La Nuit Avant De Le Connaître

Au moment où Léa Laurent a fait une fausse couche, Mathis Bernard célébrait le retour de son premier amour. Malgré trois années de dévouement et de présence à ses côtés, il les a réduits à dire qu’elle n’était que la domestique et la cuisinière de la maison. Léa a perdu tout espoir et a décidé de divorcer. Tous les amis du milieu savaient que Léa était connue pour être collante, impossible de s’en débarrasser. « Je parie qu’en une journée, Léa reviendra sagement. » Mathis a répondu : « Un jour ? Trop long, au plus une demi-journée et elle reviendra d’elle-même. » Au moment du divorce, Léa a décidé de ne plus revenir en arrière ; elle s’est lancée dans une nouvelle vie, a repris sa carrière abandonnée et a commencé à rencontrer de nouvelles personnes. Les jours ont passé, et Mathis n’a plus jamais revu Léa à la maison. Mathis a soudain paniqué. Mais lors d’un sommet professionnel, il a enfin vu Léa entourée par une foule. Il s’est précipité vers elle sans hésiter, « Léa, tu n’as pas encore fini de faire la tête ? » Arthur Perrot s’est brusquement interposé devant Léa, l’a repoussé d’une main, dégageant une aura glaciale et intimidante, « Ne touche pas à ta belle-sœur. » Mathis ne l’avait jamais aimée ; mais quand il est tombé amoureux d’elle, elle n’avait déjà plus de place pour lui à ses côtés.

Two years into my marriage with Don Dante, my ex came back. Julian, the man who shattered my heart five years ago. He announced he was getting engaged. And he wanted me as his mistress. "I know I hurt you," he said. "My family looks down on mob ties. It was never going to work. But now? I'm marrying Tiffany. I'm taking over the family empire. I can finally afford to keep you." I just sneered at him. "Did it ever occur to you that I might be married?" He scoffed. "What decent family would have you? The daughter of a mob underboss? Don't be ridiculous." His arrogance made me sick. When I refused, he slapped a black card on the table. Told me to buy whatever I wanted. He said he'd pick me up next week. That we could spend every weekend tangled up in his bed. I spat on the floor at his feet. "Get him out," I told my guard. "And take his trash with him." He didn't get it. Not then. But he would. The moment he found out who I married. I didn't just marry anyone. I married the king of the Chicago underworld. A man he could never touch. And when he finally figured it out, he lost his goddamn mind.

On the day of my wedding, the video I had painstakingly prepared was suddenly replaced with intimate photos of my fiancé and my foster sister, Lindsey Remmington. Within minutes, it hit the top of the trending list. Overnight, I, a celebrated actress, became the abandoned bride of a wealthy family and a public laughingstock. Just when I thought I'd reached rock bottom, Connor Presley, the heir of Elluel City's most powerful family and the boy I'd grown up with, returned from abroad. In front of flashing cameras, he knelt with a diamond ring and proposed, silencing every rumor and every sneer. After we married, we appeared inseparable, our affection the picture of perfection. The only flaw was his infertility—his condition made it nearly impossible for me to conceive. For three long years, I underwent countless rounds of IVF. At last, I became pregnant. Connor was overjoyed. To celebrate, he threw an extravagant party in honor of our long-awaited child. But in the middle of the revelry, one of his closest friends, drunk and unguarded, muttered in Russian, "Connor, you've gone too far. Just because Lindsey was afraid pregnancy would ruin her figure, you put the zygote into Rachel's body and let her carry the baby for you two? If she ever finds out the truth, you'll regret it for the rest of your life." Connor's expression didn't waver. "This was Lindsey's only wish. I had to grant it," he replied coolly. "Besides, having a child with Lindsey has always been my dream. Only her child deserves to be the heir of the Presley family. The days ahead are long—I'll make it up to Rachel, eventually." I stood frozen, my body trembling uncontrollably. That night, I made an appointment for an abortion. When Connor stormed into the hospital, raging like a madman, I looked up at him with chilling calm and said, "I understand Russian."

“are you ok” Halley says through mindlink. “no I need to get out of here” I reply “what’s wrong” “that’s my brother” I say, panicked “sh.it" she says out loud “Just stay here, and I will sneak off. If he’s here, Shane might be, too. He’s your mate, you have to talk to him” “I’m not going to be his mate” she says out loud, sh.it. Why couldn’t she use her inner voice “sorry” she looks at me and shrugs, realising she said it out loud. Sam looks around confused “what’s wrong? we don’t know each other. You have to give me a chance before deciding that” he pleads “I know enough about you to decide” she says as I try to get up without him noticing. He looks really upset and confused, and then he turns and sees me. “Aria” he says, shocked before he hugged me “I thought we lost you. We looked for you everywhere” he says, upset. “Why would you do that? You made it clear I am not your sister, with words and actions now. Please let me go. I would like to leave” I say, annoyed and worried “Please just wait, let me talk to you, I’m sorry” he begs, but I can’t it must be a trick
