Wendy Lloyd's first love, Hudson Clark, treats me like a walking blood bank. Because of that, I end up dying in the rented apartment Wendy has given to me out of contemptuous pity. Today is the third day of my death. My six-year-old son, Terry Heath, finally realizes that something is wrong with me. When he accidentally cuts his finger from playing with his toys, I don't coax him at all. When he tears open a pack of cookies and feeds one to me, I don't stop him at all. When he lies in my arms and grips me by the hem of my shirt while calling out to me softly, I don't respond to him at all. Feeling rather uneasy, Terry finds my phone and calls Wendy. "Mommy, why is Daddy still asleep?" Wendy responds by sending a photo of her and Hudson enjoying a holiday feast together. She then says coldly, "He's just asleep, not dead. Today is Christmas Eve, so I'm very busy right now. "Tell that arrogant father of yours that he's only free to visit me whenever he's ready to acknowledge his mistakes." After that, the call ends. Terry is left feeling stunned for a long time. Finally, he digs out the last cookie from the trash can and snaps it in half. Then, he feeds it to me again. "Daddy, let's eat."

— „Zieh etwas an, das ich dir leicht ausziehen kann. Man weiß ja nie.“ Die Nachricht lässt mir die Hitze ins Gesicht steigen. Mit zitternden Fingern tippe ich meine Antwort: „Mal sehen.“ Alles begann mit einem Geruch. Rosmarin, brutzelnde Butter und etwas Süßes, das durch mein Fenster in diese neue Pariser Wohnung drang. Ich hatte gerade Thomas verlassen, ein Kapitel nach vier lauwarmen, behaglichen Jahren geschlossen. Ich suchte einen Neuanfang. Ich hätte nicht erwartet, die Besessenheit zu finden. Matthieu Beaumont. Drei-Sterne-Koch. Schön wie eine Sünde. Intensiv wie ein Brand. Unsere Geschichte begann mit einer geteilten Mahlzeit und einem Blick durch einen Innenhof. Sie explodierte in einer alles verschlingenden Leidenschaft, die mich schneller verzehrte, als ich es für möglich gehalten hätte. — „Schmeck das“, flüstert er und hält mir eine Gabel hin, seine dunklen Augen weichen nicht von meinen. „Und schließ dabei die Augen.“ Das Stöhnen, das mir entgleitet, lässt ihn dieses raubtierhafte Lächeln zeigen, das mir Angst machen sollte – stattdessen aber ein Feuer in meinem Unterleib entfacht. — „Dieser Laut“, sagt er mit heiserer Stimme. „Den will ich dir immer wieder entlocken. Aber nicht wegen Essen.“ Drei Tage. Ich brauchte drei Tage, um mich in einen Mann zu verlieben, den ich kaum kannte. Und dann zerbrach alles. Eine manipulative Ex namens Anaïs. Ein Verrat in einem Büro. Ein Geheimnis, das uns beinahe zerstört hätte. Ich hätte gehen sollen. Fliehen vor diesem Mann, der mir das Herz gebrochen hatte. Aber die Liebe folgt keiner Vernunft. Sie ist unordentlich, kompliziert, unvollkommen. Ich entschied mich zu bleiben. Zu kämpfen. Unsere Geschichte Stück für Stück wieder aufzubauen. Es ist die Geschichte eines Kochs, der kocht, wie er liebt: mit einer Intensität, die dich keuchend zurücklässt und nach mehr verlangen. Das ist unsere Geschichte. Unverblümt. Ehrlich. Gewürzt.

Ich hieß Alaya, und ich war nichts weiter als ein Mädchen wie viele andere, geboren in den Gassen eines Viertels, in dem die Armut dich von Geburt an vergiftet. Meine Mutter war krank. Sie hatte nur mich … und ihre Schulden. An jenem Abend kamen sie. Sie klopften an die Tür. Drei Männer in Schwarz. Kein Wort. Nur ein Umschlag … und ein eiskalter Satz: — »Du bist doch noch Jungfrau, oder? Der Chef zahlt teuer dafür.« Ich hatte keine Wahl. Er hieß Santino Ricci. Kalt. Magnetisch. Gefährlich. Das Oberhaupt einer der mächtigsten Mafiafamilien Italiens. Er sah mich an, wie man eine kostbare Ware ansieht. Dann sagte er: — »Du wirst meine Frau. Egal, was du fühlst.« Und ich unterschrieb mein Urteil. Diese Hochzeit war keine Verbindung … sondern ein goldener Käfig. Ich lernte, inmitten von Schlangen zu überleben. Ich sah Tote. Ich sah Blut. Ich hörte die Schreie von Mädchen, die, genau wie ich, verkauft worden waren. Aber was sie nicht bedacht hatten … war, dass die kleine, zerbrochene Jungfrau am Ende zurückbeißen würde.

My sister has awakened her mermaid bloodline, but it is incomplete. Her skin is her curse. A single touch, too hard, and it cracks. For her, everything hard in our house has been thrown away. I love to dance, but the hard tips of ballet shoes are forbidden. I love music, but the strings of a guitar or the keys of a piano are too dangerous. Every dream I've ever had has been strangled in its cradle because of my sister's condition. My brother, Liam, who raised us both, always looks at me with tired, pleading eyes. "Elara is fragile, Isla. You have to be understanding." But I was only eighteen the first time I truly understood. I came home from my high school graduation ceremony, the scent of sunshine and excitement still on my clothes. The moment I stepped inside, Elara's hand connected with my cheek. Hard. For no reason at all. Everyone rushed to her. Liam pointed a furious finger at me. "Look what you've done! You've hurt her hand! How could you be so careless?" He shoved me aside and rushed out with Elara to find a doctor. I fell back against the glass coffee table, the impact jarring. And then, a strange, cold pain bloomed across my back. I felt my skin... tear. It was then I remembered the doctor's words from my last check-up: "You carry the Siren's Gene, Isla. It could manifest at any time." As my vision blurred, my own blood pooling on the pristine white floor, I finally understood. The curse wasn't just my sister's. It was mine, too.
