Damit Picture

Two pink lines on a pregnancy test. I was going to surprise my husband, Vince, the Moretti family heir. Instead, the surprise was on me. A pair of black lace panties—not mine—left in his car. The air reeked of cheap perfume and betrayal. I stormed his casino, demanding answers. But I found her in his private suite. Sophia. She smirked, looking me up and down. “You must be the wife. I’ve seen your picture on the nightstand. Vince says you’re a boring little nun. Says he can’t even get hard looking at you.” I snapped. My hand shaking, I hurled a glass of red wine in her face. She shrieked, stumbled back, and crashed into a glass cabinet. Blood bloomed across the carpet. Vince burst in and slapped me so hard I hit the floor. "Are you insane?! She's carrying my heir!" My heart shattered. As I fell, a darker pool of blood spread beneath me. Our baby. I was miscarrying. And when forced to choose between his wife and his whore, Vince chose her. He forgot who put him on his throne. I’m not some trophy wife he can discard. I am a DeLuca. A princess of the underworld. So for revenge, I married his worst enemy, Dante Costello. And when we burned his empire to the ground, Vince finally broke. He got on his knees and begged me to come back.

Saint has been a nightmare and a bane of his existence since his college days. Aiden believed the universe was fucking with him when coincidentally, he and Saint ends up in the same agency and line of work– as secret agents, but Aiden tries his best to ignore Saint and mind his business.

He was proven wrong when their first ever mission included them getting into a fake marriage and adopting a child to form a perfect family picture in order to catch a criminal. Aidan believed his life was doomed after that. He has never gotten along with Saint and has spent most of his life wishing he could murder him. But now he has to move into a house with Saint along with their newly adopted child, and act like a happy family. How the hell was that gonna be possible? Aiden has always been straight and his boss assured him this mission wouldn’t affect that since they’re only gonna be putting on a front, but that was before Aiden got kissed by Saint and liked it. Now, he wasn’t sure if he wanted those touches and kisses to be real or not. He never counted on falling for Saint of all people, or growing obsessed with their adopted child and not wanting to part ways with the little family that was fake from the very beginning.

Excerpt from a chapter : His lips curled in disdain and just when he was about to unwrap the towel, I quickly turned around showing my back to him. What the fucking hell? What if I saw his thing? "Don't you care? Like honestly, couldn't you just order like your usual self to get the hell out of your bedroom or just . . . turn around for you to change? You could have at least warned me that you were freeing your willy, I would have closed my eyes!" I rambled and felt myself feeling all jittery again. He didn't reply and I could mentally picture him scoffing or rolling his pretty eyes. A part of me which never saw a grown man's buddy down there was curious as to how it looked. Was it really long and monstrous like a huge sausage they describe in erotic scenes? Was it soft like a banana or hard like a radish? Was is it like spring that when you poke it, it would go wagging like a dog's tail? A teeny little peek would do no harm . . .

"Notorious Bachelor Lucas Hart, 29, proposes to his first love and childhood sweetheart, Natalia Rossi!" My heart broke as I saw the picture of Lucas proposing to Natalia on one knee, the same ring I found in his jacket pocket, in the photo being slid onto her finger. The camera zoomed in on Natalia’s face and a gasp escaped my lips. It was like staring at myself, but a thinner, sicklier version of me. I picked up my phone and dialed a number I hadn’t called in three years.  "Bianca," My father’s voice answered, "To what do I owe this sudden call?" "Dad," I said, "I accept.

Now her ex is on his knees, begging for a second chance. Will Bianca risk her heart again for the man who shattered it, or will she choose the powerful husband who sees her true worth?

Nachdem mein Verlobter, der Capo der Familie Moretti, mich drei Tage lang mit Schweigen gestraft hatte, nahm er seine Assistentin Bella mit auf einen Inselurlaub. Er hatte erwartet, dass ich wie sonst immer vor Eifersucht fast den Verstand verlor. Doch als er einen Monat später nach Valmont zurückkehrte, fand er eine andere Frau vor. Er zwang mich, mein Eckbüro aufzugeben. Ich stritt nicht mit ihm. Ich packte einfach meine Sachen und überließ es ihr. Um Bella in Szene zu setzen, stellte er mich beim jährlichen Familientreffen vor einem wichtigen Geschäftspartner bloß, nur damit sie glänzen konnte. Ich versuchte nicht einmal, meine Unschuld zu beweisen. Ich nahm die Rüge der Familie einfach hin und akzeptierte meine Strafe. Als Lucas Bella die Leitung des profitabelsten Geschäfts der Familie übertragen wollte, wurde ich nicht einmal wütend. Ich händigte ihm alle nötigen Unterlagen kampflos aus und ließ ihn die Macht neu verteilen, wie es ihm gefiel. Bella war sichtlich zufrieden. „Na, was habe ich dir gesagt? So eine Frau braucht einfach eine harte Hand. Ein einziger Inselurlaub, und schon hat sie panische Angst, dich zu verlieren. Sieh dir nur an, wie gehorsam sie jetzt ist.“ Lucas glaubte ihr das. Er lobte Bella sogar für ihren Scharfsinn. Dann versprach er mir etwas, was er noch nie zuvor getan hatte. Er sagte, unsere Hochzeit würde so groß werden, dass sie in der Unterwelt von Valmont zur Legende werden würde. Aber offenbar hatte er die Scheidungsvereinbarung vergessen, die er unterschrieben hatte. Ich hatte sie ihm unmittelbar vor der Abfahrt in die Hand gedrückt, kurz bevor er mit Bella ins Auto stieg. Ich hatte längst alle Verbindungen zu ihm gekappt. Ich ging. Und er hatte keine Ahnung.

Ernest West left the courtroom with wings on his feet. Leaving Don James was, in Ernest's opinion, the best thing he had ever done for himself. No more tense silences. No more Don's silent, smothering adoration. Ernest had been released. Three years have passed since then. Now, what once was the best choice has turned into a noose around their necks. There is a sinister provision buried within the small print of the divorce papers that Ernest's attorney overlooked; they are obligated to live together and manage the small beach hotel that they used to own as a couple for an entire year. Thus, Ernest finds himself back amid the groaning wooden boards and salty panes of glass within the walls of where their love once withered away. However, Don is no longer the same weak and longing man that Ernest abandoned. He now stands as an intimidating pillar of cold indifference, forged by the stony resolve and lack of concern. Not even a passing glance comes from Don’s green eyes, which regard Ernest with only polite reserve. A year of closeness. A year of unresolved tension. A year of dealing with each and every lie that Ernest tried to bury beneath "irreconcilable differences." In the beginning, the plan is a silent battle—appointments stuck to the fridge, dinners taken in different corners of the house. Yet, there’s something about closeness that reveals the whole truth. Ernest discovers the picture albums that Don never discarded. He listens to telephone conversations in the dead of night that reveal the loneliness he feels himself. And gradually, painfully, he discovers that the greatest error made wasn’t the separation. It was letting Don leave.
