Avant le divorce de Lyne Gauthier, quelqu’un l’a conseillée : « Il t’a trompée et a donné naissance à un enfant illégitime, c’est vrai, mais beaucoup d’hommes dans le monde entier font ces erreurs. Tu ferais mieux de faire preuve d’indulgence et bien élever son enfant. » Lyne, après le divorce, est devenue la femme la plus riche du monde, et beaucoup de jeunes hommes l’entouraient. Chaque fois que des rumeurs sur sa relation amoureuse se répandaient, la première personne à les dissiper était Julien Alber, son ex-mari. « Je crois en mon ex-femme, ces gens n’ont rien à voir avec elle. » Un jour, Lyne a été interviewée par un journaliste. « Madame Lyne, que se passerait-il si vous tombiez amoureuse de quelqu’un d’autre que votre petit ami ? » Lyne a répondu en souriant : « J’espère que mon petit ami sera plus indulgent, après tout, ce n’est qu’une erreur que font les femmes du monde entier. » Julien s’est écrié : « Je n’arrive pas à l’être ! »

When my father's business collapsed, he racked up an astronomical debt to the Andor family. And when they finally came knocking, he did what no loving parent should ever do—he collateralized me, his only daughter, handing me over to Cassian before vanishing off the face of the earth. For ten long years, I stayed by Cassian Andor's side. He treated me with a tenderness so indulgent it bordered on worship. There was nothing I asked for that he would not give; there was no whim of mine he would not entertain. Everyone in our world knew me as his princess. I grew up believing with certainty that once I came of age, he would sweep me into his arms, march me down the aisle, and make me his wife. But reality—cold, brutal, and as dazzlingly cruel as the world we lived in—had other plans. Instead of the ring I had dreamed of, Cassian gifted a breathtaking pink diamond—the very symbol of eternal devotion—to his assistant, Heidi Torres. As if that wasn't betrayal enough, he threw a lavish celebration in her honor, a veritable explosion of flowers. He knew I was deathly allergic to pollen. Yet he still left me stranded there, drowning in a sea of blossoms. Eventually, I collapsed in a violent asthma attack, gasping and clawing for air, teetering on the edge of consciousness. And Cassian? He merely tightened his hold around Heidi in his arms and cast me a cold glance. "Your allergies have been fine for ages," he said with a sneer. "Why the sudden drama today? Don't tell me you're faking it." At that moment, as I lay there humiliated and struggling to breathe, I realized there were exactly seven days left until my twentieth birthday since when I could register a marriage.

+++✦+++ "I’ll find you, no matter where you go." He tilted his head, his calm delivery making the threat all the more unsettling. "Do you understand me?" His words weren’t loud, but they didn’t need to be. His gaze bore into mine, daring me to defy him. "Yes." I swallowed hard, nodding slightly, my voice betraying me with its lack of strength. "Good girl." He watched me with a pleased, almost smug expression. It seemed like a terrible idea, but something about his overconfidence pushed me to challenge him. "But, what makes you think I’ll just stay here, waiting for you to show up whenever you feel like it?" I ventured, pushing my luck as we stared at each other. "Consider it my way of repaying you after everything you’ve done." I blinked, taken aback and confused. "Repaying me?" The words slipped out before I could stop them, as my fingers caressed the spot where his hand had been. His laughter was soft, almost indulgent, as if my naivety amused him. +++✦+++ In a city plagued by crime and violence, a young woman fights to stay hidden from her sadistic stepfather and his ruthless gang.

On the day of the company's annual gala, my CEO husband suddenly assigned me an unexpected business trip. The plane had barely touched down when I received a call from his young assistant. Before I could utter a word, her voice came through, "Matty, did you send Daphne on that business trip just so we could spend more time together?" And then, as if to hammer the nail deeper into my heart, I heard his unmistakable tone—light, indulgent, full of affection, "What do you think, silly girl?" Her laughter rang out before she teased, "Then tonight, let's try something new. I promise you'll be satisfied..." The call ended amidst a swirl of suggestive murmurs. Staring at my phone, I waged a silent war with the pain gripping my chest. Again and again, I dialed his number, each attempt met with either silence or the cruel finality of his phone being switched off. Finally, I let out a bitter laugh, tucking the phone away as if to bury the wound it carried. From that moment on, I resolved—no more questions, no more efforts to understand this man who had once been my whole world. But fate has its own irony. Later, it was he who came back, pleading, begging me to love him again.
