Stephanie Patrick

Liliana Patrick, a twenty three years old timid and clumsy lady who lost everything in a blink of an eye. Suffer was an understatement in her case, she had nothing, no shelter, no friends, no family. But when she steps her leg in to Kings Company, she was introduced to another world she never knew about. Nicholas King, an example of rude and arrogant, cold, dominant, commanding and heartless. The thirty years took over his late father's property after he passed away, he shows no mercy to his workers, he can fire you with just a little mistake. But when his eyes roam her body as she walks into his office, he claimed her as his. I took a seat in front of him. "Good morning Sir-" I greeted but he cuts me off. "Did I ask you to seat?" His voice, so raspy, so deep, so sensual, so husky and so......British? I never knew the Kings were British. But what took my attention were those words he said. "Uhh....." I stood up immediately. "I'm sorry" I apologize but he looks angry or something. "You came sixteen minutes late, left my door opened, sat on the chair like you own the place" he snarled at me..... okay, Mr rude. "I.....I said I was sorry" I look away from him, he shuffle and his cologne filled my nostrils, sandalwood and lavender oil. "You are not to talk back till I ask you to. Sit" he ordered and I did. He grabs what looks like my resumè, he looks at me in an instant. His blue orbs holds no emotions in his eyes as he stares at me, but what was so intriguing was the fact that he's intimidating me really bad.

After seven years of marriage, Kayla Campbell had finally become pregnant. But during her prenatal checkup, she noticed something was wrong. The space to fill in the name of the child’s father was blank. She instinctively spoke up. "The father should be Luke Hudson. Was it missed during registration?" In Havenport's upper circles, almost everyone was aware of how devoted the head of the Hudson family was to his wife. He loved her so deeply that he had once been willing to undergo a vasectomy for her. "Kayla, watching you take medicine and get injections again and again breaks my heart. You're everything to me. If having a child means you have to suffer like this, then I would rather never have one." Perhaps the heavens were touched by them. Luke was a man known for his decisive and ruthless nature. On the day they confirmed her pregnancy, he had knelt and pulled her into his arms, crying until his voice gave out. He had personally handled all the medical registration paperwork afterward. With how carefully he treated her, a mistake like this made no sense. The staff member was clearly new to the job, and she worked at the computer for a long while before finally nodding. "The father's name was blank when the file was created." As she continued checking, her expression changed slightly. "But Mr. Hudson's name does appear in another patient's record. He's listed as the father of her child. The mother's name is Stephanie Campbell. Do you know her?" Kayla froze. Her thoughts went blank. People in their social circle all knew Kayla's background. She had been adopted by the Campbell family. But when the family finally found their biological daughter, they accused Kayla of having taken their real daughter's place for years and kicked her out without mercy. That biological daughter was Stephanie.

Hindi kailanman inakala ni Luhan na ang isang gabing dapat ay simpleng “boy’s night out” lamang ang sisira sa pinaghirapan niyang relasyon at nakatakdang kasal kay Stephanie. Sa isang iglap, nasangkot siya sa isang gabing puno ng alak at kalituhan—at nagising na may nangyari sa pagitan niya at isang babaeng hindi niya kilala. Sa desperasyong linisin ang kanyang pangalan, hinanap niya si Bella, ang kaibigang maaaring makapagpatunay na hindi niya ginusto ang nangyari. Samantala, pasan ni Cattleya ang mabigat na responsibilidad bilang ina kay Kesleigh, isang batang may sakit sa puso. Sa gitna ng problema sa pera, pagkawala ng tirahan, at trabaho, napilitan siyang tanggapin ang alok na maging sekretarya ng isang istriktong boss—si Luhan. Sa una’y puro iringan ang namagitan sa kanila, lalo na nang pagbawalan siyang magdala ng anak sa opisina. Ngunit habang tumatagal, unti-unting nahulog ang kanilang mga puso sa isa’t isa. Naging masalimuot ang lahat nang muling manggulo si Stephanie at unti-unting mabunyag ang koneksyon ng nakaraan. Isang rebelasyon ang yumanig sa mundo ni Cattleya—si Luhan ang lalaking nakatalik niya noon. Sa takot na mawala ito, itinago niya ang katotohanan, hanggang sa isang hindi inaasahang pagtatagpo ang naglantad ng lahat. Dumagdag pa sa kaguluhan ang paglitaw ni Caloy na nag-angking ama ni Kesleigh. Nasubok ang tiwala ni Luhan, ngunit pinatunayan ng DNA test na siya ang tunay na ama. Sa araw ng pag-alis nina Cattleya patungong ibang bansa, pinili ni Luhan na habulin sila—handa mang maghintay, umaasang balang araw ay mabubuo rin ang kanilang pamilya.

« Je ferai n'importe quoi ! » supplie-t-elle en me saisissant les mains. « Je ferai n'importe quoi. Laissez-le partir. Il a fait une erreur. » « Ce n'est pas une excuse. C'était une erreur coûteuse. » « S'il vous plaît. Je ferai tout ce que vous voudrez. Absolument tout. » Je laisse le silence s'installer entre nous, réfléchissant attentivement, les yeux rivés sur la fermeté et la plénitude de sa poitrine. « N'importe quoi, princesse ? » Elle lâche mes mains et se redresse, relevant le menton. Je la vois déglutir nerveusement. « O-Oui. Absolument tout. » Je porte mes doigts à son visage, essuyant mes pouces de ses larmes. Je les fais glisser le long de sa mâchoire forte, jusqu'à sa gorge, sur le creux de ses clavicules, sur la peau de sa poitrine, m'arrêtant entre ses seins. Je tourne silencieusement autour de cet endroit tandis qu'elle retient son souffle, peut-être d'impatience. « Me laisserais-tu te faire l'amour, Titania ? » Titania Williams, fougueuse mais innocente, est surtout connue pour se trouver au mauvais endroit au mauvais moment, et cette fois-ci, elle va en avoir pour son argent. Lorsque son cher oncle Patrick trahit Kristoff Stavkros, l'un des plus puissants parrains de la mafia new-yorkaise, Titania se retrouve malgré elle prise dans l'engrenage du crime et de la tromperie. Pour sauver son oncle, elle fait une proposition à Kristoff. Elle sera sienne pendant un mois. Trente jours, son corps lui appartient. Absurde, n'est-ce pas ? Mais Titania joue le jeu. Comment pourra-t-elle s'en sortir quand Kristoff change constamment les règles et est déterminé à la garder pour toujours ?
