Richard Sterling Empire の小説・ストーリー

I had been in a secret relationship with Don Vincent Russo for ten years. The night I found out I was pregnant, he had already booked a wedding. I thought the man who had taken me in from the orphanage was finally going to give me a home. That was, until I saw the video of him kissing his first love, Sofia Costa. On my way to confront him, I was hit by a car and thrown onto the pavement. Lying in a pool of my own blood, I called him again and again. Nineteen times. When he finally answered, he was coaxing Sofia. "If it's too noisy, just turn off the phone, my principessa. Your mood matters most. "Our partnership with the Costa family depends on you." I hung up in despair. What he did not know was that not long before that, I had learned the truth. I was the real heir to the Costa family. The woman he loved… was nothing more than a fake I would tear down with my own hands.

Blurb In a city where power dictates everything, the Romanos and the Jens are known as sworn enemies—and the Romanos are the most feared. When tensions rise to the brink of war, the Jen family makes a desperate move for peace: they offer one of their daughters to the Romanos. “Don Vincent, tell me why Cousin has to be sent as a gesture to the Romano family. Why can’t we face them head-on, since they’re the ones pushing for this?” I asked, struggling to keep my voice steady. “Bella,” my granduncle replied, his tone firm and unyielding, “this is the only way to stop Don Romano from invading our territory and taking what’s ours. You know how ruthless he is.” That’s what they all believe. But I’m about to change everything.

Claire Bennett kept two secrets in her marriage. The first was that the Sterling family had never truly accepted her. Before the wedding, they tricked Adrian Sterling into signing an agreement that would end their marriage after seven years. The second was their daughter. For seven years, Adrian never knew he had a child. Claire had loved him with everything she had, believing time might soften his heart. But with only three months left before the divorce took effect, she discovered his own secret: the woman he had never forgotten was her sister-in-law. In an instant, seven years of devotion became a cruel joke. Claire stopped pretending. She chose divorce, kept their daughter’s existence to herself, and walked away determined to keep the child, not the father. Then the woman everyone had dismissed as nothing more than a housewife rose to the top of the medical world, becoming the youngest winner of a major award. Only then did Adrian realize she had truly let him go. And when the truth about their daughter finally came out, the man who had always seemed cold and untouchable lost control at last. “Divorce? Keep the child and cut me out? Claire, are you trying to ruin me?” Claire only smiled, her daughter’s hand clasped in hers. “Mr. Sterling, my daughter’s last name is Hart. Not Sterling.”
