L'heure Du Divorce

When I'm paying the pension for my jobless wife, Lilith Ingram, I accidentally find out that she's had a job this whole time. She's paid a salary of two thousand dollars, which is wired into her personal bank account. Every month, the money will be transferred elsewhere, leaving her without a single cent. I've never seen the money before. Back when our daughter, Maisy Ingram, was severely ill, we were 200 dollars short to pay for her hospital bills. I was so poor that I had to sell my blood and beg everyone around me just to get them to lend me money. But during that time, Lilith never thought of sharing the burden with me. She merely comforted me with empty words before transferring two thousand dollars to her first love, Hayden Grant, the next day. Our marriage of 30 years is reduced to nothing but a laughingstock. I place the divorce agreement that I've printed out in front of Lilith. It's a silent confrontation between us. "Must you really resort to this method?" Lilith snaps impatiently. "It's just two thousand dollars! You have an annual salary of 200 thousand dollars! Why care so much about chum change?" Even Maisy takes her side by calling me a petty, stingy geezer. "Everyone has an unattainable first love when they're still young! You should be grateful that Hayden has been holding back his urges without crossing the line for so many years!" I feel as though I got struck by lightning at that moment. It's then that I belatedly realize I'm the only outsider in this family. "Getting a divorce is fine by me. Hayden's getting on with the years. I just want to take care of him and send him off when his time eventually arrives." Maisy adapts a righteous tone. "As compensation for me, I get the house, the car, and the savings. You're leaving this marriage without a single cent under your name."

“Just because of the husband’s incapability, he could no longer fulfill his duty.” “Tonight, you'll prove if I am incapable of my husband duty, Sierra Navarro-Delgado,” mahinang usal ng asawa sa kanya. Si Sierra Navarro-Delgado ay nakipaghiwalay sa kanyang asawa at nang araw din iyon, mabilis na kumalat ang balita tungkol sa kanyang pakikipahiwalay sa asawang si Nathan Delgado. Pagkatapos ng kanilang hiwalayan, naging sikat na international designer si Sierra at ngayo’y napapalibutan ng maraming mga gwapong lalaki.

Sa kabila ng kanyang muling kasikatan at dami ng mga manliligaw, hindi pa rin mawala sa kanyang isip ang dating asawa dahil sa palagi nitong ginagawa sa kanya sa kabila ng kanilang paghihiwalayan. Ngayon nakikita ni Sierra ang kanyang sarili na nahihirapang alisin ang kanyang nararamdaman sa dating asawa kahit pa man sa masasakit na nakaraan na kanyang naranasan sa kamay nito. Paano pa kaya makakalimot si Sierra kung walang ibang ginawa ang kanyang dating asawa kung hindi ipadama sa kanya ang mga bagay na pinangarap niya lang noon sa piling nito? Will she give Nicholas Delgado a chance to fixed her broken heart?

Quand l’amour frappe à la porte, peut-on vraiment oublier la douleur ? Cassandra Bellamy, brillante et richissime héritière au cœur blessé, a tourné le dos à l’amour depuis qu’une trahison a laissé en elle des cicatrices profondes. Forte, indépendante, mais secrètement vulnérable, elle consacre sa vie à réussir... jusqu’au jour où le destin la confronte à Nolan Cruz, un inconnu aussi séduisant qu’énigmatique, son regard intense. Sa voix rauque. Sa façon de lui parler comme si elle était la seule femme au monde. Avec lui, chaque geste devient une caresse, chaque silence une invitation. Mais Nolan, lui aussi, cache ses cicatrices. Et entre eux, le désir monte, lentement… dangereusement. Entre eux, l’attirance est immédiate, brûlante, mais aucun des deux n’est prêt à se livrer. Entre silences, blessures anciennes et passions incontrôlables, ils vont devoir choisir : se protéger ou se laisser guérir par l’autre. Dans ce jeu de peaux et de confidences, ils vont s’apprivoiser, se dévoiler, s’effleurer... jusqu’à ce que leurs blessures s’ouvrent à nouveau — pour peut-être mieux guérir. Et si l’amour naissait justement là où ça faisait mal ? Dans ce voyage entre douleur et désir, les cœurs marqués oseront-ils s’aimer à nouveau… ?

I thought the divorce would set me free. I thought walking away from my husband would finally give me peace. But I didn’t expect him—my cold, sinfully dangerous stepbrother—to be the one waiting on the other side of my freedom. Rage Roswell doesn’t ask. He takes. And the moment he found out I was no longer married, that I was vulnerable, alone, easy to steal… he stepped in like a storm I couldn’t escape. He pinned me with those cold eyes and said one thing: “You’re mine now.” I should’ve run. I should’ve fought the tension, the heat, the hunger he ignites with just a stare. But he knows every weakness I try to hide. Every tremble. Every breath. Every part of me I shouldn’t be giving him. After the divorce, I thought I was reclaiming my life. Instead, I walked straight into the hands of the man who’s willing to burn everything—everyone—just to claim me. And this time… He won’t let me go.

I've stood before a priest and sworn my vows to the same man seven times. And for the seventh time, I've signed divorce papers in front of the family lawyer. At our first wedding, the youngest Capo of the Throne family held my hand and promised, "From this day forward, my life is yours and yours alone." But whenever his childhood sweetheart stirred up trouble and needed his protection, Carter's vow to me would conveniently become a sanctuary for her. "Tessa's in trouble again, Maeve. For your own safety, we have to get a divorce for now." The first time I was forced to divorce, I threatened him with the honor of our families' alliance, even vowing to expose his betrayal at a family gathering. His men dragged me out of the manor. The third time I signed the papers, I humbled myself, sneaking into the family's private club just to catch a glimpse of him from afar. By the sixth time, I had learned to quietly pack my few belongings in this house of lies, without putting up a fight. My breakdowns and desperate, undignified attempts to save us were only ever met with Carter's reliable promise to remarry me, just before another round of the divorce game he played for Tessa's sake. Until this time. After hearing Tessa was returning to New York from Italy, I didn't wait for Carter to speak. I placed the signed divorce papers in his study myself. Just like always, he casually set a date for our remarriage. But he didn't know that day was the day I would disappear from his world forever.
