Eliza Schuyler

"Marriage was never meant to be a love story. It was simply a transaction. But the heart doesn’t follow the rules." Eliza Foster thought she had no choice. With a sick mother and debts swallowing her family whole, she sees a marriage to Maximilian Grey, a ruthless billionaire, as the only way to survive. Cold, calculating, and emotionally closed off, Maximilian has no use for love. To him, Eliza is nothing more than a pawn in his high-stakes game, a tool to further his empire. But as they begin to live under the same roof, something unexpected stirs between them. Eliza, initially weak and defeated, slowly uncovers a hidden strength that even Maximilian can’t ignore. He begins to see more in her than the fragile woman he thought she was—her tenderness, resilience, and the quiet love she offers without expecting anything in return. As Eliza begins to understand the layers of pain Maximilian hides beneath his cold exterior, questioning everything. Can she continue loving a man who may never return her feelings? Or will Maximilian’s painful past shatter what they are beginning to build? Their marriage was never meant to be about love—but sometimes, the heart has a way of rewriting the rules. Will Maximilian allow himself to love, or will his dark past destroy their chance at happiness? Read now to discover whether love will win or if Eliza’s heart will be left broken.

Once bitten twice shy, wasn't that what they always say about love? Eliza lost her heart to someone while she was at university. She was always the responsible child but a very secretive one. Her secret made her lose all beliefs in love until the right man came along. Mansour grew up thinking he was an Al Fahezi until what he thought was his brother got married. The secrets behind his identity made him question all he knew about his life. Will he come to terms with his origins before he can claim the woman he loves or will secrets ruin them both?

Dans une ville sombre et corrompue, Eliza, une jeune femme marquée par un passé douloureux, est entraînée dans le monde clandestin des combats illégaux et du pouvoir. Enlevée par Damian Volk, un chef impitoyable de la mafia, elle devient une pièce maîtresse dans un jeu de domination et de désir. Damian, froid et calculateur, impose à Eliza une captivité sensuelle et brutale, où la peur se mêle à une attirance incontrôlable. Alors qu’elle tente de résister à l’emprise de Damian, Kael, un combattant rebelle au service de la mafia, entre dans sa vie. Protecteur et dangereux à la fois, Kael représente à la fois une échappatoire et une menace supplémentaire. Tiraillée entre la brutalité passionnelle de Damian et la tendresse sauvage de Kael, Eliza plonge dans une spirale de violence et de plaisir interdit. Mais alors que des secrets liés à son passé refont surface, Eliza comprend qu’elle est au cœur d’une guerre de pouvoir entre les deux hommes. Pour survivre, elle devra choisir entre la soumission à la noirceur ou la liberté au prix du sang. L’histoire explore la frontière entre la violence et le désir, entre la domination et la passion, dans un jeu où l’amour et la haine se confondent dangereusement.

Anong mas masakit—ang mawalan ng anak o ang makitang masaya siyang inabandona ng sariling ama? Para kay Sabrina, isang hiling lang ng anak niyang si Eliza bago ang operasyon: makasama ang ama nito sa birthday niya. Pero sa halip na saya, iniwan siyang naghihintay... hanggang sa sumuka ng dugo at tuluyang lumisan. Ngayon, habang yakap ang abo ng anak, pinanood niyang binuhos ni Elijah ang pagmamahal sa anak niya sa ibang babae. Ngunit paano kung isang araw, bumalik si Elijah na parang walang nangyari—nakangiti, walang bahid ng pagsisisi? Mananatili bang tahimik si Sabrina, o oras na para iparamdam sa kanya kung anong pakiramdam ng maiwan sa huling sandali?
