Copper Coins

Elle, c’est une femme sans ressource qui vit dans la maison de quelqu'un d'autre, obligée de porter le chapeau pour le crime de quelqu'un d'autre, forcée de commercer avec quelqu'un et de tomber enceinte.Lui, c’est un jeune seigneur riche et puissant de la ville Yun, qui a estimé qu'elle avait commis de nombreux actes déshonorants et qu'elle avait une réputation ternie par la ruse et la cupidité.Elle essaie de lui réchauffer le cœur mais ne peut rien changer, alors elle disparaît de son côté.Furieux, il chercherait dans tous les coins du monde pour la récupérer.Toute la ville savait qu'il la punirait sévèrement.Elle lui a demandé en désespoir de cause : « J’ai abandonné tout l’argent, pourquoi ne me laisse-tu pas partir ? » Il a dit d'une voix dominatrice : « Tu as volé mon cœur et mon enfant, et tu veux encore t'en sortir ? »

Elle pensait ne passer qu’un simple entretien d’embauche. Lui ne cherchait pas une assistante… mais un moyen de régler un problème bien plus personnel. Alaya, jeune femme ambitieuse mais ruinée par les dettes laissées par son père, se présente dans la luxueuse tour d’Aiden Kane, PDG froid, impitoyable et connu pour ne jamais mêler affaires et sentiments. Mais ce jour-là, il lui propose un contrat inattendu : jouer le rôle de sa fiancée pendant un an pour le sauver d’un mariage arrangé imposé par son conseil d’administration. En échange, il remboursera toutes ses dettes et lui garantira une carrière dans son entreprise. Entre voyages d’affaires aux quatre coins du monde, soirées mondaines où chaque geste est scruté, et un milliardaire qui semble cacher plus de blessures que de richesses, Alaya découvre que ce contrat pourrait bien lui coûter plus que son cœur… et que dans ce jeu dangereux, rompre l’accord pourrait être la plus grave des erreurs.

Betrayed by the two people she loved most, her fiancé and her stepsister, Ella loses everything. Desperate and broken, she chooses death. But fate has other plans. Rescued against her will, Ella wakes up to a nightmare: her greedy foster parents have forced her into marriage with a crippled, disfigured man, Elion Copper. A man the world believes to be poor and unwanted. But Elion is no ordinary man. He is, in truth, the ruthless billionaire bachelor every woman in town secretly desires. Tired of fake love and gold-diggers, Elion hides behind a mask of scars and poverty to test if any woman can love him without his wealth. He is certain no one will ever agree, until Ella. To Elion, Ella’s acceptance feels like mockery. He believes she chose him willingly, and his pride turns into fury. Out of spite, he decides to "sell" her as a servant in his billionaire identity, without revealing that both men are one and the same. Now, Ella finds herself under the mercy of the cold and arrogant real Elion Copper, a man who humiliates her, torments her, and makes her question why life saved her at all. But the deeper the pain, the deeper the truth, the crippled husband, and the cruel master are one. When Ella finally discovers his secret, her world shatters again. Will she forgive the man who broke her beyond repair, or will she walk away even when he is ready to burn the world just to keep her by his side?

When my mother won a million dollars from a lottery ticket, she prepared an envelope for each of her three children. After we opened them, my younger brother and younger sister each found a bank card inside. But from my envelope, two 1-dollar coins clinked onto the floor. Seeing me freeze, a trace of unease flickered across Mother's face. "Cassian," she said hesitantly, "Logan and Sienna suffered a lot growing up because your father passed away so early. So I gave each of them 500 thousand dollars as compensation. "You're the eldest son—like a father to them. Don't fight with them over this, okay?" I glanced down at the faded down jacket I had worn for years, the fabric so worn that it had lost its color. Then, my eyes drifted to my younger brother's limited-edition sneakers and to the designer bag slung over my sister's shoulder. Mother seemed to have forgotten that when Father died, I had only been eight. I smiled faintly. "Alright. I won't fight them for it." Hearing this, Mother let out a long breath of relief. The next second, my voice turned cold. "Then I won't fight for the responsibility of supporting you in your old age either."

Then, I feel it. That cold current in the atmosphere that screams all too loudly of one name. The name I dreaded the most in the whole world and beyond. Lycan king Duncan Smith, my ex-husband! Our shock mirrors each other as we lock gazes but mine is worse. “Ma’am, here’s the man that found your son. Alpha Duncan!” ***** In one single day, Lyra's marriage is turned upside down, as her husband, the Lycan king, brings in a pregnant woman who is none other than the woman who tormented her endlessly in her previous pack. But that is just the beginning. Lyra soon finds out that her husband has never truly loved her. He was only trying to use her for his selfish purpose, and to top it all, she gets framed for treason and thrown out of the pack. Determined to make a name for herself and pay back those who betrayed her in their own coins, she goes back into her old pack. Five years later, she's now the Alpha of the Blood Moon pack and what more can she ask for when she has the most protective and supportive beta by her side who plays "daddy" roles to her five year old son. What happens when some unexpected spark begin to ignite between them? But things are always not predictable in life— Her ex-husband soon regrets his actions and comes back begging on his knees.

BLURB: I am Melissa Copper, chosen by the moon goddess as the fated mate of the Alpha triplets. I have always dreamt of being their mate but they cruelly discarded me, choosing my Twin sister Amelia over me at the Alphas coronation ceremony. They have always belonged to her. They despised me, that I know, I have always seen it in their eyes but the mate bond keeps drawing me closer to them. Now, I have decided to leave, to end the whole circus. I begged them to reject me, but they wouldn't do it. They wouldn't let me go… **** “Melissa, Please come back to us!" They all echoed in unison. “We want you…we have always wanted you!” Caleb said softly, his voice trailing off his breath, as he pinned me to the wall. I kept staring at his enticing lips, but I shook my head to get rid of the desires burning within me. “We promise to treat you right!” Cypril said, his breath warm and ticklish against my fingers that he brought up to his lips, as his other hand found its way to the warm spot between my thighs. I clenched my legs together, trying to force out his hands from my thighs but he didn't budge. “You will always be ours. Just come back already!" Cain pleading eyes met mine, as he leaned in pressing a kiss on my lips, his hands tracing the corner of my ear. “No." I said, my voice louder than I had expected it to be, especially with their bodies pressed against mine and their lips creating sparks across my body. “I am not coming back…go back to Amelia.”

"I’ll make you beg and cry out my name, Father Hale. You won’t even be able to face the altar without remembering how you came apart on my tongue." Vincente terrifying voice admitted curling around the crucifix at my throat as his rough, unforgiving fingers, pinned my wrists above my head. His thigh shoved between mine, spreading me open, and the heavy press of his cock ground against the thin barrier of my underclothes. Mine answered before I could stop it, swelling shamefully through the thin clothes that clung like a second, traitorous skin. "Feel that?" he whispered, rolling slow, merciless circles that tore a broken sound from my throat. "That’s your body confessing louder than any prayer." I tried to twist away, but the movement only dragged my hips harder against him. "Please," I gasped, the word cracking open like a wound. "Vicente —God—" "God’s not here," he growled, his teeth grazing the shell of my ear. "Only me, you don't call God when you are about to sin." His hands slipped under me working on me. I bit my lip until I tasted blood, but the moan slipped out anyway, raw and ragged. "Say it. Say you want me," he demanded, his thumb circling the slick head until my vision blurred. "Beg me to stop. Or beg me not to." A sob tore free as my body arched, chasing the pleasure I hated myself for craving. "Please...Vicente—" He swallowed the broken plea with his mouth, teeth and tongue, sucking the faint copper of my own blood. When he pulled back, his eyes glittered like black glass. "Oh." He smiled, "You mean I can continue?" And my last hope to get him stop chattered.

Dans l’ombre de son appartement, elle observait les plans du quartier général de Viktor, le mafieux le plus puissant du pays. Chaque détail comptait, chaque mouvement était essentiel. Aujourd'hui, elle allait frapper au cœur du royaume de Viktor. Le casse était risqué, mais la récompense en valait la peine. Une somme colossale. De l’argent qui changerait sa vie, si elle parvenait à s’échapper. Selena n’était pas comme les autres voleuses. Elle était plus que douée, elle était une légende. Ses attaques étaient propres, silencieuses, invisibles. Jamais un indice, jamais une trace. Cela faisait des années qu’elle vivait dans l’ombre, esquivant la police, les flics de la mafia et tout ce qui pouvait se dresser sur son chemin. Mais aujourd’hui, l’enjeu était plus grand. Elle ne volait pas seulement de l’argent. Elle volait la richesse d’un homme qui n’avait jamais connu de défaite, un homme qui contrôlait tout : les hommes, les affaires, la peur. Viktor Aleksandrov. Son nom était murmuré dans les coins les plus sombres de la ville, un spectre qui faisait trembler quiconque osait le défier. Il était un chef de la mafia d’une cruauté inouïe, un homme qui n’avait ni cœur ni pitié.
