Maria Gift

Mon mariage avec le parrain, Laurent Delacroix, était toujours à deux doigts d'être consommé. Nous étions fiancés depuis cinq ans et nous avions organisé 32 mariages, mais à chaque fois, nous avions un problème au milieu de la cérémonie et nous ne pouvions pas la terminer. Au 33ème mariage, au milieu de la cérémonie, le mur extérieur de l'église s'est effondré, j'ai été écrasée et mise en soins intensifs. J'avais le crâne fendu et une grave commotion cérébrale, et l'hôpital a émis plus d'une dizaine d'avis critiques... J'ai lutté sur la ligne de vie et de mort pendant deux mois avant de survivre. Mais le jour de ma sortie de l'hôpital, j'ai surpris la conversation de Laurent avec son subordonné le plus fiable. « Monsieur, si vous êtes vraiment amoureux de cette pauvre étudiante, vous n'avez qu'à rompre les fiançailles avec Mlle Katrina. La famille Delacroix est assez puissante pour arrêter tous les ragots, pourquoi devez-vous créer des accidents encore et encore... » « Elle a failli mourir. » La voix du subordonné portait la désapprobation. Laurent est resté silencieux un long moment avant de prendre la parole : « Je n'ai pas le choix... Il y a dix ans, Monsieur Mordeau m'a sauvé au prix de sa vie et de celle de sa femme. Je ne peux lui rendre cette faveur que par un contrat de mariage. » « Mais j'aime Sophie et je ne veux épouser personne d'autre qu'elle. » J'ai regardé les cicatrices sur tout mon corps et j'ai pleuré en silence. Il s'avérait que toute la douleur que j'avais endurée n'était pas due au destin, mais le résultat des actions délibérées de la personne que j'aimais tant. Puisqu'il ne pouvait pas faire de choix, c'était à moi de mettre fin à tout cela pour lui.

La veille de mon mariage, je me suis retrouvée dans le lit de mon beau-frère, et j’étais dévastée. Mon fiancé, ainsi que tout le monde, m’ont accusée d’avoir trompé. Je me détestais… jusqu’à ce que je découvre la vérité. C’était un coup monté entre mon fiancé et sa maîtresse — ma meilleure amie — pour se débarrasser de moi. La réputation pour laquelle j’avais travaillé si dur pendant des années, ma vie, mon emploi… tout était en péril. « Épousons-nous et divorçons après un an. » Il n’y avait qu’un seul moyen de me sauver : épouser mon beau-frère aîné, le plus grand ennemi de mon ex-fiancé. Je ne savais pas si c’était une bonne idée, mais rien n’était plus important que de sauver ma carrière et ma réputation. Je n’avais pas le choix…

Une fois tombée enceinte, on m'a saluée comme la femme la plus précieuse du monde souterrain. Mon mari, le nouveau Parrain de la famille Jenkins, a fermé toute la zone de service d'un hôpital privé pour mes examens, tandis que mon père, le Parrain Collins, a convoqué tous les chefs étoilés Michelin de New York dans le manoir, juste pour que je puisse choisir ce que je voulais. Le bébé que je portais était destiné à être l'unique héritier des deux familles mafieuses les plus puissantes. Mais le jour où nous devions signer les papiers garantissant l'héritage de mon enfant, ils sont tous les deux disparus. « Une affaire familiale urgente est survenue », a dit mon mari, Vincent, en m'embrassant le front. « Nous pourrons finaliser l'héritage de l'enfant à notre retour. » Peu de temps après leur départ, j'ai reçu le lien anonyme vers un live. La voix de mon père est sortie de la vidéo, plus froide que je ne l'avais jamais entendue. « Vous dites que votre contrat de mariage avec Evangeline n'a jamais été valable. Cela ne fait-il pas l'enfant illégitime ? » Vincent, allongé dans une boîte, a soufflé un anneau de fumée. Bercée dans ses bras se trouvait ma demi-sœur, Sarah. « Evangeline a toujours eu tout l'amour et l'affection. Son enfant ne manquera de rien. » « Sarah a été moquée de son statut pendant des années. Je dois arranger les choses pour elle, donner à notre enfant un nom légitime. » À cet instant, mon cœur s'est serré, et j'ai à peine pu respirer. Puis mon téléphone a sonné à nouveau. C'était un texto : « Bienvenue dans la famille Gallo, ma reine. » « Adressez simplement votre parole, et l'enfant que vous portez portera le nom de Gallo et deviendra l'héritier le plus puissant du monde souterrain américain. »

Catherina Hanshaw Dalton has spent six years believing she lived a fairytale, married to billionaire Xavier Dalton, cherished by him, and building a life rooted in devotion, even amid one heartbreak she cannot control: their inability to have a child. Though Xavier assures her she is enough, Catherine senses his quiet disappointment, a wound deepened by the venomous hostility of his mother, Lydia Dalton. Lydia never misses a chance to insult Catherine’s infertility, idolize Xavier’s sister Mia and her children, or imply Xavier married beneath his status. Catherine endures it all, clinging to the one constant comfort, Xavier always defends her. Or so she believes. This Christmas, however, Catherine’s dread of another humiliating Dalton family gathering turns into confusion. Lydia is gracious….kind, even. The manor is full of relatives, business partners, and esteemed guests, including Hunter Powell, Xavier’s ruthless business rival. The brief moment when Cathy’s eyes meet Hunter unsettles her, but nothing prepares her for Lydia’s “special Christmas gift.” During the toast, Lydia presents Caroline Turner…a beautiful young woman who is allegedly four months pregnant through surrogacy…with Xavier’s child.

Three days after giving birth, my husband leaves me alone at home to care for the baby, saying that he needs to leave on an urgent business trip. Three days later, I've just arrived at the hospital when I see a family photo his childhood sweetheart has shared on her social media. It's captioned, "This was taken during a trip. We're a happy family of three." I'm surprised to see my husband grinning in the photo and comment on it with a question mark. He immediately calls me to reprimand me. "Do you know how hard it is for her as a single mother? She doesn't have a man to care for her. All I did was take a photo with her. Do you have to be so petty?" That evening, his childhood sweetheart shares a photo of some monetary gifts. "He insisted on giving me this after taking the family photo." I know my husband gave that to her to pacify her. This time, however, I'm ready to leave him.

Being a Vampires pet is a fate no Human wants to endure… I was 6 years old when my parents were killed and I was taken to the pet store. A 6 year old cannot make choices for herself, so why am I punished for something my parents did? This question haunts me. Instead of playing outside with other kids, I was groomed and trained to obey my Master… I was to be the perfect pet. A maid, a sexual partner, a nurse, a blood bag… Anything my Master wanted, that was what I was expected to give. Obedience… That is what the Ringmaster prided herself on with her selection. She didn't get so lucky with me. Madame Vienna and I clashed hardcore. I learned quickly not to speak out of turn, but it didn't stop me from throwing a snarky remark here and there when I felt that I was healed enough to handle another punishment. This may be the only reason I lasted so long without being sold. But my time had come. I was on display for the world to see. Tattered and torn, but it didn't seem to matter to the man with the rose gold eyes who made the Vampires tremble without even saying a single word… What kind of creature was he to cause this type of reaction in an apex predator? I clenched my eyes shut as he brought me to the counter to check out. "Come, Ambrosia." The man purred after a moment. Shaking, I followed him, trying to take in any and every small detail of the outside world… "You can do this. Pretend it's just a bad dream… You know how to survive." I whispered to myself, as I followed my new Master to what was sure to be my death.

He immediately entered and then he said “Goblin is this like a hobby of yours or something” I looked at him as he spoke, I observed his perfectly shaped jaw line, his body was well built with each ab standing upright like strands of hair. His lips was well shaped with his eyes placed in positions you could loose yourself in, he was still talking and I didn’t pay any attention as I admired this well built creature. “I am talking to you Goblin, are you deaf or something? This obsession you have with me is getting out of hand, that you now peep at the window everyday trying to know if I’m getting it with another girl?” he smirked At that point my ability to speak was restored “Who gave you right to enter my room?” “Who said it was okay for you to crawl into my window?” “And who told you you’re so important that I’d waste my time spying on you?” “Get out of my room!” “Get out now” Although I did not want him to leave I had to send him out. Davis smiled and then he started coming close to me I tried moving back then he grabbed me and he said “You are not even my type Goblin” and then crawled out ************************************************************* Charity has lived her trying entire life being the perfect daughter, with the good girl attitude she tries to attain a benefiting future for herself.
