Show'n Tell

Rome has been angry with Cayson Montemayor for more than a decade now, but the young woman can do nothing but show kindness to him because her entire family works and teaches at the school owned by the young man's family. One night, she found herself at a party that would lead to her greatest misery. She got drunk and went into the wrong room. The next morning, she woke up naked beside the devil himself, Cayson Montemayor. Something happened to them that night; an incident he thought was a bad dream caused by the spirit of alcohol. She asked him to forget about what happened that night, and they agreed to never speak of it again. But thirty days later, she found herself pregnant with Cayson Montemayor's child. And her family wanted to know the truth. How could she tell them the truth without tarnishing the family name and not being forced to marry the father of the child she was carrying? She would never marry and live with that man under the same roof, she would die to be with that demon every day! But does she have any choices?

It's my seventh anniversary with Chase McGregor. I hide in his car's trunk while holding a pregnancy report. In my other hand, I hold a limited-edition watch that I've prepared for him. I want to surprise him and tell him we're about to have a child. To my surprise, I hear something that devastates me. "Chase, you're not really going to marry Daphne, are you? Lucille Gervais wants to marry you. As long as you do that, the North Sea's shipping routes, cargo operations, and drug trade will come under your control." "Help me set up a date with her. I'll break up with Daphne." My breathing hitches. I want to hear Chase object to this or show even the slightest bit of hesitation, but none of it comes. The pregnancy report slips from my fingers. I once thought he would be the father of my children; I thought we would have a happy family together. Now, my dream has been shattered.

Five years after I died, Delia—my wife, a doctor—tried to dump her first love's new mess on me again. She stormed into my old place, waving some fake agreement with my name on it, but all she found was dust. Panicking, she ran downstairs and cornered the shop owner. "William?" he said. "He's been dead five years. Heard the family of that malpractice case found him. Stabbed him up bad." Delia laughed it off, like the guy was making it up. "So what if he got suspended? He's still sulking over that?" She rolled her eyes. "Tell him this—he's got three days. If he doesn't show, I'm cutting off his sister's cancer treatment." She muttered something ugly, slammed the door, and left. The shop owner just watched her go, shaking his head. "There's no sister left," he said quietly. "She died years ago... couldn't pay for treatment."

"Our marriage will only last until I can end this war. I would never subject my people to the punishment of having someone like you as their Luna.” In silence, Corinne just stared at her new husband. After all, it would be rude to tell him that she was hoping, as much as he was, for a quick divorce. Even though she was raised in isolation by her father, the Alpha of the Tigers, Corinne Valiant's terrible reputation follows her wherever she goes, especially in her arranged marriage to the Alpha of the Wolves, Hunter Calibur. To ensure the safety of his people and end an dangerous crisis, Hunter is willing to do anything, even temporarily marrying an evil, selfish, violent and troublemaking Tigress. Whether she is his fated mate or not is just an unwanted detail that he plans to ignore. However, when Corinne begins to show herself different from what the rumors said, gaining his trust and awakening his obsession, Hunter is surprised to realize that, when the time comes, he may not want to let his wife go, no matter how bad she seems ready to get rejected.

"I will spare them if you become my plaything. Let me use you whatever way I want.” “Ok.” Her voice was labored and out of breath. "It seems that the idea of becoming my toy is appealing to you?" He grinned. "For how long are you going to keep me?" "Until I am tired of you." She could feel the tears welling up inside her eyes. She was not going to show weakness in front of such a vile man. "Now that we have agreed, take your clothes off." *** Selena was the Alpha's bastard child who was despised by all. In an ideal world, her envious stepmother would have killed her, but because of her Alpha blood, her father allowed her to live. On her 18th birthday, Selena was sold by her father to an elderly Alpha who just desired a breeder. Her life suddenly took a turn for the worst after five years of agony with her forced mate when her pack was taken over by the vicious Alpha Cayden, who also killed her mate. Selena had given up on life and was wishing for death, but Cayden wouldnt let it. He desired to use her as a plaything and a toy, something to demonstrate to others his ability to seize and make use of anyone's mate. Was there more to his act? Would he use her until she lost the will to live? Love or revenge which one would win?

"Every person has their own unique desires, Lexie," he says, his voice low and seductive. "Some are easily satisfied, while others crave more... intense experiences."As he speaks, my mind races with possibilities, each one more exhilarating than the last."Tell me," I urge, my heart pounding in anticipation."Are you sure you want to know?" he teases, his eyes dancing with mischief. "It might be more than you bargained for.""But what if,” I start, locking my eyes with his. “What if I am the one who ends up being on the top?” And my smile becomes wicked.----Lexie meant only to visit her best friend to reorganize her life.

Five years after we broke up, my ex-fiancé Bruce, yes the mafia one, suddenly called me out of the blue to announce our wedding date. I was speechless. Shocked, I blurted out, "Wait… didn't we break up five years ago?" He replied with his usual arrogance, "Break up? I never agreed to that. You left in a fit of anger. "And let me guess. You came back to the country only because you heard I was getting married. Out of jealousy, hoping to reclaim our engagement?" He even had the nerve to tell me to be magnanimous and accept Bella, the so-called 'perfect girl' who had spent the last five years by his side. I let out an icy laugh and hung up immediately. I had long been married to the most powerful Don of the strongest mafia family and had two adorable sons to show for it. Honestly, I had no idea what Bruce was thinking. Now, who even cares about him?

When fate played a cruel card on me, I was forced to shed my way of life and become someone I hardly recognised to survive in my new world. Only one thing was clear: Everyone who hurt me would feel the wrath of my anger. Dever, my ex-mate, for betraying. The Gray brothers, for taking a life from me. I had a plan. I made new alliances. But little did I know, fate wasn’t done playing its hand. My wolf recognizes her fated mate in one of the brothers. Now I’m caught between two cursed brothers—dangerous, possessive, and broken in ways I can’t begin to understand. Klaus, with eyes that see too much and walls I can’t break through. Kade, with a wicked smile that masks the storm raging inside him. I wanted revenge. But the deeper I fall into their world, the harder it is to tell where my pain stops... and where my heart begins. I must decide this time, to take what I’m owed or let fate take its course… even if it means losing my life.

…”Damn it, Klein! Am I a fool to you? You were with a woman last night! You were drunk! Both of you went to the hotel together. And now you stand there and tell me “something” came up! Is it normal for you, a married man, to go to a hotel with other women?” “How did you know?” “Is that all you have to say?” I looked at him disbelievingly. How can someone say such a shameless thing with a straight face? “Well since you asked, I’m going to tell you. When I rang your phone last night, that bitch was the one who answered. She friggin answered it just to show me she was with you. And your photos with her in the hotel are all over the Internet! That’s how I found out about your affair!” I’m breathing heavily by the time I’m done talking. Klein is staring at me with an unreadable expression. He must be shocked to the core. “First of all, Jasmine is a friend of mine and I prefer you call her in a more respectful way. Second, I was drunk and she only sent me to the hotel. That’s all. I’ll handle the photos. It won’t affect yours or the Conglomerate’s reputation. ”… **********************************************. Klein only realized he had feelings for his wife, Eloise, when she finally got sick of playing the part of an understanding wife in their arranged marriage after his ex-girlfriend showed up. Now he wants to make things right with his wife but it’s probably too late because she already filed for a divorce and wants nothing to do with him anymore. Will he succeed in winning her back or will she find love in another man’s arms?

Son regard se posa de nouveau sur moi, lent et scrutateur. Puis, sans prévenir, ses mains se levèrent et se refermèrent sur ma gorge. Je haletai, griffant instinctivement ses bras. Il ne bougea pas. Désobéis-moi encore, dit-il d'une voix basse et froide, et la prochaine fois, on ne comptera pas. Même tremblante, je relevai le menton. Alors ne confonds pas silence et obéissance, dis-je d'une voix rauque. La voix de Carlino suivit, calme, absolue, comme si de rien n'était. Ferme-la à clé ce soir. C'est alors que tout s'est stabilisé. Il n'y avait aucune pitié. Aucune exagération. Chaque mot, chaque menace, il les pensait vraiment. Il ne prétendait pas être le diable. Il ne prenait tout simplement pas la peine de le cacher. --- Elle le hait. Il refuse de se laisser la désirer. Lina Gray n'aurait jamais cru que l'amour la trahirait. Jusqu'à ce que l'homme en qui elle avait confiance la trahisse pour éponger ses dettes. Livrée entre les mains de Carlino Lacentra, le parrain de la mafia dont le nom suffit à imposer sa loi, Lina est privée de tout choix et couronnée Donna pour s'assurer un trône qu'elle n'a jamais désiré. Dans son monde, le pouvoir fait loi, la loyauté est monnaie courante, et une femme aux côtés du roi n'est jamais une simple femme.
