Hai Luka

In the shadows of the city’s most notorious club, where danger and desire intertwine, he sees her. Valerio Moretti—ruthless, feared, and untouchable—is the most dangerous name in the criminal underworld. He owns the city, one blood-soaked deal at a time. Women throw themselves at his feet, yet none have ever caught his eye... until her. Sera Devlin is an enigma behind red velvet curtains. A stripper who doesn’t belong. Her stiff movements, wide eyes, and barely concealed fear as men paw at her set her apart from the others. She's innocent—too innocent for a place like this. And that's what draws Valerio in like a flame. One night, Valerio breaks the rules—his own rules—and barges into her dressing room. Half-dressed and startled, Sera throws him out without a second thought, unaware she's just challenged the devil himself. Now, Valerio is obsessed. She doesn’t know who he is. She doesn’t want him. But he always gets what he wants—and he wants her. As their worlds collide in a twisted game of dominance, secrets, and forbidden desire, Sera finds herself caught in a cage made of diamonds and danger. But behind Valerio’s control lies a man with a dark past... and behind Sera’s fear, a secret that could shatter them both. He’s her captor. She’s his temptation. And in this game, love could be their ultimate ruin.

I was reborn back to 1975, when the child in my womb was three months old. I did not tell anyone and quietly had an abortion. However, I still wrapped cotton around my belly every day, pretending the baby was still there. In my past life, my husband Declan Huxley's childhood sweetheart Jane Patton and I gave birth on the same day. She had a healthy, ordinary baby boy. But my child looked nothing like us—he was mixed-race, with features of the Valorian people. Declan and I were both locals, so there was no way our son could look like this. Enraged, Declan scolded me in front of everyone, accusing me of cheating on him and having a disgraceful affair with a Valorian. No matter how many times I explained, no one believed me, and I became the shameful woman everyone pointed at. Worse still, Declan reported me and handed in some foreign letters he found at home, which led to me being taken by federal agents and sentenced as a spy. I spent ten years in prison, and when I finally walked out, I was nothing but skin and bones. Meanwhile, Declan had climbed the ranks for his so-called loyalty to the country. He held Jane's hand and brought along my real son, Seth Huxley, then threw 500 dollars at me like it was charity. He said, "Back then, Jane was accidentally deceived by someone else and gave birth to that brat. Unlike you, she has a gentle nature and couldn't endure hardship, so I had no choice but to switch your children. "This money is payment for your ten years and your reputation. You have a criminal record, and I already filed for divorce long ago to be with Jane. Seth also thinks you're not worthy of me, so you better take care of yourself." Seth also looked at me with disgust. "Mommy Jane treats me very well, and she's not like you; she's never been to prison. I don't want a mother like you!" When I learned the truth, the fury was so overwhelming that I had a stroke and died in despair. In this new life, I want to see how they plan to scheme against me when the child is already gone.

Les larmes qui brillent, la fierté qui se dissout. C’est encore plus beau que dans mes rêves. — Parce que je vais vous offrir un marché, dis-je en me penchant en avant, la voix devenue un murmure confidentiel et venimeux. Un seul. Prenez-le ou laissez-le. Je prends une feuille blanche, immaculée, et la pousse vers elle. —Voici mon offre : Un an à être à moi et à genoux. Elle cligne des yeux, ne comprenant pas. —Je… Je ne… — Pas comme une employée. Cela serait trop simple. Pas même comme une maîtresse. Cela serait vous faire trop d’honneur. Je marque une pause, savourant l’instant où la compréhension va la frapper de plein fouet. —Non , un an.....comme ma pute. Alessandra Le choc est si violent que j’en ai le souffle coupé. Le bureau, la ville, son visage… tout vacille. Un bruit blanc emplit ma tête. J’ai mal entendu. Je dois avoir mal entendu. — Quoi ? je souffle, la voix brisée. — Vous m’avez bien entendu, dit-il, implacable. Un an de soumission absolue. Vous serez à moi. Votre corps, votre volonté, votre dignité. Vous ferez ce que je veux, quand je le veux, comme je le veux. En échange, tous les problèmes financiers de votre frère disparaissent. Il aura les meilleurs soins. Il vivra. La nausée monte, brûlante. La rage aussi. Une rage ancienne, celle de la fille que j’étais, qui n’aurait jamais permis une telle insulte. — Vous êtes… vous êtes un monstre, je halète, me levant d’un bond, les jambes tremblantes. Un sale monstre ! Je crache. Littéralement. Un crachat plein de haine et de dégoût qui atterrit sur le marbre immaculé de son bureau . — Voilà ma réponse. Allez vous faire pendre. Je me tourne pour partir .

Il y a cinq ans, Giulia a fait le choix le plus déchirant de sa vie : quitter Lorenzo, l’homme qu’elle aimait, pour le sauver d’une ruine financière qu’il ignorait. Elle a endossé le rôle de l’ambitieuse, acceptant d’épouser un homme riche pour que Lorenzo puisse repartir libre. Cinq ans plus tard, Lorenzo est de retour.
