Grand Priest

Résumé : La Sirène et le Centaure Depuis des millénaires, un sang noir et salé coule entre les royaumes de la Terre et de la Mer. Les Centaures des plaines brûlent d'une haine viscérale pour les Sirènes des abysses, qu'ils tiennent pour responsables du grand Déluge qui engloutit leurs ancêtres. Une paix froide et fragile, tissée de mépris, est la seule loi qui prévaut. Éliane, princesse sirène promise au terrible Roi des Abysses, étouffe dans sa cage de corail et de devoir. Sa voix, capable d'apaiser les colères de l'océan, est son plus grand pouvoir et sa malédiction. Kaël, roi centaure et gardien des terres sacrées, porte le poids de sa couronne comme une entrave, son cœur de guerrier assoiffé d'une liberté qu'il ne connaît pas. Mais une prophétie ancienne, oubliée de la plupart, rôde : "L'union de l'Écume et du Sabot fera trembler le Trône des Cieux et précipitera les mondes dans le chaos." Leur amour est une étincelle au-dessus d'un baril de poudre. Lorsque leur secret est découvert, la fureur des dieux et de leurs peuples respectifs s'abat sans pitié. La mer se retire, laissant les royaumes sous-marins à sec. La terre se fissure, avalant forêts et troupeaux. Pour empêcher l'anéantissement total, un prix terrible est exigé : Éliane doit sacrifier sa voix magique, et Kaël sa liberté, acceptant des chaînes éternelles. À l'aube, sur une plage devenue le champ de bataille de leurs cœurs, ils se font face une dernière fois. Un baiser, à la fois doux et désespéré, scelle leur destin. Leur amour était-il une malédiction à éviter, ou la seule prophétie capable de sauver deux mondes qui ne savaient plus que se haïr ?

During my wedding, hundreds of photos of me being sullied flutter down from the top of the church, landing before the guests below. My fiancé instantly calls off our engagement and turns to kiss my sister. Devastation washes over me. Just then, my childhood friend Derek Church, the Capo of the Church family, the East Coast's most powerful mafia family, pulls me into his arms. He kicks the church's door open and presses a check worth a million dollars into my father's hands. He pulls me to the priest and has him announce that we are husband and wife. I'm so touched that I agree to marry him. From then on, I become the Capo's wife. Two years later, Derek and I finally conceive through IVF. I want to share the exciting news with him when I overhear his conversation with his subordinate. "Lilyanne is afraid of pain and becoming ugly, so we can use Nicole to give birth to her child. Once she produces an heir for the Morse family, her position will be solidified. Then, the Morse family will become the Church family's MadeMan." "As expected of you, boss. You knew the Morse family is full of politicians who would never accept a sullied woman into the family. The only way for Lilyanne to marry into the family was by having Nicole sullied." My blood runs cold when I hear this, and the pregnancy report in my hand feels unbelievably heavy. The man I thought was my salvation was actually the devil who pulled me into the abyss. I dry my tears and call the Capo of the West Coast's mafia family, Derek's nemesis. "I have a way to help you become the mafia Capo dei capi. Do you want to work with me?"
