Grand Priest

Trahie par l’homme qu’elle aimait plus que tout, Élina Laurens croyait avoir tout perdu. Mais quand elle découvre l’étendue de la trahison de Louis, son mari, elle comprend qu’elle ne peut plus se contenter d’être une victime. C’est alors qu’Alexander Verhoeven entre dans sa vie. Séduisant, froid et dangereux, il lui tend la main et lui propose un pacte : l’aider à se venger et reprendre le contrôle de sa vie… en échange d’une obéissance totale à ses règles. Ce qui commence comme une alliance fragile se transforme en un jeu d’échec mortel où la confiance est une arme et le désir un piège. À mesure qu’Élina s’enfonce dans un univers de mensonges et de manipulations, elle réalise que Louis n’était peut-être pas le plus grand danger. Pour se libérer, elle devra choisir : se briser… ou plonger plus profondément sous emprise.

Their naked bodies were shipping against each other. Her sapphire glossy orbs were staring at his brown eyes. "I love you, Cia. I love you to the extent that I will end and taint that life which would even think about taking you away from me," The firmness of his words were evident in his darkened eyes. "Even if it's your life," he rasped against her mouth. They both knew his love was irrational, an obsession for her. They loved each other enough, especially for her to let his love taint her existence. "I love you, Zale," And her words were enough to make him lose everything in her. She beautifully moaned his name as soon his warmth engulfed her deepest depth which made both of them close their eyes in pleasure, but they had never in their worst ever thought that their eyes would have to witness that thing which their future had stored for them. His deep brown orbs were staring at her who was clad in a beautiful white gown. Her sapphire orbs were downcast as she was standing at the altar but the irony was she was not his bride but his brother's. "Do you, Mr Blake Alcazar, take Miss Celia Reyes as your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest's voice echoed, causing him to fist his palm and her heart to turn numb. "I do," A tear slipped from her eyes, hearing that person's answer who was standing in front of her and feeling those brown eyes penetrating her soul. "Do you, Miss Celia Reyes, take Mr Blake Alcazar as your lawfully wedded husband?" Those deep brown eyes turned predacious and her answer turned them voraciously vicious. "I do," she answered. An answer which sealed two destinies, which shattered two hearts and TAINTED two souls.

Aurora Claramay. She was called ‘ The Villainess Rose ‘.The only daughter of a grand duke, well-protected by her three brothers. Some say that she’s the villainess in this story and some don’t. Her cold and distant-like personality attracted many suitors while her elegance, gracefulness, and perfection are ladies' idols. Many say that she’s unattainable and beyond one’s reach. On the other hand, rumor has it she’s cold-hearted, merciless to those who betrayed her, and non never received her trust. Aidan Wyatt. He called by many as ‘ The Light ‘ who shone as bright as the sun and beamed as the dazzling moon. Just as the reputation had known by all, he is a well-respected person, justice for the wronged, people called him a monster on the battlefield and a hero who brought peace for the empire. An archduke who ruled both the south and the east. Countless offers came before him, marriages, alliances, partnerships, etc. However, being the first knight in command during the battlefield and a great strategist, was not a groundless rumor. Being quick-witted as well as sly as a fox, he manages them effectively. Fate brought them together one night, where the full moon shines brightly, where all the trees and flowers danced together with the wind and where fireflies even fairies decorated the starry night. However, many agreed that they’re both like chalk and cheese and sometimes fight like cats and dogs and maybe, just maybe some butterflies in their stomach. Will love be born between these two or will thorns be piercing both hearts?

Le jour où j'ai su qu'il ne me restait plus que trois jours à vivre, mon compagnon est rentré avec un contrat de rupture de lien. Il voulait rompre notre lien pour s'unir à une autre louve qui prétendait être mourante, simplement pour exaucer son dernier souhait. « Chérie, je n'avais pas le choix », m'a dit Théo Lambert en me serrant dans ses bras. « Nina Carrel a été empoisonnée à l'argent, il ne lui reste qu'une semaine à vivre. Son plus grand souhait avant de mourir, c'est de m'épouser. » « Mais ne t'inquiète pas, la seule que j'aime, c'est toi », a ajouté Théo en me regardant avec sincérité. « Dès que la cérémonie sera terminée et qu'elle sera morte, nous reprendrons notre lien. » J'ai baissé la tête avec un léger sourire et j'ai signé le contrat de rupture. Tant pis. De toute façon, j'allais mourir, alors peu importe avec qui il était. Autant le laisser réaliser son vœu.

Un accident d'avion s'est produit, et il y avait un parachute défectueux dans la cabine. Dans cette situation critique, Silvain m'a donné le dernier parachute. J'ai réussi à atterrir, mais Emma, la fille illégitime de mon père, ma demi-sœur, est morte dans cet accident de crash. Après avoir été sauvés, Silvain a choisi de respecter son engagement et nous avons organisé un grand mariage. Cependant, pendant six ans de mariage, il a nourri une haine profonde, croyant que c'était ma faute si Emma était morte. J'étais considérée comme son ennemie, et j'ai vécu ces six années dans une souffrance indicible. Enfin, lors du divorce, il m'a forcée à l'accompagner dans la mort à l'endroit où Emma était décédée ! Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'ai découvert que j'étais revenue à la journée de l'accident d'avion. Et cette fois-ci, j'ai décidé de laisser la chance de survie à la personne que Silvain aimait le plus.

On my way to the interview, my best friend—who had always warned me not to meddle in other people’s business—suddenly rushed toward the crashed luxury car without hesitation. That was when I knew she had been reborn too. In our previous life, she and I were known as the two top aces of the Finance Department. After graduation, we both made it to the final interview at one of the world’s top five hundred companies. On the day of that interview, we encountered a terrible car accident. The company’s president was inside the wreck. I gave up the interview to save him, while my friend ran straight to the interview without looking back. In the end, she got the offer, and I lost my chance at the prestigious firm. Everyone pitied me. However, the president held a grand wedding to repay me. I became the wife of my friend’s boss. I was admired and envied by all. She, on the other hand, struggled under endless performance targets. She got buried by work. At the company’s annual gala, I stood beside the president, dazzling under the lights, while she faded into the crowd—exhausted and invisible. Jealousy drove her mad. She grabbed a knife and stabbed me right there at the gala. When I opened my eyes again, she and I had both returned to the day of the president’s car accident.

Le jour de mes seize ans, mes trois frères sont rentrés à la maison avec une fille qui s'appelait Sylviane. Ils m'ont dit que je devais la traiter comme ma famille. Je ne pensais pas que les choses changeraient. Mais quelques années plus tard, tout a changé. Jean, mon plus jeune frère, m'a poussée dans les escaliers pour elle. Adam, l'aîné, qui avait promis de me protéger pour toujours, m'a dit de partir. Je suis donc partie, discrètement. Ils ont cru que je faisais un caprice, alors ils ont emmené Sylviane à l'étranger, sans même prendre la peine de vérifier où je suis allée. Ils ne savaient pas que j'ai signé un contrat qui me liait au plus grand rival de notre famille en devenant leur plus jeune chimiste. Ce contrat, écrit noir sur blanc, stipulait que je ne pourrais plus jamais rentrer chez moi. La nuit où ils ont découvert que j'étais partie pour de bon ? Ils ont craqué, chacun d'entre eux.

After the car accident, one of the Johnson sons was dead and the other gravely injured. When my devout, devoted husband woke up in the hospital, he called out, "Dorothy." He claimed that his body then held the soul of his brother, Elias Johnson. I went mad, calling doctors, priests, anyone I could, desperate to bring my husband back. It was not until that night that I overheard his conversation with our son: "Father, you've loved aunt for years. You even kept yourself chaste in your private prayer room, waiting. Now, finally, you can be with her openly." The man in the bed reached out to stroke our son's hair. "If it weren't to stop your mother from destroying her relationship, I wouldn't have married her." I hid in the shadows, still reeling from their words, when I saw what happened after our son left. The husband I had always known, icy, composed, and ascetic to maintain his devout faith for seven years, was then holding his sister-in-law close on that tiny hospital bed, sharing a warmth meant for lovers. The next day, I applied for Jim Johnson's death certificate and burned our marriage certificate. At his grand wedding, I climbed aboard the helicopter sent to fetch me. However, my once-cold husband went mad, chasing after us down several streets, desperate and unhinged.

*COMPLETED*"Hold your head up and smile, you coward," Arfaat growled when Juwairiyyah hung back at the top of the steps leading to Sophie's imposing home where the wedding traditional party will take place. His hand gripped her waist so tightly she gasped, and she felt like jerking away and fleeing back down the steps to the waiting car. There was a long line of cars in the street outside Sophie's home; it was obvious the ton had gathered to see the grand wedding of Alhaji Abbas daughter to a poor mechanic.If not for the cold dread in the pit of her stomach, Juwairiyyah might enjoyed the sight of her _wedding day_. As it was, she felt only a shivering apprehension at Arfaat cold rage and implacable face. They'd ridden from her fathers house on GRA in stark silence. Except for a brief moment when she had balked at getting into the car, he had not spoken to her until now. "I don't advise you to try anything you may regret, my Lily."Meet Juwairyyah Abbas who is a spoiled brat whose heart is set at tarnishing and destroying the image of anyone below her. She sees herself as a Queen and someone who is above everyone.Being the only child to rich parents, Juwairiyyah was pampered and given everything she wants.But, what happens when she met someone hell bent on changing her idea that the poor are to be loved and respected not trampled on.The story is steamy, filled with love, hatred, and revenge.

Étant le fils d'un pauvre, mon dilemme a commencé lorsque j'ai croisé *Prunelle* une fille vraiment belle de ma promotion c'est à dire nous sommes dans la même école de droit. Mais le problème est qu'elle est une fille riche, son père est un grand chirurgien qui travaille en Espagne et sa mère Directrice Générale d'une entreprise. Vous voyez que je n'ai aucune chance?? C'était ce que je me disais, car qu'est-ce qu'une fille comme elle allait avoir avec moi, un enfant de pauvre? Chaque fois que je posais mes yeux sur elle, je sentais quelque chose comme un feu qui brûlait au fond de moi. Mon rythme cardiaque changeait et on dirait qu'elle était la pièce manquante pour que mon coeur puisse fonctionner normalement. Mais je ne pouvais rien, car je me voyais Inférieur devant elle. *Tony* un mec de ma promotion était le seul qui causait avec *Prunelle* car lui aussi est un enfant de riche et aussi peut-être un *parent* de Prunelle.
