St-charles Library Hours

Olivia Pierce was very lucky to be asked by CEO Charles Lozano to live with him. In a blink of an eye, he also made her his business partner. Why would someone give away everything to a complete stranger and then one fine day propose her for marriage? Was it love at first sight or was there some other motive involved? Find it out right away!

“When you’re done shedding your tears, don’t forget to close the door behind you.” Those cold disdainful words shattered Starr’s world. Fleeing the scene of her lover’s betrayal, she is left ruined and wrecked by the man she once trusted, who now lies in bed with another woman, indifferent to the pain he has caused. Starr had poured her heart and all into building a life with Charles, only to discover that her love and sacrifices were used to build a life that she was never included in. Betrayed and broken, she learns that Charles only saw her as a way out of poverty and a means to support his true love and their unborn child. Determined to reclaim her life and shut out the pain, Starr seizes an opportunity to start over in France, taking a job offer from her boss that promises a fresh beginning. But as she navigates this new chapter, the wounds of her past linger. Can Starr truly move on and find the love she deserves, or will the scars of betrayal keep her heart closed forever?

I find myself looking for a job, stuck between a rock and a hard place as I scroll through the 'now hiring' pages on jobsforyou.com. A few sound interesting... but none hold my attention, that is until I see it... NOW HIRING MAID! Must be willing to work and live on site. I click apply now. I have no place to live anyway. I am sat here at the library just hanging by a string. As soon as I hit submit application, I feel a rock in the pit of my stomach. What did I just do?

I am Charles Grant’s crush, and everyone said that he was really loyal to me. But on our third wedding anniversary, I found out that he had gotten a replacement for me. They even had a three-year-old child. I caressed my belly and tore apart the pregnancy report that I had brought to give him as a surprise.

5 hours 5 hours was all it took for Mia to lose everything; her money, luggage and her old life. When Mia left her small town in Texas to New York City to pursue her dreams of being a writer, what she didn’t expect was to be scammed, tricked and to stumble upon a dangerous scene that puts her life on the line. Everyone in and out of the state knew who Aaron Lombardi was. Being the youngest billionaire with a thriving business was the reputation he built from scratch and was determined to keep. So when threats start coming in and his only clue is a red haired girl with a bit of an accent, he is determined to find the truth through any means possible.

On the same day I was admitted into the hospital for my pregnancy, my husband, Charles Page, received 108 missed calls on his phone. It was from Sue, his mentee, a girl who had cancer. I asked if he was going to pick up, and he replied impatiently, "All she does is call me all day! Doesn't she have any other family? She's so annoying." Later, that very girl posted a photo of herself on the hospital rooftop, wearing a white dress. The caption said: [If I jump down from here, will I become a butterfly in my next life? Maybe then, everyone won't hate me.] Charles only glanced at the post before chuckling mockingly. "What does she mean, turn into a butterfly? Is she delusional?" But after that, he grew visibly restless, before rushing out and not returning all night. That night, I hemorrhaged and was taken into emergency care. When the nurse asked if I wanted to keep the baby, I looked at the empty space beside me and answered calmly. "No, I don't."

— „Zieh etwas an, das ich dir leicht ausziehen kann. Man weiß ja nie.“ Die Nachricht lässt mir die Hitze ins Gesicht steigen. Mit zitternden Fingern tippe ich meine Antwort: „Mal sehen.“ Alles begann mit einem Geruch. Rosmarin, brutzelnde Butter und etwas Süßes, das durch mein Fenster in diese neue Pariser Wohnung drang. Ich hatte gerade Thomas verlassen, ein Kapitel nach vier lauwarmen, behaglichen Jahren geschlossen. Ich suchte einen Neuanfang. Ich hätte nicht erwartet, die Besessenheit zu finden. Matthieu Beaumont. Drei-Sterne-Koch. Schön wie eine Sünde. Intensiv wie ein Brand. Unsere Geschichte begann mit einer geteilten Mahlzeit und einem Blick durch einen Innenhof. Sie explodierte in einer alles verschlingenden Leidenschaft, die mich schneller verzehrte, als ich es für möglich gehalten hätte. — „Schmeck das“, flüstert er und hält mir eine Gabel hin, seine dunklen Augen weichen nicht von meinen. „Und schließ dabei die Augen.“ Das Stöhnen, das mir entgleitet, lässt ihn dieses raubtierhafte Lächeln zeigen, das mir Angst machen sollte – stattdessen aber ein Feuer in meinem Unterleib entfacht. — „Dieser Laut“, sagt er mit heiserer Stimme. „Den will ich dir immer wieder entlocken. Aber nicht wegen Essen.“ Drei Tage. Ich brauchte drei Tage, um mich in einen Mann zu verlieben, den ich kaum kannte. Und dann zerbrach alles. Eine manipulative Ex namens Anaïs. Ein Verrat in einem Büro. Ein Geheimnis, das uns beinahe zerstört hätte. Ich hätte gehen sollen. Fliehen vor diesem Mann, der mir das Herz gebrochen hatte. Aber die Liebe folgt keiner Vernunft. Sie ist unordentlich, kompliziert, unvollkommen. Ich entschied mich zu bleiben. Zu kämpfen. Unsere Geschichte Stück für Stück wieder aufzubauen. Es ist die Geschichte eines Kochs, der kocht, wie er liebt: mit einer Intensität, die dich keuchend zurücklässt und nach mehr verlangen. Das ist unsere Geschichte. Unverblümt. Ehrlich. Gewürzt.

My wife and I were both liars. She lied to me 99 times. "I'll forget all about him, I swear." That man was her first love. She never did forget about him. I only lied to her one time. To get her to sign the divorce papers. Time came to the final day of the cooling-off period. Three hours before it was up, I packed up all my stuff and bought a flight ticket to another country. Two hours before it was up, I cut up all my photos that had her in it, leaving only myself. One hour before it was up, I placed the divorce papers on the table. When she saw the papers, they drove her mad.

Je n’étais que ta couverture. » « Et tu étais parfaite pour ça. » Léa pensait s’être mariée par amour, jusqu’au jour où elle surprend son mari au lit avec sa demi-sœur, avouant que leur mariage entier n’était qu’un mensonge destiné à dissimuler leur liaison interdite. Trahie, menacée et enceinte de six mois, elle fuit directement vers l’homme capable de détruire son ex : Stéphane Montenegro, le père puissant et brouillé d’Éthan. Froid, autoritaire et deux fois plus âgé qu’elle, Stéphane lui offre bien plus qu’une échappatoire : il lui propose la vengeance, la protection, une nouvelle vie et bientôt, quelque chose de dangereusement addictif : son contact, sa protection, son lit. Mais quand la vengeance se transforme en passion et que les papiers de divorce deviennent des vœux de mariage, Léa se retrouve non seulement sa femme… mais aussi la belle-mère de son fils. Dans ce jeu tordu de représailles, le véritable prix n’est pas seulement la destruction : c’est de conquérir l’homme qui était destiné à lui appartenir depuis toujours.
