Jon And Kate Plus 8

I merely brought up the wedding decorations, and my fiancé's first love ran out of the room in tears. Ian Murray slapped me so hard I fell to the ground. His face twisted in fury, teeth clenched with hatred. "Daphne, are you that desperate to get married? Afraid no one else will want you, so you're clinging to me, forcing me into it? Our wedding next week is postponed!" I held my face, but not even a ripple stirred in my heart. This made the eighth time he'd postponed it. I had been waiting for him since I was twenty-eight. Now, in my early thirties, I was still getting nowhere closer to being married. So this time, I quietly packed my things and chose to leave. Maybe this marriage didn't need to happen after all.

"How many men were there before me? None. Do you know how much shame I carry having you by my side as my girlfriend? Even your own mother is ashamed of you - you said it yourself." "I never begged for your love, Jun," I snapped back, tears stinging my eyes. "Why date me if you're ashamed of my size?" "Pity. That was it. I dated you out of pity. And yet, you're still so ungrateful." --- All Charlotte ever wanted was to become an actress. But growing up in a family that constantly belittled her and dating a man like Jun, who tore her down because of her size, made that dream feel unreachable. After a devastating breakup, she flees to the United States, desperate for space to breathe. But she never imagined everything would change before the plane even touched down. Now, she finds herself entangled with a mysterious billionaire - one who seems dangerously obsessed with her. Charlotte knows better than to trust too easily.  But how do you protect your heart when someone seems too good to be true… and refuses to let you go?

Claire nodded, then groaned as he withdrew his finger from her pulsing, aching sex. She heard him walk down the hallway, heard him open the drawer in the bedside table, heard the crinkle of the condom wrapper, heard him approach her again. And that whole time, she stayed where she was: legs trembling and open, hands clenched into fists on the wall, heart pounding and pussy fluttering. Suddenly, he was on her, his cock nudging her from behind, his hands on her hips. Claire whimpered again, pushed back against him. **** John “Griff” Griffin lives by rules. Always has. From the Navy to the SEALs to his job as a bodyguard at Solid Security, control is survival. Protocol saves lives. Boundaries exist for a reason, especially during honeypot ops. Break the rules, and people get hurt. Griff knows that better than anyone. The problem is Claire Worthington. Claire is supposed to be a spoiled socialite hiding after a billion-dollar Ponzi scheme. A criminal. A mark. Instead, she’s living quietly in Denver: working, rebuilding, and starting over like she actually means it. She doesn’t look guilty. She looks… real. When Griff breaks every rule and falls for her, it feels like freedom. It’s also a lie. He’s hiding his name, his job, and the truth – that he was sent to get close and gather evidence. If Claire knew, would she forgive him? Should she? And if she really is guilty, will Griff turn her in… or protect the woman he loves, no matter the cost?

Je croyais qu'en tant que compagne prédestinée de l'Alpha Liam de la meute de l'Ombre, je serais l'unique Luna de toute sa vie. Aujourd'hui, ses mensonges se sont brisés.

Pour Isabelle, ce jour devait être le plus beau. Mais il est devenu le pire, celui qui a basculé son monde. La trahison de son fiancé a brisé son cœur alors qu’il venait à peine de lui jurer un amour éternel. Cette blessure fut si profonde qu’elle faillit l’emporter, la contraignant à disparaître, à changer d’identité et à vivre loin de tout, même de son bien-aimé Clément. Quatre ans plus tard, celle qui se fait désormais appeler Rachelle revient, animée par une seule obsession : se venger de celui qui est responsable de son sort. Mais son plan prend une tournure inattendue dès son retour lorsqu’elle croise le chemin de Clément. À sa stupéfaction, il la reconnaît instantanément, refusant de croire à sa nouvelle vie. « Même si tu reviens avec une autre identité, je sais que tu m’aimes toujours », dit Clément d’un ton amusé en la serrant fort dans ses bras. « Lâchez-moi, monsieur. Je m’appelle Rachelle, et non Isabelle », rétorque-t-elle, furieuse, en essayant de se dégager. « Je t’ai toujours mieux connue que toi-même. Que ces quelques années loin de moi ne te trompent pas : tu es mon Isabelle, l’amour de ma vie », insiste-t-il en resserrant son étreinte. « Plus jamais je ne te laisserai partir. Tu es à moi, et à moi seul. » Tiraillée entre sa soif de vengeance et les sentiments tumultueux que sa présence réveille, Rachelle/Isabelle se retrouve à un carrefour. Parviendra-t-elle à mener à bien sa revanche, ou l’emprise persistante de Clément et le passé qu’ils ont partagé auront-ils raison de sa colère ? Son retour marquera-t-il la fin de leur histoire d’amour, ou le début d’un nouveau chapitre, forgé dans le pardon ou la destruction ?
