Payback Ch 9

À toi, jusqu’à l’ombre Élisa pensait connaître l’amour. Elle se trompait. Quand elle rencontre Adrien lors d’une soirée pluvieuse à Paris, c’est une évidence brutale. Un regard. Un frisson. Une promesse silencieuse. Adrien n’est pas un homme ordinaire : charismatique, mystérieux, troublant… Il aime avec excès, sans limite, sans mesure. Très vite, leur passion devient un incendie. Les nuits sont fiévreuses, les mots brûlants, les corps incapables de se quitter. Adrien veut tout d’Élisa : ses pensées, son temps, ses rêves. Il la protège, la chérit… mais l’enferme peu à peu dans une bulle où il est le centre de tout. Élisa oscille entre vertige et dépendance. Est-ce encore de l’amour quand il devient besoin vital ? Quand la jalousie se transforme en surveillance ? Quand la passion dévore jusqu’à l’identité ? Entre désir et emprise, tendresse et obsession, leur histoire flirte avec la frontière dangereuse où l’amour ne sauve plus… il consume. Parce que parfois, aimer trop fort, c’est aimer jusqu’à se perdre.

Durante o plantão noturno, recusei o pedido de aplicar soro no paciente que minha irmã de criação cuidava. Vi, com meus próprios olhos, um menino de sete anos morrer devido a uma reação alérgica causada pela medicação errada. Na vida passada, mal tinha terminado de aplicar o soro, quando familiares furiosos invadiram o posto de enfermagem e me espancaram até meu rosto ficar irreconhecível. Mas o soro era apenas glicose, não havia razão para acontecer algo assim. Com a consciência turva, ouvi alguém chamar a polícia. Achei que, finalmente, a salvação havia chegado. Jamais imaginei que seria meu próprio irmão, policial, quem me jogaria no chão. Meu amigo de infância, agora médico legista, apresentou o laudo da autópsia e me incriminou. Sem ter como me defender, acabei sendo espancada até a morte pelos familiares do menino, tomados pela fúria. Até o último suspiro, não entendi por que meu irmão querido e o amigo de infância agiram assim comigo. Quando abri os olhos novamente, estava de volta àquela noite.

She made him powerful. He threw her away. Now it's payback time. Emelda Jones left behind her rich family and comfortable life to help the man she loved succeed. Allen Carter had nothing when they met, but Emelda believed in him. She worked hard behind the scenes while he got all the fame and glory. He kept promising they'd build something amazing together.

Now Emelda has everything she needs—money, connections, and a burning need to get even. She's about to show Allen Carter exactly what happens when you mess with the wrong woman. Without her, he's nothing, and she's going to prove it. Ready to see Emelda get her revenge? Start reading now and watch her take down the man who thought he could use her and throw her away!

On our tenth wedding anniversary, I was trapped in a cabin with my daughter, Sofia Costello, as floodwaters raged outside. With shaking hands, I used the emergency satellite phone to call my mafia husband, Henson Costello, and begged for help. I dialed more than 90 times before the call finally went through, yet all I heard was the breathy moans of his first love, Angelina Rossi, on the other end. "Henson...slower..." Before I could even process the shock of his betrayal, I heard a conversation that sent me straight into hell. "That kid was dead weight anyway. Trading him for control of Pier 9 was the best deal the family ever made." It seemed that Leo Costello, my son, who had supposedly drowned at the beach five years ago, had not died in an accident after all. Henson had used him as part of a business deal. All this time, I had been drowning in guilt for taking him to that beach, blaming myself for the tragedy. I never knew the truth was this cruel. Tears streamed down my face as my body shook uncontrollably. After ten years of marriage, I finally realized I had never truly known the man I loved and sacrificed everything for. I picked up my phone again and dialed Vincenzo Moretti's number. "Vince, I'll marry you. But you have to help me destroy the Costello family from power." After a brief silence, his voice came through the line. "Aurelia Astor, I've been waiting ten years to hear you say that."

Un soir de plus, mon mari n'est pas rentré pour le dîner pourtant c'était notre troisième anniversaire de mariage.

Mon père vient de me léguer tout son empire. il est le chef de la mafia orchidée, la plus grande et la plus puissante organisation du pays qui influence toutes les sphères du pouvoir.

« Mademoiselle Elara, ceci confirme l'accord concernant votre mort mise en scène. Dans deux semaines, lors de la cérémonie de couronnement de Luna, votre décès sera simulé. Vous tomberez dans les rapides, et la cause officielle sera un empoisonnement à l'aconit. » Lorsque mon compagnon Alpha, Aiden, m'a abandonnée une fois de plus pour des affaires urgentes de la meute, j'ai trouvé un renégat sur le marché noir et j'ai signé l'accord de mort simulée sans la moindre hésitation. Le monde entier des loups-garous croyait qu'Alpha Aiden était follement amoureux de moi. Il jouait parfaitement son rôle, n'oubliant jamais d'embrasser mon front chaque fois qu'il partait. Mais moi seule savais que, la trente-neuvième fois où il m'avait embrassée, il avait aussi passé la nuit, ivre et perdu dans une brume alcoolisée, avec ce mannequin oméga, Cassia. Mais tout cela n'avait plus aucune importance désormais. Alpha souillé, j'en avais fini avec lui. Lors du couronnement qu'il chérissait plus que tout, je m'assurerais qu'il reçoive le cadavre le plus parfait qui soit.
