How To Stop Time

When Tessa Shoreman read Henry Jennings' cancer report, she immediately paid her hard-earned money of sixty thousand to the hospital. She had saved the money from working part-time while she was in university. However, she was worried the money was not enough, so she held back her fear as she sold a kidney to the black market to get more. As she walked to the ward door with a heavy bag filled with cash, she heard shrill laughter coming from inside. "That cheap woman, Tessa Shoreman, got tricked by us again. Haha!" Tessa's hand gave pause right when she was about to push the door open. What did he mean by saying she was tricked? Tessa looked through the glass on the door to see inside the ward. When she left, the man looked extremely weak, but he was now sitting up lazily in bed. Henry had a cigarette in his mouth, and he was blowing smoke rings nonchalantly. He did not look like a cancer patient at all. "It's been two years, and that woman still has no idea." "If she hadn't beaten Serene to first place, Henry would never have left behind his life as a rich heir and planned such an elaborate scheme to become a working-class man living in a cheap rental home. The way that cheap, penniless woman looks at Henry is so amusing." "We agreed that the punishment ends when Henry and Serene get engaged. It looks like time is almost up. We've probably punished her 108 times in the past two years." "The first time was lying to her that Henry didn't have a suit for a job interview. She worked tirelessly for 72 hours straight before she earned enough money for one, but that suit was given to the domestic help to use as a cleaning cloth. The second time was tricking her into believing Henry had a high fever. She forfeited during the finals of a scientific research competition to race home and take care of Henry in the hospital…" "Sigh. Too bad it's coming to an end. I'm going to miss entertaining myself with her."

Une seule règle permet de survivre à la nuit : ne parle jamais à un Ange de la Mort. Ne regarde jamais un Sang-Pur dans les yeux. Parce que si tu le fais… tu es déjà mort. Violetta Noirval est une aberration : une Sang-Pur qui refuse de se nourrir. Elle se cache à la vue de tous — amphithéâtres universitaires, cafés anonymes, humanité empruntée — protégée par le seul père qu’elle ait jamais connu. Jusqu’au jour où un Ange de la Mort réduit cette vie en cendres. Un meurtre brutal. Un secret révélé. Et le pouvoir enfoui de Violetta s’éveille enfin — incandescent, incontrôlable, terrifiant. Désormais, c’est elle la chasseuse. Elle traque l’assassin jusqu’à son antre et l’anéantit dans une tempête de sang qu’elle ne pourra jamais effacer. La Brigade Anti-Vampire se rapproche. Le détective Vauclair — implacable, brillant, obsédé par le mythe des sang-purs — devrait l’arrêter sur-le-champ. À la place, il lui propose un marché : l’aider à démanteler le complot qui menace les derniers humains… ou mourir en bouc émissaire. Un marionnettiste tapi dans l’ombre. Des trahisons au cœur même de son cercle fragile. À chaque mise à mort qu’elle n’a jamais voulu commettre, le cœur de Violetta brûle plus fort. Elle pourrait sauver son espèce brisée… ou devenir l’arme qui achèvera l’œuvre de l’Ange de la Mort. Dans un monde gouverné par les monstres, la créature la plus dangereuse est peut-être la seule à croire encore à la pitié. La vraie question est : la pitié survivra-t-elle à Violetta ?

A doomsday blizzard hit just before Christmas. The zombie virus exploded. Our fortress was a top-tier ski resort. Now, it was about to fall. My husband, Ethan, was a former Navy SEAL. Our head of security. He swore his defense system was foolproof. The blizzard knocked out the power. But he’d sent all the backup generator fuel to the summit. Just to light up a Christmas tree for Chloe. He even had a few guards up there with them, throwing a party. In my last life, I fought him. I herded everyone into the last bunker. But Chloe whined. A crowded Christmas was boring, she said. She stormed out of the safe room and ran right into the jaws of the horde. Ethan carved a path through the horde to secure the walls. Then he sat in silence, cradling Chloe’s bones. He pretended he wanted to start over with me. He let me get pregnant with his child. The day I gave birth, he knocked me unconscious and dumped me into a nearby zombie nest. He always rescued me just before I died. He’d inject me with a serum that kept me from turning. Nineteen times, he threw me to the zombies. I died in agony as they tore the flesh from my bones. "If you hadn't sabotaged my defenses," he’d hissed, "if you hadn't crashed our party and led the horde right to us, Chloe would still be alive!" I opened my eyes. I was back. Christmas Eve.

Stanley Hamilton and I were basically Southport's favorite hate-watch couple. For Elodie—my oh-so-perfect adopted sister—he wrecked my company and had my parents thrown in prison. I, in turn, drove Elodie to her death, making him watch as she jumped off a rooftop. Our forced marriage? Just a slow ride from mutual disgust straight into mutual destruction. Then came the car explosion. Stanley, who'd hated me forever, still used his last breath to shove me out of the blast. "Vivienne Weston, one lifetime tangled with you is enough. If there's a next one, let's never meet." He touched the tattoo of Elodie's name on his neck, smiling faintly as the flames took him. After he died, I wandered through life half-dead myself until illness finished the job. When I woke up in the past, staring at two betrothal contracts, I didn't hesitate—I picked the guy everyone swore was insane. Stanley and my dad? I handed them right back to Elodie. This time, I wanted no meetings, no memories, no strings. Ever again.
