The Enforcer Avery Keelan

!R18+ Contains matured content. Viewers Discretion is advised.! "Do you, perhaps, have a wife or a fiance at home?" I inquired. He blinked at me once before he shook his head negatively. "Oh great! This is great." I mumbled and my eyes looked to his navy blue Armani Suit and with a nod, I added, "Your outfit is perfect as well." "Perfect for what?" He asked. "A wedding. We're getting married. Let's get married." "What?" ••• What would you do when, on your wedding day, you find your so-called fiance in his dressing room with his manhood buried deep in between another woman's thigh? Call off the wedding and leave, right? That's when you're free to make your own decisions though. It's not the same for Avery Roosevelt, the hidden heiress of The Roosevelts. This, however, is the sticky situation she finds herself in. Livid with anger, she grabs the first man in front of the hotel reception and proposes marriage to him. But when she finally discovers the man she had proposed marriage to was the CEO of the company her Family has been in rivalry with for ages? And when the secret behind her birth is revealed to the world? Would her husband stand by her or let her go? And when another secret is unveiled to the couple? A secret that depended on their future together. Would they drift apart or would love prevail? "Hubby, I slapped Eleanor Roosevelt for badmouthing you. Did I do wrong?" "Of course not. Let me see your wrist... Does it hurt you?" "Hubby, I cursed at the wife of your business partner for calling me a b*tch." "It's fine. I don't plan on working with them anyway." "Hubby..." •••

Meu companheiro, Luther Evans, gastou 20 mil dólares em duas passagens de primeira classe no Moonlight Express para a Costa de Vespera. No momento em que estávamos prestes a embarcar, ele me puxou de lado e deu o meu lugar para minha irmã adotiva, Zoey Turner. Ele explicou: — Só restou um assento vazio no trem, e o filho da Zoey nunca viu o oceano antes. Esta é a oportunidade perfeita. Crianças não podem ser separadas de suas mães, então eu vou levá-los primeiro e deixá-los acomodados, depois volto para buscar você. Eu concordei e desci do trem, observando-o desaparecer à distância. Assim que chegaram à praia, um amigo perguntou a Luther por que eu não tinha ido junto. Ele estava ocupado inflando uma boia de piscina para Zoey, respondendo casualmente sem levantar os olhos. — Moonlight Express passa a cada três dias. Avery Smith pode simplesmente comprar sua própria passagem e vir mais tarde. Vou comprar alguns presentes para compensá-la. Ela é muito compreensiva e não vai ficar brava comigo por muito tempo. Um sorriso amargo surgiu nos cantos da minha boca. A família inteira sempre favoreceu Zoey, e agora até meu próprio companheiro não era diferente. Como ninguém queria me ver de qualquer forma, decidi que iria embora em três dias.

"When are you going to kill her like you killed her family and pack? She doesn't deserve to be your mate. She's weak and wolf-less." Avery, my mate's former lover, spoke in a bored voice from behind the wide, thick doors. I gasped in shock, covering my mouth to hold back the tears. My mate was responsible for killing my family?! And now, he was plotting my murder with his lover! ___ Selena Ardolf had always been the perfect Luna and a devoted wife. Her only flaw? She couldn't give Alpha King Zander Blake an heir. But just when the Moon Goddess finally blessed her with the miracle of pregnancy, fate delivered the most devastating news of her life—Zander had massacred her family and annihilated her pack. As if that pain wasn’t enough, he had also betrayed her, breaking their sacred mate bond by cheating on her with his childhood friend, an Alpha’s daughter. Heartbroken and shattered, Selena made the only choice she could—to protect her unborn child. She rejected her ruthless Alpha mate and vanished without a trace, keeping her pregnancy a secret from everyone. But fate had other plans. Years later, she is forced to face her ruthless ex-mate once more. This time, Zander seems more obsessed than ever, determined to claim her at any cost. However, Selena is no longer alone. A mysterious vampire prince shows up, declaring that she is his mate—Arabella, from the ages—and he has come to take back what is rightfully his.

Mon compagnon, Luther Evans, a dépensé vingt mille euros pour deux billets de première classe à bord de l'Express au Clair de Lune à destination de la côte de Vespera. Au moment où nous allions monter à bord, il m'a tirée à l'écart et a donné ma place à ma sœur adoptive, Zoey Turner. Il a expliqué : « Il ne reste qu'une seule place libre dans le train, et le fils de Zoey n'a jamais vu l'océan. C'est une occasion parfaite. Les enfants ne peuvent pas être séparés de leur mère, alors je vais les emmener d'abord, les installer, puis je reviendrai te chercher. » J'ai hoché la tête et je suis descendue du train, le regardant disparaître au loin. Une fois arrivés à la plage, un ami lui a demandé pourquoi je n'étais pas venue avec eux. Il était occupé à gonfler une bouée pour Zoey et a répondu avec désinvolture, sans lever les yeux. « L'Express au Clair de Lune circule tous les trois jours. Avery peut simplement acheter son propre billet et venir plus tard. Je lui achèterai quelques cadeaux pour me faire pardonner. Elle est vraiment compréhensive et ne m'en voudra pas. » Toute la famille avait toujours favorisé Zoey, et désormais, même mon propre compagnon ne faisait pas exception. Puisque personne ne voulait vraiment me voir, j'ai décidé de partir dans trois jours.

"You think you know hate, Avery?" His voice a dangerous rumble that seemed to roll straight through me. "Hate is easy. It’s the love that complicates everything." "Love? Don't talk to me about love. You wouldn't recognize it if it clawed its way into your heart." Liam's expression darkened, "And whose fault is that, remind me? You destroyed every ounce of it." My eyes filled with tears instantly, my voice so thick, it hurt my throat as the words came out. "And you made me pay for it, in the most horrible way. A person who loved a girl with his whole heart would never be able to do what you've done, what you've allowed to happen. That's why I hate you, because you never loved me, or else you couldn't do all this to me." His eyes sparked with anger "You have no idea what you're talking about." "Maybe I do, maybe I don't," I shot back bitterly, "But it seems like the only thing you're good at is pretending. Pretending to care, pretending to love—" "That's enough!" his voice boomed. "You want to see how real my feelings are? I should teach you a lesson on underestimating them." I tilted my chin up in defiance "Go on then, teach me." The next moment was a blur of motion as he closed the distance between us. His hands gripped my face, not gentle but not cruel—a fervent, desperate hold. His lips met mine in an intense, raw kiss, fueled by anger and deep, relentless desire. The kiss was punishing, his mouth moving against mine with a fierce urgency that left no room for doubts or second thoughts. As he pulled back, his eyes bore into mine, challenging, questioning, daring me to deny what lay between us.
