Aidan Blackwell, 35 ans, est l'homme que rien n'atteint. Milliardaire ténébreux, craint et admiré, il a bâti un empire sur le sang-froid et l'indifférence. Hanté par une tragédie passée, il a juré de ne jamais laisser l'amour l'atteindre, collectionnant les femmes comme des trophées, avec une seule règle d'or : ne jamais tomber amoureux. Éléa Morel, 23 ans, est l'exact opposé. Brillante, d'une beauté rare mais discrète, elle se bat chaque jour pour sa famille modeste, naviguant dans le monde impitoyable de l'Hôtel Impérial avec une dignité farouche. Elle ne recherche qu'un emploi stable, un moyen d'aider les siens. Leur monde n'aurait jamais dû se croiser. Pourtant, un simple échange de regards, une altercation fortuite au comptoir de la réception, va bouleverser la forteresse qu'Aidan a érigée autour de son cœur. Intrigué par cette jeune femme inattendue, il la convoque, lui offrant une proposition qui pourrait changer sa vie... et la sienne. Mais entre l'attraction brûlante et les sombres secrets du passé d'Aidan, entre la jalousie insidieuse des proches et les mensonges qui menacent de tout détruire, leur lien grandissant est une étincelle dans un baril de poudre. Quand l'interdit s'impose, la passion peut-elle triompher... ou les consumer à jamais ?

My chest is rising and falling rapidly while my body moves closer and closer to hers. "If he had forced himself anymore on you. Or had done anything to you, I would have lost it.

After catching her fiancé buried between her sister’s thighs, Maria ran. Straight into the arms of the last man she should’ve fallen for—his father. ~~~~ MARIA: The future I imagined went to shit the night before my wedding. Being betrayed by those closest to me nearly fucked me up, leaving me broken and in need of an escape. When I fled, I did it with zero plans—nothing but rage in my heart and my suitcase in hand. But then fate threw me into Declan: older, dangerously compelling, but also equally scarred. He took me in when I was stranded—no questions asked. It was the last thing I expected, but he continued to care for me, keep me safe and... warm me up. In more ways than one. As days pass, ignoring the heat, chemistry, and.. persistent feelings between us becomes... tough. I feel his eyes on me all the time, and my heart rate triples without permission whenever I bump into him in the house. He clearly wants me. I want him too, but I can't allow it to happen. Because he's the father of the man I now despise the most in the world. DECLAN: I took her in because I wanted to help. Who am I kidding, it's more than that. I couldn't help myself. From the moment I laid eyes on her, she had my heart in a choke hold. And as the days went by, resisting her became the sweetest torture. It became like hell to keep my hands to myself, or my mind from imagining obscene things whenever I see her. But we’re not free to give into this. She’s only 23, and I’m... nearly twice her age. And what's worse, I'm the father of the man who broke her heart.

Then you are wrong." "Of course, I could, and I would right now. Picked up all the papers on the floor and resumed reading the files." He commanded and settled back on his seat. "You cannot order me because I'm not your employee anymore." I resumed walking to the door, but the two bodyguards brought me back in front of him despite my screaming in protest. "Alex!!. "File the case against Miss Athena for assault." "Yes, Sir.". "You can't do that," "Of course, I could." Go, send me to prison. You asshole, bastard, animal, coldhearted, devil!!! Fuck you!!! "Do you have any family, Miss Athena?" Alex finds her family and makes sure... "I'll do it!!! I screamed in frustration. I crawled onto the floor and picked up all the folders and papers on the floor. "Now, resume where we stop." I hate him so much. *** Zachary Anderson, 23 years old.
