Le jour où je me suis effondrée et où on m'a diagnostiqué un cancer en phase terminale, c'était notre vingt-deuxième anniversaire, celui de ma sœur jumelle, Julie, et moi. J'ai quitté l'hôpital en ignorant les recommandations des médecins, juste pour passer un dernier anniversaire insouciant avec ma famille. Mais quand je suis arrivée à la fête, le serveur m'a arrêtée à la porte et m'a informée que le lieu avait été réservé pour l'anniversaire de la fille de la famille Thomas et que les étrangers n'étaient pas autorisés à entrer. À travers la vitre, j'ai vu mon frère portant le gâteau, mon père mettant un chapeau d'anniversaire sur Julie, et même mon petit ami, tout sourire, regardant Julie faire un vœu. Après être restée là pendant une demi-heure, mon petit ami a enfin répondu à mon appel. « Je viens d'aller à l'hôpital, maintenant… » Il a interrompu mes paroles : « Aurélie, tu es toujours en bonne santé. Aujourd'hui c'est l'anniversaire de Julie, on en parlera plus tard. » Alors, ce n'était pas aussi mon anniversaire aujourd'hui ? Tout simplement parce que notre mère était morte d'une hémorragie en me mettant au monde. Les médecins avaient aussi dit que j'avais pris les nutriments de Julie dans le ventre et que cela l'avait rendue fragile depuis son enfance. Tout le monde pensait donc que je devais toujours céder à Julie, née cinq minutes avant moi. J'ai froissé mon diagnostic et je l'ai jeté à la poubelle, décidant de ne plus souffrir de leur favoritisme. Puisque je n'avais jamais reçu leur amour, j'ai choisi de partir pour toujours.

Turning my gaze up to the sky, I made up my mind. “If something doesn’t change in the next five days, then I’m going to take my life.” Savannah Reed’s--illegitimate daughter of the Alpha King of Hybern—life had always been rough due to her status. Everyone saw her as the weakling with no powers and no mother. One day, her pain and humiliation got too much to bear and she dared the moon goddess, asking for a miracle or she’d kill herself. The moon goddess heard her words and in some way, she gave her a way out, as Savannah was arranged to marry the prince of Sylvia, for an alliance. The only problem was that... there were rumors…rumors that Prince Reginald was a villain. Was this Savannah’s salvation or her nemesis?

I’m the best art forger and intel specialist in Chicago. And I fell for the man who owned it all, Don Vincenzo Russo. For ten years, I was his secret, his weapon, and his woman. I built his empire from the shadows. I thought I’d get a ring. After all, every night he was in this city, he was buried inside me, taking his pleasure. He’d whisper that I was his, that no one else felt this good. But this time, after he was finished with me, he announced he was marrying the Russian Bratva princess, Katerina Petrov. That’s when I knew. I wasn’t his woman. I was just a body. For an alliance, for her, he sacrificed me. He left me to die. So I destroyed every piece of the life he gave me. I made one call to my father in Italy. And then, I vanished. But when the Don who owned Chicago couldn't find his favorite toy… he went insane.

Elara Moretti never dreamed her wedding would feel like a funeral. Given away by the only family she’s ever known, she’s forced into a cold, loveless marriage to Mateo Navarro—the feared heir to a powerful mafia empire. He’s everything she was taught to fear: ruthless, dominant, and utterly unbothered by the tears of a wife he never wanted. In the Navarro estate, silence is survival. So Elara learns to be silent. He humiliates her in front of his mistresses. She lowers her head. He uses her as a symbol of control. She pretends not to feel. But every day in Mateo’s home chips away at the girl Elara used to be. Elara may look fragile... but something inside her refuses to break. And while Mateo rules his world with an iron fist, he’s about to learn that not every pawn stays in place. Because the most dangerous kind of woman… is the one who learns to watch, wait, and never forget.

Nigel Herrera, playboy, playful, but sweet. Matangkad, maputi, may kakapalan ang kilay, light brown eyes, and pink lips, a drop dead gorgeous that will make every woman's undies drop. Sa dami ng mga babaeng dumaan sa buhay niya ay wala siyang matandaan kung ano ang pangalan ng isa sa kanila. Lumaking busog sa pagmamahal ng magulang. Lexie Mae Thompson, frank and straightforward.

At ang candidate na nakita nila ay ang mapaglarong si Nigel. He accepted her offer cheerfully, from that day on- they always entangled their naked body under the sheets.

He caught hold of her leg and yanked backwards. She hung on and flailed both legs, kicking him in the head, the face. He fought to hold her legs down. Sweat lathered her hands. They slipped from the post. He yanked again. She rolled over to face him and punched with both fists. Her right fist caught him in the eye. He growled in pain, then threw himself on top of her, pinning her arms and legs. She screamed.She strained to free herself, lunged up to bite him. He jerked backwards. They slid down one stair. She tried to scream again. He slapped a palm over her mouth, his breath hot on her face.She fought him until they had tumbled down every stair. By the time they reached the bottom, every ligament burned. She stared at him wide-eyed, gasping for breath between his bruising fingers.She trembled violently, longed to run again but knew it would do no good. He stood at a good seven inches taller and outweighed her by at least fifty pounds. She didn't stand a chance.All she could do now was placate him. Do what he wanted... no matter what it was!
