Thomas Brodie-sangster 15

Santa Maria Deogracia. Despite being given that name, she is not filled with grace, and she is far from holy.  She is feral, rebellious and arrogant. She felt unfortunate her whole life. Poor and born from an affair between her father and his mistress. A child that no one wanted. A bastard hated by the legal family.  But her life took an unexpected turn when she got entangled with a man called Hellion. Witnessing a gruesome crime and the next thing she knew, she was already under him, moaning, catching her breath while chanting his name—spending a hot night with an enigmatic drop dead gorgeous man with a dangerous allure and piercing stares that weakened her knees. Only to find out the next morning that he is actually that infamous ruthless billionaire, 15 years older than her at that; Lazarus Lombardi.  With her life filled with twists and turns, she never expected to get entangled with him even more when he offered her a job—to be his sex slave. Having a secret relationship, that is wrong yet it felt so right—he became her solace.  Desperate to escape in her toxic home, she married him eventually, thinking that it was the right decision.  Or so she thought. . .  Little does she know, her decision is merely an illusion, shattering her newfound happiness. As she delves deeper into the darkness lurking within him—Unveiling the truth, secrets and betrayals. . .  Leading her to escape from his suffocating grasp.  Santa Maria thought she had finally escaped his clutches, only to find herself entangled in his web once more, years later. And escaping him again is the furthest thing from his mind, not with the obsessive mafia boss; Lazarus Lombardi. Will she ever break free from his grip? or will she remain forever trapped in his twisted embrace?

A growl escaped his throat as my robe fell and pooled at my feet. I was completely naked. I saw his eyes dilating. He wanted me. That was all that mattered. A seductive smile curled on my lips, hiding the nervousness I felt. "I'm all yours, Alpha..." "Get dressed! And get out!" His breathing hitched as his gaze swept all over my naked form. I walked towards him, biting my lower lip as I reached for his shirt, unbuttoning it while ignoring his anger. He would have pushed me away if he didn't want this, but instead, he moved swiftly and pinned me against the wall. "Is this what you want?" His said hoarsely. His breath brushed against my neck, sending pleasurable tingles between my thighs as he pressed his front against mine. I stared back at him, letting my eyes show the emotions I had kept hidden all these years.

In October 2025, an explosion occurs at a remote lab. An unidentified substance is leaked, and the virus makes people go insane. Anyone who is bitten by these rabid creatures becomes one of them. It's like the zombies people see in movies and video games. On the first day of the explosion, my five-year-old, Joyce Fairfield, is still at kindergarten. I risk my life to hurry there, but I can't even find her corpse when I arrive. I can only look at the surveillance footage to see her face, which is ashen with fear. I also see her mouth, "Mommy!" 15 days after the explosion, I finally traverse the city and get to my mother's home. However, all that welcomes me is a destroyed apartment and blood everywhere. 20 days after the explosion, my husband, Emmett Fairfield, calls me one last time from his office, which zombies have surrounded. He tells me not to leave the house. Less than a month after the apocalypse arrives, I lose all my family. I'm alone as I struggle to survive in this dead world. The spread of the virus triggers chaos in mankind. I exchange all my supplies to save a neighboring couple from bandits, leading them to safety in a secure zone where they can live stable lives. However, my kindness is not repaid. Three years after the explosion, the secure zone is under siege by a wave of zombies. As we retreat, my neighbors shove me underneath a car so I'll distract the zombies. Then, they make a run for it and get away. Trusted neighbors betray me. As the zombies eat away at me, I can feel death looming. All I want is to see my family again. Now, I've been reborn. I have six hours before the zombie apocalypse breaks out.

— "Porte quelque chose que je peux facilement retirer. On ne sait jamais." Le message fait monter une chaleur dans mes joues. Je tape ma réponse, mes doigts tremblants : "On verra." Tout a commencé par une odeur. Du romarin, du beurre qui grésille, et quelque chose de sucré s'infiltrant par ma fenêtre dans ce nouvel appartement parisien. Je venais de quitter Thomas, de tourner la page sur quatre années tièdes et confortables. Je cherchais un nouveau départ. Je ne m'attendais pas à trouver l'obsession. Matthieu Beaumont. Chef trois étoiles. Beau comme un péché. Intense comme un incendie. Notre histoire a commencé avec un repas partagé et un regard échangé à travers une cour intérieure. Elle a explosé dans une passion dévorante qui m'a consumée plus vite que je n'aurais cru possible. — "Goûte ça," murmure-t-il en me tendant une fourchette, ses yeux sombres ne quittant jamais les miens. "Et ferme les yeux." Le gémissement qui m'échappe le fait sourire ce sourire carnassier qui devrait m'effrayer mais qui, à la place, fait naître un feu dans mon ventre. — "Ce son," dit-il d'une voix rauque. — "J'ai envie de te l'entendre faire encore et encore. Mais pas pour de la nourriture." Trois jours. Il m'a fallu trois jours pour tomber amoureuse d'un homme que je connaissais à peine. C'est l'histoire d'un chef qui cuisine comme il fait l'amour : avec une intensité qui vous laisse pantelant et en redemandant. Ceci est notre histoire. Crue. Honnête. Pimentée.

Di bagian timur Kota New York ada dua ahli waris. Satu adalah maniak kecepatan yang mendominasi arena balap, satu lagi adalah aktuaris genius yang mengendalikan arus modal. Keduanya berasal dari keluarga terpandang dan sifat mereka berbeda jauh. Namun, mereka tumbuh bersama sejak kecil dan menjadi satu-satunya sahabat sejati. Mereka pernah berebut perhatian seorang gadis, juga berselisih karena taruhan di arena balap. Namun, saat berusia 15 tahun, mereka sama-sama menggantungkan sebuah lencana tembaga di dada. Itu adalah hasil latihan ukiran tangan dari Mia di kelas kerajinan, dengan sebuah huruf "M" yang tergores di bagian belakang. Saat itu, Mia duduk di bangku paling belakang kelas. Tak seorang pun tahu siapa identitas dia sebenarnya. Namun, kedua laki-laki itu mengenakan lencana tersebut selama 10 tahun penuh. Entah itu saat berdiri di podium juara F1 atau saat mengetukkan palu pada investasi triliunan di bursa, lencana tembaga murahan itu selalu menempel di dada mereka dan tak pernah tergantikan. Sampai akhirnya muncul Ella. Putri kesayangan dari keluarga konglomerat baru. Ella menyulam sebuah emblem kain berhiaskan benang emas dan memberikannya kepada mereka. Kain itu cuma benda biasa yang mirip dengan pernak-pernik murahan yang dijual di pasar loak. Namun, mereka malah sama-sama melepas lencana tembaga itu dan menggantinya dengan kain murahan yang diberikan Ella. Mia tidak mengatakan apa pun. Dia hanya diam-diam menyimpan foto lama mereka yang tercetak di sebuah koran usang. Malam itu juga, dia menelepon ayahnya yang jauh di Sisilia. Nada bicaranya sangat tenang saat berkata, "Papa, aku menerima pernikahan politik ini."

Politics. That's the reason why I'm here sitting on a long dining table with the family of my father's best friend and with their kids. Aurelia sighed with boredom as she watch her parents to arrange her marriage to someone she doesn't like. Xavier, the son of her father's bestfriend. She doesn't like him. First and only reason because he's a womanizer, he bedded a lot of woman already. "Can we go now?" Aurelia asked in a plain tone. "I'm tired and... Just tired." She added while playing with her untencils. "Aurelia, honey, don't you want to talk to Xavier first and get to know him?" Her mother, Selene Miller asked. "Nope. I already know him." She said and she looked at him. He's lips curved with cocky smile. "You already know him? Great! How did you know him?" His father, Thomas Andrada asked. "I met him with some sluts stories on how he fuck different women." She said while looking at him. Well she can not blame the girls for having a crush or infatuation over him. He's hot, handsome, billionare with his own money, and based on stories he's good in bed. The thing is he's ruthless and possesive when it comes to women. "I see that's how you met me." He said in a flirty way. It's like he's proud of himself. Aurelia just rolled her eyes and stared at her father again her eyes asking to go home. "No, we need to finish the food. Besides what's the rush? We're not on rush." Her father said with a firm tone. "And we will talk about your wedding for next week." Her mother said proudly. Her eyes widened. "Next week!?!" She said with a high tone. Hell this can't be real. She's getting married next week!
