Simon Hawaii: Part Ii

His lashes fluttered and when his eyes met mine this time, the emotions they expressed before were extinct. “You’re my best friend’s daughter. You’re the girl I swore to protect and shield from those who would seek to harm or use you. I cannot do this now. Your father will not forgive me. I will not forgive myself.” “But you want me.” “What I want doesn’t fucking matter, Elle. I am not the type of man you should desire. I am bad and I’m only going to hurt you.” “Why don’t you let me make that decision myself?” “Because you’re too blinded by the silly feeling you have to see the truth. There can be nothing between us. Not now, not ever.” he said with the utmost certainty. . All Estelle Biggs ever wanted was Jace Henshaw II, and all he has ever wanted to do was protect her from everything that would harm her, including himself.

After a short-lived marriage with the cold and arrogant billionaire Ronin Logan, Carmen Price is eager for a break. Her attempt to unwind leads her to another wealthy billionaire, Simon Walsh. Little does she know, she’s about to encounter a whole new set of problems. Ronin Logan doesn’t do things without a purpose. Marrying a lowly employee from his company wasn’t a random choice; it was to salvage his family's reputation after his lover bailed on their wedding. And when he cuts ties with Carmen after less than a year of marriage, it’s to shield her from a situation even he’s struggling to grasp. Caught in a web of love, deceit, and betrayal that seems to lurk around every corner when they're together, will Carmen and Ronin find a moment to catch their breath and truly understand each other? Can they ever find it in themselves to grant the second chance that both of them might just deserve?

He's the greatest enemy of my father, but I am bound to make him own me, as part of the plan. But falling in love with my enemy, wasn't part of the plan.

Nach der Wiedergeburt beschloss ich, mich nicht mehr zwanghaft an meinen Jugendfreund Lukas Schmidt zu hängen. Zu seiner Geburtsparty stellte er ein Schild mit der Aufschrift: „Hunde und Mia Fischer dürfen nicht rein.“ Daher flog ich einfach nach Hawaii, um Abstand zu gewinnen. Als er behauptete, mein Geruch im Haus wäre ekelhaft, zog ich folgsam aus. Dann sagte er, nach dem Abschluss wolle er nicht mal dieselbe Stadtluft wie ich atmen. Also machte ich mich zügig davon und kehrte nie zurück. Schließlich sagte er, meine bloße Anwesenheit könnte seine wahre Liebe misstrauisch machen. Ich nickte nur und gab kurz darauf meine neue Beziehung mit einem Partner bekannt. Immer wieder traf ich jetzt die entgegengesetzten Entscheidungen zu denen aus meinem früheren Leben. Denn in meinem früheren Leben, nachdem ich endlich Lukas geheiratet hatte, sprang seine wahre Liebe von einer Klippe in den Tod. Er nannte mich eine Mörderin, folterte und quälte mich, bis ich schließlich in den Fluten der See endete. Diesmal wollte ich nur noch in Frieden leben. Später ging ich Hand in Hand mit meinem neuen Freund. Doch plötzlich blockierte Lukas unseren Weg, mit blutunterlaufenen Augen. „Mia, wenn du jetzt mitkommst, vergebe ich dir deine dummen Späße.“

On the other hand, she couldn't help but feel drawn to Lanceil's charm and charisma.

Could she really pull off such a daring feat and escape the clutches of her contract if love and lust interfered? The stakes were high, and failure was not an option.

Emily Silver was 17 years old when she became an orphan. Her father was assassinated by a planned coup which was led by his Beta and her mother was beheaded right in front of her. Not only that but she got auctioned off like a piece of antique to the highest bidder who happens to be the young and ruthless Alpha Alexander Lucius II. She thought all hope was lost in the hand of her ruthless master but she believed it was a turning point for her as she realized they were mated. Alexander Lucius II, a ruthless Alpha who was forced to take on the Alpha position when his father was killed met with Emily. He never had the intention of bidding the ridiculous amount on her but there was something about her he couldn't quite place his finger on. Having found out that they were mated, he rejected her as he never believed in the moon goddess choosing a mate for each person. Along the line, he found out they had the same desire; the thirst for revenge. With revenge on both of their hearts, they start a wild journey of hate, betrayal, secrets, and above all love.

Around the seventh month of my pregnancy, I overheard a conversation between my mate, Zane Andrews, and Ciara Phillips, the she-wolf I had taken in out of compassion after her family was brutally slaughtered by rogues. In a sultry, flirtatious tone, Ciara purred, “Zane, my love, if your wife discovers that the fertilized egg I planted in her womb isn’t truly hers by blood, she’ll be devastated—perhaps to the point of despairing suicide, don’t you think?” Zane snorted, his voice dripping with disdain at the mention of me. “It’ll work for us if she simply dies from heartbreak. Damn it. I can’t shake the worry that she might sever our bond and leave me with nothing. Let’s keep this under wraps until our child inherits all her assets. Only then will we reveal the bombshell, plunging her into darkness.” Ciara giggled, praising Zane for his cunning. My claws itched to lash out, but I held back, knowing the time for confrontation wasn’t yet. My heart sank as their betrayal cut deep. Years ago, I had defied my pack elders’ warnings about Ciara being a potential threat, taking her in and grooming her into our pack's doctor, funding her education out of sheer empathy. Now, I regretted every moment of my kindness. To think that my mate, who had once begged for my protection for his fragile pack, had the audacity to betray me. If not for my support, his pathetic pack would have crumbled long ago, leaving him nursing his wounds in a dark corner, fretting over survival. After a long moment of contemplation, I made my decision. I would feign ignorance to their schemes and play along by giving birth to Ciara’s baby. Two decades passed. Ciara’s child grew up, bearing the name Simon Andrews. Aware of their treachery, I still transferred all my assets to him. Once the paperwork was completed, Ciara boldly approached me in front of the entire pack, a maternity DNA test in hand. With a smug smile, she declared, “Leia Holland, look at this! I am Simon’s biological mother. Leave h
