Two Can Play That Game 2

Que feriez-vous face à un monstre marin qui vous sauve de la noyade ? Le fuir ? Le chasser ? Ou bien... le connaître ? C'est le choix que devra faire Sky Brixton, une jeune fille au passé meurtrier.

À quarante ans, Reine pense avoir trouvé la sérénité en épousant Richard, un homme doux et attentionné de vingt ans son aîné. Mais cette tranquillité est mise à mal lorsque Gabriel, le fils de Richard, débarque pour passer l'été sous leur toit. Gabriel, vingt-cinq ans, est tout ce que Reine exècre : arrogant, cynique, et il ne lui adresse que des regards glacés et des piques assassines. Il lui reproche d'avoir épousé son père pour son argent et voit en elle une opportuniste. La tension entre eux est palpable, un mélange explosif de mépris et d'une attraction indéniable qu'ils luttent farouchement de dissimuler. Tout bascule lors d'un orage violent, alors que Richard est absent. Une dispute particulièrement violente les laisse seuls, trempés et frémissants de rage. Les insultes cèdent soudain la place à un silence lourd, puis à un baiser sauvage et libérateur. Ce premier contact est l'antichambre d'une passion dévorante et interdite. Ils se retrouvent en secret, transformant leur haine en un désir brut et obsessionnel. Les combats d'arguments deviennent des joutes sensuelles, chaque réconciliation est célébrée sur les draps froissés de l'alcôve la plus proche. Ils explorent leurs corps et leurs limites, découvrant que sous la rancœur se cache une complicité inattendue et une vulnérabilité partagée. Mais l'ombre de Richard plane sur leur liaison. Chaque mensonge pèse lourd sur la conscience de Reine, déchirée entre son affection pour son mari et sa passion déraisonnée pour Gabriel. Ce dernier, quant à lui, doit affronter son propre ressentiment envers son père et les sentiments complexes qui le lient à la femme qu'il était censé haïr. Leur histoire peut-elle survivre à la trahison et au poids du secret, ou n'était-elle qu'un feu de paille, condamné à se consumer dans la culpabilité ?

'Duda' Sebutan itu tersemat untuk seorang Devano Zayn Ganendra sekarang. Bohong jika Devan baik-baik saja setelah ditinggalkan oleh Disya. Lelaki itu sampai tumbang, berbaring di rumah sakit untuk beberapa pekan karena sakit fisik... juga hati sebenarnya. Ditinggalkan Disya benar-benar berdampak buruk untuk Devan. Apa yang sudah dilakukan oleh Devan untuk membuat istri kecilnya kembali? Tidak ada! Devan tidak melakukan apapun selama tiga tahun ini, bukannya tidak ingin berusaha... Devan merasa Disya memang tidak mau memaafkannya, apalagi kembali menjadi istrinya. Belum lagi sekarang Disya mempunyai Kakak laki-laki yang begitu amat protektif dan posesif. Devan tidak takut, hanya saja posisi lelaki itu lebih darinya, dalam artian lebih tinggi posisi terpenting dalam hidup Disya setelah Ayahnya, sekarang. Sulit! Sangat sulit. "Sudah tiga tahun 'kan? Tidak ingin kembali dengan Disya? Setidaknya kembali perkenalkan dirimu seolah-olah kau adalah orang baru—seorang Devano dengan versi yang lebih baik. Masuk ke dalam kehidupannya lagi dengan perlahan-lahan dan hati-hati, yakinkan hati Disya kembali untuk bisa bersamamu. Dulu, jalanmu terlalu gampang untuk bersama Disya, mungkin kali ini Tuhan ingin kamu lebih berusaha untuk mendapatkan Disya kembali, supaya kamu berpikir beberapa kali jika ingin membuatnya menangis." Seseorang mengatakan itu kepada Devan. Perkataannya berhasil membuat Devan kembali mendapatkan kepercayaan dan keyakinan diri yang lebih besar untuk mendapatkan kembali cintanya. Mungkin benar apa katanya, kali ini jalan untuk mendapatkan hati Disya lebih susah dan sulit, akan ada banyak rintangan dan badai yang datang. Tapi... Devan memang harus melewatinya jika ingin kembali mendapatkan hati Disya, 'kan? Akankah Devan berhasil? ***

The King’s game is a match meant to be played by the strongest of warriors which was going to determine who the King’s next shadow is going to be. To exact her revenge on the King for her sister’s death years ago, Gabriella had chosen this very position. She had prepared herself for several years, training more than anyone would and just when she advanced into the finals, the goddess blessed/cursed her with a mate. A distraction she didn’t need at that point of her life. And there, when she thought that was the worst thing that could probably happen to her, she mistakenly sleeps with the King. The very enemy she has vowed to destroy. Now he won’t leave her alone. The Devil King had marked her as prey and he was going to play with her until she gives up. But Gabriella has never been one to give up. What happens when she begins to fall for her enemy and not her mate?

The day Jessica Smith and I went to pick out our wedding rings, her long-lost first love unexpectedly returned to town. When we went to pick him up from the airport, she introduced me to him, saying, "This is Sebastian Grant, a friend." Jessica made it clear that I wasn't her fiancé. She even went a step further and called off our engagement party scheduled for the next day. Just when she thought I would fight and insist on marrying her, I suddenly said in relief, "Your best friend previously wanted to hook up with me, you know? And honestly, I was kind of interested."

"Please tell them it's a lie," I whispered in my quivering voice and looked up into his eyes. They were cold. Emotionless. "This marriage isn't one from my end." He crashed his lips into mine taking them for a dominant, rough kiss. My eyes teared up as the scenes of my tortured future flashed in my mind. "Welcome to hell Rachel. I warned you not to play with me." His bone-chilling voice rang in my ears. What will happen when Vincenzo forces himself into Rachel's life? Where will this forced marriage lead them to? Vincenzo is ruthless and cold. Doesn't care about consequences and certainly doesn't accept denials. Rachel is innocent but not submissive. Her confident attitude makes her appealing to the mafia king who wants to tame her.

I go to the boutique my son has invested in to pick up the gown I've ordered for a banquet. Just as I'm about to leave, the manager, Wendy Reed, stops me and says that I still owe them money. She pulls out the bill. I look down at it and see that the boutique is charging me 300 thousand dollars for their creativity, 500 thousand dollars for fabric therapy, and one million dollars for their chief designer's mental wellness. On top of other expenses, the price totals up to two million dollars. I laugh incredulously and send a message to my secretary. "Withdraw our funding from my son's company and this boutique!"

“I want you, Lyra. Since the day I saw you at that bastard’s place, I’ve wanted you. It might have taken me a long time to realize it, but let me be a part of your life…” He struggled for a moment, “…and this baby. Our baby.” ************************************* Lyra Lockwood, former princess and the last of her kind, had unknowingly connived with her mate to kill her parents, only to end up rejected. Six years later, the Wolf King visits her pack, sees her, and demands she participate in his Luna choosing game—a game where one woman emerges as his Luna. But for years, all the women who participated have died. For years, rumors swirled that the Wolf King was the one killing them. For years, Raphael had not seen a woman like Lyra—someone who captured both him and his wolf from the moment they laid eyes on her. To Lyra, he was her master now, one she had to serve, just as she had served Edmund, her ex-mate. To Raphael, he wanted to know every inch of her—every scar, every line. Would Lyra accept him into her life after everything she’s been through? And could Raphael wait for her through it all? Find out.
