Sorcière / Sorcier

I've just returned from the world's biggest tech summit when my mentor, who's like a father to me, calls. He tells me he's arranged for me to marry his close friend's son, Jonathan Ford. Jonathan is one of Javron's rising stars. A few of my patents are licensed to his company, and they form the core technology of his new product. I work late to wrap up everything in the lab. Then, I dress up and head to the engagement ceremony. Unexpectedly, I'm stopped at the door by Jonathan's secretary, Linda Jones. She wears a lavish gown and looks more like the bride than I do. "Turn around and scram if you know what's good for you," she says with a sneer. "You're just an orphan from the countryside—think twice about whether you're worthy of our CEO." I ask, "Does Jonathan know you're making decisions for him like this?" She lets out a contemptuous laugh. "You're nothing but a pretty face who needs to ride on her mentor's reputation to get married. How can you possibly understand the weight I carry in Mr. Ford's heart?" A blush spreads across her face as she speaks. I study her for a few seconds, then call Jonathan. "If your idea of courtesy is leaving your fiancee standing outside the venue, then here's how I'll repay the favor. I'll let you read the contract and watch as I sell my patents to your competitor. How does that sound?"

Vous me détesterez sûrement... et mon père en n'est le seul fautif ! Il ne devait pas être comme il est.

How cruel a world is when you're being forced on marrying someone you avoided after getting cheated on from someone you thought was the one? Can they be compatible? Will they be able to reconnect? :)

A playboy handsome man fell in love with the woman whom he met when they're kids. He didn't even know that the she's the woman who's he looking.

Three years of marriage, and every time we make love, he does it from behind. “Aidan! Why do you always avoid looking at my face? Is it because you're afraid of seeing the person you're sleeping with is me, not my sister?” “You want me to look at you while we do it? Then let me give you what you want.Anyways, Zoey is nothing like you. She is pure and innocent. Maybe Aidan is right. He was originally my sister's mate, 'stolen' from her, and he will never truly belong to me. But when I decided to break the mate bond with him, I found out I was pregnant.

"You were sold to me right after your mother used you as a collateral, You're mine, you're my property, only i have the right to decide if you live or die. You're here to serve as a my personal sex slave until your mother pays back every dime she borrowed from me" the alpha said as he grasped her neck really hard, making Gina choke. After a while, he released her and let her fall roughly to the ground while Gina gasped for air. The novel tells the story of Regina, a 21 years old beautiful lady who was used as a collateral without her knowledge. She was kidnapped by an alpha king and taken to a strange planet called "Atlanta", which was far away from earth, and was forced to serve him in bed as a way of paying for her mother's debt. While in Atlanta, she met so many girls from earth, who were tortured and being killed on daily basis. What happens when a slave eventually gets pregnant for a ruthless alpha who is desperately in need of a male heir to the throne

"You’re afraid of what you did? No, Jax. You’re afraid of how much you liked it." Ryker has always played to win. On the ice, in the locker room, even when it comes to protecting Jaxon, the best friend he’s wanted for longer than he’ll admit. But Jaxon is off-limits. Not just because he’s straight, not just because he’s Ryker’s teammate, but because he’s with Erin, Ryker’s sister. Then one night shatters everything. A mistake. A moment of weakness. A touch that should have never happened. Jaxon won’t talk about it. Won’t look at him the same way. Won’t break up with Erin. And Ryker? He should walk away. Should hate him for it. But instead, he keeps getting pulled back in, because Jaxon may be lying to himself, but his body tells a different story. Lust turns to obsession. Friendship to something jagged and raw. And as their secret spirals into something darker, Ryker realizes one thing. Some forbidden things aren’t just dangerous. They’re inevitable.

Lieutenant au sein de la brigade des stupéfiants, Alba Carini est une policière redoutée pour sa détermination et son instinct implacable. Orpheline adoptée dès l’enfance, elle n’a jamais connu l’identité de ses parents biologiques un vide qu’elle a appris à combler par sa vocation de justice. Jusqu’au jour où une enquête sur un cartel européen la mène à une vérité qu’elle n’était pas prête à affronter : son père biologique n’est autre que Massimo Valente, le chef d’un puissant empire mafieux, caché derrière une façade d’honorabilité. Mais ce n’est pas tout : Massimo, pour sceller une alliance avec l’organisation criminelle la plus influente du continent, a promis la main de sa fille qu’il n’a jamais élevée à Sandro De Santis, l’héritier aussi charismatique que dangereux de cette mafia rivale. Un homme habitué à dominer, à posséder… et à ne jamais perdre. Prise entre ses valeurs de policière et le sang mafieux qui coule dans ses veines, Alba doit choisir : fuir ce destin imposé ou plonger dans une union de feu avec l’homme qui représente tout ce qu’elle déteste… et tout ce qui l’attire. Car Sandro n’a aucune intention de la laisser s’échapper. Et derrière les promesses d’obéissance, le jeu de pouvoir et de désir commence cruel, torride, irrésistible. Mais dans un monde où les serments se signent avec du sang, l’amour pourrait bien être le crime le plus dangereux de tous.

I hear the rumors being spread about me in the pack. The whisper that I'm barren. "Why are you not pregnant yet, Delilah? It's not that hard to spread your legs and lay there, right?" I look down at the two pink lines on the test and smile. It's all going to change now. I went to tell him, and caught my mate cheating on me with my best friend. "He never loved you. We were together before he discovered you, " my best friend says. "He's only with you because he wants an heir," she says quietly. "You're his fated mate. He needed you." "Needed me for what? To play house while you two had your fun?" "To have his baby," she admitted. "Only a child from his fated mate can guarantee the Alpha genes." I was nothing but the tool who was now pregnant with the cheating Alpha's kid. "You're not walking away from this." Castor said, "We have obligations. You have obligations. You don't get just to walk away. None of us do." Tears blurred my vision, but I refused to let them fall. "You're unbelievable." I struggled to pull free, but his grip tightened around my wrist, and I was yanked more each time I resisted. He leaned down, his face inches from mine. "You'll come home with me right now, or I swear, I'll make your life a living hell. You're my wife. My property. And you'll do what I say now." "No, Castor. This is over," I said, backing away. "I'm done being your pawn." "You'll never be done with me," he said, tightening his grip on my waist. "You're mine, Lila. You always will be." "Watch me," I retorted, yanking my arm free. I will leave Castor, no matter the cost.
