Rain Short Story

During the ten years since I was found and brought to my biological family, Sonia Baxter, the girl who took my place, and I have been as close as real sisters. Even Mom says that Sonia cares more about me than a real sister would. I once swore I'd give my life to protect our special family of four. When Sonia is rushed into emergency surgery with a ruptured cerebral aneurysm, I am in my office, calmly practicing a basic suturing technique on a surgical simulator. On the screen, the robotic arm threads the needle with such precision that it looks like a work of art. A few minutes later, my boyfriend, Oliver Lyons, slams open the office door and shouts at me, "Amelia Baxter! Sonia's in critical condition. Only your micro-dissection skills can save her! Every expert in the hospital is waiting for you! We've got less than an hour before the window closes!" He looks at me with hopeful eyes. I'm the only person in the country capable of performing a surgery this complex. My hands are even known as the "Hands of God". However, I simply reply with a hum and continue fiddling with the model. Suddenly, my parents rush in. Mom grabs my arm and cries out, "Amelia! That's your sister in there! How could you just stand by and watch her die?" I gently pull away from her and hold my right hand out in front of them. This hand, which had once created countless medical miracles, is now trembling slightly. "Unfortunately, since yesterday, I've been showing symptoms of essential tremor. Dad, Mom… this hand is ruined."

Mon père était le Don de la famille Moretti, le parrain qui régnait sur tout l'empire mafieux. Ma mère était à la tête de la famille Carter et présidente de la société multinationale Carter. Ils m'avaient choisi deux fiancés. Le premier, c'était Damian, le PDG mondialement renommé de la société Agis. Le second, c'était Caesar, un homme redoutable qui contrôlait tout le trafic d'armes du milieu. Le jour du banquet de mes vingt ans, celui que je choisirais d'épouser deviendrait le parrain régnant sur tout l'empire mafieux. Tout le monde avait été sous le choc quand j'avais choisi Caesar, sans la moindre hésitation. J'aimais Damian profondément depuis l'enfance, et j'avais même juré de n'épouser que lui. Mais ils ignoraient que je revenais du futur. Dans ma vie passée, j'avais épousé Damian, comme je le souhaitais. Pourtant, le soir même de notre mariage, il m'avait trompée avec ma femme de chambre. Ensuite, ma famille l'avait découvert et avait renvoyé la domestique. Ils l'avaient chassée de la maison. Damian m'en avait voulu pour ça. Quand je suis tombée enceinte, il ramenait une femme différente chaque nuit et couchait avec elle, juste devant moi. Même le jour où je me suis battue pour accoucher dans des conditions terribles, il avait fait détourner toutes les ressources médicales. Il avait ignoré mes supplications, et il avait fini par me faire mourir, moi et mon enfant à naître, dans une agonie atroce. De retour dans le passé, j'avais décidé de lui rendre sa liberté. Sans y réfléchir, j'ai choisi mon autre fiancé : Caesar. Mais je ne m'attendais pas à une chose… Damian aussi était revenu à la vie.

Il est impitoyable, dominateur, et son emprise sur elle est immédiate. Quand Elena assiste à une exécution qui ne lui était pas destinée, Dante décide de faire d’elle sa captive… ou sa reine. Mais entre eux, ce n’est pas seulement une question de pouvoir : c’est une attraction brutale, un désir brûlant qui les consume. Dans un univers de trahisons, de guerres de clans et de serments brisés, Elena devra choisir : fuir cet homme qui la possède déjà… ou embrasser les ténèbres à ses côtés. Une histoire où l’amour et la violence s’entrelacent, où chaque regard est une menace, chaque baiser une brûlure, et où le sang versé scelle les serments les plus indélébiles.

Mais ce qu’Elio n’avait pas prévu, c’est que Sofia ne se laisse pas dominer facilement. Elle attise en lui un feu qu’il pensait éteint depuis longtemps, un désir féroce mêlé de colère, de possession et de jalousie. Quant à Sofia, elle découvre un monde de luxe, de violence et de plaisir interdit où la peur se mêle à l’excitation, et où chaque nuit avec Elio efface un peu plus ses repères. Alors que les menaces se rapprochent, entre trahisons, jeux de pouvoir et étreintes dangereuses, Sofia devra choisir : fuir à nouveau… ou embrasser la noirceur pour survivre à ses côtés.

Everyone in Salt City knew that Michael, the city’s richest man, doted on his wife as if his life depended on it. As his wife, I was once the object of everyone’s envy. But when Rachel appeared, I realized for the first time that even the one who loved you the most did not have their heart set in stone. Afraid I would find out, he hid Rachel in a villa on the outskirts of Salt City and spoiled her beyond imagination, all in a place I could not see. Yet every time he was intimate with her, Michael would still warn her coldly, “If you ever let Evelyn find out about this, your good days will be over.” But she was never obedient. Relying on Michael’s favor, she surreptitiously flaunted herself before me every day. Her presence constantly reminded me that Michael was no longer the man who only had me in his heart. So, I chose to respect his decision and vanish from his sight.

I'm notoriously known for being a vile heiress in this city's elite circle. I do whatever I want just because my family is rich and powerful. If I don't like someone, I won't hesitate to slap them on the spot. If any family dares to offend me, I'll have my family terminate all contracts with that family's business. Everyone is terrified whenever they bring me up. But everything changes when my dad brings Gwen Herman, the low-income student he's been sponsoring, home with him. Suddenly, I can hear her inner thoughts. Gwen tells me that this world is actually a novel with a plot where everyone adores and dotes on the main character. Apparently, Gwen is the kind-hearted female lead loved by everyone, whereas I'm the evil side character who's destined to be humiliated at every turn. What a coincidence. I already found out about this fact ten years ago. I watch as Gwen cowers at the side delicately like some wounded angel who looks eerily similar to my dad. Meanwhile, my dad is awfully protective of her and goes as far as to be extremely mean to me to my face. That's when I begin chortling loudly. "Just because I call you 'Dad' doesn't mean you're really my father, my dear stepdad."

It was just another morning commute—until he happened. Across the train aisle sat a man who looked like he’d stepped out of a high-end magazine and straight into a power struggle. His voice sliced through the air, sharp and commanding, as he chewed someone out over the phone like he ran the damn universe. Arrogant. Entitled. Dressed like a Wall Street god. Correction: he looked like a god. That’s where the charm ended—or so I thought. When the train screeched to a stop, he stood up in a hurry, stormed off… and left his phone behind. Did I pick it up? Yep. Did I snoop? Absolutely. Photos, contacts, a few mysterious texts—I couldn’t help myself. Did I keep it longer than I should’ve, building stories in my head about the man behind the voice? Yeah… I did that too. When I finally gathered enough nerve to return it, I marched into the glass-and-steel fortress he called an office. He wouldn’t even come out to meet me. So I dropped his phone on the desk outside his office door. And maybe—I left a photo on it first. Not exactly the professional kind. What I didn’t expect? A message. From him. What followed were late-night texts that burned hotter than anything I’d ever known. Words became whispers. Whispers turned into fantasies. I was falling—for someone I hadn’t even really met. He and I? Total opposites. Fire and ice. Chaos and control. But when we finally came face to face, it wasn’t just sparks. It was an inferno. What happened next? Let’s just say… falling for him was the easy part. Surviving what came after? That’s where the real story began.
