Um Caso Secreto Com A Máfia

According to company policy, anyone who achieves the feat of being the top salesperson for three years in a row will receive a thousand-square-foot apartment as a bonus. To achieve this goal, I work day and night, chasing every order I can find. But once I finally meet the criteria, I'm told that the policy has been abolished. Saul Hurst, my direct superior, brushes me off with a bonus of 500 dollars instead. Smirking at me, he says, "Being good at sales is all well and good, but you still need to improve your understanding of the company's rules and values. "Young people need to stay humble and know their place. Don't keep trying to show off. It isn't good to constantly hog the spotlight." I don't lose my temper. Instead, I manage to stay unusually calm as I took the "massive bonus" I got in exchange for three years of hard work. Two days later, our company headquarters conducts its annual sales evaluation. When one of our clients offers me a sales deal worth eight million dollars, I turn it down on the spot. After all, I believe that part of what it means to be professional is to do as my superior says. Since I'm supposed to stay humble and know my place, I've chosen to keep a low profile and not do anything that puts me under the spotlight. Besides, even if our branch fails to meet the total sales target, I'm not the one who's going to be held accountable for that.

Mon petit ami, Miles, m’avait enfin invitée au dîner de Noël de sa famille. J’ai perdu connaissance en chemin. À moitié consciente, je l’ai entendu murmurer : « Désolé, Eva. Ces voyous ont dit que tu étais exactement le genre de fille de leur patron. Trop belle pour ton propre bien, bébé. Ce n’est pas ma faute, c’est à cause de ça. » « N’aie pas peur. Si tu m’aides à rembourser ma dette… peut-être qu’ils me laisseront te récupérer. Je me rattraperai. Pour le reste de ta vie, je te le jure. » Il m’a fait passer par l’arrière d’un casino en me poussant dans un fauteuil roulant. Le casino de ma famille. Et le patron à qui il était en train de me vendre… c’était mon frère. Depuis que nos parents sont morts dans une fusillade, mon frère avait pris sur lui l’entière responsabilité de ma vie. Il était devenu bien plus qu’un frère : une figure paternelle, un protecteur. Mon idiot de petit ami aurait dû avoir peur. Il n’avait pas la moindre idée de à quel point mon frère me protégeait farouchement, ni jusqu’où allait sa cruauté envers quiconque osait me faire du mal.

Mon frère est l'Alpha de la meute du Clair de Lune, et j'aurais dû être la petite louve la plus heureuse de toute la meute. Mais la compagne destinée de mon frère, Sélène, m'a accusée de l'avoir harcelée. Fou de rage, mon frère — le seul membre de ma famille qui me restait dans ce monde — m'a envoyée au Centre de Réhabilitation de la Meute, un endroit réservé aux jeunes criminels et loups délinquants. Pendant deux ans, j'y ai été maltraitée, jusqu'à perdre définitivement la capacité de me transformer. Je suis devenue la sœur docile qu'il avait toujours voulue. Mais quand il a découvert que j'avais perdu ma louve, que j'étais devenue une véritable Oméga, il est devenu fou. « Skye, je t'en supplie, appelle-moi encore une fois 'frère' ! »

Kieran Voss is my boyfriend, and his first love has slept with every one of his closest friends. Yet, she still manages to play the innocent little angel in front of him. I plan to expose her, especially after I accidentally uncover her biggest secret. But before I can, Chloe Bennett uses dark magic and somehow transfers all her physical reactions onto me. She's flirting with a man below the stage while I'm giving a company presentation. I can't help but let out a soft moan at the podium the moment his hand slips under her skirt. I become the shameless and indecent woman everyone despises. Despite this, my boyfriend goes against public opinion and proposes to me in front of everyone. Chloe spends ten hours in bed with ten men on our wedding day. Meanwhile, I collapse on stage and tremble uncontrollably in a white gown, my face burning red with heat. I die of heart failure from sheer excitement and carry a tarnished name even in death. As I open my eyes, I'm back to the moment I first discovered Chloe's secret. This time, I close my eyes and say "Don't worry, I swear I didn't see a thing."

J'ai pris une balle à la place de mon petit ami, Leo. À mon réveil, j'ai décidé de lui jouer un petit tour. Je lui ai dit que j'avais perdu la mémoire. Je voulais voir comment il réagirait. Mais j'ai plutôt vu une lueur d'excitation dans ses yeux. Et l'instant d'après, il a fait venir son cousin, Dante, le parrain de la famille. « Voici ton fiancé, Dante. Vous êtes fiancés depuis deux ans. » Dante, l'homme qui était censé me détester. À présent, il me regardait comme si j'étais tout son univers. « Oui », a-t-il dit. « Je suis ton fiancé. » Très bien. J'allais jouer le jeu. Je devais savoir à quel jeu Leo jouait. Cette nuit-là, je l'ai vu sur les images de vidéosurveillance du manoir de Dante. Leo, au lit avec une autre femme. Il l'embrassait comme s'il mourait de faim. Il la pénétrait. Et il disait du mal de moi. « Laisse mon cousin s'occuper de Bella pendant un moment. Elle est tellement exigeante. C'est toi dont j'ai vraiment besoin, Scarlett. » Mon cœur s'est brisé. Il m'avait refilée à un autre homme, juste pour pouvoir s'amuser. Très bien. Je pouvais jouer le même jeu. Je me trouverais un nouveau fiancé. J'ai enfilé la robe de mariée. J'ai embrassé Dante — un baiser profond et dévorant, juste devant Leo. Et alors, il s'est enfin effondré. Il a perdu la tête. Il m'a dit qu'il avait eu tort et m'a suppliée de revenir.

On the night of her birthday, Evelyn’s perfect marriage shattered. A single message. A hidden truth. And a betrayal waiting right beneath her own home. Her husband wasn’t just cheating, he was building a life with another woman behind her back. Divorce should have been simple. But walking away meant losing everything… including the only thing keeping her sister alive. Trapped in a marriage she can’t escape, Evelyn is forced to endure humiliation, lies, and a husband who now dares to bring his pregnant mistress into their home.

Her anger. Her breaking point and unlike her husband…He doesn’t pretend. “You don’t have to stay,” he tells her. “Come to me instead.” What starts as a dangerous temptation quickly turns into something far more complicated—something she can’t control. Because Damon doesn’t just want to help her. He wants to claim her. Now Evelyn must choose: Stay with the man who broke her…Or fall into the arms of the man who could ruin her completely. But in a world of power, betrayal, and desire—Who is really the danger?

It's my first day undercover at my future husband's dessert shop, and chaos walks in with fake lashes and two-inch nails. "I want an ice cream. Heated." I paused. "Just checking... You want your ice cream hot?" She gave me a look like I'd failed kindergarten. "Yes. Hot ice cream. Are you slow?" Deep breath. Zen mode. Customer-first service smile. "I'm sorry, ma'am. Ice cream has to stay frozen, or it just turns into—well... milk. If you want something warm, we have hot tea or coffee." "I'm pregnant!" she screeched. "Pregnant women crave weird things! Plus, my doctor said I can't eat anything cold! Are you trying to kill my baby and me? Is that what this is?!" People started turning their heads. Fantastic. A whole audience. I kept my voice low. "Ma'am, I can refund you." She suddenly smacked the counter, knocking the scanner sideways. Her nails shot past my face like tiny knives. "What kind of attitude is that?! A pathetic cashier talking back to me? I'll call my husband and get you fired!" Then, she leaned in like she was about to reveal a royal bloodline. "Guess what? I'm the boss's wife." I blinked. If that was true, I really needed to stop thinking about helping my boyfriend to open 3,000 franchise stores.

My roommates have booked booth seats at the New Year Countdown Light Show at the price of five thousand dollars per ticket. Soon, they begin urging me to transfer them my share of the payment on the group chat. I just send them a screenshot of the remaining balance in my bank account. "You guys have fun. I'm still saving up for my college tuition fees." Everyone just spams me with laughing messages instead. One of my roommates, Zane Lawson, even uploads a screenshot of our conversation to his social media feed together with a caption that says, "The first step of ascending to the next tier in social hierarchy is to stay away from party poopers like this." But as soon as 12:00 am is over, my roommates send me a photo of the light show. "It's such a shame that you aren't here." I'm still confused by the photo when I receive a phone call from the counselor, who sounds very anxious over the phone. "Did you buy tickets for your roommates to the light show? The organizers claimed that they never checked in at the entrance! Now, they've gone missing!"

She married Kane, an ordinary office worker with a handsome appearance who took care of cooking and cleaning at home while she pursued her acting career.
