Julie Thompson

Jeremy Hansen throws a divorce agreement at Joanna Thompson on the day she finds out she's pregnant with twins. He also gives her 300 million dollars as their breakup fee. Why? Because his true love is back in the country! Joanna doesn't kick a fuss or throw a tantrum. She takes the money and moves out of their marital home without argument. She doesn't expect Jeremy to be so cruel, though—he wants her to abort the children. Why should she listen to him? "You're not going to abort them, huh?" Jeremy sneers. "Do you think we won't have to go through with the divorce if you're still pregnant with my children?" Joanna sneers back at him. A few days later, she accidentally miscarries. After being discharged from the hospital, she and Jeremy finalize the divorce. Three years later, the paparazzi capture Joanna on a street abroad while holding onto a pair of adorable boy-girl twins. Jeremy stares at the photo as his eyes slowly redden. Then, he flies abroad at top speed to stand in Joanna and the twins' way. "You've played me for three years, Joanna! It's high time that you stop with this tantrum." She takes off her sunglasses and raises a nonchalant eyebrow. "Sorry, but who are you?"

The night my in-laws were rushed to the hospital after a car accident, I hurried over to handle the situation. At the payment counter, I swiped my card—only to find that the joint account I shared with my husband had a mere two dollars left. I called my husband, Zarrick Thompson, over and over again. But he never picked up. It wasn't until later that I learned the truth—he had taken our money to celebrate his first love's birthday. Desperate, I borrowed seventy thousand from a friend to save my in-laws. But after they recovered, they flat-out denied everything. My husband, meanwhile, made no attempt to hide his relationship with her. He wanted me gone. To force me into a divorce, he went as far as setting me up—staging an affair, taking photos of me being humiliated. Then he used them to threaten me. Either I walked away with nothing, shouldering all our debts, or he would ruin me completely. I worked endlessly, day and night, to pay it all off. Until, one winter, I collapsed in a frozen alley and never got up again. But when I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the accident.

“You were never the one I loved, Elena. You were just… convenient.” The words shattered everything. After twelve years of marriage, Elena Thompson thought she had built a life worth protecting.

By the time she realizes it, she has already lost everything. But fate gives her a second chance. Elena wakes up at twenty-two, on the day she said yes to him. This time, she sees the lies before they’re hidden, the betrayal before it unfolds, and the people who once watched her fall. She doesn’t walk away. She stays. Because walking away would be too easy. If she’s going to lose him, she’ll make sure he loses everything first. And in a world where power decides who wins, Elena sets her sights on the one man no one dares to touch, her ex-husband’s godfather. Cold. Untouchable. Dangerous. The only man powerful enough to help her destroy them all. But as her plan unfolds, Elena realizes too late She’s no longer the one in control.

I bet you’ve heard the story about the player that gets played. Yes, that’s me, Dylan Ashford. I am in an open relationship with my long-term girlfriend, and when I realize she is only using me for my name, I discover I am in too deep until I meet her, the girl with the brown eyes that make my world spin upside down, and believe I still have a chance of the love I always dreamed of. People see me as a Joker and a Playboy, but deep down, I am a romantic, and I need to find my own true love. Watching my big brother fall in love gave me hope. My name is Joanna Thompson, but my friends know me as Jo. I work in a security firm, and after a traumatic breakup with my ex, I am looking forward to finding my true love, but my head gets turned by the one person I absolutely despise for everything that he represents. Dylan Ashford is everything I always hated in humankind. He is cocky and a player. This book can be read as a Standalone, but for better comprehension, you should read The Big Shot first. This is book number two of The Ashford book series.

Léonard m'avait aimée autrefois. Pour créer un lien du couple avec moi, il m'avait avoué son amour 99 fois. À la quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième, j'avais finalement été touchée. Le jour où nous avions célébré le rituel de marquage, je lui avais offert quatre-vingt-dix-neuf cartes de pardon, avec la promesse suivante : « Je te donnerai quatre-vingt-dix-neuf chances d'être pardonné. Tant que tu ne les as pas toutes utilisées, peu importe tes fautes, je te pardonnerai toujours… Et je resterai à tes côtés. » Pendant les six années de notre lien du couple, j'avais rarement eu besoin de ces cartes. Mais depuis un an, son amie d'enfance, Julie, était revenue. Et le nombre de cartes de pardon que j'utilisais avait commencé à augmenter. Quand j'ai utilisé la quatre-vingt-dix-huitième carte, Léonard a remarqué que j'avais changé. Je ne pleurais plus. Je ne me disputais plus avec lui à cause de Julie. Je le regardais simplement, avec un visage calme, et je lui ai demandé : « Si tu vas la retrouver… Est-ce que je peux utiliser une carte de pardon ? » Léonard a hésité un instant, puis a repris son ton habituel : « D'accord. De toute façon, t'en as utilisé quoi… Une cinquantaine ? Si tu veux, utilise. » Je n'ai rien répondu. Je l'ai laissé quitter la maison. Mais il ne savait pas que c'était la quatre-vingt-dix-huitième. Il ne lui restait plus qu'une seule chance. Et une fois la dernière carte utilisée… Je le quitterais pour toujours.

Le jour de ma fête d'anniversaire, mon mari Léo Thomas a soudainement amené ma sœur adoptive Anne et son enfant. Au moment de partir, il a naturellement installé Anne à côté de lui, puis il m'a dit : « L'enfant a facilement le mal des transports, la banquette arrière est pleine de choses, et toi, tu peux prendre le bus, tu es en bonne forme. » Mes amis ont immédiatement ajouté : « Tu es sa sœur, tu devrais t'occuper d'elle et de son enfant. » Il y avait quatre voitures, mais il n'y avait aucune place pour moi, la personne principale. J'ai donc pris le bus, toute triste, et en chemin, j'ai vu dans le groupe de discussion que Léo et Anne Dupont échangeaient des messages complices. En plus, les sujets dont je ne savais rien. Lorsque j'ai ouvert la vidéo publiée il y a peu, il n'y avait plus que des restes sur la table préparés pour moi. Même mon gâteau d'anniversaire, que j'avais préparé avec soin, avait été donné par Léo comme dessert à Anne et à sa fille. Certaines personnes, choquées, lui ont demandé s'il ne trouvait pas ça un peu excessif. Tout en essuyant la bouche d'Anne, Léo a répondu sans même lever la tête : « Nous sommes tous une famille, Julie Dubois ne va pas être en colère. » À ce moment-là, mon mariage de sept ans avec lui s'est terminé.

The mate bond ceremony had barely ended when Simon Thompson, Alpha of the Moonshade Pack, suddenly shoved me aside. "I picked up a human girl at the border. There's a storm tonight. I need to go stay with her." My head buzzed. "If you've already decided I'm your fated mate, why are you seeing her now?" He stood up and pulled on his clothes. The bite mark I had left was still visible on the side of his neck. "Tanya, I love you. But life is long. I need something fragile like that once in a while to feel something new." My throat tightened. "So on our mate bond night, you're dumping your Luna to sleep with a human?" "Well, technically, the ceremony is already over," he corrected me, then bent down and pinched my cheek. "You're the pack's Luna now. You should be more generous." "And if I can't be?" It was as if he had been waiting for that. He smiled. "Then we sever the bond. Just know you might end up exiled as a lone wolf. Think it through, yeah?" I collapsed onto the messy bed. Simon's scent still lingered in the air. Outside the window, the full moon that had witnessed our vows looked unbearably ironic.
