E Piu Ti Penso

PROLOGUE Autrefois, dans un royaume d’Afrique centrale, un roi cruel régnait avec une poigne de fer. Par pur caprice, il faisait enlever toutes les jeunes filles âgées de dix-huit ans pour en faire ses esclaves. Parmi ces malheureuses, se trouvait **Aurora**, une ravissante jeune fille à la peau d’ébène et au regard profond et perçant. Le jour de son dix-huitième anniversaire, alors que sa famille célébrait cet instant précieux, des gardes royaux firent irruption dans le village. Ils l'enlevèrent de force pour la conduire au palais royal. Elle était destinée à devenir l’esclave du prince fraîchement couronné, **Toussaint III**, héritier du trône et fils du tyran.

Lorsqu’une célèbre actrice internationale, Éléa Morgan, disparaît mystérieusement à la veille d’une tournée médiatique très attendue, le monde s’interroge. Peu après, une femme énigmatique, Isis Valen, surgit sous les traits d’Éléa, maîtrisant ses gestes, sa voix, ses tics… à la perfection. Elle trompe les fans, les journalistes et même l’entourage proche de la star y compris son mari, Hugo, et leur petit garçon, Milo, âgé de 2 ans. Mais qui est-elle vraiment ? Et que cherche-t-elle en prenant la place d’Éléa ? À mesure que l’histoire avance, on découvre qu’Isis n’est pas une simple imitatrice : elle partage un lien profond, sombre et ancien avec la véritable Éléa. Ce vol d’identité n’est que la première étape d’un plan de vengeance méticuleux, nourri par des blessures d’enfance et un passé commun longtemps enfoui. Tandis qu’Éléa, retenue prisonnière dans un lieu inconnu, tente de retrouver sa liberté, sa voix et son fils, un jeu d’illusions et de manipulations se déploie autour de la famille Morgan. Entre faux-semblants, trahisons et révélations, la frontière entre vérité et mensonge devient aussi fragile que le reflet d’un miroir brisé.

[Comprei meu Íncubo há um mês, qual seria o motivo para ele repelir meu toque?] Franzi a testa enquanto digitava a pergunta para o suporte ao cliente. O atendimento foi impecável. [Os Íncubos da nossa loja geralmente anseiam por ficar grudados em suas mestras, essa situação sugere um defeito. Posso solicitar a troca para você, e o novo chegará em uma semana.] Observei Thiago, que correspondia exatamente ao meu ideal estético. Decidi observá-lo por mais um tempo antes de recorrer à assistência técnica. Ele era perfeito demais aos meus olhos para ser descartado tão facilmente. Porém, durante um jantar em família, percebi que meu Íncubo reagia à presença da minha meia-irmã, sentada à nossa frente. Só então me recordei, vagamente, que fora ela quem abrira a encomenda no dia da entrega. À noite, contatei o suporte novamente. [O novo modelo chega em uma semana, correto? Por favor, envie-me outro.]

Eu me apaixonei pelo amigo do meu pai — o homem que eu deveria chamar de "tio", Kael Viremont. Por um tempo, achei que ele também me amava. Nós até tínhamos uma promessa boba — que, se eu chegasse aos vinte e sete anos e ainda quisesse ficar com ele, então poderíamos ficar juntos, publicamente. Cinco dias antes do meu aniversário de vinte e sete anos, eu o ouvi dizendo que nunca gostou de mim, que ele iria se casar com sua amiga de infância. E, como se isso não fosse cruel o suficiente, ele estava planejando usar o casamento para se livrar de mim de vez. Então eu fiz a única coisa que deveria ter feito há muito tempo — aceitei que ele e eu nunca pertenceríamos ao mesmo mundo… e desapareci da vida dele para sempre.

Sou casada com Renato Vieira há dez anos. Conheci todas as namoradas que ele teve desde o nosso casamento. Sempre que ele se cansava e queria trocar de companhia, eu virava a desculpa perfeita para ele terminar com cada uma delas. — Se você se casar comigo, vai acabar ficando como ela. No fim, a relação fica tão familiar que não sobra nem um pingo de novidade. No nosso aniversário de casamento, eu enxugava as lágrimas da última garota que ele tinha acabado de abandonar, enquanto ele assistia a um filme com a nova namorada. Depois de gastar uma caixa inteira de lenços, vi em seus olhos a imagem de quem eu já tinha sido um dia. Então, pedi o divórcio a Renato. Ele, pela primeira vez, pareceu confuso: — Não quer esperar mais um pouco? Quem sabe eu não mude e volte a ser o mesmo? Sorri de leve, sem responder, e comprei uma passagem para o outro lado do oceano. Já que não vou esperar pelo seu arrependimento, sigo eu primeiro.

Ashley ran deep into the forest, tears streaming down her face. Her classmates had gone too far this time. The full moon illuminated her path as she stumbled through the woods, eventually stopping at a tree, breathless. She noticed the absence of party lights and realized she was deep in the forest. Her new dress was stained with blood, and more tears fell as she looked down at the mess. Looking up, she screamed in agony before collapsing, hugging her knees, shivering with fear. "Somebody help me," she whispered. Meanwhile, a creature with large paws raced through the forest, its grey fur ruffling in the wind. It stopped, sensing blood. Without hesitation, it followed the scent at top speed. Ashley started hearing noises and raised her head. "Hello? Is anyone there?" she called out, nervous. She noticed a blue glowing object behind the bushes, resembling eyes, and heard a howl. Terrified, she gasped… She just came in contact with a wolf!

It’s one thing to have a family It’s another thing to have a family that cares about you And it’s something else to have a family who doesn’t give a shit about you.

Now, her Aunt is tired of taking care of her and wants to sell her off. She succeeds in selling her off, but fortunately, she is bought by a sweet and handsome billionaire named Ethan Cross.

“We shouldn’t be doing this,” his raspy voice dripped with lust and uncertainty as his eyes scanned my exposed cleavages, “your father…” “Shhh.” I stopped him mid-way, placing my finger on his soft lips, “We both want this. I have seen the way you look at me, Mr. Richard. Do not hold back now.” I whispered sultrily. He swallowed hard and I saw him clench his well-chiseled jaws. I opened my mouth to continue my protest when all of a sudden, he grabbed me by the waist, pulled me closer and covered my lips with his in the hungriest manner ever. My body melted, succumbing to his burning desire. *** He was my father’s childhood best friend. He was always there for me since I lost my mother at the age of four. My father grieved hard and found it difficult to recover for many years, so Mr Richard was the father figure I had. However, he left the country after my thirteenth birthday and I almost forgot about him until he returned. I had turned twenty-one and when I laid my eyes on him, all my childhood memories came rushing back. But that wasn’t all there was. I noticed how hot and sexy he looked for that age and how his gaze lingered way too long on my mature body. And then, fate kept bringing us together, all I had to do was call on him. He was just being nice, right? Nothing more should have happened but my body refused to listen to my brain. I wanted him! I wanted him around me all the time, I wanted him to whisper in my ears and punish me accordingly if I did something wrong… I wanted him INSIDE ME.
