Le jour de notre anniversaire de mariage, la « muse » de mon mari a posté une échographie d’un fœtus sur Facebook, accompagnée d’un texte : « Merci à cet homme extraordinaire qui m’a soutenue pendant dix ans et m’a offert un fils. » J’ai failli m’évanouir en voyant ça, mais j’ai quand même laissé un commentaire : « Tu as eu un fils avec lui tandis que tu sais qu’il est marié ? » Quelques minutes plus tard, mon mari m’a appelée, furieux : « Tu vois le mal partout ! Je ne fais que lui prêter mon sperme pour une FIV. Elle voulait juste être maman célibataire. » Puis il a ajouté : « En plus, Réa est tombée enceinte du premier coup. Toi, tu as essayé trois fois et toujours rien. Ton ventre ne sert à rien ! » Trois jours avant, il m’avait dit qu’il partait à l’étranger pour affaires. Il ne répondait ni à mes appels ni à mes messages. Je pensais qu’il était occupé. Mais non. Il était avec elle pour son rendez-vous de suivi de grossesse. Une demi-heure plus tard, Réa a partagé une photo d’un festin. « Marre de la cuisine au Pays M. Et Luc a cuisiné pour moi, tout ce que j’aime ! » Je regardais les résultats de ma prise de sang confirmant ma grossesse, mes mains tremblantes, alors que ma joie se transformait en désespoir glacé. Huit ans d’amour fou. Six ans de compromis douloureux après le mariage. Cette fois, c’est fini. Je lâche tout.

SYNOPSIS Falling for a man feared by the city? Becoming the weakness of a monster who never believed in love? Susan Mac never intended to be anything more than honest, but loving Gregory Hale was the most dangerous mistake of her life. Susan enters Greg’s ruthless world of elite clubs, underground power, and corporate dominance with quiet grace, untouched by his reputation and unimpressed by his control. To a man who has spent his life equating love with weakness, her refusal to beg, chase, or submit becomes an addiction he never saw coming. What begins as desire turns into obsession, and for the first time, Greg doesn’t want to let go. But love makes enemies. A discarded one night stand consumed by obsession. A jealous former ally craving everything Greg owns. A father who despises softness as betrayal. As shadows close in, lies are planted, scandals staged, and trust deliberately shattered. When fabricated infidelity ignites Greg’s violent instincts, Susan is forced to choose between the man she loves and the woman she refuses to lose. As betrayal escalates into bloodshed, Susan becomes the target of a final, deadly obsession, one that will force Greg to confront the truth he’s been running from: love is not weakness… it is responsibility. In a world ruled by power, possession, and jealousy, can a woman who values emotional safety survive loving a man built by violence? Or will this love, deemed unworthy from the start, be the one that destroys them both before it has the chance to save them?
