My fiancé, Luca, dragged me along to a party with his crew. We had barely walked through the door before his boys were hounding him to play "Seven Minutes in Heaven." "Angelina, babe, come join us!" Fiona, Luca’s "best friend" from back home, called out to me with a smirk. I shook my head and slipped onto a barstool, my fingers nervously tracing the rim of my glass. I watched them huddle in a circle, drawing cigar bands with names scribbled on them. Luca drew Fiona. They shared a laugh before disappearing into the storage room behind the bar. "Seven minutes! Starting... now!" someone hollered, followed by a chorus of whistles. But seven minutes came and went. The door stayed shut. Ten minutes. Fifteen. Twenty... I finally stood up, my heart hammering against my ribs, ready to see what was going on. Just then, I heard Luca’s friends whispering in a thick Sicilian dialect. "This American guy... her head is greener than a lemon tree in Palermo and she doesn’t even know it." "I bet Luca and Fiona are having the time of their lives in there right now." "Poor Boston girl. Look at her, sitting there like a loyal little dog. Hilarious." I froze. My blood turned to ice, and the air felt too thin to breathe. Suddenly, the storage room door creaked open. Luca walked out, wiping sweat from his brow, followed closely by Fiona, who was busy smoothing out her rumpled shirt. "Whoa, how was it? Seven minutes in heaven live up to the hype?" someone teased. Luca smirked, his eyes glazed with satisfaction. "Better. I didn't want to leave."

Nasa palengke ako ng may matandang babae na hindi ko kilala ang humawak sa kamay ko ng mahigpit. Agad ko na pinrotektahan ang baby bump ko, pero sinabi niya, “May naglagay ng swap spell sa iyo. Malapit na ilipat ang patay na bata sa katawan mo.” Sa tingin ko sinungaling siya, pero sinabi niya, “Bilisan mo at subukan pasukahin ang sarili mo. Dapat mo subukan isuka ang isdang kinain mo hanggang sa kaya mo.”

Mon mari Alpha, Ryder, avait toujours détesté entendre un chiot pleurer. Mais récemment, il a commencé à s'occuper du chiot nouveau-né de ma sœur adoptive, restant à ses côtés dans la nurserie chaque nuit jusqu'à l'aube. Chaque fois que Ryder quittait notre chambre pour aller dans celle du bébé, une douleur lancinante et inexplicable me transperçait la poitrine. Cette agonie durait toute la nuit, jusqu'à son retour à l'aube. J'avais finalement atteint mon point de rupture. Lors du festival de la pleine lune, j'avais annoncé devant toute la meute que je rejetais notre lien d'âme sœur. Le lien mental de la meute s'était saturé de murmures, indiquant que la bataille avait endommagé mon esprit. Une lueur dorée s'était allumée dans les yeux de Ryder tandis qu'il me fixait avec incrédulité. « Parce que j'étais trop occupé pour prendre de tes nouvelles quand tu étais blessée, tu rejettes notre lien à cause d'un chiot de six mois ? » Je n'avais pas croisé son regard. Mon œil s'était plutôt attardé sur la légère trace de rouge à lèvres estompée à l'intérieur de son col. Ma voix tremblait, mais elle ne vacillait pas. « Puisque tu aimes tant son chiot, une fois notre lien rompu, tu pourras ouvertement être le père. »

Je m’appelle Amanda Hayes, 24 ans, et ma vie a basculé le jour où j’ai signé ce contrat. Tout a commencé par un stage chez Black Industries, l’entreprise la plus prestigieuse de Londres. J’étais fière, naïve, convaincue que c’était ma chance. Mais le premier jour, j’ai entendu une conversation que je n’aurais jamais dû surprendre : des noms, des chiffres, des menaces, des mots comme « cartel », « livraison », « accident propre ». J’ai voulu m’enfuir, mais Cameron Black le PDG, 32 ans, 1m93 de glace et de danger m’a coincée dans son bureau du 67e étage. Il savait que j’avais tout entendu. Il m’a tendu deux contrats : un NDA blindé, et un second… qui me liait à lui, corps et âme, 24h/24. Obéissance totale. Disponibilité immédiate. En échange, il effaçait le risque que je représente. Refuser ? Un « accident » pour moi, et peut-être pour ma famille. J’ai signé, les mains tremblantes, parce que j’avais peur. Parce que je n’avais pas le choix. Depuis, je vis dans une cage dorée qu’il appelle « protection ». Un appartement luxueux qu’il m’a imposé, une garde-robe qu’il a choisie, une surveillance constante. Je sais qu’il est un chef mafieux. Et pourtant, quand il me touche, quand il me protège avec une possessivité qui me terrifie et m’enflamme, je ne sais plus où est la limite entre la peur et le désir. Il dit que je suis en danger à cause de secrets que je ne comprends pas encore. Mais chaque jour, je sens que je m’enfonce plus profondément dans son monde sombre, dans ses bras qui me serrent trop fort, dans ce contrat qui n’est plus seulement sur le papier.

Chaque nuit à 23h47, Lila reçoit une lettre. Pas d’expéditeur. Pas d’enveloppe. Juste des mots. Des mots qui la connaissent trop bien. Des secrets qu’elle n’a jamais racontés. Des souvenirs qu’elle pensait avoir oubliés. Et toujours la même phrase à la fin : “Ne regarde pas derrière toi.” Qui est-il ? Pourquoi elle ? Et surtout… que cache-t-elle elle-même derrière ses silences ? Entre obsession, amour interdit et vérité dangereuse, Lila va découvrir que parfois… le passé ne veut pas rester enterré.

Mi novia insistió en que su mejor amiga nos acompañara de vacaciones, pero lo que no sabe es que Ivanna es una mujer bien descarada que se puso una tanga solo para estarme provocando...

It was meant to be the happiest night of Layla’s life—her birthday, the moment she officially stepped into adulthood. Instead, she walked into a crowded nightclub and watched her boyfriend laugh, drink, and kiss another girl while the world looked on. Humiliation followed swiftly. Dragged into a cruel game of Truth or Dare, Layla became the night’s entertainment. When the bottle landed on her, the challenge sounded harmless enough: seven minutes in heaven with a man of her choice. Everyone expected her to choose him. She didn’t. Her gaze went to the man watching silently from the shadows—his uncle. The one man she was never supposed to want, yet couldn’t look away from. Seven minutes was all it took to spark something forbidden. Something dark. Something that refused to stay contained. When the night ended, nothing returned to normal. He became her obsession and most dangerous temptation. And Layla found herself willing to risk everything—family, reputation, even her own heart—for a man she was never meant to desire. This is a story of betrayal, passion, and the pull of a love that should never exist. Once caught in it, there is no turning back.
