Military Sci Fi

À trente-quatre ans, Marc porte un secret qui ronge son orgueil : son impuissance. Malgré les rendez-vous chez les spécialistes, les traitements, les thérapies, rien n’a jamais fonctionné. Chaque échec laisse derrière lui une blessure plus profonde, un poids qu’il dissimule derrière son regard dur et sa réussite professionnelle. Jusqu’à cette nuit-là. Poussé par une insatiable envie de changement, il se laisse entraîner dans un club obscur, un monde qu’il pensait ignorer. C’est là qu’il rencontre Lola, une femme mystérieuse et bouleversante, dont la fragilité dissimule une force insoupçonnée. Droguée pour la faire passer pour une simple prostituée, elle est pourtant vierge, inconnue de ce milieu sordide. Et sans le savoir, elle devient la seule capable de réveiller enfin le désir enfoui de Marc, faisant vibrer son corps et son âme d’une manière qu’il croyait impossible. Mais au petit matin, Lola disparaît. Marc se retrouve seul, désemparé, hanté par cette unique nuit où tout a semblé possible. Il enchaîne les rencontres, les rendez-vous, les essais mais aucun ne ravive cette étincelle, aucun ne parvient à dénouer le nœud de sa frustration. Des mois s’égrènent, marqués par des nuits blanches et des espoirs déçus, jusqu’à ce jour où le destin frappe à sa porte : il découvre le visage de Lola sur le dossier d’une candidate à un poste clé dans son entreprise. Un sourire mêlé de soulagement et de défi se dessine sur ses lèvres. Cette fois, elle ne lui échappera pas. Cette fois, il prendra le contrôle.

Une menteuse incontrôlable face à un PDG glacial Léna a un don : elle ment comme elle respire. Pas par méchanceté, juste parce que la vérité est souvent… ennuyeuse. Embellir son CV, inventer des expériences incroyables, se faire passer pour quelqu’un d’autre ? Un jeu d’enfant. Mais quand son dernier mensonge la propulse dans une multinationale dirigée par Adrian Blackwood, l’homme le plus redouté du monde des affaires, elle réalise qu’elle a peut-être joué un peu trop gros. Un PDG qui ne tolère pas l’erreur Adrian Blackwood est un homme de principes. La rigueur, l’efficacité, la vérité. Il ne laisse aucune place au hasard ni aux erreurs humaines. Alors, quand il découvre que sa nouvelle assistante a un CV plus bidon qu’un billet de monopoly, il devrait la virer sur-le-champ. Mais quelque chose chez elle l’intrigue. Sa confiance insolente, sa façon de se sortir de chaque situation par une pirouette verbale… et surtout, le défi qu’elle représente. Un marché impossible Plutôt que de la mettre à la porte, Adrian lui propose un marché : un mois d’essai, à une seule condition. Pas un seul mensonge. Un écart et elle est dehors. Léna accepte… puis réalise qu’elle vient de se condamner elle-même. Dire la vérité ? Elle n’a jamais su faire. Surtout pas face à un patron qui semble capable de lire dans ses pensées et qui, malgré son air glacial, commence dangereusement à lui plaire. Entre tensions et mensonges Quand la vérité éclatera, qui sortira vainqueur ?

The first thing I did after rebirth was follow my husband, Franklin Wallace, to the island for his military deployment. In my previous life, as a spoiled rich heiress from a wealthy family, I looked down on Franklin, the commander my family had arranged for me to marry. We fought constantly, huge arguments every few days, small quarrels in between. After having children, I grew to resent our two kids simply because they carried Franklin's blood. Later, when Franklin was ordered to be stationed on the island, I was the first to stand up and object to going with him. Since I opposed it, Franklin did not force me. He took our two kids and his widowed sister-in-law, Elsie Faulkner, to the island instead. Meanwhile, my spoiled and rebellious self could not wait to throw myself into the arms of my first love, Reuben Sandoval, once Franklin left. However, it did not take long before I discovered Reuben was nothing but a gold-digging scumbag who only wanted my money and body. He gave me an STI and drained my family fortune completely. When Franklin returned from the island with our children, they no longer recognized me as their mother and affectionately called Elsie "Mommy" instead. He even told me he had fallen in love with Elsie during their time together on the island. Eventually, I ended up homeless on the streets and starved to death. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Franklin was about to leave for his island deployment.

Les murs suintent l’humidité et l’odeur de lessive bon marché. Ici, les journées se ressemblent, rythmées par les hurlements des gardiens et les murmures des détenues. Mais depuis son arrivée, Léo est une anomalie dans ce monde de femmes. Lui, le seul homme dans cet univers carcéral féminin, détonne. Trop sûr de lui. Trop calme. Trop… fascinant.

Ce soir, dans la cour, l’atmosphère est électrique. Mira, assise sur un banc, le fixe, mâchoire serrée. Depuis qu’il a posé les yeux sur Sasha, une brune au regard brûlant, la tension monte. Ici, l’amour et la passion sont des feux de paille qui enflamment tout sur leur passage. Et Mira n’aime pas partager. Léo le sait. Mais il ne recule pas. — Tu te prends pour qui ? crache Mira en s’approchant, son gang derrière elle. Il se lève lentement, un sourire au coin des lèvres. Il n’a pas peur. Il a connu pire. — Je prends ce que je veux, répond-il, voix posée. Sasha, à quelques pas, le regarde, fascinée. Il la veut, et elle le sait. Mira ne supporte pas ce défi silencieux. Son poing part, rapide, furieux. Léo l’évite de justesse et riposte. L’impact claque, Mira titube, mais ne lâche pas l’affaire. Elle revient à la charge, et bientôt, la bagarre éclate sous les cris des détenues qui encerclent la scène.
