Much Ado About Nothing

After reuniting with my birth family, my wealthy biological father tossed me a black card and laid down one rule: I could spend as much as I wanted, but I was never to call him Dad—that title belonged only to his adoptive daughter. Clutching the black card, I cautiously bought myself a two-dollar-fifty ice cream cone. Just as I was happily licking the sweet ice cream, the adoptive daughter dropped to her knees before me. "Alice, are you mocking me because I can't even afford something that costs two-fifty in the future?" My brother immediately slapped me twice. "You have money now, but you can't split love. Natalie is my one and only sister!" Then my father splashed boiling water onto my face. "No disgraceful wretch deserves to be a Gervais." To punish me, they sent me off to Rimala, forced to work as a child laborer in the mines. Ten years later, I walked into a grand banquet hall with an ice cream in hand and came face-to-face with my brother, Ansel Gervais, dressed in a hand-tailored suit. "All these years and you're still a disgrace," he sneered, but I couldn't be bothered to argue. "Let go. My dad's waiting for me—and if I'm any later, the ice cream's going to melt." He looked down at me with contempt. "Dad? Who gave you permission to call him that? Natalie will forever be the only Gervais girl—no one can take that away from her!" I rolled my eyes. Who said I was talking about that cheap excuse for a father? I was talking about my adoptive father—the oil tycoon with an incurable sweet tooth. I was in a hurry to let him taste some ice cream.

"I need you to stay here, spy on Leonardo. Feed me information on his every move." "A spy?" I repeated. "Yes," he said. "We'll use your proximity to our advantage. You'll be my eyes and ears inside the estate.” “Agreed.” Genna , a vulnerable witness to her brother's brutal murder, is sold into slavery to the notorious Sorrento family—the same clan that killed her brother. Their lives become linked when Genna meets Leonardo Sorrento, the family's enigmatic Mafia Lord. However, Marco, Leonardo's vicious twin brother, manipulates Genna and ensnares her in a web of deceit. Torn between revenge and love, Genna must face the dark legacy of the Sorrento family and her own destiny. As she makes her way through this dangerous terrain, her love for Leonardo ignites a passion that threatens to consume them. But will their love withstand the secrets, lies, and the mafia's deadly grasp, or will Genna 's quest for justice and redemption tear them apart? Will the memories of Genna 's past destroy their chance for happiness, or will their love serve as a ray of hope in the shadows?

Moans echoed back and forth inside one of the rooms of a five star hotel in Stockholm, Sweden. The young woman could not hold herself back from crying out as a tall, powerfully built man above her moved relentlessly, his muscular body driving into hers. Their bodies were slick with sweat, the act of two people joining fueled by raw desire. “Damn it, you’re so tight and incredible, Lexi. You always satisfy me, you always bring me perfectly to my climax,” Austin said, struggling to catch his breath after release. Alexi turned onto her side, her hand tracing every inch of Austin Stanley’s damp skin, the man who had just made love to her. “You know this is wrong, don’t you, Austin? What we have isn’t right. Why do you trap me in a labyrinth that makes me lose my way?” “If you’re lost, call only me. I’m the only one you should ever call, Alexi Mauren. Only me, Austin Stanley, can guide you. Do you understand?” Austin leaned in, capturing her thin lips. “Listen to me. As long as I’m by your side, I’ll make sure your world stays safe.” Alexi wavered. Being entangled in a forbidden relationship with someone she should never have had was something that could never truly last. What if the world discovered their illicit affair? Would it still show her kindness? Or would the world turn its back on her completely?

Damien et son ex-femme ont divorcé il y a cinq ans, puis il m'a épousée. Quand je l'ai épousé, il avait déjà une fille adoptive de treize ans, Lily. Après notre mariage, Damien me traitait exceptionnellement bien et je traitais toujours Lily comme ma propre fille, même quand elle montrait occasionnellement de l'hostilité envers moi. C'était normal pour une adolescente. Un jour, mon père a été accidentellement renversé par une voiture et plongé dans un état végétatif. J'ai accidentellement surpris une conversation entre Damien et son assistant. « Patron, je ne comprends pas. Pourquoi refuser la craniectomie ? Les médecins disent qu'il y a de grandes chances qu'il se rétablisse. » « Il ne peut pas se réveiller », la voix de Damien était étouffée par la douleur. « Il a vu le visage de Lily. » Je me suis couverte la bouche, mes ongles s'enfonçant profondément dans ma chair. Lily est la fille adoptive de Damien et de sa défunte ex-femme, Sarah. Sarah est morte en sauvant Damien, donc il traitait toujours Lily avec un mélange de culpabilité et d'indulgence. Damien a continué, la voix teintée de contradiction. « Mais Lily ne l'a pas fait exprès ! Elle a seulement treize ans... Si elle a un casier judiciaire, sa vie est finie. La seule dernière volonté de Sarah était que je prenne soin de Lily et que je la voie grandir saine et sauve. Je ne peux pas l'abandonner. » Son assistant est resté silencieux quelques secondes. « Et votre femme ? » « Je me rattraperai », la voix de Damien s'est adoucie. « Je lui offrirai la vie la plus confortable, et je garantirai la plus grande chambre privée ainsi que les meilleurs soignants pour son père victime de l'accident de voiture. Je me fiche du prix. » Mon cœur s'est serré. Parce que tu te sentais coupable envers Sarah et Lily, tu voulais sacrifier mon père ? Les mains tremblantes, j'ai sauvegardé l'enregistrement et j'ai demandé à mon avocat de préparer les papiers du divorce. Mais quand j'ai disparu, le PDG, si puissant, est devenu fou.
