It was forbidden, a sin, but none of these men seemed to understand that. They all wanted to antagonize her, unveil her, tempt her, and pursue her. "A commoner is worth more than a grain of sand, a Half breed is even worse, and you are both, the worst of two worlds, truly you are pitiful….but your fidelity happens to be worth more than both noble and commoner combined. Is that not an interesting fact?"— Oliviér Lé Fóix.

I want my cock to tear that jaw."— Constantine Rousseau.

After spending the past month working overtime and burning the midnight oil every day, I finally closed a business deal that's worth 50 million dollars before the company's annual dinner. My boss, William Lewis, begins giving away the end-of-the-year bonuses with a wide smile on his face. "The finance director helped our company save three million dollars worth of taxes. He will receive a villa by the river as a gift." "The head of IT led the team and solved various difficult problems. He shall receive 200 thousand dollars in cash." "Lily Lane, the receptionist, has always shown a great attitude whenever she greets the clients. She shall receive a Hermes bag." When it's my turn, I wipe the sweat off my palms before accepting my bonus. But upon opening the giftbox, I see three entrance tickets to the local zoo instead. "You must be sick of receiving commissions all the time as the sales director. Why don't you take advantage of this holiday to spend some quality time with your family?" On the way home, I dial a number. "Mr. Skylar, there's a problem with the 50-million-dollar contract. Let's discuss it later."

Le jour où je devais essayer des robes de mariée avec Charles Jaspier, le chef de la mafia que j'avais aimé pendant sept ans, je suis entrée avec le plus grand espoir dans la boutique en tenant un rapport de test de grossesse. Mais j'ai entendu par hasard une conversation qui a tout brisé. « L'enregistrement du mariage avec Ellis Olsen n'était qu'une mesure temporaire, » a-t-il déclaré calmement à son plus proche confident. « Mon frère est mort dans une fusillade. Elle était enceinte du seul héritier de la famille Jaspier. Sans statut légal, ni elle ni l'enfant y survivraient. » « Tout le monde les maltraiterait. » Un cigare entre les doigts, sa voix était froide, teintée d'impuissance. « Zoey Qandor ne peut pas posséder de statut légal - mais je peux lui donner tout le reste. Mon amour. Mon argent. Elle ne doit jamais l'apprendre. » J'ai saisi le rapport de teste de grossesse avec le cœur mort. Ma meilleure amie m'a aidée à créer une nouvelle identité pour que Charles ne me retrouve jamais et que je puisse disparaître de son monde. S'il ne pouvait pas offrir à mon enfant et à moi une famille complète, alors il valait mieux rompre net cet amour bâti sur la responsabilité et les mensonges, une fois pour toutes.
