Devil Due

Blood pooled beneath Eloise's head just moments after she discovered the truth about her husband. The man she built her world around wanted nothing more than to destroy her. He stole everything, her company, her pride, her future, and left her to die. But as the darkness closed in on her, fate offered a second chance. ** Now she is back, with bloodstained memories and a thirst for revenge. Desperate and broken, she made a deal with the devil, a man powerful enough to hand her the weapons. But his help comes at a price. To be owned by him. For four months. A strict deal with no strings or feelings attached. But nothing about him is simple. He's infuriating, intoxicating, and every second with him chips away at her control. What starts as business quickly spirals into a dangerous game of possession, secrets, and desire. And when hearts get involved, the real cost becomes something more than she bargained for. He’s the last man she should trust… and the only one who makes her lose control.

Conscious of the ramifications of defying their parents' mandates, both Emma and Luca acquiesce to the matrimonial contract with apprehension. Yet, beneath the facade of compliance, they each harbor profound sentiments for one another, emotions that have remained suppressed over the years. Will they succeed in transcending their animosity and rekindling their affection before external forces orchestrate their separation? Only time will unveil the outcome.

Durante cinco años, lo apoyé en silencio, ayudando a mi novio a pasar de ser un simple asistente legal a socio en Ponce & Beltrán Abogados. En la ceremonia anual de premios del despacho, yo estaba emocionada, lista para celebrar con él y darle una sorpresa. Pero entonces lo vi subir al escenario con una compañera. Estaban uno al lado del otro, con una cercanía que no dejaba lugar a dudas. —Rodrigo está donde está, gracias a mí, gracias a que estuve detrás de él planeando cada paso. Tania presumió, con una sonrisa victoriosa. Él sonrió y le dio la razón. —Es cierto. Sin Tania, yo no estaría hoy aquí. La sala estalló en una ovación y todos los presentes se apresuraron a felicitarlos. Yo, de pie entre la multitud, sentí que el suelo se abría bajo mis pies. Salí del salón y le marqué a mi asistente. —Retírale todo el apoyo de nuestros contactos a Rodrigo y cancela cualquier colaboración que tengamos. También vamos a dejar de usar influencias para apoyarlo en ese caso irregular que tomó. Que asuma las consecuencias solo.

My two childhood friends act like they don't see anything when their assistant locks me in a cold storage. They're filled with regret when I thoroughly vanish.

Il m’a rachetée comme on achète une voiture. Maintenant… je suis à lui. Quand son père perd tout au jeu, Léna se retrouve vendue à un riche inconnu pour éponger les dettes. Elle croit à une mauvaise blague… jusqu’à ce qu’elle reconnaisse le regard glacial de l’homme face à elle. Ilyès Blackwood. L’homme qu’elle a giflé en public deux ans plus tôt après une nuit trouble qu’elle a préféré oublier. L’homme qu’elle n’a jamais revu. L’homme qui la déteste. Il ne veut ni son amour, ni son respect. Il veut sa soumission. Son silence. Et son corps. Il fera ce qu’il faut pour qu’elle lui appartienne entièrement avec ou sans son accord.

Ma vie ne m'a jamais appartenu. À dix-huit ans, mon père me vend au Roi Alpha, un homme craint pour sa brutalité et admiré pour son pouvoir. Plongée dans un monde régi par sa volonté de fer, je me résigne à n'être qu'une esclave dans son manoir. Wayne Temple incarne tout ce que je déteste : froid, impitoyable, arrogant et totalement inaccessible. Pourtant, chaque fois qu'il est près de moi, mon cœur traître s'emballe et je n'arrive pas à me décider : dois-je fuir… ou me jeter dans ses bras ? Est-ce là mon destin ? Servir un homme qui ne me considère que comme sa propriété ? Ou bien y a-t-il quelque chose de plus profond derrière ce regard glacial ? Peut-être que je me fais des idées. Fuir est peut-être la meilleure solution, surtout quand je découvre que je porte l'enfant de l'homme le plus haï de la communauté.
