Jane walked towards the forbidden building with a clenched fist. She looked scared at first but that didn't stop her curiosity about looking into the building she had been forbidden to reach. She looked back to see if any of the men were around to know of her sudden disappearance but nobody seemed to know since the alarm bells hadn't rung. She breathe out heavily and touched the door knob but before she could twist it open, her hand was yanked off it and she was pushed backward. She looked up only to meet the face of one person she had been trying to avoid. Allen stared coldly at the woman in front of him and stepped forward like a lion trying to stalk its prey. Jane looked terrified and gulped down with uneasiness. " What are you doing here? " Allen asked with his usual cold tone. " I was...uhm...just... " " Haven't I warned you not to step closer to this building huh? But it seems you are the stubborn pet. " Allen interrupted while continuing his walk towards her. " No...no, I was just being curious, that's all. " Jane replied as her back hits the wall. Allen trapped her in between. " Have you ever heard that curiosity kills the cat? " Allen smirked dangerously and Jane knew that she was in a long torture for the night. ______________ Don't miss out on this book. You will love it.

I was out for a long time. My eyes could not adjust easily and I felt a lot of pain throughout my whole body. I didn't know what was happening but surely I was somewhere in the dark. "That's ok, now sleep. Tomorrow you will feel better," someone woman voice said. Then I heard another male voice saying, "what has gotten into you? Now we are in deep shit." I couldn't listen to the conversation any longer as I have lost conciousness again. I groaned in agony as I felt myself waking again. I opened my eyes slowly but I could only see blurred. I noticed I had better sense of smell and I could hear better too. What's going on?I could hear a conversation that was outside the room I was locked in. "Please, do not tell anyone. It must have been the haze. It felt stronger then usual this time and I couldn't hold myself any longer. He was way too hot and I felt an unusual feeling like I was out of control." That was definitely Mei, but whom was she talking to? Also, what the hell is she? I couldn't forget last night's images. Fangs, shadows, and, blue eyes glowing at me, no, but then the second time they looked Red. Yes. I remember that. I was not going crazy.

In my first life, I was a fool. I was the perfect wife to a man who never looked at me, the loyal daughter to parents who sold me out, and the kind sister to a sibling who stole my future. I lived for them, suffered for them, and eventually, I died because of them, sent to my grave with a smile while they told me to be grateful. But death didn’t take.

I placed the divorce papers in front of Elias, expecting him to sign them with his usual cold indifference. After all, he’d spent years refusing my touch. Instead, the man who once despised me pinned me to the desk, his eyes burning with a dark, terrifying hunger I’d never seen before. He didn’t sign the papers. He ripped them to shreds with his bare hands. “You spent years begging for my love,” Elias growled, his grip bruising my waist. “Now that I’ve finally decided to give it to you, you think I’m going to let you leave? Over my dead body.”

Rocco Falcone, le Don de la famille Falcone et mon soi-disant mari, m'a raccroché au nez pour ce qui m'a semblé être la quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième fois. Après avoir reçu un diagnostic de leucémie, j'ai traîné mon corps ravagé jusqu'au cabinet de l'avocat de la famille. « Je viens pour le divorce », ai-je dit. … Quand Rocco l'a appris, il est arrivé dix minutes plus tard avec ma famille. À peine est-il entré qu'il m'a giflée. « Tu as utilisé la ligne d'urgence juste pour gâcher la grande soirée de Sofia ? Tu es devenue folle ? », a-t-il crié. Lily Marone, ma mère, m'a arraché le diagnostic des mains et l'a parcouru rapidement. Elle a laissé échapper un rire méprisant. « Tu as encore fait semblant d'être malade pour attirer l'attention ? Combien de mensonges as-tu racontés depuis que tu es enfant, Claire ? » Sofia Moretti tenait le bras de Rocco, les larmes aux yeux. « Pardonne-moi, Claire. Je n'aurais pas dû accepter ce poste. S'il te plaît, arrête de te faire du mal… et de faire du mal à Rocco. » J'ai essuyé le sang au coin de ma bouche, puis je me suis tournée de nouveau vers l'avocat. « Je n'avais plus de famille. Veuillez accélérer la procédure de divorce. J'ai besoin que tout soit réglé avant ma crémation, dans trois jours. »
