Melissa Gordner

Melissa Jones was rapidly turning into a lady, her womanly features were as pronounced and a sharp cheekbone. One week to her eighteenth birthday,her transformation day,her father broke the news of marrying her off to a powerful alpha from another clan. In a bid to avoid getting married,she runs away and runs into the clan of an egocentric alpha,a ruthless alpha and a very attractive one at that. Sensing danger,she tried to leave but he gave her a condition. Either she stays at his clan as a watch nanny over an ancient beast that has been their hostage for over a long period of time and gets her freedom within a month or she remains in his clan as a captive forever. Angry and ready to tear him down,she speaks harshly to him and he lets her go away. She returns home only to get the news that her suitor would be arriving the next day. What happens when she finds out her suitor is no other person than the alpha she spoke rudely to? What happens when the alpha keeps it in mind to bully and teach his sharp mouthed wife a lesson.

"I hate you! You are not our mother!" Melissa staggered back, bewildered. " Did... Did you hear him?" She gasped, pointing at their youngest child. Jaden smirked, his head tilting to the side. "Of course, he isn't wrong anyway." She sacrificed everything for him and moved from being the wealthy, respected heiress to a neglected wife of a bankrupt man. Despite Jaden's poor background and past marriage, Melissa stayed with him and his children and helped him build his business back to its feet to the point of raising it to be recognized as her family's rival company. She thought the roses would finally be given to her, she thought Jaden Oscar would love her more than he did when they had nothing, but reality crushed her hopes. Just a few years after her husband's success, he returned home with another woman, whom he claimed to be the children's mother. Melissa was left with nothing, no children, no man to reciprocate her love, no family. Standing alone under the rain with her eyes fixed on a house once called her home, Melissa swore to take revenge on everyone who had hurt her, most especially, her dear husband, Jaden Oscar.

The things I want to do to you…” his voice dropped, rough and low. I smiled, daring him. “Do it. I dare you, Daddy.” A flicker of danger crossed his eyes. “Vieni qui, amore mio.” Come here, my love. And just like that, I forgot every reason I was supposed to stay away. — One desperate kiss to prove I was over my ex changed everything. Melissa Spenser never imagined the stranger she kissed with ice-blue eyes would be Ben Gavin…the billionaire hockey captain and manager of the current leading hockey club in the world and also her mother’s fiancé. When financial ruin forces her and her mother into his penthouse, she swears she can resist him. She’s lying. Every stolen glance becomes a silent promise. Every forbidden touch ignites a fire she can’t extinguish. And things only get worse when his dangerously charming son vows to claim her too. But beneath the penthouse walls lies a web of secrets darker than Melissa could ever imagine…secrets that could shatter her family, destroy her future, and expose the truth about her father’s death.

Synopsis (Version Française) « Je te déteste ! Tu n’es pas notre mère ! » Melissa recula, bouleversée. « Tu… tu l’as entendu ? » souffla-t-elle, pointant du doigt leur plus jeune enfant. Jaden esquissa un sourire en coin, la tête légèrement inclinée. « Bien sûr. Il n’a pas tort, de toute façon. » Elle avait tout sacrifié pour lui — passant du statut d’héritière riche et respectée à celui d’épouse négligée d’un homme ruiné. Malgré le passé difficile de Jaden et son précédent mariage, Melissa était restée à ses côtés, élevant ses enfants et aidant à reconstruire son entreprise jusqu’à en faire un empire rival de celui de sa propre famille. Elle pensait enfin recevoir les roses qu’elle méritait. Elle croyait que Jaden Oscar l’aimerait davantage maintenant qu’ils avaient tout. Mais la réalité brisa ses espoirs. Quelques années à peine après leur réussite, Jaden rentra à la maison avec une autre femme… qu’il présenta comme la véritable mère de ses enfants. Melissa se retrouva seule — sans mari, sans enfants, sans famille. Sous la pluie battante, fixant la maison qu’elle appelait autrefois la sienne, elle fit un vœu solennel : se venger de tous ceux qui l’avaient trahie, et plus que tout, de son cher mari, Jaden Oscar. --- ️ Note de l’auteure > Cette œuvre est ma propre création.
