Mélaine "Si j’avais su ! Franchement, si j’avais su que suivre ma meilleure amie en boîte ce vendredi soir allait provoquer un tel séisme dans ma vie, j’aurais enfilé mon pyjama pilou et binge-watché ma série préférée avec un pot de glace à la main." Mais voilà, le destin a toujours le chic pour se moquer de moi.

Son regard s’est figé dans le mien, ses joues se sont empourprées, et moi… je n’ai vu qu’une proie délicieuse, un secret irrésistible. Ce qu’elle ignore, c’est qu’entre elle et moi, il n’y aura jamais de demi-mesure : amour ou vengeance, passion ou destruction, tendresse ou provocation… Nous ne marchons pas vers une romance tranquille, mais vers une tempête. Entre éclats de rire et étincelles, maladresses et attirances incontrôlées, Mélaine et Thomas se lancent dans une relation où chaque baiser peut être une promesse… ou une menace. Et le plus fou, c’est que ni l’un ni l’autre ne semble vouloir appuyer sur pause.

Even though I was the one who broke my ribs in the car accident, my boyfriend Jared decided to take care of his drunk ex-girlfriend instead. When I called to ask him to spend time with me in the hospital, he berated me. “Why are you so clingy? Can’t you tell that Isabelle needs me right now? “You’re a nurse, aren’t you? What, you can’t even take care of yourself now?” Heartbroken, I suggested we break up, only to be met with anger. “I was going to propose to you, you know? Considering how influential my family business is, I need to make sure I choose my wife wisely. “Today was a test to see if you have what it takes to be the next Mrs. Carter. I thought you would be independent and selfless. I expect my future wife to have my back no matter what. “Look at yourself now. You can’t even take care of yourself over something so insignificant! I’m disappointed, Charmaine.” The next day, he posted a picture of himself and his ex-girlfriend on social media. The image’s caption was targeted at me: [You’d better think twice and apologize, Charmaine, or I’ll just date someone else.] I did not apologize. I had had enough of him, so I left the city. Three years later, I saw him again in the lobby of the Financial Tower. I was wearing a heavy onesie costume and sporting a full face of cosplay makeup, while he was wearing an expensive suit and had Isabelle hanging delicately from his arm. He recognized me immediately and laughed. “I knew you never moved on from me, Charmaine! Does it hurt to know I’ll be marrying someone else? “That’s what you’re doing here, right? You’re trying to cosplay as my favorite Marvel character to get my attention. “Maybe I’ll consider taking you back if you kneel and apologize.” I did not deign to reply. I had indeed loved him once upon a time, but today was my son’s birthday, and the cosplay was my surprise for him...

Dans ce royaume où les dieux s'immiscent dans nos vies, j'ai toujours été un jeune homme modeste, vivant dans l'ombre de ceux qui rêvaient de grandeur. Mais tout a changé le jour où j'ai découvert que je n'étais pas comme les autres. La Déesse de la Nuit, dont j'avais entendu parler dans des murmures et des légendes, m'avait choisi. Promis dès ma naissance, je portais en moi un héritage que je ne comprenais pas. Lorsque son appel s'est fait entendre, j'ai ressenti une peur mêlée d'excitation. Cette voix, douce et envoûtante, m'a attiré vers un monde que je ne pouvais imaginer, un monde où la beauté côtoyait le danger. Mais la Déesse, loin de l'image que je m'étais façonnée, était à la fois fascinante et terrifiante. Elle était belle, bien sûr, mais aussi cruelle et solitaire, une entité qui régnait sur la nuit avec une poigne de fer. À mesure que je m'enfonçais dans ce nouvel univers, quelque chose a commencé à changer en moi. Je n'étais plus simplement un élu ; je devenais son obsession. Mon cœur battait au rythme de ses désirs, mais je savais que cette passion pouvait me détruire. Entre le désir de fuir ce destin imposé et la tentation de me perdre entièrement en elle, je me suis retrouvé à un carrefour, hésitant entre la liberté et l’abandon. La nuit, avec tous ses secrets, m’appelait, et je ne savais pas si je devais répondre à cet appel ou chercher à m'en échapper.

Que peut faire une femme lorsque son mari a perdu la mémoire et qu'il est amoureux d'une autre femme ? Il y a trois ans, je suis restée dans le coma pendant un an après un accident de voiture. Lorsque je me suis réveillée, non seulement mon mari ne se souvenait plus de moi, mais il aimait une autre femme, Ashlyn. Mais je n'ai pas renoncé à notre couple. Il y a deux mois, nous étions ivres et nous avons couché ensemble pour la première fois en deux ans. Mais le lendemain matin, Jayden était plus en colère que jamais. Il était convaincu qu'il avait été drogué, ce qui n'était qu'un autre de mes stratagèmes pour le reconquérir... Je ne peux pas oublier l'image de lui me fixant sans aucune émotion dans les yeux et me tendant l'accord de divorce. Puis j'ai découvert que j'étais enceinte. La petite vie qui grandissait en moi m'a rendue plus forte. Cela fait maintenant trois ans et, lentement, chaque jour s'améliore. J'ai créé une petite entreprise de marketing et de conseil financier, mettant à profit ma formation. Mon associé, Philippe, m'a aidée à développer l'entreprise et nous sommes devenus très proches. Aujourd'hui, Philippe était tellement ému par la signature de notre plus gros contrat que ses lèvres se sont posées sur les miennes avant que je ne puisse l'en empêcher. Quand je me retourne, l'homme qui se tient devant notre porte vitrée et qui nous regarde, Philippe et moi, est mon ex-mari Jayden Brennan en personne. Y a-t-il de la jalousie dans ses yeux ? Que veut-il maintenant ?

Aceline était née sourde, condamnée à affronter depuis l'enfance regards froids et la méchanceté des autres. Et pourtant, à vingt ans, sa mère l'avait enchaînée pour trois longues années au fils le plus puissant des Benneteau – Kylian Benneteau - par un simple piège de grossesse. Kylian l'avait haïe dès le premier regard. Mais il n'avait pas pu échapper au destin : il avait dû l'épouser. Après le mariage, il a continué à flirter avec toutes sortes de femmes, se perdant dans les nuits troubles - toutes, sauf elle. Pour Aceline, il n'a jamais eu qu'un regard détourné. Une indifférence de glace. Aceline, de son côté, a tout supporté : Pour préserver l'image de « bonne épouse ». Pour protéger leur enfant. Pour sauver ce qui pouvait l'être. Elle a encaissé, encore et encore. Jusqu'au jour où la femme qu'il avait toujours aimée - sa lune, son obsession - est venue frapper à sa porte. Et le pire… c'était d'entendre son propre fils, celui qu'elle avait mis au monde au péril de sa vie, appeler cette femme avec l'intimité. Ce jour-là, elle a enfin compris. Le cœur de Kylian n'avait jamais été froid. Il a simplement brûlé, intensément, mais pour une autre. Alors elle est partie. Elle a laissé sur la table un dossier de divorce, signé, et a quitté leur maison sans se retourner. Pourtant, Kylian l'a retrouvée. Après trois années de négligence, il l'a agrippée et l'a enfermée sous son poids, la voix rauque, le regard obscur : « Aceline, tu prends le mariage pour un jeu ? Tu crois qu'on peut se marier quand tu veux… et qu'on divorce quand ça te dérange ? » Son souffle a brûlé sa joue. « Tu veux divorcer ? » « On verra ça quand tu m'auras donné un deuxième enfant. »
