Grand Duchess Maria

“One night. Make love to me for one night and I’ll never bother you again.” Valerie practically begged Rick. “Fuck off, I’m not interested.” he replied, dismissing her with a wave. >>>>>>>>> Valerie Calder, also known as ‘The Duchess,’ never begs. Never pursues. And most importantly, NEVER repeats lovers. As a young wealthy widow with the world at her feet, she’s accustomed to owning every room, and commanding every attention. Men trip over themselves just to gain her attention, all hoping to be her next fling. Ever since she inherited her aged late husband’s wealth, no one has been able to say ‘NO’ to her, except one man. RICK!! He doesn’t just refuse her - he disregards her entirely, dismisses her like she is nothing, and when others see a goddess, he sees an annoying housefly. But what Rick doesn’t know about Valerie Calder is simple: When she can’t have something, she wants it even more. And she’s never wanted anything like she wants him.

Hindi ako gold digger. Oo, tatlong trabaho ang pinagsasabay ko. Server ako sa umaga, cashier sa hapon, at sa gabi, naglilinis ako ng kubeta sa isang bar sa Makati. Ako si Maria Tala Loresca, twenty-three years old. May utang na kasing lalim ng depression ko, at walang balak na lumaki ang interest nito. Kaya nang lapitan ako ni Lucas Salazar sa VIP lounge ng club na pinagtatrabahuhan ko isang lalaking nakasuot ng suit na halatang isang buwang sahod ko ang isang butones, may amoy na pangmayaman at kayabangan, at may titig na parang hinuhubaran na ako bago pa man ako magsalita, akala ko isa siyang manyakis na mayaman. "Five million. One night. No names, no feelings, no bullshit." Tiningnan ko siya. Six feet. Broad shoulders. At isang ngisi ng lalaking sanay makuha ang gusto niya. "Sure. Sige. Pero cash agad." That night, ikinama niya ako sa penthouse niya. Walang bulaklak. Walang kandila. Pagkatapos? Limang milyon sa bedside table. Umalis akong hindi siya ginising. Akala ko tapos na. Hanggang sa malaman ko ang totoo makalipas ang tatlong linggo. Ako pala ang sikretong anak ng taong pinakakinamumuhian niya ang ina ko ang babaeng sumira sa pamilya niya, at siya ang rason kung bakit namatay ang kanyang ina. Kaya ang plano ko ay paibigin siya. Pakakasalan ko siya. Gagamitin ang apelyidong Salazar para kunin ang lahat—pera, lupa, dignidad niya. Plano ko siyang sirain. Hindi ko inasahan na habang ginagawa ko 'yon, unti-unti rin pala akong mababaliw sa kanya. Sa mga kamay niyang humawak hindi lang ng katawan ko kundi ng pusong tinuruan kong maging bato. At ang masaklap? Kapag nalaman niya ang totoo—na ang babaeng hinuhubaran niya sa kama ay ang mismong dugo ng demonyong hinahangad niyang mamatay at hindi ako sure kung sino ang mas masasaktan. Siya ba? O ako?

Prologue La nuit tombait sur la vieille demeure des Smith, drapant ses murs austères d’une ombre épaisse. Le vent murmurait entre les branches des arbres centenaires, comme s’il portait les échos d’un passé que tous avaient préféré oublier. Il y a bien des années, alors que la fortune des Smith était encore fragile, un pacte avait été scellé dans le plus grand secret. Deux patriarches, liés par une dette de sang et d’honneur, avaient échangé une promesse : un jour, leurs lignées s’uniraient par le mariage. Mais avec le temps, la prospérité des Smith avait grandi, tandis que celle des Anthony s’était effritée. Et lorsque Levy Anthony, le dernier héritier d’un nom autrefois puissant, avait hérité de ruines, les Smith avaient feint d’ignorer l’existence de cet accord. Pourtant, les mots tracés sur ce vieux parchemin n’avaient jamais perdu leur pouvoir. Dans l’ombre, une jeune femme aux yeux froids observait. Sandra, la méprisée, l’invisible. Celle qu’on avait reléguée aux marges de la famille, comme si son sang était moins noble. Elle savait ce qu’ils ignoraient : un pacte ne meurt jamais. Il sommeille, attendant son heure. Et cette heure venait de sonner. Lorsque les Anthony franchirent le seuil de la maison Smith, ce ne fut pas en suppliants, mais en créanciers. Leur présence réveilla une vérité que les Smith avaient enfouie : on ne rompt pas impunément une promesse faite aux morts. Et alors que les voix s’élevaient, que les accusations fusaient, Sandra se tenait immobile, un sourire glacé aux lèvres. Car elle, l’oubliée, allait devenir leur seul salut.
