging fire. At death’s door, she finally remembered the identity of herself. Five years later, she returned—not as the obedient wife of the past, but as Elianna Carrington, the esteemed Fifth daughter of the powerful Carrington family in Bryston. Loved by her father, cherished by her brothers, adored by her son, and pursued by the elites, her life was perfect. Joseph Kensington finally realized the truth. This elegant, untouchable woman was the wife he’d been searching for all these years. Desperate, he took her to court. Elianna: Give it up, Joseph. Both sons are mine. Joseph: The kids are yours. You’re mine. Overnight, Bryston was shaken. The dominant heir to a financial empire had now fallen at her feet. To win his wife back, he risked everything—his pride, his life, his heart. Too bad his two sons were his biggest obstacles. Eldest son: Daddy, my credit card swipes faster than yours. Second son: Scumbag dad, get lost!

The supplementary card I've issued for my grandmother shows that an eight-thousand-dollar purchase has taken place in another city. But the transaction records show that the money is used on hymenoplasty. I'm shell-shocked, to say the least. Grandma is 84 years old this year. She's been bedridden and paralyzed for years. Why would she even get hymenoplasty done on her, to begin with? But when my investigation leads me to a plastic surgery hospital, I find out that my wife, Stella Watson, is actually the lead doctor of said clinic. So, I call her to demand answers from her. However, Stella refuses to answer my questions properly. "Don't worry, honey. Something's most likely wrong with the system. Betsy is already this old—why would she have her hymen repaired?" That's just a bullshit answer coming from her. She seriously thinks I'm gullible enough to believe her. I merely huff coldly in return before calling my dad, who works in the Department of Commerce. "Dad, Stella is most likely cheating on me. I want her plastic surgery hospital as compensation for my impending divorce!"

La septième année où j'étais amoureuse de Léo, il a hérité du poste d'Alpha de son frère défunt. Et aussi de la femme de son frère, l'ancienne Luna, sa belle-sœur selon la morale, Jasmin. Chaque fois qu'il couchait avec sa belle-sœur, Léo me disait doucement : « Mia, tu es ma seule et unique compagne. Quand Jasmin sera enceinte et qu'elle aura donné naissance à l'héritier de la meute de Blazetooth, je célébrerai la cérémonie du Marquage avec toi. » Il disait que c'était la seule condition imposée par sa famille pour qu'il hérite de la meute de Blazetooth. Pendant les six mois après son retour à la meute de Blazetooth, il avait couché cent fois avec Jasmin. Au début, c'était une fois par mois, puis, il passait ses nuits là-bas tous les jours. Après ma centième nuit blanche à l'attendre, Jasmin est enfin tombée enceinte. En même temps, la nouvelle de la cérémonie du Marquage entre lui et Jasmin est arrivée. En entendant la nouvelle, mon fils m'a demandé avec innocence : « Maman, ils ont dit que papa allait faire la cérémonie avec la Luna qu'il aime, alors, pourquoi ne vient-il pas nous chercher à la maison ? » « Parce que la Luna qu'il aime, ce n'est pas maman. » J'ai caressé la tête de mon fils, « Mais ce n'est pas grave, maman va te ramener dans notre vraie maison. » Ce que Léo ne savait pas, c'était qu'en tant que fille unique d'Alpha de Merville, je ne me suis jamais souciée du titre de Luna de la meute de Blazetooth.
