Daphne Du Maurier Rebecca

Caleb Wright n’a jamais voulu d’amour. Encore moins d’une épouse. Tout ce qu’il désire, c’est une descendance pour conserver l’héritage familial. Un enfant, pas une femme dans les pattes. Lorsque l’agence de maternité porteuse lui propose des candidates, il est prêt à choisir froidement… jusqu’à ce qu’une femme se présente à l’entretien. Romy Durel. Son ancienne secrétaire. Discrète, douce, invisible. Et secrètement amoureuse de lui depuis trois ans.

As soon as I've moved into my new home, Rebecca Zangler, the white-collar office worker who lives across from my apartment calls the cops on me. Her reasoning is that I've been peeping on her whenever she's taking a shower because my unrequited love toward her has transformed into brimming hatred and resentment. When the police show up, Rebecca starts crying her heart out. Then, she begins berating me. "You pervert! Every night, you're the one peeping at me with your binoculars! You even uploaded my photos to the Internet! "I saw everything, you know! Those eyes of yours are nothing but lecherous! You really are disgusting!" My neighbors begin pointing at me while mumbling about me. Someone even comes over and starts roughing me up and calling me a scumbag. "Perverts like him should be chemically castrated!" "He looks decent at first glance, but you'll never know that he's actually a peeping Tom!" When faced against everyone's backlash, I take off my sunglasses quietly, revealing my cloudy eyes. "Officer, may I ask how can a blind man like me peep on others in the first place?"

“…If she gets close to me by chance, I’ll be force to separate you from her.” He threatened his wife. “If we aren’t welcome, we may as well leave your house and go back to where we came from.” She replied boldly. “And you think I’ll allow you to go that easily?…You’re my wife and whatever I say stands. Don’t think you can get away from me easily.” ******************************************* Rebecca’s only desire is to be with the one she thinks loves her. But her heart gets broken when he leaves her and ends the relationship. She conceals her pregnancy and deals with her burden alone. Duke Williams seeks her hand in marriage and marries her, well aware that she is pregnant with another’s child. As she lives with her husband, she realizes the true reasons why he had married her. Duke Williams has been her secret admirer, obsessed with her beauty and only wants her for himself. Rebecca’s love life gets threatened when her child’s father returns and an unexpected ex moves into her husband’s house. Will she be able to save everything she loves or let her home fall apart?

My adopted sister, Rebecca Lawson, steals the gift I painstakingly prepared for the Don and presents it at a family gathering. Everyone in the room is stunned. So, my parents turned what was supposed to be my engagement party into a celebration banquet for Rebecca. They sit together and raise their champagne glasses to toast her, while I collapse alone in the bathroom, hitting my head and bleeding out. After regaining some consciousness, I use all my strength to call them for help, but only the mafia's consigliere and my fiance—Yves Gilbert—answers my calls. "Tessa, why didn't you come to Rebecca's celebration? She felt hurt by your absence! I know you've always been jealous that she could easily gain everyone's affection, but it's what she deserves. "Quickly come over and apologize to Rebecca. Don't disappoint us any further." Yves hangs up the phone after saying that. I stare at the darkened phone screen with an unsightly smile. They don't know that the gift I have prepared for the Don is still a half-finished product and needs to be repaired. However, I don't have the time to tell them. Because I am about to die of illness.

Logan Johnston learned life the hard way. He was born out of unwanted pregnancy and his mother despised him so much. Kaka-graduate pa lamang niya noon ng highschool ng iwan silang dalawa ng kapatid niya ng kanilang ina. Kinailangan niyang pumasok sa kung anu-anong trabaho upang matustusan pagkain, tirahan, pati na rin ang pag-aaral ni Laine, ang half-sister niya.

Logan willingly joined Shan in order to save his sister's life. Makalipas ang ilang taon, napakarami nang nagbago sa kanilang buhay. Napagtapos niya ang kaniyang kapatid, nakapagtayo ng negosyo na lumago at nakilala sa buong mundo, at nakapagpundar ng ari-arian.

To leave the SDS, he must find a wife who will genuinely love him despite the fact that he is a male hooker. That's when he met Rebecca Watkins. A mystery woman who came from a prominent family but is willing to pay him a million for his service. He promised himself that Rebecca will be his last client before leaving SDS. Ngunit tila kakaibang misteryo ang bumabalot kay Rebecca at hindi niya maiwasan ang unti-unting pagkahulog ng kaniyang loob sa dalaga...

"Salut, oui, tu ne rêves pas, c'est bien la ronde Kelly," me dis-je intérieurement en voyant l'expression mécontente de Jason, visiblement déçu. Les invités rient de nous. Ils nous affublent de toutes sortes de surnoms. "Le prince charmant et Kelly, la mangeuse de pancakes" est celui dont je me souviens tristement. "Moi, Jason Bentley du clan du Sud, je te rejette, Kelly Thompson, comme compagne et Reine Luna," déclara-t-il avec fermeté. *** Kelly Thompson, une jeune louve de dix-huit ans, voluptueuse et sans loup intérieur, admire en secret Jason Bentley, l’héritier du trône du puissant clan du Sud, depuis plusieurs années. Malheureusement pour Kelly, Jason, l’héritier Alpha, ne lui rend pas son affection. Il est déjà épris de Betty Nord, la fille élancée des anciens Gammas de son père. Cependant, Kelly a un avantage sur la frêle Betty grâce à un serment solennel prononcé par le père de Jason, le Roi Alpha Don Bentley. Ce dernier a promis que son fils épouserait la fille de ses Betas, morts il y a deux ans en combattant les plus féroces adversaires du clan du Nord pour protéger l’héritier Alpha. Mais, bien sûr, rien ne se passe aussi simplement que Kelly l’avait imaginé.

Rebecca Augustine married into one of the world's most prestigious families, with her husband being Leonard Babbitt, who is known as the world's most eligible bachelor. People gossiped about her. Looking at her newly purchased top-tier handbags and jewelry, she laughed, "My husband has someone else in his heart. He only married me to please his parents. He gives me million dollar as pocket money every month but never comes home."

Im neunten Monat, kurz vor der Entbindung, war mein Körper schwer von dem Baby, das jeden Tag kommen konnte. Doch mein Ehemann Vito Falcone, Underboss der Familie, hatte mich weggesperrt. In einem sterilen, unterirdischen Krankenzimmer injizierte er mir einen Wehenhemmer. Als ich vor Schmerzen schrie, befahl er kalt, ich solle es ertragen. Seine Schwägerin Scarlett würde nämlich gleichzeitig gebären. Ein Blutschwur mit seinem verstorbenen Bruder bestimmte, dass der erstgeborene Sohn das lukrative Westküsten-Territorium der Familie erben sollte. „Dieses Erbe gehört Scarletts Kind“, sagte er. „Nach Daemons Tod ist sie allein und mittellos. Du hast meine Liebe, Alessia, ganz und gar. Ich muss nur sicherstellen, dass sie sicher entbindet. Danach bist du dran.“ Die Medikamente waren eine ständige Folter. Ich flehte ihn an, mich ins Krankenhaus zu bringen. Da packte er mich am Hals und zwang mich, seinem eisigen Blick zu begegnen. „Genug mit dem Theater! Mir ist klar, dass es dir gut geht. Du willst nur das Erbe stehlen. Um Scarlett auszustechen, greifst du zu allem.“ Mein Gesicht erbleichte. Mein Körper verkrampfte sich, als ich verzweifelt flüsterte: „Das Baby kommt ... Das Erbe ist mir egal. Ich liebe dich, ich will nur, dass unser Kind sicher zur Welt kommt!“ Er lächelte höhnisch. „Wärest du wirklich so unschuldig und würdest du mich auch nur ein wenig lieben, hättest du Scarlett nie gezwungen, den Ehevertrag zu unterschreiben, der ihrem Kind das Erbrecht nimmt. Keine Sorge, ich komme zurück, sobald sie entbunden hat. Du trägst schließlich mein Fleisch und Blut.“ Die ganze Nacht wachte er vor Scarletts Kreißsaal. Erst beim Anblick des Neugeborenen in ihren Armen erinnerte er sich an mich. Er schickte Marco, seinen zweiten Mann, um mich freizulassen. Doch als Marco endlich anrief, zitterte seine Stimme. „Boss ... die Signora und das Baby... sie sind weg.“ In diesem Moment zerbrach Vito Falcone.
