Le jour où j'ai su qu'il ne me restait plus que trois jours à vivre, mon compagnon est rentré avec un contrat de rupture de lien. Il voulait rompre notre lien pour s'unir à une autre louve qui prétendait être mourante, simplement pour exaucer son dernier souhait. « Chérie, je n'avais pas le choix », m'a dit Théo Lambert en me serrant dans ses bras. « Nina Carrel a été empoisonnée à l'argent, il ne lui reste qu'une semaine à vivre. Son plus grand souhait avant de mourir, c'est de m'épouser. » « Mais ne t'inquiète pas, la seule que j'aime, c'est toi », a ajouté Théo en me regardant avec sincérité. « Dès que la cérémonie sera terminée et qu'elle sera morte, nous reprendrons notre lien. » J'ai baissé la tête avec un léger sourire et j'ai signé le contrat de rupture. Tant pis. De toute façon, j'allais mourir, alors peu importe avec qui il était. Autant le laisser réaliser son vœu.

She heard his voice and remembered him from the pool party. Nagpakilala itong Red, at ganoon din ang naririnig niyang tawag ng mga kasamahan nito dito. He began to touch her in all the areas where she had never allowed anyone to touch. He started kissing her neck as he slid his burning hands inside her panties. Her screams and cries were gagged.

Le jour où je suis tombée enceinte à nouveau, Antoine a décidé de ne plus jouer de l'argent et de travailler dur pour subvenir à nos besoins. J'étais tellement émue que j'ai fondu en larmes et, d'une main tremblante, je lui ai donné tout l'argent que j'avais économisé en travaillant des petits boulots pendant un an. Deux billets sont tombés par terre. Je les ai ramassés et j'ai suivi Antoine dehors. Mais au bout de la ruelle, j'ai vu les hommes de la mafia, ceux qui étaient venus nous harceler pour les dettes, s'incliner devant Antoine avec respect. Il s'est avéré que sa pauvreté n'était qu'une comédie. « Chef, est-ce qu'on doit encore venir faire semblant de vous menacer demain ? » Antoine, assis à l'arrière d'une voiture, a répondu avec nonchalance : « Non, ce ne sera plus nécessaire. » Il a regardé la bague à son doigt et a soupiré doucement. « Toutes ces années ont prouvé que son amour était sincère. La dernière fois, pour payer mes dettes, elle travaillait comme une folle et a fait une fausse couche à cause du surmenage. » « Je lui ai déjà fait assez de mal. Il est temps de lui dire ma véritable identité pour qu'elle n'ait pas à travailler si dur. » Mais à son côté, son amie d'enfance Yvette a fait la moue : « Non, ce n'est pas encore le moment de révéler la vérité ! Et si elle était comme les autres femmes, ne s'intéressait qu'à ton argent et à ton statut de chef de la mafia ? » « Attendons de voir si elle veut donner naissance à ce bébé. » Antoine a réfléchi un instant avant d'acquiescer : « D'accord. De toute façon, elle est déjà avec moi depuis si longtemps, elle ne me quittera pas. » En serrant inconsciemment les billets dans ma main, je me suis retournée et les larmes ont coulé. Antoine, cet amour rempli de mensonges, je n'en voulais plus !

Follow and carry out the rules the Floros' had given him—watch the kid, keep him out of trouble, and collect a generous paycheck. But Layland Floros is anything but a kid. Beautiful, bold, and entirely too provocative for his own good, Layland isn’t interested in being watched. With a bratty attitude that dares Gunner to break every boundary he’s set for himself when he's on the job, Layland turns a simple assignment into something far more dangerous. Gunner's never been with a man. Never even thought about it—until Layland. Now, every moment in that house is thick with tension, with heat that hums just beneath the surface. The more Gunner tries to keep things professional, the harder it becomes to ignore what he was really feeling towards the young man. Soon, duty gives way to desire, and Gunner finds himself crossing lines he swore he wouldn’t. But when the chemistry between them explodes into something real and raw, he’ll have to face the truth: babysitting Layland and carrying out the young man's parents' rules was never the hard part. Staying away from him is. And if Layland's parents find out what really happened behind the closed doors of their home, Gunner could lose more than just the job.
