Silence Wench

La vidéo de la demande en mariage de mon petit ami à sa secrétaire a fait le buzz, tout le monde s'est écrié que c'était romantique et touchant. La secrétaire a même écrit une publication sur Instagram : « Je t'ai enfin attendu, heureusement que je n'ai jamais abandonné. M. Robert, prenez soin de moi pour le reste de la vie. » Les commentaires fusaient : « Ils vont si bien ensemble, la secrétaire et le PDG, c'est le couple le plus mignon ! » Je n'ai ni pleuré ni crié, j'ai simplement éteint le téléphone en silence, et je suis allée chercher mon petit ami pour lui demander une explication. Mais j'ai entendu sa conversation avec un ami : « Je n'ai pas le choix, si je ne l'épouse pas, sa famille la forcera à épouser un homme qu'elle n'aime pas. » « Et Emma ? C'est ta vraie petite amie. Tu n'as pas peur qu'elle soit en colère ? » « Et alors ? Cela fait sept ans qu'Emma est avec moi, elle ne peut pas me quitter. » Plus tard, nous nous étions mariés le même jour. Les voitures de mariage se sont croisées, et au moment où les mariées échangeaient leurs bouquets, il m'a vue dans l'autre voiture… et il a complètement craqué.

**Hunger Games Meet Werewolves. One Mate. One Chance. No Mercy.** "Good evening, everyone. Thank you for joining us for the Luna Games. I feel immense honor that you all would sacrifice your lives to have a chance to stand by my side. The White Crescent Pack is forever growing and progressing, and we're in dire need of a Luna and an heir. One of you will lead beside me, and we'll create a better tomorrow. May the Moon Goddess watch over you, and keep you safe." *** Alpha Noah Harvey—my godfather, my protector, the man who’s loved me in every way but the one I’ve always wanted. He’s fifty. I’m turning eighteen. And I’ve been keeping a secret for years… one that ignited the moment I learned the truth: He entered the Luna Games. Not as a spectator. As the grand prize. Centuries-old and brutal, the Games are a savage tradition where unmated she-wolves fight in deadly trials for the right to claim an Alpha. I should’ve run. I should’ve looked away. Instead, I signed up the night before my birthday, without my parents’ blessing and with only one goal: Survive. Win Him. Prove I belong beside him. When our eyes locked at the ceremony, everything stilled. One whispered word cracked through the silence: “Mate.” Now I’ll have to bleed and battle my best friends to earn what fate has already declared mine. Because love isn’t a choice anymore...it's war. Read The Luna Games now if you love forbidden desire, deadly trials, and a heart-stopping age gap romance that breaks all the rules. "The Luna Games" is the sequel to "The Accused Mate" but can be read as a standalone!

Au moment de l’avalanche à la station de ski, j’ai été poussée par ma cousine Camille Dufour. Mon fiancé, Antoine Lacroix, a pris ma cousine dans ses bras et s’est détourné, oubliant qu’il y avait quelqu’un comme moi enfoui au fond de la neige. Je suis restée seule au fond de la vallée pendant sept jours. Quand il m’a retrouvée, il était furieux : « Heureusement, les bras de Camille vont bien, sinon tu n’aurais qu’à mourir dans cette montagne pour te faire pardonner ! » « Le mariage dans une semaine est annulé, et il n’aura lieu que quand tu te rendras compte de ta faute. » Il s’attendait à ce que je pleure, que je me roule en boule et que je sois en désaccord. Mais je me suis contentée de hocher la tête en silence : « D’accord. » Il ne savait pas que j’avais passé un accord avec la Déesse de la Lune dans la montagne. Six jours plus tard, je lui remettrais ce que j’ai de plus précieux : mon amour et mes souvenirs d’Antoine. À partir de ce moment-là, j’oublierai tout ce qui le concerne et je recommencerai à zéro. Peu importe que je me marie ou non. La Chloé Gerard qui l’aimait est déjà morte dans la montagne enneigée.

« Dis-le », murmura-t-il en la plaquant contre le mur, la main serrée autour de sa gorge, non pas pour la blesser, mais pour la sentir. « Dis-moi que tu m'appartiens. » Son corps était proche, trop proche, et ses lèvres effleurèrent le coin de sa bouche, mais elle ne parla toujours pas. Elle ne le fit jamais. Mais la façon dont ses lèvres s'entrouvrirent et dont son souffle s'arrêta lorsqu'il pressa sa bouche contre sa mâchoire – c'était plus fort que des mots. **** Il n'était pas censé la désirer, et elle n'était pas censée compter, mais à partir du moment où le roi Vaelor la réclama, tout commença à changer. Séraphine fut vendue comme une propriété – silencieuse, indésirable et toujours enchaînée. Elle était destinée à n'être qu'une esclave parmi d'autres pour le cruel Roi Lycan, mais son silence devient ce qui le hante, et plus elle reste silencieuse, plus il perd le contrôle. Il veut qu'elle ait peur. Il veut la briser, mais surtout, il veut qu'elle le choisisse, même s'il doit la détruire pour y parvenir. Et Séraphine ? Elle aussi commence à désirer des choses. Des choses dangereuses. Des choses qui ont le goût du pouvoir, de l'obsession… et de lui.

She was forced to accept a marriage proposal from a strange billionaire to pay her huge debt and to take back her inheritance left to him when her mother died. Nathan’s lawyer handed her the documents, including the marriage certificate. Things were moving much faster than she had imagined they would, and everything happening seemed too easy. Too good to be true - a voice in her mind cried out - Be careful! It’s a trap! If it was a trap, though, it was very cleverly hidden. Crystal contemplated the proposal for a moment before addressing Mike, his lawyer. “I only have two questions,” she said. “The first question is this: if I sign it, does it mean that I don’t need to pay my debt?” Mike: “Yes. And your second question...?” Crystal: “Okay, I haven’t reached the legal age for marriage yet, so even if I sign it, it won’t take effect. Is that right?” Nathan quickly raised his hand and said, “If I say that it is effective, no one will dare to say that it isn’t. Do you believe that?” “I suppose so,” Crystal admitted. She hesitated for a moment, and then she signed the marriage certificate. Months later, she asked for a divorce from him. He stared at her in silence, then he uttered, “Have I ever told you how much I love you?” “What does that have to do with our divorce?” Crystal asked. “I’m only asking because I care about you,” Nathan murmured. Suddenly, tears began to stream down Nathan’s face. “I’ll be happy if you say that you care about me,” Nathan continued. “Why must you torture me this way? Haven’t I done enough to prove my love for you?”

“Kiss me,” Dante said. His undertone burned with desire as much as his hooded grey eyes. “I will not.” Sophia chuckled, trailing a finger against his hard-clothed chest, biting on her lower lips and relishing in the frustration his expression held. Dante growled, staring down at her. “You little tease.”He grunted enclosing his palm around her jaw and smashing her gently against the wall. “Oh…...” Sophia gasped. Her breath hitched and her walls tingled as she stared into Dante's eyes. Gosh! He was the hottest man on earth. Deep lustful grey eyes that pleased to let him kiss her, heavy breath that showed how much he yearned for her. Her inner churned and she moved her fingertip against his cheeks, watching the rise and fall of his chest. “Kiss me.” She whispered with eyes that granted approval and soaking wet cunt, that burned with the desire to be touched by him. Dante’s cock jerked in gratification. Without further words he cupped the base of her neck, smashing his lips against hers and kissing her hungrily like she was his first taste of wine. If Sophia had the world, she would give it to Dante, but she had just her pure beautiful heart—the total opposite of the man Dante is. The ruler of the underground world, the one whose presence commanded silence, found himself wrapped in the web that her fragile little heart had created for him. He would lay the world for her, and if she desired, then the world would cease to exist. Something that started as mare lust has whirled into powerful love, breaking the resolve that Dante spent his entire existence building. She was everything he desired, only that she was the standing ovation to the victory he spent his existence working for.

After being forced to marry a man she didn’t know to save her father’s business, Cassandra thought her life would change. But it didn’t. The marriage was married on paper that meaning nothing. After she married, she was still allowed to continue living as she wished. A year after her marriage, Cassie applied for a job at a big company that brought many changes to her life. That was when she discovered that her boss was a cold-blooded mafia who killed with his bare hands—the worst man she had ever met. Their first encounter happened when she accidentally walked into her boss’s room and caught him having sex with a woman. And to her shock, her boss turned out to be her husband—the man who hadn’t shown up on their wedding day. *** “Cassandra Ainsley Floyd?” Chris repeated the name, then looked up to see the woman standing in front of his desk. “Yes, Sir." “Are you married?” The question slipped freely from his lips as he waited for an answer. “No, Sir. I’m not married.” Her answer broke the silence between them. “Alright, you’re hired, Miss Floyd. Starting tomorrow, you’ll work as my secretary. Come in tomorrow morning, and my personal assistant will show you what you need to do.” As soon as Cassandra walked out of his office, Chris called his trusted person impatiently. “Yes, Christ?” “Do you still have my wife’s information? I’ve forgotten her name, but as long I remember, her last name is Floyd, isn’t she? I think she just applied for a job at my company without knowing I’m her husband. Interestingly, it seems she has a special relationship with my cousin.”

Living with my aunt and her family was meant to be a temporary, quiet arrangement just helping out and keeping to myself. On the first day of the new year, while everyone else was out celebrating, I stayed home, enjoying the rare silence and catching up on sleep. But when we ran out of water, I reluctantly stepped outside to fetch some, and that’s when I saw him. He stood by the gate of the house next door, effortlessly commanding attention with just a glance. A smirk played on his lips, and a flicker of amusement danced in his eyes behind his blue-ray glasses. At that moment, he was impossible to ignore. Meanwhile, I felt disheveled and barely awake, my hair was a mess and still shaking off sleep. But he didn’t seem to mind. There was something about him an air of mystery that made me wonder who he was and why he was there. Before I could look away, he spoke, “Hi.” Caught off guard, I managed a quick, “Hi,” while trying to pull myself together. “Can I know your name?” he asked. I hesitated but replied, “I’m Clara,” and kept walking. “Can I have your number?” he called after me. “Just as friends.” I almost refused but reluctantly agreed, entering my number into his phone. “There,” I said, handing it back. “I’ll call you,” he promised with a smile, as I turned to leave. What began as a chance encounter soon became an inexplicable connection. He had secrets, but there was something about him that saw through me, understanding things no one else did. The man I met next door wasn’t just a fleeting stranger,he became the reason I started questioning everything I thought I wanted.

Une jeune femme, Ophélie, call girl par nécessité plus que par choix, vit une nuit passionnée avec un inconnu dans un hôtel de luxe. Ce moment unique, qu’elle pensait sans lendemain, la marque bien plus qu’elle ne veut l’admettre. Quand elle découvre qu’elle est enceinte, elle décide de garder l’enfant. Pourtant, l’idée de ce père absent l’obsède, et elle passe des mois à le chercher, en vain, ne connaissant ni son nom ni sa vie. Sept mois plus tard, alors qu’elle accompagne une amie invitée à un mariage, Ophélie accepte à contrecœur, persuadée que ce sera une simple distraction loin de ses préoccupations. Mais lorsque le futur marié apparaît, son cœur s’arrête : il est là, devant elle, l’homme qu’elle a tant cherché, l’inconnu de cette nuit inoubliable… et il s’apprête à épouser une autre. Déchirée entre le soulagement de l’avoir retrouvé et l’horreur de la situation, Ophélie se retrouve face à un choix impossible : révéler la vérité et bouleverser à jamais ce mariage, ou garder le silence et voir l’homme qu’elle n’a jamais cessé de chercher s’unir à une autre femme, ignorant qu’il est déjà père.

The night before I was supposed to marry the heir to the Moretti family, I found a string of ninety-nine filthy texts on my fiancé Leo’s phone. A woman named Ava Collins, telling him she loved him. Shameless. Desperate. She was begging him to call off our wedding, threatening to kill herself if he went through with it. I didn’t waste a second. I shoved the phone in his face and demanded an explanation. The silence stretched for an eternity before he finally broke. “Her brother was Liam. My underboss. He took a bullet for me. My bullet. I promised him I’d look after her.” "Jennifer, we grew up together. You know it’s you. It’s always been you. I swear, I’ll handle it. I’ll cut her off." I searched his eyes, hunting for the lie. I swallowed the acid in my throat and chose to believe him. The wedding was on. This was bigger than us. It was a treaty signed in blood between two families. And God help me, I still loved him. But on our wedding day, as we stood at the altar, vows on our lips, Leo got the call. It was her. Ava. On a bridge, threatening to jump. Demanding he come. Now. The diamond ring, a breath away from my finger, clattered to the stone floor of the church. Not a word. Not a single explanation. He just left. Left me, our families, our future... left me standing alone at the altar. Through a blur of tears, I screamed after him, "Leo, if you walk out that door, we are done!" His only reply, tossed over his shoulder, “She needs me.” He never looked back. Carrying his child, I vanished from his world and never looked back.
