Claire Farron

*NO UPDATES ON SUNDAYS* Two months. Claire only asked two more months from her ignorant husband to save her marriage from falling apart. She loved him too much to let him go. Hunter MacIntyre was reluctant that it would change anything between them. He could never bring himself to fall for Claire while his heart belonged to someone else. But he anyway agreed, and much to Claire's determination, it worked out between them. Hunter was slowly coming out of his aloofness and showing his tender side to her. However, on the much awaited day of their second marriage anniversary, Hunter abandoned her to be with his ex-girlfriend. "It was all a pretense to save myself from going through that wife-hunting shit again after our divorce, Claire. But now she's back. Sign the divorce papers and set me free. I want to be with the true love of my life." She bit back a curse and nodded sternly, "Fine! If that's what you want, I'll set you free. But don't come crawling back to me in the future. Because I won't accept you." Six months later, indeed he came back to her! Want to know what Claire did with her ex-husband? Start reading now;) Ps. At moments you'll hate Claire for her decisions, but trust me, every decision has a motive behind it (which you will love certainly;) (Trigger warning: there might be scenes some may find heartbreaking/disturbing/annoying etc. Please beware. It's a work of fiction and purely meant for entertainment. If you can't handle betrayal, divorce, panic attacks, depression, etc than do not pick up this book. You've been warned! Rest others, who like a spicy story with lots of drama, welcome;)

After I succeed in helping my wife, Claire Gibson, establish her company, I decide to become a full-time stay-at-home dad without a worry in the world. Since my daughter, Nancy Davidson's 10th birthday is coming soon, I want to make the event fancy. So, I decide to place an order on Hill Hotel's birthday banquet services, where one full table of food costs 18 thousand dollars. When I'm swiping my card, the hotel employee shoots me a look. "Mr. Davidson, your card can barely foot for a 500-dollar bill." Embarrassed, I go home and question Claire about the family's finances. She looks at me apologetically instead. "My company has been participating in a bidding process lately. The newly-appointed governmental senior official is a greedy one, you see. I've spent quite a lot of money in bribing him just to get things done. "Once my cash flow is back, I'll definitely throw Nancy a fancy birthday banquet!" In a considerate manner, I tell Claire that I completely understand her situation. But soon, I start calculating the assets I still have. After all, my dad is the newly-appointed official. There aren't any bidding processes going on in the government at all. I'd like to see where on earth Claire has spent all of her money.

BOOK TWO OF THE CARTER BROTHERS SERIES “I want to get married to you Claire, just for a few years and we would go our separate ways.” Nathaniel Carter proposed before swiping through his documents like it was a casual thing. “What!!!!! Are.. are you joking sir?” Claire asked hoping her boss was joking but his serious expression was saying otherwise. _________ Nathaniel Carter, the oldest of the carter brothers is wife hunting after his brother got married and his grandfather is threatening to disinherit him. He has put in too much hard work to let the company go away to any of his stepbrothers. He had an idea, a messy one at that. His secretary Claire was the kind of woman that would steal the heart of his grandfather and stepmother and he would play that card till they got off his back for being too lonely. Claire Wordsworth had so many views about her boss but nothing compared to the crazy look on his face when he proposed to get into an arranged marriage with him. She thought he was kidding but the firm set off his jaw told her otherwise. Life could really change in a matter of seconds. She had too many to gain and of course, it would give her career a good boost if she was married to the great Nathaniel Carter. Maybe getting into this marriage would really be a good decision or her nemesis.

When omegas begin to vanish from her village, Claire never suspects she’ll be next. Taken in the dead of night, she finds herself caged among others, about to be auctioned to the most powerful, ruthless alphas. Just as despair closes in, Claire locks eyes with someone she never thought she’d find: her fated mate, a billionaire alpha who could be her salvation. But in a single, silent act of rejection, he looks away, bidding on someone else. Heartbroken and betrayed, Claire is sold to another alpha—a cold, calculating mafia boss who has no intention of letting her go. Yet he sees in her a spark, a strength he’s never found in anyone else. Instead of enslaving her, he offers her a new life, teaching her to survive in his world and claiming her as his own. But the bond she once shared with her mate cannot be severed so easily. When her rejected mate realizes his mistake, he’ll stop at nothing to reclaim her—even if it means tearing apart everything she’s built. With the werewolf council intervening, a dangerous ultimatum is set: the billionaire alpha has three months to make her fall for him again, or he’ll lose her forever. Caught between two powerful alphas, Claire Lyra Wilson faces a choice: return to the mate who shattered her heart, or stay with the one who taught her to fight

Dos meses. Claire solo le pidió dos meses más a su ignorante marido para salvar su matrimonio de desmoronarse. Lo amaba demasiado como para dejarlo ir. Hunter MacIntyre dudaba que aquello fuera a cambiar algo entre ellos. Nunca logró enamorarse de Claire mientras su corazón le pertenecía a otra persona. Aun así, aceptó. Y, para sorpresa incluso de su propia determinación, Claire consiguió que funcionara. Poco a poco, Hunter empezó a salir de su frialdad, dejando entrever con ella un lado más tierno. Sin embargo, el día tan esperado de su segundo aniversario de bodas, Hunter la abandonó para estar con su exnovia. —Todo fue una farsa para ahorrarme tener que pasar otra vez por esa mierda de buscar esposa después del divorcio, Claire. Pero ahora ella ha vuelto. Firma los papeles y déjame libre. Quiero estar con el verdadero amor de mi vida. Claire reprimió una maldición y asintió con firmeza. —Está bien. Si eso es lo que quieres, te dejaré libre. Pero no vuelvas arrastrándote hacia mí en el futuro… porque no voy a aceptarte. Seis meses después, efectivamente, volvió a buscarla. ¿Quieres saber qué hizo Claire con su exmarido? Empieza a leer ahora ;) P. D.: Habrá momentos en los que odiarás a Claire por sus decisiones, pero créeme, cada una tiene un motivo detrás (y seguro te encantará descubrirlo ;)). (Advertencia: puede haber escenas que algunos consideren desgarradoras, perturbadoras o incluso irritantes. Es una obra de ficción creada únicamente con fines de entretenimiento. Si no toleras temas como la traición, el divorcio, ataques de pánico o depresión, quizá este libro no sea para ti. Quedas advertido. Para el resto, si te gustan las historias intensas y llenas de drama… bienvenido ;))

Claire came from the long lines of hunters who hunted supernatural beings as their source of livelihood. The business soon became dull as there was no more catch for them despite all their tries. With all these going on, Claire was still treated like a servant in her father's house by her stepmother and stepsister. One day, she saw a wolf that was injured in the garden. Thinking that it was an ordinary wolf, she took care of it and nursed it back to health. She befriended the wolf and was no longer a loner. One day, she found out that her father was going to sell her as a slave to pay off some of his debt, and she decided to run away. She got caught by her family and was beaten mercilessly. The wolf saw this and got angry, thereby transforming into a man. That was when everyone knew that he was a werewolf. The family thought that their lives would be settled if they killed the werewolf, but Claire would have none of it. She escaped with the werewolf, becoming an outcast among her family. Life tempted her and her wolf beyond what they could bear. But would they be victorious?

At the ceremony where my fiancé, Mattew, was to be crowned Alpha of the Riverdale Pack, he publicly rejected our mating bond. He chose Claire, who was already carrying his child. “Claire and her family can help me secure my Alpha title,” he said, without a hint of shame. “And I need her to give me an heir.” As for me? “Just wait a year. The Luna title will still be yours.” Everyone thought I’d just accept it. After all, I’d been hopelessly devoted to him for seven years. But that very night, I left to find my Second Chance Mate. Three years later, I returned to the Riverdale Pack, accompanying my mate—the Alpha King—on his tour of the territories. He had some last-minute business and sent someone else to pick me up. But at the airport, I ran into Mattew. He looked at me with pity. “Done with your little tantrum? Claire’s son needs a nanny. You can come back and be his caretaker.”

Claire Sterling a été envoyée en prison parce que sa disparition arrangeait sa propre famille. Son mari, Nathan Sterling, avait besoin qu'elle s'efface. La femme qui devait la remplacer était déjà prête. Leur fils, sans hésiter, a témoigné contre sa mère. À sa sortie de prison, Nathan lui propose ce qu'il appelle une solution raisonnable : présenter des excuses, revenir discrètement, et rester Madame Sterling uniquement de nom.

Claire Sterling landete im Gefängnis. Der Grund? Ihre eigene Familie hatte entschieden, dass sie im Weg war. Ihr Mann, Nathan Sterling, brauchte freie Bahn. Die Frau, die ihren Platz einnehmen sollte, stand schon bereit. Ihr eigener Sohn sagte ohne zu zögern gegen sie aus. Als sie aus der Haft entlassen wurde, machte Nathan ihr ein Angebot, das er für eine „vernünftige Lösung“ hielt: Sie solle sich entschuldigen, unauffällig an seine Seite zurückkehren und dem Namen nach Madame Sterling bleiben. Nichts weiter. Ihr Sohn verbarg seine Ablehnung nicht einmal. Claire lehnte ab. Die Scheidung wurde zu einem öffentlichen Desaster für Nathan. Claire ging mit dem Großteil des Vermögens, während ihr Ex-Mann weit mehr als nur Geld verlor: seine Glaubwürdigkeit, seine wichtigsten Verbündeten und die unumstößliche Kontrolle, an die er immer geglaubt hatte. Befreit von einer Ehe, die sie fast zerstört hätte, baute Claire ihre Karriere nach ihren eigenen Regeln wieder auf. Ihre Arbeit fand schnell Anerkennung, und ihr Name gewann wieder an Wert – unabhängig von den Sterlings. Zur gleichen Zeit zerfiel Nathans Leben, Stück für Stück. Die Frau, für die er alles riskiert hatte, zeigte ihre wahren, habgierigen Züge. Der Sohn, der seine Mutter verstoßen hatte, verstand zu spät, von wem er wirklich geliebt worden war. Die Familie, die Claire geopfert hatte, zerbrach von innen heraus. Als Nathan und sein Sohn schließlich an ihrer Tür erschienen, war von ihrer einstigen Arroganz nur noch Bedauern übrig. Sie baten sie, zurückzukommen, als wäre Vergebung eine Selbstverständlichkeit. Claire hörte ihnen zu. Dann traf sie ihre Entscheidung. Sie war nicht mehr die Frau, die darauf wartete, auserwählt zu werden. Von nun an entschied sie allein, wer einen Platz in ihrem Leben verdiente – und sie hatte es absolut nicht eilig.

Le jour où Claire Jarry a fait une fausse couche, Adrien Charon et leur fils, Léo Charon, assistaient au spectacle préféré de l'amour idéal d'Adrien. « Claire, tu cherches toujours des histoires, tu trouves ça drôle ? » « Papa, change de maman, elle est trop pénible ! » Le jour de son anniversaire, Claire revenait de l'hôpital lorsqu'elle a découvert son mari en train de fêter l'anniversaire de son amour idéal. Le fils qu'elle avait mis au monde, au péril de sa vie, répétait sans cesse qu'il voulait protéger celle qui lui avait tout pris. Les yeux rougis, Claire a esquissé un sourire ; elle a quitté, sans hésiter, la prison conjugale qui l'avait enfermée pendant cinq ans. Adrien et Léo croyaient qu'en quittant la famille Charon, elle ne survivrait pas ; à leur grande surprise, elle est devenue une femme hors de leur portée. « Monsieur Charon ! Le modèle conçu par Madame a pris la tête des ventes nationales, il a totalement écrasé le groupe Charon ! » « Monsieur Charon ! Madame a remporté le championnat du monde de design en intelligence artificielle ! » « Monsieur Charon ! Madame a été invitée par un Président étranger à un banquet d'État ! » Le cœur en miettes, Adrien, tenant son fils, s'est mis à genoux devant elle, « Claire, je t'en supplie, aime-moi encore une fois ! Si tu reviens, je suis prêt à vivre comme un chien ! » Mais, de l'autre côté de la porte, Maxime Delaunay, d'une beauté troublante, portait un collier de cuir ; Il a enroulé la laisse ornée de diamants autour de la paume de Claire, le regard brûlait d'une dévotion folle, « Ma maîtresse, à partir d'aujourd'hui, je ne vivrai que pour toi. Adopte-moi, je t'en prie. »
