Quotes About Being Unique

Once I became pregnant, I was hailed as the most precious woman in the underworld. My husband, the new Don of the Jenkins family, shut down an entire private hospital wing for my check-ups, while my father, the Collins Don, summoned every Michelin-starred chef in New York to the estate, just so I could pick whatever I craved. The baby I carried was destined to be the sole heir of the two most powerful mafia families. But on the day we were to sign the papers securing my child's inheritance, they both vanished. "An urgent family matter came up," my husband, Vincent, said, kissing my forehead. "We can finalize the child's inheritance when we get back. There's no rush." Shortly after they left, I received a link to an anonymous live stream. My father's voice came from the video, colder than I had ever heard it. "You're saying your marriage contract with Evangeline was never valid. Doesn't that make the child a bastard?" Vincent, lounging in a club, blew a smoke ring. Cradled in his arms was my half sister, Sarah. "Evangeline has always had all the love and affection. Her child will want for nothing." "Sarah has been mocked for her status for years. I have to make things right for her, give our child a legitimate name." In that moment, my heart seized, and I could barely breathe. Then my phone vibrated again. It was a text message: "Welcome home to the Gallo family, my queen." "Just give the word, and the child you carry will bear the Gallo name and become the most powerful heir in the American underworld."

I've been dating the country's most eligible bachelor for two years. My base salary is $2 million, with bonuses based on performance. Holding hands costs $10,000, putting an arm around his waist is $20,000, and a kiss on the lips is a bit pricier at $50,000. As for certain bedroom activities, well, those come with a whole different price tag. Brad is fair-skinned and handsome, appearing only once a month – he's practically a walking Tiffany's diamond. Life is so sweet, it's easy to get complacent if you're not careful. One night, a DM popped up on Instagram from a stranger. "If you trust me, check your boyfriend's phone." "?" "I'm his girlfriend." "Am I the third party or are you the third party?" "You're third, I'm fourth." "Let's meet and talk details."

My husband, Theodore, was about to take his childhood sweetheart, Rosalie, around the world in a hot-air balloon when I was kidnapped by his enemy. They were about to throw me into a snake pit. I gave up asking Theodore for help and called my father-in-law instead. In my previous life, I begged Theodore to save me, even kneeling in front of the phone camera. Hence, he abandoned the hot-air balloon ride with Rosalie and rushed to negotiate with the kidnapper. Rosalie was all alone and angry. She took another hot-air balloon, but it exploded mid-way, causing her to die on the spot without even leaving behind an intact corpse. Hearing the bad news, Theodore showed a rare calm expression. He seemed to forget about Rosalie's existence and took me on a trip around the world. As we were sailing in Norwol, he suddenly pushed me into the sea. "I should never have saved you. Snake pit? Kidnapper? How could they have had the courage to push you into it? I should've never saved you if I knew it'd kill Rosalie. You should go to hell sooner!" When I opened my eyes again, I had come back to the day I was kidnapped. This time, I chose not to call for help. Humble love would only leave you bruised and battered.

It was about time because my dad got a new girlfriend and said he wanted us to have a meal together to introduce the new woman into our lives. On the day we met, my college roommate saw my chat background, which had a photo of me and my dad, along with a series of transfer records. She lost her mind. She enlisted the support of our other roommates, who rarely paid me any attention and began to attack me, insisting that I was a side chick who deserved to die. I did not expect that my roommate would soon become my stepmom. Before I could explain, she accused me of trying to seduce my dad behind her back, shouting, "Shameless side chick! Going behind my back to seduce my boyfriend! All those times you said you were out studying?! Who knows if you were just meeting up with him?" I was once physically assaulted, stripped of my dignity, and forced to the restaurant for a public confrontation wearing ragged clothes. Then my dad came running to where I was hardly breathing and barely moving on the floor, bruised to the extreme. “Sweetheart, who did this to you?!”

“I’ve been in hell for years, Bella. Trying to forget. Trying to do the right thing. Trying to be the man Victor thinks I am.” I stood up, closing the distance between us. “What if the right thing is being honest about what we both want?” He reached out, cupping my face with one large hand, his thumb stroking my cheekbone. The touch was gentle, completely at odds with the hunger in his eyes. “If I kiss you now,” he said hoarsely, “I won’t stop. I won’t be gentle. And I won’t be able to pretend anymore that you’re just Victor’s daughter.” “Good, I don’t want you to.” I leaned into his touch, my own hand coming up to cover his. “I don’t want you to pretend.”

"You may be a monster, but you can't make me do anything, so quit acting like you own me." She said to him pretending he had no effect on her. "Do you need another spanking? Shall I bend you over again and remind you who you belong to as I find the most erogenous zones on your body even you didn't know existed. Shall I remind you whose name you'll scream as you come, if I let you come?" He said, the fiery passion in his eyes betraying his calm voice.

But now he was back. And ready to take back all that was rightfully his including that beautiful Davina, even though she'd rather murder him than admit any feelings for him.

Mon amour, Éric Valmont. Il m'aimait à la folie. Tout le monde disait qu'il était le mari idéal. Mais il m'a trahie. Trois fois. La première fois, c'était il y a trois ans. Son ami, Lucien Caron, est mort en le sauvant. Éric m'a caché qu'il avait épousé Margaux Lefèvre, la fiancée de Lucien, pour « la protéger ». Le jour où je l'ai découvert, j'ai voulu partir. Mais il a fait partir Margaux à l'étranger dans la nuit et s'est agenouillé devant moi, suppliant : « Claire, Lucien est mort à cause de moi… Je dois prendre soin de sa fiancée. Ce mariage n'est qu'une protection pour elle, rien de plus. Dès que j'aurai vengé Lucien, je divorcerai. Je t'aime, toi, et seulement toi. » Cette fois-là, je l'ai pardonné. Un an plus tard, lors d'une conférence de presse, Éric a publiquement présenté Margaux comme « l'épouse du chef ». Il m'a encore expliqué : « Margaux est la fille unique de la famille Lefèvre, puissante dans le milieu. Notre alliance n'a qu'un but : venger Lucien. Nous avons déjà convenu qu'après, je divorcerai… et je t'épouserai aussitôt. » Et, encore une fois, je l'ai cru. Puis, il y a un an, lors d'un gala, on lui a tendu un piège. Drogué, il a passé la nuit avec Margaux. Il a tout caché… jusqu'à ce que, quinze jours plus tôt, je le surprenne à l'hôpital, accompagnant Margaux à une échographie. Quand j'ai compris, il a baissé les yeux, incapable de me regarder, et a murmuré : « Claire… ce n'était qu'un accident. Quand l'enfant naîtra, je l'enverrai loin. Mes parents s'en occuperont. Jamais ni elle ni l'enfant ne croiseront ta route. » Sous couvert d'amour, Éric m'a poussée, pas à pas, à tout accepter. Mais aujourd'hui, je le sais : il n'y aura plus jamais de « nous ». Il est temps pour moi de partir.

Mon petit ami Jacques m'avait promis une grande cérémonie de marquage pour mes 20 ans. Pourtant, le jour de mon anniversaire, c'est devant tout le monde qu'il a solennellement demandé à ma demi-sœur Lydia de devenir son âme sœur. Sous les acclamations générales, je suis restée là, telle une pitre abandonnée, le cœur brisé. Alors que la douleur de la trahison m'engloutissait, Samuel, l'héritier Alpha de la Meute du Fantôme Noir, a surgi pour déclarer sa flamme : « Annie, je t'aime en secret depuis longtemps. Deviens ma Luna, veux-tu ? » Je l'ai accepté, et pendant cinq ans de mariage, il m'a chérie, gâtée, se souvenant de chacun de mes goûts. Jusqu'au jour où j'ai surpris sa conversation avec un Bêta et mon bonheur s'est brisé : « Samuel, Lydia est enfin devenue la Luna de le Meute de Rose Blanche. Vas-tu continuer à jouer un mari modèle devant Annie ? » « Puisque je ne peux avoir Lydia, peu importe qui partage ma vie. Au moins, comme ça, Annie ne viendra pas gâcher son bonheur. » Dans le coffre de son bureau, il conservait précieusement chaque cadeau de Lydia : pendentifs en crocs de loup, lettres marquées de ses empreintes... Même sur sa précieuse armure d'écailles, chaque plaque portait gravé le nom de Lydia. « Lydia, mon unique amour. Mes griffes trancheront tous les obstacles pour ton bonheur. » « Je t'offrirai mon cœur de loup battant, si tu le désires. » « Je te volerais même la lune, s'il le fallait ! » Ce que je croyais être cinq années de mariage heureux n'étaient qu'un mirage, et une fois la vérité révélée, tout s'est dissipé comme une brume. J'ai demandé à quitter la meute. Et dans deux jours, j'aurais disparu de la vie de Samuel pour toujours...
