Fiancé And Fiancée

Her body went still. Then his voice dropped lower, laced with venom and promise. “By the time I'm done with you, you'll wish you never said …I do.” Angelo placed his hand on the small of her back, pulling her closer in… closer than fear, closer than escape. He leaned in, his smile picture perfect for the cameras. “Now kiss your groom,” he murmured. Then…. His breath ghosted over her lips before sealing the moment with a kiss… cold, calculated and final. This wasn't marriage, nor love. Rather, it was war. It was the beginning of her sentence. Millicent felt it in her bones, the quiet threat beneath his touch. She hadn't just married a man. She had stepped into the arms of her executioner. “Smile for the crowd, Mrs. De Angelis,” Angelo whispered in a low and poisonous voice. “Because soon… they'll be watching you burn.” *Click* The cameras flashed. ~~~~~~~~ To save her brother, Millicent Romano agreed to marry the one man her heart never forgot, Angelo De Angelis. But he isn’t the boy she once knew. He’s a Don now. A powerful and ruthless Don who was hell-bent on revenge. To Angelo, she’s nothing more than a pawn, poisoned gift from an enemy empire. The wedding was never about love… it was about war. But desire doesn’t play by the rules of vengeance, and neither does the past they share. As vengeance dives deep, obsession dives ten times deeper. As secrets unravel, there's only one question left…. When love is laced with blood, someone's bound to bleed. In a world where loyalty kills faster than bullets.... Who will fall first?

La veille de mon mariage, je me suis retrouvée dans le lit de mon beau-frère, et j’étais dévastée. Mon fiancé, ainsi que tout le monde, m’ont accusée d’avoir trompé. Je me détestais… jusqu’à ce que je découvre la vérité. C’était un coup monté entre mon fiancé et sa maîtresse — ma meilleure amie — pour se débarrasser de moi. La réputation pour laquelle j’avais travaillé si dur pendant des années, ma vie, mon emploi… tout était en péril. « Épousons-nous et divorçons après un an. » Il n’y avait qu’un seul moyen de me sauver : épouser mon beau-frère aîné, le plus grand ennemi de mon ex-fiancé. Je ne savais pas si c’était une bonne idée, mais rien n’était plus important que de sauver ma carrière et ma réputation. Je n’avais pas le choix…

The day before our engagement, my fiancé, Shawn Williams, said he would accompany me to look for a wedding dress. He still was not there by the time the bridal shop closed. I received a text from him on my way home. Shawn said: [Britney said she ran out of pajamas, so I'll accompany her to go shopping.] I called him, but his junior answered the phone. "Shawn is taking a shower. I can pass along a message if you have something to tell him." Shawn and I had been in a relationship for four years. Whenever I had something important to do, his junior would suddenly need his help with something trivial. He would always abandon me and rush to her side. As expected, he did not hesitate to abandon me on a day as important as today. Feeling exhausted, I calmly replied, "Tell him the wedding is canceled. I don't want to marry him anymore."

Lors de la cérémonie de mes dix-huit ans, le vieil Alpha m'a demandé de choisir l'un de ses deux fils comme compagnon. Celui que je choisirais hériterait du statut d'Alpha à l'avenir. Sans hésiter, j'ai choisi son fils aîné, Cassien. Tout le monde dans la salle de banquet ont eu l'air stupéfaits. Après tout, tous de la tribu de Lune Argentée savaient que moi, la fille de la famille Gabriel, j'étais déjà follement amoureuse de Kévin, le plus jeune fils de l'Alpha. Je lui avais déclaré mes sentiments à plusieurs reprises lors de bals, et j'avais même reçu un coup de dague en argent d'un chasseur pour le protéger. Et Cassien était connu comme le loup-garou le plus cruel et froide, et tout le monde l'évitait. Ce qu'ils ignoraient, c'est que dans ma vie précédente, j'étais devenue la compagne de Kévin. Mais le jour même de notre mariage, il était allé coucher avec ma sœur en secret. Ma mère, furieuse, avait marié ma sœur à un bêta de la tribu de Loups Noirs voisine. Ainsi, Kévin nourrissait d'une haine farouche à mon égard. Il avait ramené cent louves séduisantes et magnifiques d'autres tribus, toutes avec les mêmes yeux bleus que ma sœur. Quand il avait appris que j'étais enceinte, il avait même couché avec elles devant moi. Chaque jour était une agonie. Finalement, le jour où j'accouchais, il m'avait enfermée dans le sous-sol, interdisant à quiconque de s'approcher. Mon bébé était mort étouffé dans mon ventre, et j'étais décédée avec rancune. Peut-être que la Déesse de la Lune a eu pitié de moi et m'a offert une seconde chance : je suis revenue à la vie. Cette fois, j'ai décidé de renoncer à lui pour le laisser vivre son amour. Mais contre toute attente, Kévin a commencé à regretter.

Asya is the most promising ballerina the Royal Ballet has seen in years. Wildly ambitious, back-breakingly disciplined, and immensely driven, she has only one objective: prima ballerina. There is nothing she won't do to earn this once-in-a-generation title. But behind her ballerina grace she hides dark secrets of an inhumanly strict mother, pushing her body to cruel limits, and serial hookups with male dancers. Roman Zharnov is the star of the Russian ballet: young, successful, arrogant, beautiful, and worst of all, talented. He's come to London for a fresh start after earning himself the nickname 'the bad boy of ballet'. It is during a rehearsal that his eye falls on Asya, a nineteen-year-old soloist with spitfire in her eyes and a raw talent capable of silencing an auditorium. But Asya has a partner, and she wants to stay as far away as possible from the Russian prodigy with a reputation that won't seem to leave him alone. In the competitive world of classical ballet Asya is climbing the ranks, earning coveted parts and building a name for herself as a promising soloist. But all the while she is playing a dangerous game behind the curtain. Roman has found the one ballerina that can keep up with him and wants her to partner him, but he will soon realise that animals can't do what she does.

When my fiance's student argued with me, she knocked over a gas cylinder and caused an explosion. As the fire spread, my fiancé rushed into the lab wearing a gas mask. However, his priority was to carry his student to safety. As he left, he said, "Wait for the rescue team! A teacher should treat their students like how a parent treats their children. If something happens to Amanda, you don't deserve to be a teacher!" In the end, I inhaled too much toxic gas and died, never having waited long enough for the rescue team to arrive. Since I was the only one who had mastered the core data of the lab, no one could take my place. This meant that five years of hard work in the lab were destroyed, and Astran University was kicked out of a global research project. Later, William, the once esteemed professor of Astran University, became a pariah—someone whom everyone scorned and reviled.

La nuit précédant notre 17 èmes mariage, mon mari mafieux m'a promis que cette fois-ci, la cérémonie se déroulerait sans encombre. « Je te promets que tout se passera bien cette fois-ci, Vicky », sa voix était solennelle, « j'ai dit à Joanne que demain, quelle que soit l'importance de l'affaire, elle devra se débrouiller toute seule ». Le bébé dans mon ventre avait cinq mois. André et moi étions ensemble depuis trois ans, j'étais enceinte de cinq mois et la cérémonie de mariage n'a pas encore eu lieu. Car avant cela, il avait l'annulée seize fois. A chaque fois, c'était à cause de sa sœur adoptive Joanne. La première fois, elle a dit qu'elle avait de la fièvre, et je suis restée avec lui toute la nuit à l'hôpital sans changer ma robe de mariée, et j'ai découvert qu'elle n'avait qu'un léger rhume. La deuxième fois, elle a dit qu'elle avait des problèmes cardiaques, et André m'a laissée pour y aller, mais elle était en fait en train de prendre le thé avec une amie. La troisième fois, elle a dit qu'elle avait peur du tonnerre, et il m'a quittée au milieu de ses vœux, me laissant seule face à une maison pleine. Mais cette fois-ci, c'était différent. Il y a trois jours, j'ai reçu une lettre du nord de l'Italie, qui était une invitation à revenir de la part de mon père, l'ancien parrain de la famille Durant, lui-même. S'il partait pour Joanne pour la dix-septième fois, je serais partie pour de bon.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made. Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he’s not letting me go.

My fiancé was obsessively possessive. I was the newly found real daughter. To make sure I couldn’t leave him, he had thugs assault me in an alley. Then he showed up pretending to be my savior, taking the beating himself. I developed depression and had no choice but to rely on him. Then the fake daughter showed up with her gang. Grabbing my face, she sneered, "I'm the only daughter of the Shaw family!" I was dunked in a toilet, my face slashed, my body violated, and every wound sewn shut with needles. Blood covered the floor. My fiancé burst in with my parents. Seeing my state, they got furious. "You filthy maid's daughter! How dare you?"
