« Tu as ce genre de beauté, pas vrai ? Celle qui rend les hommes fous. Cette pièce était pleine de filles nues, mais toi, dès que tu es entrée, ils ont tous perdu la tête. Ils te voulaient. » Ses doigts ont glissé le long de ma mâchoire avant d'attraper mon menton pour le relever. « Ce qu'ils ignorent, c'est que tu es déjà à moi. » J'ai dégluti avec difficulté et retenu mon souffle. Il s'est installé dans un fauteuil, a déboutonné sa veste et s'est adossé nonchalamment. Les jambes écartées, il avait l'allure d'un roi sur son trône. « À partir de maintenant, Ariella Costa, tu es mon jouet », sa voix s'est faite plus basse, plus dangereuse, « je fais ce que je veux de toi. Ton corps, ton esprit et ton âme m'appartiennent. » Un sourire a étiré ses lèvres. Ses yeux ne quittaient pas les miens : « Tu es à moi ! »

When my CEO wife, Nina Wynn, learned I voluntarily handed a multimillion-dollar project to her favorite assistant, Zach Channing, she thought her three-month cold treatment finally worked. Beaming, she suddenly suggested we fly to Ivesland for our long-delayed honeymoon. When Zach found out, he became jealous and threatened to quit. Panicked, she spent three days and nights comforting him, then canceled our honeymoon again with the excuse of a business trip, giving him my ticket instead. Later, she casually explained to me, "Romance is trivial. Work comes first. As the boss, I have to prioritize. You’re my husband; you should understand." I looked at Zach’s latest social post, which was a photo of the two of them leaning intimately with their hands forming a heart, and said nothing. I only nod. Thinking I’d become more thoughtful and obedient, she was pleased. She even promised to make it up to me with a more romantic honeymoon when they got back home. However, unbeknownst to her, I’d already resigned. The divorce papers were already signed, and there was no future for us ever again.
