I Am The Monarch

„Frau Stein, gemäss Ihrer Anfrage haben wir eine Leiche vorbereitet, die Ihnen bis ins kleinste Detail gleicht. Diese werden wir in zehn Tagen an den Ort Ihrer Hochzeitszeremonie mit Herrn Meyer liefern“, erklärte der Mitarbeiter am anderen Ende der Leitung. Mias nervöse Anspannung, die schon Tage anhielt, ließ nach endlich ein wenig. „Danke schön.“ „Gern geschehen, das ist unsere Pflicht. Machen Sie sich keine Sorgen – niemand wird an der Echtheit dieser Leiche zweifeln.“ Nach dieser Garantie seufzte Mia erleichtert. Noch einmal ging sie mit dem Mitarbeiter die Details für den Liefertag der Leiche durch. Nachdem sie die Leitung gelegt hatte, öffnete sie die Tür zum Privatzimmer. Bisher war das Zimmer voller Lärm, doch im Moment, in dem sie eintrat, erstarrte die Stimmung. Alle schauten sie an – kein Laut war mehr zu hören.

An meinem Hochzeitstag ließ mein Mafia-Verlobter Ryder Conti seine Männer mich vor der Kirche aufhalten. Stattdessen ging er mit einer anderen Frau am Arm den Gang entlang. Durch das schmiedeeiserne Tor zuckte er mir nur mit den Schultern. „Emilia, die Contis brauchen einen Erben, und Carmela trägt einen Rossi.“ „Sobald ich den Einfluss der Rossis nutze, um meine Position in der Familie zu festigen, lasse ich mich von ihr scheiden. Du bleibst trotzdem meine Frau.“ Alle dachten, ich würde brav nicken und warten, bis er zurückkommt. Zehn Jahre lang hatte ich ihn mehr geliebt als mein eigenes Leben, sogar den Kontakt zu meiner Familie für ihn abgebrochen. Noch in derselben Nacht stieg ich in einen Privatjet nach Sizilien, um eine arrangierte Ehe mit dem Paten der Vettori Familie anzunehmen. Von da an verschwand ich spurlos aus Ryder Contis Welt. Drei Jahre später kehrte ich mit meinem Ehemann und meinem Kind nach New York zurück, um mich um einen Verräter in der Familie zu kümmern. Zayn hatte noch etwas Dringendes zu erledigen, also schickte er seine Männer, um mich abzuholen. Ich hätte nie erwartet, einem Gesicht aus meiner Vergangenheit zu begegnen. Ryder musterte mich mit einem schiefen Grinsen. „Genug Spaß da draußen gehabt. Wenn du schon angekrochen kommst, passt das perfekt. Carmelas Sohn braucht eine Köchin. Das kannst du machen.“ Warte mal. Er hat mich gerade, die respektierteste Donna der Unterwelt, zur Köchin gemacht?

WARNING: This book is unapologetically slutty. ••• “You can fuck me, but only with my mask on.” My boss doesn't know I'm his little wh*re sunshine. ••• Elissa can't remember the last time she got laid by a man. She is too caught up in meeting ends meet, and healing from the trauma caused by her stepmother. But her life changes when she goes to a masquerade ball and her eyes land on the gorgeous mysterious stranger, succumbing to his charm. They have a wild night together, their heated, lustful encounter leaving her breathless and wanting more. However, when dawn breaks, she flees the hotel room, and he is left with only her lingerie and an unrelenting obsession to find her. But when Elissa returns to her normal life, fate brings them together again in a shocking twist: Elissa’s new billionaire boss, Thane, is the mysterious man who has rocked her world. Now, he’s determined to claim her as his own, one sensual seduction at a time. But there’s a catch— he’s unaware that his secretary is the same woman he’s been p*unding at midnight, and Elissa must hide her arousal during work hours, waiting for the clock to strike 3 a.m. when she can transform into masked Cinderella once more. But for how long will it take for her identity to be revealed?

After dating for seven years, I proposed a hundred and one times to my boyfriend, Jason Brown. However, he always told me that he was not ready, rejecting my proposals. This continued to my 28th birthday. In his suit pocket, I found a ring box. Thinking he was about to propose to me, I was overjoyed. However, to my horror, I saw him going down on one knee to propose to his assistant, Marcella Hopkins. Right before my eyes, he placed the ring I had yearned for so long on her finger. When one of his buddies asked what he planned to do with me, Jason wrapped his arm around his new love and chuckled. "Dude, I don't think I can bring myself to marry a woman who wants to get married that badly. She's so needy. However, if I do get a second wife, I might consider her. After all, she is hopelessly in love with me." He was sure I would wait for him, and he even placed a bet with his friends that I would crash his wedding. However, on his wedding day, I never showed up. Moments before his wedding ceremony was about to start, he suddenly noticed me, fully dressed up in a wedding gown in a separate banquet hall. Seeing me about to marry someone else, he almost went crazy.

My billionaire dad chooses a husband for me. People claim that Sebastian Lambert is a fine gentleman who's absolutely in awe of me. He seems easy enough to deal with, so I agree to the marriage. The wedding is held at the biggest hotel my family owns. On the big day, as I push open the doors in my wedding dress, a bucket of foul-smelling blood comes crashing down on me. The scene inside is even more horrifying. What was supposed to be a pure and romantic ceremony is now decorated with giant spiders and cockroaches. Grotesque clown faces grin at me from the walls. At the altar, there's a black coffin. Sebastian's adoptive sister, Ruth Lambert, strolls over with a group of people. She covers her mouth in fake surprise as she remarks, "Oh my, Claudia, you look like a pathetic mutt right now!" Laughter erupts around me. Holding my anger back, I coldly reply, "All of you, get out." She crosses her arms, arrogantly looking down at me as if she's on some pedestal. "Come on, Claudia. Seb personally asked me to surprise you. I put in a lot of effort to decorate your little wedding. You're telling me to get out? I don't even get a 'thank you'? Do you need me to teach you some manners?" She signals to the people next to her, and two of them step forward, trying to force me to my knees. Stunned for a few seconds, I pull out my phone and call Sebastian. "Is this the so-called surprise you had your sister prepare for me? Forcing me to kneel before her?"

On their fourth wedding anniversary, Elise Livington tells her husband, Victor Gardner, that she wants a divorce. Victor's expression darkens, and his gaze goes sharp. "It's all because I was accompanying Quinn when she was in labor instead of spending time with you, huh?" Elise replies, "That's right." Over the past four years, Victor has been traveling between Domavia and Maeveria. During the countless times Elise needs him the most, he's always seen accompanying Quinn, his older brother's widow, and her child, Daniel Gardner. Three days ago, Quinn returned to Domavia. She and Elise accidentally fell into the pool together. However, Victor's immediate response was to save Quinn first. When Elise was wrongly accused of hurting Daniel and was forced to kneel on the pebblestone path, Victor outright ignored her plight. Elise has been in love with him for eight years. Never once has she doubted his love for her. But now, for the first time ever, she begins doubting the love she has for him. "That's enough." Victor rips the divorce agreement apart. "I'm doing this for Vaughn's son. I won't spend time with them anymore, if that's what you want." Elise merely says, "If you shred one document, I'll just print another one. We'll keep this cycle going until you sign the papers." The cold glint in Victor's eyes is instantly replaced by shock. He quickly grabs Elise's hand afterward. "You've been with me for eight years—from the time we started dating till we finally got married. Can you even bear to let this relationship go once and for all?" Elise draws her hand out of Victor's grip calmly. "It's always possible to let anything go." … To Victor, the notion of the Earth being flat is more possible than the idea of Elise divorcing him. They have been together for eight long years, after all. There was once when Elise kneeled outside the Gardner residence in the downpour just so she could get married to him. Heck, she even gave up on the opportunity to further her studies abroad. She has sacrificed this much for his sake! How can she ever bear to leave him? But when Victor receives the divorce certificate, he's left stunned. In the countless days after that, he lets go of his ego and pride as he sinks to one knee outside Elise's residence, his expression filled with plea. "Please, Elise… Please open the door and let me in…"
