Ruby Anne With An E

Everyone had been poisoned. The toast for my party had just happened and now people were dropping like flies around me. And then I saw him. He entered the hall like an angel of death, his dark brown eyes two pools of malevolence that shone with sinister intent.Despite his twenty years of age, he definitely had more kills under his belt than years on his person. I was viciously yanked into the hard body of the man responsible for everything going on.One muscular arm went over my chest, pinning me to him. Fear lodged itself in my throat upon the sensation of cool dangerous metal at my temple. I bit back a whimper. He was going to kill me. “The name is Gabriel Rossi,” he murmured, his deep voice sending ripples of fear down my spine. “And your papa is going to watch me k*ll his precious princesa. He took my birthright from me. I’m gonna take something from him too.” I gathered my courage and with a surprising amount of strength fueled by the sheer terror pumping in my veins, I pulled myself out of Gabriel’s grasp. He tried to grab my arm, only for his hand to go over the protective bangle that suppressed my magic. I gave another fierce jerk of my body and the bangle broke away, left behind in his hand as I pulled free. I heard the cocking of his p*st0l. My eyes met the feral glowing yellow eyes of my killer, one hundred percent sure I was going to die. “Mate,” Gabriel Rossi said, staring straight at me. **** In a world where darkness and magic collide, Evelina finds herself entangled in a perilous dance with fate. You can run from Gabriel Rossi....but you can't hide. ***

« Dis-moi d’arrêter. » Sa voix était basse, du genre à s’enrouler autour de sa colonne vertébrale et à rendre chaque souffle péché. « Tu ne le feras pas », murmura-t-elle. Il sourit — lent, cruel, dévastateur. « Tu as raison. » Il n’était jamais censé la toucher. Elle n’était jamais censée le désirer. Il y a trois ans, Maddox Steinfeld était devenu le tuteur d’Adeline Monroe — son salut, son filet de sécurité, sa cage. Il était la puissance incarnée : silencieux, discipliné, inébranlable. Le genre d’homme capable de tuer de ses mains et de l’envelopper dans ses bras pour l’endormir avec ces mêmes mains. Mais le désir ne demande pas la permission. Il s’insinue, lent et venimeux, jusqu’à ce qu’un moment volé transforme la protection en possession. À présent, chaque règle qu’ils avaient construite est brisée. Chaque regard, une promesse. Chaque toucher, une menace. Il est l’homme qui avait juré de la protéger. Mais dans le monde de Maddox, la sécurité est un mensonge — et l’amour, le piège le plus dangereux. Parce que lorsqu’il la prendra enfin, ce ne sera pas avec douceur. Ce sera total. Et une fois qu’il l’aura… il n’y aura plus d’échappatoire.

Meu amigo de infância prometeu que assim que terminássemos a faculdade, iríamos nos casar. Mas no dia da formatura, perante todos, ele se ajoelhou não para mim, mas para Ana, aquela falsa herdeira. Para o mundo, Ricardo era o herdeiro zen do círculo social, um homem que, mesmo tendo conquistado a mulher de seus sonhos, não hesitou em exibir sua paixão por mim após o pedido de casamento. Durante cinco anos de um casamento em que fui tratada como uma rainha, recebendo todo o carinho e atenção possíveis, me deixei enganar acreditando nesse conto de fadas. Até que um dia, por acaso, ouvi uma conversa entre Ricardo e um amigo dele: — Ricardo, agora que a Aninha virou celebridade, você ainda vai continuar fingindo para Júlia? — Não consegui casar com a Aninha, então tanto faz. Pelo menos, estando comigo, ela não atrapalha a felicidade da Aninha. Quando descobri todos os escritos deixados por ele, cada um deles tinha o nome da Ana. “Que Ana se liberte do que a prende, que ela encontre paz... Que seus desejos se realizem, que ela nunca sofra por amor. Ana, talvez não tenhamos destino juntos nesta vida, mas tomara que, em outra, eu possa segurar sua mão.” Cinco anos vivendo uma ilusão, e então acordei. Decidi assumir uma nova identidade e, para romper de vez, planejei meu próprio desaparecimento no mar. A partir de agora, mesmo que o destino insista, minha história e a dele não vão mais se cruzar. Não nesta vida, nem na próxima.

« Qu'est-ce que… tu fais ? » demanda Celeste d'une voix tremblante mais douce, comme si elle était au bord des larmes. « Qu'en penses-tu, ma petite ange ? » Malakai inclina la tête, ses yeux sombres se plissant, tandis que sa grande main caressait chaque tache de rousseur de son visage. « Voilà comment je montre à tout le monde à qui tu appartiens. En d'autres termes, je te revendique, ma chère épouse, et ici, point de salut, seulement la damnation. » ***************** Celeste Ronan devait épouser le benjamin des frères Valtor. L'amour de sa vie, mais quelques jours avant le mariage, elle le surprit en train de murmurer des mots doux à l'oreille de sa sœur aînée, tandis qu'elle le chevauchait. Fragilité et fille de la famille Ronan, elle fut rejetée, impuissante, tandis que son ex-fiancé épousait sa sœur aînée. Un verre d'alcool était censé l'aider à noyer son chagrin et à se complaire dans son désespoir, mais il n'en fut rien. Sa résistance à l'alcool ne fit pas le poids, et elle finit dans les bras de l'aîné des frères Valtor, Malakai Valtor. Celui qui portait une cicatrice, le milliardaire impitoyable et froid qui piétinait rois et ministres. Il n'était pas un sauveur, mais un démon dans un costume Alexander Amosu sur mesure. Céleste cherchait désespérément à fuir la réalité. Elle signa donc un contrat de mariage et devint officiellement sienne. À lui. À lui de la briser. À lui de la damner. Malakai Valtor est d'une avidité sans bornes. Il n'est pas question de partager sa jeune épouse innocente, qui cherche refuge dans son enfer, ni sa multinationale valant des milliards. Ni avec son frère, ni avec personne d'autre.

"What is going on with you?" she practically yelled. I looked at her and shrugged. "Seriously, Wolf. You're so damn confusing. One minute you act like you hate me the next you are defending me and acting like you love me. You make no sense" she ranted. She glared at me and I chuckled. "I didn't know what I wanted before. I do now" I said casually. "Really? And what is that?" She fumed. "You, baby." I smirked. Ruby, Scarlett, Sam and Wolf were all childhood best friends. As close as they could be. Ruby moved away years ago when her parents divorced. Her mother wanted a fresh start in New York. Everyone promised to keep in touch but, of course, they didn't. Only her cousin. Scarlett stuck by Ruby. Ruby survived though. She made new friends and her mother remarried making her new best friend Cassy her sister. Wolf was broken when Ruby left. Losing her changed him. As the years wore on, he became darker and cruel. He joined his Dad and ran the local MC and truly loved the lifestyle. Sam felt hollow since Ruby left. He distracted himself with football and girls and had earned himself quite a reputation. Ruby and Cassy became best friends while their mothers dated. They both embraced the New York party lifestyle. Ruby changed from a sweet, quiet girl to a bit of a wild child but kept her heart of gold. That is, until Ruby and Cassy have to move back to Rose Hills with their mothers. Wolf and Sam are shocked to see Ruby again. One of them view her as a challenge, the other as prey. Ruby has other ideas though. She's not the same girl that left and she's not about to let anyone hurt her again.
