Coco Chanel Quotes

Après ma renaissance, c'est moi qui ai changé le nom inscrit sur mon lien de sang avec le prince Mortlock. J'y ai écrit « Isabella » : l'autre vampire qu'il avait toujours chérie, toujours protégée. Quand Isabella a voulu le collier de rubis, celui qui marquait la compagne du prince, je le lui ai laissé. La robe de mariée que Mortlock avait préparée pour moi ? Je la lui ai laissée, elle aussi. J'ai fait tout cela parce que, dans ma vie passée, j'avais fini par obtenir ce que je désirais. Je suis devenue la compagne de Mortlock, mais j'ai vécu chaque instant dans l'ombre d'Isabella. À la fin, lors d'un affrontement contre des chasseurs de vampires, Mortlock a couru d'abord vers Isabella, blessée. Et c'est moi qu'on a laissée recevoir un pieu d'argent en plein cœur. Alors cette fois, j'ai décidé de les laisser l'un à l'autre. De rester aussi loin que possible de Mortlock. Mais cette fois, le prince froid et distant a pleuré et m'a suppliée de redevenir sa compagne.

Though Micheal loved me deeply, When he was deceived by Ruby's lies,He lost the ability to distinguish right from wrong. He believed that I had killed his grandfather for the inheritance and that I had slept with other men and was pregnant with that man's child.So he cruelly subjected me to humiliation again and again. When he personally pushed me into the abyss, all the love turned to ashes—never to return in this lifetime...

My fated mate, Alpha Rylan, turned cold the moment our bond snapped into place. They all say I'm just a lowly omega. That I'm not good enough for him. I started to believe them. To think my wolf was broken. Maybe this wasn't a mate bond at all, just a pathetic crush. Then, on the day I finally decided to give up, a second wolf awakened in my mind: Echo. She screamed at me that Rylan craved me. That he loved me. And just like that, my hope was rekindled. He hurt me ninety-eight times in seven years. Seventy-seven of those were for his adopted sister, Morrigan. Each time, Echo insisted he just didn't know how to show his love. And favoring Morrigan? That was just to make me jealous. To see that I cared. But the ninety-ninth time was the last straw. He left me for dead in enemy territory. When I woke up, the gift he'd prepared for me was in Morrigan’s hands. I was done. Finally. I called the Elders with a single request: "I want to sever my bond with Alpha Rylan. I'm leaving. For good."

A família Rossi tem uma regra. Se você quer ser a próxima Donna, precisa provar seu valor. Fazer trezentos milhões de dólares, dinheiro limpo, em um único ano. Tudo por conta própria, sem ajuda da família. Passei dez anos tentando conseguir isso por Vincent. Construí dez empresas do zero. Mas toda vez, justamente quando eu estava prestes a cruzar a linha de chegada, algo dava errado. Tudo simplesmente... Desmoronava. Este ano, finalmente consegui. Corri para o escritório dele, com o relatório da auditoria em mãos, com o coração martelando contra as costelas. Achei que finalmente tinha vencido. Em vez disso, descobri que toda a minha vida era uma mentira. Ele entregou todo o meu império para Ava, a bastarda do meu pai. Tudo porque ela supostamente salvou a vida dele uma vez, e ele queria torná-la a verdadeira Donna. Eu desisti dele e do sonho da minha família de ascender junto com a dele. Então peguei o telefone e liguei para a Outfit de Chicago. — Sobre a proposta de casamento de vocês. — Eu disse. — Eu aceito.

Mereka memergoki tunanganku bersama adikku pada malam pesta pertunangan kami. Mereka terlihat bermesraan di sebuah gudang penyimpanan anggur. Nama keluargaku tercoreng. Kami menjadi bahan tertawaan di seluruh keluarga mafia Kota Lilagos. Lalu, datanglah Mario Lukas. Dia melamarku di depan semua keluarga, menyelamatkan kehormatanku dan membentuk aliansi yang jauh lebih kuat. Selama empat tahun, dia selalu memperlakukanku dengan istimewa. Namun, cedera lama membuatnya tidak mampu memiliki ahli waris. Tahun ini, melalui dokter pribadi keluarga, aku akhirnya bisa hamil. Setelah itu, pengabdiannya semakin sempurna. Aku pikir pria yang berkuasa itu adalah penyelamatku. Satu-satunya pelindungku. Sampai aku mendengarnya saat berbicara dengan asistennya. “Bos, Hana sangat mencintaimu. Bagaimana kau tega melakukan ini? Kau menyuruh dokter menukar botol itu, menjadikan Hana sebagai ibu pengganti untuk ahli waris Keluarga Kayana. Hanya karena Ruri tidak sanggup menahan sakit? Anak ini akan lahir dalam dua bulan. Apa rencanamu?” Dia terdiam sejenak. Saat berbicara, suaranya sedingin es. "Saat anak itu lahir, dia akan jadi anak Ruri. Itu satu-satunya hal yang bisa menjamin masa depannya bersama Keluarga Kayana." "Sementara Hana?" "Aku akan memberitahunya bahwa bayi itu tidak selamat." "Dia tetap akan menjadi istri Mario Lukas, dan memiliki semua yang dia inginkan." Ternyata begitulah kenyataannya. Pelindungku yang hebat. Semuanya … ternyata demi wanita lain. Garis keturunan yang tercemar ini .... Aku tidak ingin dia berada di dalam rahimku. Mengenai pernikahan palsu ini, aku sudah menyerah.

He married me with a signature. 
He claimed me with a look. 
And he ruined me with a single touch. Christian Reed doesn’t whisper sweet nothings. He fucks hard.
He gives orders.
He takes what he wants. 
And what he wants… is me. Now, I’m wearing his ring.
Obeying his rules.
Moaning his name in the dark. But the contract didn’t say anything about falling for the man who owns me—
Or what happens when he finds out I’ve been keeping secrets.

I am Alpha Liam’s fated mate. But at his Alpha ceremony, he publicly chose a low-ranking Omega to accompany him on his trials. His eyes were cold as he told me, “Chloe is a skilled negotiator. She can help me forge alliances with other packs. Even as my fated mate, you can’t compare.” What he didn’t know was that I was a trained negotiator, too. And just like that, everyone knew I had been rejected by my own fated mate. Four years later, Liam returned with a pregnant Chloe in tow. Seeing me in the manor, his gaze was strained and complex. “I can’t believe you waited for me for four years… but Chloe is already carrying my child.” “To make it up to you,” he said, “you can remain by my side and care for my heir.” But he had no idea that I had already married his uncle, the Alpha King, and become the Luna Queen, the most revered wolf in the world.

I've been overlooked by the Lawson family a hundred times over. On birthdays, they only ever get a cake for my sister, Jocelyn Lawson. When I'm sick, I lie alone in a hospital bed while they fuss around her. I tell myself to tough it out and be a good daughter, but no amount of my endurance ever earns me a drop of their favor. On my wedding day, I think I'll finally get my moment to shine, at least for once. But I'm wrong. My parents, my brother, and even my fiance—Felix Wright, the head of a mafia empire—abandon me to attend Jocelyn's graduation ceremony. They leave me standing alone at the altar, enduring the guests' whispers and pitying glances. But Felix just throws me a cold line. "It's just a wedding. We'll make it up another day." It's not the first time. At our engagement party, Jocelyn whimpers about a stomachache, and he rushes her to the hospital without a flicker of hesitation. I'm left to smile through gritted teeth, making excuses to a room full of guests. That's the moment it hits me. To them, I'll always be the spare. So, I walk away. I pack my bags and carry a secret with me—the child growing inside me. This time, I'm done waiting for their scraps of affection. I'm starting a new chapter in my life, for me and my baby.

I'm a private photographer. Many female college students come to me to get their portraits shot. In return, they choose to offer me their supple bodies. One day, I receive an order to take wedding photos of a couple. However, that night, the bride insists on having me sleep with her… Could it be that her husband can't even afford to pay me for my services?

It was my birthday. I thought he would take me to see the fireworks by the sea, but he showed up with another woman and her child. “Vera has a kid with her, and it’s inconvenient for them. Be a little understanding. She doesn’t know her way around here, and she has a lot of luggage. I’ll just drop them at the hotel.” He said it so casually, as if he were just explaining some trivial, everyday chore. It was that very gentleness of his that made me feel like I was so unreasonable getting angry over it. He helped them into the car. He leaned down to buckle the seatbelt on the child. Then, he turned to me with a smile. “I’ll be right back. Don’t overthink things.” I stood by the roadside and watched them drive away like a picture-perfect little family. As night fell, the sea breeze turned sharp and biting. Still, I waited until a notification of Vera Cannon’s social feed update lit up my screen. He was holding her daughter in his arms. They were watching the fireworks by the beach. It was a surprise I had planned for my own birthday. The comments poured in. [What a perfect match. What a beautiful little family!] Someone asked him why he was not picking me up. He just smiled and said, “Indy is very patient. She won’t be mad.” At that moment, my birthday cake melted into a puddle of frosting. I finally realized that he had not done that to be cruel to me. He was certain that I would always wait for him. However, even the warmest heart grew cold when neglected too many times. The waves crashed against the shore, over and over. With each crash, another shred of my hope washed away. This time, I was not going to wait for him to come back.
