Grand Priest

At the dinner table, my wife's best friend suddenly speaks to her in Lytian. "Three years ago, you married Julian in a grand wedding just to help Jace get Julian's letter of forgiveness. Over the years, I've seen Julian fall more and more deeply in love with you. Yet, you're still lying to him. "You gave him sterilization pills but passed them off as his depression medication. Aren't you afraid that he'll fall apart if he finds out the truth?" My wife, Erica Inman, briefly shows a conflicted expression on her face. She then gives a bitter smile and says, "A child unwanted by their mother has no reason to be born. As long as Julian doesn't stand in the way of Jace's happiness, I will keep my promise and stay by his side for the rest of his life." No one knows that I've learned Lytian to keep up with Erica. I stand in the living room and look at the fresh kiss mark on my neck. As I glance at the medication I take regularly for my depression, my whole body turns cold. It turns out that all of Erica's affection toward me was fake. What I thought was my salvation turns out to be nothing but a carefully planned deception. Since that's the case, I'll do my part to make sure they all get what they want.

On our third dating anniversary, Enzo and I were caught in a cruise ship disaster. I gave him the only life preserver, and I was swallowed by the sea, lost without a trace. Three years later, after finally recovering from my injuries, I rushed back home—only to walk right into his grand wedding with my so-called sister. Bound by a life debt, he had no choice but to marry me—and resented me ever since. He hated that I'd come between him and the woman he truly loved. Even my own parents accused me of being selfish, of ruining my sister's happiness for life. Under the weight of everyone's coldness and rejection, I became desperate and unhinged. … Then, one day, when our family's old enemies came for revenge, he threw himself in front of me and took a knife straight to the heart. Blood gushed out as he used the last of his strength to drag me to safety. "Raina," he rasped, "you saved my life once, and now I've repaid the debt. Just do me one favor—don't come back to haunt me in the next life. All I want is to spend it forever with Selina, just the two of us." My heart tore apart, and I died with that grief. However, when I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I had crashed their wedding.

Quand Fleure Monet, brillante architecte au bord de la faillite, reçoit une proposition de mariage de la part d’Aaron Valesco, richissime héritier d’un empire immobilier, elle croit d’abord à une mauvaise plaisanterie. Mais l’offre est réelle et urgente : pour hériter de la direction du groupe familial, Aaron doit se marier avant ses 30 ans… dans trente jours. Le contrat est clair : un an de mariage, pas de sentiments, pas d’intimité, et une séparation propre une fois les objectifs atteints. En échange, Fleure verra toutes ses dettes effacées, et un projet de rêve financé en son nom. Mais certaines clauses sont plus ambiguës qu’il n’y paraît. Chaque mois, une nouvelle condition s’ajoute, imposée par Aaron ou Fleure, à tour de rôle. Jeux de pouvoir, secrets d’enfance, jalousies inattendues... peu à peu, leurs murs tombent. Et si le plus grand piège n’était pas le contrat, mais ce qu’ils commencent à ressentir… en dehors de toute clause écrite ?

Il y a cinq ans, j'ai été droguée, piégée et humiliée. Ma sœur a volé mon fiancé. Les médias m'ont traitée de pute. Et j'ai disparu — avec un secret que personne n'avait vu venir. Maintenant je suis de retour. Plus sexy, plus riche, et tenant l'AS qu'ils regretteront tous d'avoir abandonné. J'ai une entreprise à développer, un enfant à élever, et oh — devinez qui est chargé d'approuver l'entrée de ma société aux États-Unis ? Exactement. Le même homme avec qui j'ai été droguée pour coucher. Et le pire ? C'est un salaud arrogant qui s'attend à ce que le monde lui baise les pieds. Alors voici mon plan. 1. Le faire tomber. 2. Les faire tous ramper. 3. Ne jamais, au grand jamais, développer des sentiments. Mais le destin a un sens de l'humour tordu. Tout comme le karma. Cher ex, je ne suis pas revenue pour être aimée. Je suis revenue pour vous faire tous étouffer de regrets.

I always thought getting accepted into Elite Order Academy would finally make my family proud. Perhaps then they would stop controlling my every move. Maybe my brothers would stop resenting me. Perhaps I wouldn’t feel so invisible anymore. No one believed I could do it—not even my mate, Alpha Jaxon Trevane. The night I planned to tell him... I found him tangled in bed with my best friend. Heartbroken and humiliated, I left everything behind and went to Elite alone. But the academy isn’t the fairytale I dreamed about. Beneath the grand halls and traditions, a brutal game is being played. The four ruling Alphas of the North, South, East, and West fight for power, dominance... and now, for me. A virgin. Untouched. Unclaimed. The prize they all want. There’s the mate who shattered my heart and swears he’ll win me back. The brilliant strategist who wants me as his Luna. The dangerous playboy who promises no one will ever touch me but him. And the cold, possessive Alpha who watches from the shadows—and would destroy anyone who dares to take me from him. But in a place where love is a battlefield and lust is a weapon, falling in love might be the most dangerous thing I ever do. Welcome to Elite Order Academy—where every desire has a price, and my body is the ultimate trophy.
