Le Corbusier Chair

Un soir d’hiver, deux âmes brisées se croisent sur le toit d’un immeuble. Gabriel, 37 ans, vient d’apprendre qu’il est stérile. Son dernier espoir vient de s'effondrer. Ses rêves de paternité, les sacrifices… tout était vain. Il est monté là-haut pour fuir le vacarme du monde, pour faire face à l’abîme. Élise, 19 ans, est montée sur ce même toit après avoir reçu un appel qui a fait basculer sa réalité : elle est enceinte. Mais elle est vierge. Aucun homme , oui , aucun contact , rien. Et pourtant, le test est formel. Son médecin parle d’un "miracle", mais pour elle, c’est une impossibilité crue, presque une trahison de son propre corps. Elle n’en peut plus. Elle veut comprendre ou disparaître. Dans cette nuit suspendue, ils se parlent. Ils ne se connaissent pas, et pourtant, un lien se tisse, fragile, intense. Une forme de tendresse entre deux solitudes. Ils ne partagent que des fragments de leur vérité, sans savoir que leurs destins sont déjà liés bien plus profondément qu’ils ne l’imaginent. Car ce que ni l’un ni l’autre ne sait encore, c’est que quelques semaines plus tôt, une erreur a été commise dans une clinique de fertilité. Le sperme de Gabriel, conservé malgré son diagnostic, a été utilisé par mégarde lors d’une insémination. Et l’enfant qu’attend Élise est le sien. Un drame inattendu, un secret inscrit dans la chair d’un futur innocent. Et quand la vérité éclatera, rien ne sera plus jamais comme avant.

Xenia has always tried to be the perfect daughter. All her life, she's been good, non rebellious, obedient. Even when her parents kept treating her like an outcast over her sister because she was born wolfless. Never for once did she deviate from being the good little daughter. UNTIL her own parents sold her off to an Alpha who was crippled. That was when she realized that being good surely wouldn't pay her and she's ready to do anything she can - to get out of this stupid arrangement. Even if it means paying a stranger she met in a dirty bar to take her virginity. Isn't it a taboo for the Alpha to marry a non virgin? For all it's worth, she taught she definitely won. But then her father introduces the Alpha in a wheel chair and when she turns ready to blurt out that she's no virgin - SHOCK FROZE HER FEET TO THE FLOOR. Because sitting in that wheel chair was the same man who she had spent the night before with.

Sombre Ténèbre Dans le faste discret d’un hôtel de luxe au cœur des États-Unis, Nahia Velasquez, jeune femme sans histoires, vierge et désespérée, accepte de remplacer son amie call-girl pour une seule nuit , mais c'est une erreur , cette nuit avec un inconnu. Il ne dit pas son nom. Il ne pose pas de questions. Il la prend sans douceur, sans promesse. Et marque sa chair d’un désir qu’elle ne comprend pas. Elle pensait disparaître au matin, oublier cette nuit volée à sa propre vie. Mais il la réclame le lendemain . Quand elle refuse, il comprend. Elle n’est pas une prostituée. Elle n’aurait jamais dû être là. Mais Salvatore Caruso, chef incontesté de la mafia italienne, n’est pas un homme qu’on repousse. Il est à New York pour affaires. Il repartira bientôt pour Rome, où l’attend un empire bâti sur le sang et la peur. Il n’a pas le temps pour les jeux. Alors il lui fait une offre glaciale : 5 000 000 de dollars pour qu’elle soit à lui pendant six mois corps et âme . Elle signe un contrat , mais c'est une cage dorée et le diable comme geôlier. Nahia accepte parce que sa mère est mourante, et que les frais d’hôpital s’accumulent. Ce qu’elle ignore, c’est qu’elle vient d’entrer dans un monde où l’amour est une faiblesse, où le désir peut tuer, et où l’on ne s’enfuit jamais vraiment. Car Salvatore ne connaît ni la tendresse, ni la pitié. Il prend , il garde , il détruit. Mais Nahia n’est pas qu’un jouet. Elle pourrait bien allumer l’étincelle que même un roi des ténèbres ne saurait maîtriser. Ou se perdre à jamais dans ses sombres ténèbres.

Lors d'un affrontement entre meutes, ma sœur adoptive Chloé et moi avons été blessées. Un Rogue m'avait mise en pièces, ne laissant qu'un amas de chair et de sang. Ma louve s'éteignait déjà dans mon esprit. Mais mon compagnon Alpha, Damon, a couru droit vers Chloé. Elle n'avait qu'une simple éraflure au visage. Il a refusé d'utiliser son pouvoir d'Alpha pour me sauver, m'accusant d'être la cause du désastre. « Hélène, si tu ne nous avais pas ralentis, rien de tout ça ne serait arrivé ! Comment Chloé aurait-elle pu être blessée ? » « Tu ne vaux pas qu'on gaspille les ressources de la meute pour toi. » Au final, on m'a laissé pour morte dans la forêt, sans lien, oubliée. Et quand la vérité a éclaté — que j'étais morte pour le sauver — cet Alpha au cœur de pierre, celui qui m'avait rejetée si cruellement, est devenu fou.

Studying abroad can be incredibly lonely at times. That night, I was in my room, indulging in a little treat for myself, when my best friend suddenly burst through the door. "Doing it yourself is no fun. Come on. There's a super cool cabaret show going on. Let's go see it together!" On stage, my friend was reclining in a chair behind the curtain, with two strong-looking men on top of her. "Come on. Join us for a group dance..."

NOTE:: PLEASE READ MAFIA EMPEROR (Book One) . . I leaned back in my chair with a heavy sigh and glanced up at the moon in the sky. It was full and shining brightly in the clear sky. I glanced down at the display. It was midnight. The new day began. He didn't remember this day nor he come. I stared at the cake with tearful eyes, "It must be something important." I told myself and pushed on my feet. Unhappiness drowned me.

The past Day 159 after the first New Species were freed Joy tried to relax in the chair but worry over her client made her fidget. She glanced at the clock, noting he was late again. Minutes ticked by while her anger grew. It was the fourth session in a row that 466 had blown off. He did it on purpose. She knew he was going to be irate over what she’d done in retaliation but he’d left her with no choice. The loud sound of a menacing growl startled her. Her gaze flew to the door a second before it was thrown open. 466 hovered in the hallway, his rich brown hair messed up as if he’d dried it upside down with a blow dryer to give it that fullness. Rage showed in his narrowed, dark gaze. She guessed he’d been the source of the noise. He was pushed forward as one of the guards entered the office behind her client. “Here he is. He wasn’t happy but we got him.” The man shot a dirty look at 466. “Four of his men convinced him to come along or we would have had to drag his inside in shackles. He wanted to fight me.” She winced. “Please sit, 466.” “It seems I don’t have a choice.” He sauntered over to the chair in front of her desk and dropped his big body down hard enough to make the piece of furniture groan. “So much for saying we are free.”

Keios was a rebel who's so inlove with danger and lust, pero si Eunice? Siya ang klase ng panganib na unang nagpadama sa kanya ng takot at walang kapantay na pagnanasang kahit kailan ay hindi niya pa nadama sa iba. This can't be. He can't be lusting for a married woman now that his whole world got stuck on a wheel chair! Pero kaya niya ba? Mapipigilan ba niya ang tibok ng puso niya kung halos lahat ay makakalaban niya-pati na ang sarili niya?

“No! Please, Santiago--” I whimpered, as his hand seized my wrist with an iron grip, yanking me forward, dragging me effortlessly toward the chair he had pulled into the center of the room the night before. The symbol of my humiliation. He stopped right in front of the chair, spinning me around, facing him. "You want me to be your monster, mi ángel?" His hand grabbed my throat, tilting my chin up until my eyes locked with his dark gaze. I flinched from the sudden movement. "Cause I’ll be your favorite monster — just say the word, cariño." Santiago’s face hovered only inches from mine. His lips so close, I could taste the sweetness of his breath — once making butterflies take flight in my stomach, now curdling my insides into a cold, suffocating fear. Slowly, his free hand rose toward my face. I held my breath. His touch was deceptively soft and gentle, caressing my cheek. His thumb lingered against my lips, tracing them slowly, his eyes fixed there as he spoke — his voice soft, yet heavy with menace. "Divorce is not an option, mi amor. We took a vow five years ago. Remember?" He finally lifted his gaze to meet mine, catching every flicker of fear before he delivered his last words like a verdict: "Till death do us part."
