Katress Hat

From Bully to Lover He spent years tormenting her. She spent years trying to forget him. But fate has a twisted sense of humor... and a dangerously possessive heart. Violet "Vee" Rivers grew up in the shadows—quiet, smart, and the constant target of one boy’s cruelty. Xavier "Zay" Knight was her worst nightmare: cold smirks, cruel words, and the kind of intense gaze that left her burning with humiliation... and something else she could never admit. For years, she believed he hated her. For years, she hated him right back. Now in college and far from the small town that raised her, Vee is finally free. New city, new campus, new beginning. But her fresh start shatters on day one—when she sees him. Older, sharper, hotter. And still watching her like he owns her. Zay never forgot her. Never wanted anyone else. And he sure as hell didn’t let her go. When he sees another man getting too close, Zay snaps—and makes his first move. What starts as obsession turns into a dangerous game of seduction, secrets, and surrender. Vee is no longer the scared girl from the past—but Zay isn’t the same boy either. He’s darker now. And he doesn’t just want her. He wants every piece of her—mind, body, and soul. She may hate him… but she won’t be able to stop herself from loving him. Even if it destroys them both.

An einem Winterabend kreuzen sich zwei gebrochene Seelen auf dem Dach eines Gebäudes. Er, Gabriel, 37 Jahre alt, hat gerade erfahren, dass er steril ist. Seine letzte Hoffnung ist zerbrochen. Seine Träume von Vaterschaft, die Opfer… alles war vergeblich. Er ist dort oben, um dem Lärm der Welt zu entfliehen, um sich dem Abgrund zu stellen. Sie, Élise, 19 Jahre alt, ist nach einem Anruf, der ihre Realität erschüttert hat, auf dasselbe Dach gestiegen: Sie ist schwanger. Aber sie ist Jungfrau. Kein Mann, ja, kein Kontakt, nichts. Und doch ist der Test eindeutig. Ihr Arzt spricht von einem "Wunder", aber für sie ist es eine brutale Unmöglichkeit, fast ein Verrat ihres eigenen Körpers. Sie kann nicht mehr. Sie möchte verstehen oder verschwinden. In dieser schwebenden Nacht sprechen sie miteinander. Sie kennen sich nicht, und doch entsteht eine Verbindung, zerbrechlich, intensiv. Eine Art Zärtlichkeit zwischen zwei Einsamkeiten. Sie teilen nur Fragmente ihrer Wahrheit, ohne zu wissen, dass ihre Schicksale bereits viel tiefer miteinander verwoben sind, als sie sich vorstellen können. Denn was weder der eine noch die andere noch weiß, ist, dass vor einigen Wochen ein Fehler in einer Fertilitätsklinik gemacht wurde. Das Sperma von Gabriel, das trotz seiner Diagnose aufbewahrt wurde, wurde versehentlich bei einer Insemination verwendet. Und das Kind, das Élise erwartet, ist seines. Ein unerwartetes Drama, ein Geheimnis, das im Fleisch eines unschuldigen zukünftigen Kindes geschrieben steht. Und wenn die Wahrheit ans Licht kommt, wird nichts mehr so sein wie zuvor.

Kita tidak bisa memilih dengan siapa kita jatuh cinta. Jika kita mencintai orang yang seharusnya tidak kita cintai, apakah itu salah? Lantas, siapa yang harus disalahkan? Apakah dua insan yang diberi karunia itu, ataukah Tuhan yang menciptakan perasaan tersebut?

Hidupnya selalu tampak sempurna di mata semua orang, walaupun pada kenyataannya, Indira tidak pernah merasa bahagia. Tujuh tahun pernikahan dengan Anggara harus ia tutupi dengan kebohongan-kebohongan, serta senyum dan tawa palsu. Namun, ketika cinta berpihak kepadanya, ia malah melabuhkan hatinya kepada Arjuna, seorang Insinyur Sipil yang bekerja di proyek pembangunan kantornya. Hanya di depan Arjuna, Indira bisa menjadi dirinya yang sesungguhnya. Jujur dan utuh! Tapi sayangnya, mereka berdua tidak selayaknya memadu kasih. Inikah yang Indira cari selama ini? Ataukah hanya keputusasaan sesaat? (Cover by Verona)

Alors j'ai attrapé un téléphone jetable. « J'accepte ton offre. Trois jours. Sors-moi de Paris. »

“Elijah!” I sneered, slapping him right across the face; he seemed unaffected as he let out a smirk. “What do you think you're doing?!” I said. "Look at me closely, sweetie. I know how you feel about me. Every inch of you is my property; I own you, and if you'd think you're free from me, you're dead wrong" Elijah scoffed as he pinned me against the bathroom door. I yanked his grip off me before glaring at him, unaffected by his presence which once gave me butterflies. “Whatever you tried to do out there, don't test me. I can have you thrown back in jail if I wanted” He spat. “My life has got nothing to do with you!” I muttered. “Oh it's my business of course, so now you're sleeping with other men to get me jealous right?” he chuckled manacly. “You left me to die in jail, who I am with is none of your concern!” I yelled back. “I'm not afraid of you Elijah!” I responded nonchalantly. “Under which grounds? Last time I checked, you don't have the power to do that anymore.” Elijah's face turned red and he held my hand even tighter, gripping my cheeks until I could not move. “You don't scare me, Elijah” I said despite the quivering of my hands, “not anymore.” ***** Laura's world crashes down after she marries Elijah, her boss.
