Codename Anastasia Ch 28

Meine Jugendliebe, die mir die Ehe versprochen hatte, sobald wir das Studium abgeschlossen hätten, machte der falschen Erbin Klara Weber einen Heiratsantrag – ausgerechnet bei meiner Abschlussfeier. Und Michael Hoffmann, der in den Augen aller als aristokratischer Mönch galt, erklärte mir öffentlich seine Liebe – nur kurz nachdem sich meine Jugendliebe verlobt hatte. Fünf Jahre lang war er in unserer Ehe außerordentlich liebevoll und verehrte mich zutiefst. Bis ich zufällig sein Gespräch mit einem Freund belauschte. „Michael, Klara ist inzwischen berühmt geworden. Willst du weiterhin mit Sarah Theater spielen?“ „Klara kann ich sowieso nicht heiraten, das spielt keine Rolle mehr. Außerdem kann sie, solange sie bei mir ist, Klaras Glück nicht im Wege stehen.“ Und seine kostbaren religiösen Schriften – in jeder einzelnen stand Klaras Name: „Möge Klara sich von ihren Obsessionen befreien, möge sie Frieden für Körper und Seele finden.“ „Möge Klara alles erhalten, was sie sich wünscht, möge ihre Liebe frei von Sorgen sein.“ ... „Klara, wir sind in diesem Leben nicht füreinander bestimmt, ich wünsche mir nur, dass wir im nächsten gemeinsam gehen können.“ Fünf Jahre der Selbsttäuschung, und ich erwachte in einem Augenblick. Ich besorgte mir eine falsche Identität und plante einen Ertrinkungsunfall. Von nun an müssen wir uns, Leben für Leben, nie wieder begegnen.

Depuis six ans, je vivais secrètement amoureuse de Côme, mon demi-frère et Alpha de notre meute. Par une nuit de pleine lune, je me suis faufilée dans le siège de sa compagnie pour lui faire une surprise. Mais alors que j'approchais de son bureau, je les ai entendus, derrière la porte entrouverte : lui et Marcus, le Bêta de la tribu. « Tu traînes toujours avec cette demi-sœur, Aria ? Quand comptes-tu rompre ? Ne me dis pas que tu as des vrais sentiments pour elle. » Le rire froid de Côme m'a transpercé l'âme : « Des sentiments ? Elle n'est qu'une Bêta qui s'est jetée à moi. Une proie facile, tout simplement. Pourquoi me priver ? Ma Luna ne sera qu'Hélène. » « Son père a trahi la meute et a été banni. Sa mère a séduit le mien, causant la mort de ma propre mère. Ces six années… n'étaient qu'une punition. Elle mérite pleinement ce qui lui arrive. » Ainsi, le lien que je chérissais tant… n'avait toujours été qu'une vengeance minutieusement ourdie. Ces paroles douces, ces caresses tendres… tout n'était que MENSONGES imprégnés de venin. Si c'était le cas, je partirais. J'espérais seulement qu'il ne le regretterait pas !

Le jour de la Saint-Valentin, sept ans après notre lien d'union, Alpha Ethan était en déplacement avec sa Bêta. Plus tard, il m'a offert un collier en diamant bleu d'une valeur de plusieurs millions euros, comme cadeau d'excuse. Tout le monde pensait qu'il m'aimait à la folie. Pourtant, j'ai découvert que sa Bêta portait des bijoux encore plus rares : un collier, des boucles d'oreilles et un bracelet. Un ensemble complet ! J'ai fait semblant de ne rien savoir, continuant à jouer le rôle de la Luna parfaite et dévouée. Tous deux, en quête de frissons, se laissaient aller à leurs gémissements et à leurs caresses dans le bureau, pendant que je dormais paisiblement à l'étage. Le lendemain, Ethan m'a offert une nouvelle pièce : un châle de renard bleu. C'est à ce moment-là que j'ai compris : chaque cadeau bleu n'était qu'un symbole de sa trahison, un remords déguisé sous la forme d'un luxe. Mon dressing était rempli des cadeaux bleus, empilés comme des preuves silencieuses de son infidélité. Alors, moi aussi, j'ai préparé un cadeau pour Ethan. Il ne saura jamais que je suis sur le point de partir, et qu'il ne me retrouvera plus jamais.

Mon Alpha destiné veut gâter sa maîtresse Vivianne en la faisant passer pour la Luna pendant un temps. Alors, il prétend avoir perdu notre lien et refuse même d'admettre que je suis sa Luna. En passant devant le bureau, j'entends la voix mielleuse de Vivianne : « Mon amour, si je joue le rôle de la Luna, tu pourras aussi me marquer chaque nuit ? Mais… Sophia ne va pas se douter de quelque chose ? Vous êtes partenaires depuis cinq ans, après tout. » « Que pourrait-elle faire ? Elle ne peut pas quitter la meute, et encore moins me quitter. », ricane Éthan. « Sophia ? Cette idiote. Je lui ai dit que notre lien s'était rompu, et elle a vraiment cru que nous n'étions plus liés. Même si elle découvrait la vérité, elle se contenterait de me céder le titre de Luna et retournerait s'occuper de ses potions. La seule Luna dans mon cœur, c'est toi, ma chérie. » Je m'arrête net. Je ne le dénonce pas. Une douleur aiguë me traverse tandis que notre lien de partenaires s'affaiblit. Je me retourne et m'en vais. Qu'ils croient à leur petit plan parfait. Ils découvriront bientôt la belle surprise que cette « idiote » leur réserve.

I've been married to the prince of the underworld for ten years and have endured countless life-or-death situations by his side. My hands, once trained to play the piano, are covered in calluses from holding guns and stained with blood. But at 28, my husband ends up falling for a young woman from the slums. She's as delicate and pure as a chamomile. She's his well-kept little secret—until I run into them at the woman's prenatal appointment one day. I storm up to him, demanding an explanation, only for him to nonchalantly hand me divorce papers. "Sonia is a devout follower of the church and can't have a child before marriage. I must make an honest woman out of her. Sign these, and you'll get 40% of the company's shares." I refuse to do as told, so he corners me. In the end, he has my crippled younger brother tied up and forced under a hydraulic compression machine. "Sign the papers, Maeve, or watch your brother become a human mince pie. The choice is yours." I fall on my knees and beg him to stop. As the machine turns on, my hands fly to my aching lower belly, and I scream as I lose consciousness. When I wake up again, I'm back in the hospital, in the same spot where I ran into my husband and his mistress at her prenatal appointment. This time, I don't confront him. Overnight, I make arrangements with a sanatorium abroad, get divorced, and run away from home. Yet the moment I truly disappear, my husband loses his mind.

In spite of her innocence, she's determined to make it up to him. Isaac Warren is bad business; the kind of bad business that requires focus and determination in order to stay alive. It’s also the kind that caused him to shut himself off from serious relationships after the brutal murder of his fiancé three years ago.

King Lincoln was just a young man of 28, but he had the strength of a thousand men. His name had been written in the book of records as the youngest ruler of the Most Powerful Kingdom. His Kingdom was the envy of all the 11 Kingdoms. But One day, one of Lincoln's numerous enemies almost won over him. His attack had almost worked as he was able to hit Lincoln with an extremely poisoned arrow during a war. Lincoln didn't die at the battlefield, no. But when he was taken back to the palace, they got to see how badly injured he was. The arrow was poisoned with a rare substance and it's effect was draining the life out of Lincoln - bit by bit. Physicians tried all they could, but couldn't find a cure. His sister was worried, his three brides were paranoid as well. Everyone wanted a solution for their King because the fall of Lincoln would be the fall of the Kingdom. Finally, his sister found a solution. There was a healer - a young lady with special healing abilities who was likely to heal the King. But she was someone that was locked up and restricted from associating with outsiders by her father. Roseline was never permitted to go out for reasons best known to her father and she wondered why. Lincoln's sister was overly worried about her brother's life and figured she had to get the healer by all means to heal her brother. But would that be possible since Roseline's father particularly hated the King? And even if it was possible, there was going to be a little consequence if Roseline succeeded in healing the King. He'd become a sex addict; addicted to her alone.
