Characters Of The Necklace By Guy De Maupassant

Roxane n’a jamais eu froid aux yeux. Insolente, vive, et diablement séduisante, elle sait jouer avec les règles sans jamais se brûler les ailes. Quand elle décroche un poste d’assistante auprès d’Elias Grayson, un PDG aussi brillant qu’impitoyable, elle se jure de ne jamais tomber dans le piège des sentiments. Mais Elias est un défi à lui seul. Entre eux, c’est un duel d’esprit, un échange de regards brûlants, une tension qui monte à chaque rencontre. Roxane pense avoir l’avantage… jusqu’à ce qu’elle découvre qu’elle n’est pas la seule à convoiter son attention. Entre en scène Natalia Devereaux, femme fatale au charisme ravageur, ambitieuse et prête à tout pour garder Elias sous son emprise. Une guerre secrète s’engage entre les deux femmes, faite de coups bas, de provocations et de stratégies aussi audacieuses que dangereuses. Roxane veut prouver qu’elle est bien plus qu’un simple flirt. Mais Elias, lui, joue selon ses propres règles. Est-il prêt à succomber à Roxane, ou bien n’est-elle qu’un pion de plus sur son échiquier impitoyable ? Entre passion, trahisons et jeux de pouvoir, Roxane va découvrir que l’amour peut être la plus grande des victoires… ou la pire des défaites.

“Tell me, Thalia, does it hurt to be cast aside, thrown to the wolves?” I laughed harshly, “Is this what it feels like? To be nothing? To be forgotten?” “Ronan… please…” Her voice was so soft, so broken that it almost made me feel sympathy for her, but in an instant, I crushed that emotion. I couldn’t allow her tears to sway me. “Don’t you dare cry,” I spat. “Save your pathetic, fake tears. They mean nothing to me now, just like you should have meant nothing to me then.” Thalia Sinclair was once a respected Luna, but her life fell apart when her mate rejected her and sold her to the cruel Rogue Sovereign. Forced to toughen up, she learned to survive alone, with no one to trust. Ronan Kane has waited for the moment to make Thalia pay for the hurt she caused him. But when their paths cross again, anger and pain mix with something neither of them can deny. Can they overcome their broken pasts, or will their scars keep them apart forever? Betrayal cuts deep. Vengeance burns hotter. Love is the deadliest weapon of all.

Story Of a Mysterious Professor, a girl full of life and Mr Stranger. **** "Now you'll just follow my command." As he told me, I nodded my head meekly, sitting on the desk.

"Now remove your top for your professor, my favourite student." As he ordered, I flushed, moving my eyelashes down. "Do it fast, Princess. I'm waiting." As he spoke, I moved my eyes up at him shyly. He pointed his finger at my top. I held the hem of my green top and pulled it over my head, gazing at his handsome face sheepishly. "Now give it to me." As he said, I instantly gave my top to him, and he inhaled my scent from the top, closing his eyes. "Your scent is exquisite, Princess." He whispered after opening his eyes. He kept my top on the table. "Now this." He pointed his finger at my bra, asking me take it off. I blushed hard before taking my hands behind and unlocking it. This is really increasing my excitement. As I removed it, he moved his eyes down at my twins and then up at me. "You're really beautiful, Princess." He complimented me, touching my heart. He pulled out his hand, and I gave my bra to him. Then like this, I pulled out my jeans and undies too and gave them to him. This is arousing my desires more. He is gazing at my body like he's gazing at the stars. "I like you like this. You are so beautiful, Princess. For me, your body is perfect from every corner." I smiled at him.
