Get Coin

Over the weekend, I went with my best friend to one of the premium auto shops owned by my company to get her car serviced. Just as we were about to leave, someone stopped me and ordered me to wipe down her car. I explained that I didn't work there, but she got angry anyway. She flipped a 10-cent coin at my face. "Consider it an honor that I'm letting you wash my car. A broke girl like you has probably never even seen a luxury car in her life! I'm trying to broaden your horizons, and you're not even grateful?" I shot back, "You're right. I've never met a car owner who can only spare 10 cents. Consider my horizons broadened." She exploded on the spot. "Do you even know who I am? The chairman of the Penzo Group is my mother-in-law! Scared now?" I paused for a beat, then calmly called Leo Penzo. "I hear your mother went behind my back and found you a new wife?"

Lors du premier jour de classe, j'avais tout organisé. J'avais déjà classé mes livres en ordre alphabétique, mon uniforme était repassé et ranger dans mon placard, attendant seulement que je le porte. C'était la même chose depuis des années. Les garçons allaient siffler devant l'arrivée de Jeanette Green, la bimbo de l'école, les intellos seraient dans un coin en train de faire des recherches sur leurs ordinateurs, les joueurs de foot se vanteraient auprès de n'importe quelle fille prête à les écouter, la chorale répéterait leurs chansons dans un coin de la cantine et les petits nouveaux seraient dans un coin, exclus, en attendant de se faire des amis. Et moi, j'allais trainer avec mes meilleurs amis, faire la folle mais rester une bonne fille. Car quand on s'appelle Lily Parks, on a pas autre choix que de bien se comporter. Dans notre famille, nous n'avons pas de réputation qui nous suive: nous sommes comme la plupart des gens. Seul différence entre notre famille et les autres? Mon arrière grand-père était un homme très respecté dans notre petite ville perdue dans les États-Unis. On le complimentait souvent dans sa façon d'agir, en tant qu'avocat réputé. Il a enseigné les bonnes manières à ses enfants, qui eux l'ont enseignés à leurs enfants, ainsi de suite. Mes parents tenaient beaucoup à continuer la tradition, alors je suis l'incarnation même des bonnes manières. Bonnes notes, bon comportement, apparence soignée... S'il fallait que je brise ces règles! Je n'imaginais même pas... Je prévoyais toujours tout en avance pour éviter de me mettre les pieds dans les plats, pour faire plaisir à ma famille. Mais pourtant, cette année, il y avait une chose que je n'avais pas du tout prévu. Et cette chose avait un nom. Matthew Carter.

Azalea had decided to stop running from her past. That didn't mean that she was ready to embrace her future though. As if navigating through learning about her powers and dealing with all the drama surrounding her sudden reappearance wasn't enough, now someone's out to take her out of the picture entirely. Friends, family and a potential mate are all trying to protect her by caging her against her will. With too many secrets still in the dark, she does what she knows best and runs. But will she be able to shine bright enough to banish the dark or will she choose to let it consume her? Should she risk it all on a chance of true happiness or it is really just two sides of the same coin, both trying to gain control of her and her powers for their own purpose?

"I Jeremy Walker, reject you Olivia Myles as a fated mate" Jeremy said baldly without a single emotion in his eyes. He turned back and walked away leaving Olivia to feel the pain. Olivia was taken aback at first. Not only Olivia was shocked, everyone in the building was. The rejection was too cruel. He didn't even talk to her to get to know her. He just rejected her in front of the whole pack. "Arghhhh!" Pain struck Olivia's heart like a rock was thrown on it. She held her chest and screamed out loud. No one even moved close to her. They all watched as she fell to the ground, landing on the broken bottles she was trying to pick earlier. She cried out in pain rolling on the floor. The pain from the bottles piercing her skin can't be in any way compared to the pain in her heart. Olivia Myles is just like the trash of the pack. No one loved her because she's an omega, her family not exempted. Olivia had to suffer bullying from everyone. She was timid and couldn't fight back but then after she was brutally rejected by her, Jeremy Walker the soon to be Alpha. She then decided to be a better person and wouldn't allow anyone to toss her around like a coin anymore. She then ran away from her pack after she was almost to be married to the oldest and ugliest man in their pack. Will she come back powerfully and take her revenge on Jeremy or she would be captured by love and forget about revenge? Will she be able to forgive all those who hurt her?

In my previous life, I was born at the stroke of a cold, pitch-black midnight on New Year's Day, an omen the old town whispered about. They called me a Deathbringer's child, destined to guide the souls of the stillborn to rest. From the age of six, I carried small coffins alone to the graveyard by the church, burying them in silence. Each time, when I reached into the velvet shroud that wrapped the tiny casket, I would find a golden coin resting inside. My mother sold those coins for money, buying my brother a grand mansion, while leaving me behind in the crumbling family house to keep doing the work. No one expected the world of Haunts to descend. However, those coins turned out to be tokens of command, keys that bound the Haunts of the apocalypse to my will. With them, I became the Empress of the End, feared by all, ruling with every resource at my command.

Pour sauver son premier amour atteinte d'insuffisance rénale, mon mari, juge de profession, a décidé de lui attribuer un de mes reins sans mon consentement. Je lui ai expliqué que je souffrais aussi d'une insuffisance rénale, et qu'une greffe m'aurait été fatale. Mais il m'a crié avec haine : « Isabelle est si gravement malade, et toi, tu es encore si jalouse ! Tu es vraiment impitoyable ! » Sous sa décision imposée, on m'a emmenée à l'hôpital pour la transplantation. À la fin, à cause de l'aggravation de mon insuffisance rénale, je suis morte misérablement dans un coin désert de l'hôpital.

Les murs suintent l’humidité et l’odeur de lessive bon marché. Ici, les journées se ressemblent, rythmées par les hurlements des gardiens et les murmures des détenues. Mais depuis son arrivée, Léo est une anomalie dans ce monde de femmes. Lui, le seul homme dans cet univers carcéral féminin, détonne. Trop sûr de lui. Trop calme. Trop… fascinant. Les premières semaines, il a essuyé les regards en coin, les provocations, les tests. Mais il a tenu bon. Parce qu’il sait survivre. Parce qu’il sait se battre. Ce soir, dans la cour, l’atmosphère est électrique. Mira, assise sur un banc, le fixe, mâchoire serrée. Depuis qu’il a posé les yeux sur Sasha, une brune au regard brûlant, la tension monte. Ici, l’amour et la passion sont des feux de paille qui enflamment tout sur leur passage. Et Mira n’aime pas partager. Léo le sait. Mais il ne recule pas. — Tu te prends pour qui ? crache Mira en s’approchant, son gang derrière elle. Il se lève lentement, un sourire au coin des lèvres. Il n’a pas peur. Il a connu pire. — Je prends ce que je veux, répond-il, voix posée. Sasha, à quelques pas, le regarde, fascinée. Il la veut, et elle le sait. Mira ne supporte pas ce défi silencieux. Son poing part, rapide, furieux. Léo l’évite de justesse et riposte. L’impact claque, Mira titube, mais ne lâche pas l’affaire. Elle revient à la charge, et bientôt, la bagarre éclate sous les cris des détenues qui encerclent la scène.
