Grace Shen

I was feeding my seven-year-old daughter, Lucy Langer, when Robert Langer crashed through the front door, reeking of alcohol. His shirt collar hung askew, and red marks blazed across his neck. "Audrey," he said hoarsely, "someone spiked my drink at the charity gala. But don't worry. I've already had my lawyer handle it." I nodded. After so many years of marriage, I knew he only had eyes for me and our daughter. He never strayed. Or so I believed… until eight months later. While Robert was away on a business trip, his cruise ship caught fire. The news dominated every channel. Clutching a sobbing Lucy, I rushed to the hospital, only to find him swathed in bandages, standing outside the maternity ward. "Becca is pregnant," he murmured. "It was that night at the gala… I didn't think it would happen from just once…" He gulped. "When the fire spread, she saved me. But she… got trapped herself." A newborn's wail pierced the corridor as the delivery room doors opened. Becca White was wheeled out, looking pale and exhausted. She clutched my sleeve and pleaded desperately, "Audrey… my babies can't grow up without a father…"

"You should rest." I said, my voice embarrassingly breathless. "Probably." he agreed, but made no move to put distance between us. "You're trembling." "I'm tired. It's been a long night." I lied, my voice lacking conviction. "Liar." His free hand came up, brushing a strand of hair from my face. The gesture was surprisingly gentle, at odds with the raw intensity in his eyes. "Your heart's racing. I can hear it." ~ When the fierce Alpha wolf Roman Blackthorn shows up injured at her doorstep, village healer Mirabelle's life turns upside down.

Mein Mann, der Mafiaboss, verlor seine erste Liebe durch Selbstmord. Celeste Reyes konnte nicht ertragen, dass er mich heiratete. Seitdem trauerte Darius Sterling jeden Tag öffentlich um sie, und wir wurden zu einem Paar, das einander mehr verabscheute als jeden anderen Menschen. Als die Familie Moretti aus Eastbourne jedoch Auftragsmörder auf mich ansetzte, warf sich Darius vor mich und fing die Kugel ab, die für mich bestimmt war. Die Kugel war vergiftet. Als er kraftlos in meinen Armen lag, flüsterte er: „Ich habe dir das Leben gerettet. Meine Schuld gegenüber deiner Mutter ist beglichen. In unserem nächsten Leben sollten wir uns besser nicht mehr begegnen. Ich will dich nicht länger hassen. Ich wünsche mir nur, dass du immer das Mädchen von nebenan bleibst. Jetzt ist es Zeit für mich, bei Celeste zu sein.“ Und so starb er in meinen Armen. Ich weinte mir die Seele aus dem Leib, doch Darius sah mich nie wieder an. Erst da begriff ich, wie töricht und kindisch unser jahrelanger Hass gewesen war. Später, nachdem ich die Morettis ausgelöscht hatte, nahm ich mir seinetwegen das Leben. Doch als ich die Augen wieder öffnete, war ich zurück im Alter von zwanzig Jahren, im Jahr unserer Verlobung. Ich lehnte den Plan meines Vaters für eine arrangierte Ehe ab und entschied mich, nach New Verden zu gehen, um das Familienunternehmen zu führen. Diesmal würde ich mich von Darius fernhalten und ihm und Celeste meinen Segen geben.

Content Warning 21++ Kedua lutut Grace terasa lemas, dia pun jatuh berlutut. Tak pernah disangka, dia akan dipermalukan seperti saat ini, tak ada lagi kata-kata konyol, makian, atau ketololan yang biasa Grace lakukan terhadap Edward. Edward berlutut di belakang Grace, kedua tangannya memegang bahu Grace, “Berbaliklah, lihat aku,” ujar Edward, nada suaranya melemah. Grace berbalik, kedua matanya benar-benar sudah merah. Entah mengapa kondisi saat itu berbeda dengan pertama kali dia bertemu Edward, tak ada perasaan malu atau terhina seperti yang dirasakannya sekarang. "Kau sudah puas?” Edward tak banyak bicara, menarik tubuh Grace ke dalam dekapannya, "Maafkan aku, maaf ... kumohon.” "Kenapa?” "Sssht ... diamlah, biarkan aku memelukmu, bukan seperti ini yang kuinginkan, kenapa kau selalu membuatku kesal dengan semua tingkah lakumu?!” "Kau tak menginginkannya, Ed?” "Apa maksudmu?” Edward memejamkan kedua matanya, menarik kepala dan mencium kening Grace. "Tidak, bukan ini yang aku mau, aku terbawa emosi. Grace, entah kenapa setiap aku melihat Kevin menyentuhmu, dadaku terasa sesak, dan kau membuatnya semakin parah. Aku tak mengerti perasaan apa ini.”
