It's Too Late For Regret

I am diagnosed with severe systemic lupus erythematosus, and I only have three days left to live. When my husband rejects my 188th plea for help, I take my test results and enter the hospice care center. "Hello, I'd like to schedule my own cremation process and apply for government aid." Ten minutes later, they arrive. Before I can speak, my lawyer husband, Jasper Horton, coldly slaps me across the face. "You're faking a terminal illness just to steal attention from Janice?" My doctor brother, Casey Carter, snatches the medical report from my hand and scoffs at it. "Lupus? If you're going to fake being sick, at least make it believable. Only one in a million people gets this." I endure the pain in my body, return to the counter, and hand in the application form and my medical records once more. The staff member sees the butterfly-shaped rash on my wrist and sympathizes with me. "I have no family left," I say. "I'm requesting cremation in three days, location doesn't matter. I just don't want my death to burden anyone."

Liam n’a jamais su aimer Élise comme elle le méritait. Aveuglé par son orgueil et ses désirs égoïstes, il l’a laissée partir sans un regard en arrière, après trois ans de mariage , convaincu de courir vers celle qu’il croyait vouloir, ignorant que son cœur appartenait déjà à la femme qu’il venait de perdre. Mais le destin a joué son tour cruel : Élise, victime d’un terrible accident, se réveille amnésique , son esprit effacé, ses souvenirs disparus, et avec eux, toute trace de l’homme qui l’a trahie. Dans ce vide, un homme apparaît l’homme le plus riche et le plus influent du pays. Il prétend être son mari, et dans son état de confusion, Elise le croit, fascinée et intriguée par l’assurance et le pouvoir qu’il dégage. Peu à peu, elle découvre en elle une force nouvelle, un pouvoir et une indépendance qu’elle n’avait jamais imaginés, bien au-delà de ce que Liam aurait pu entrevoir. Lorsque Liam croise à nouveau son chemin, il est incapable de détourner le regard. Devant elle, il ne reconnaît plus la femme fragile qu’il a laissée derrière lui. Elle est plus puissante, plus confiante, presque intouchable, et sa beauté mêlée à son aura de pouvoir le fait vaciller. Pour la première fois, c’est lui qui souffre, réduit au silence par le charisme et la force de celle qu’il a autrefois rejetée. C’est l’histoire de regrets amers et de silences brisés, d’un amour perdu qu’on ne peut jamais retrouver et d’une femme qui renaît de ses cendres, plus forte, plus déterminée, et prête à ne plus jamais se laisser posséder par quiconque.
