Ma demi-sœur m’a accusée à tort d’être responsable de ses allergies, et, dans un accès de rage, mes trois frères m’ont enfermée dans une cave exiguë, sans lumière ni air. Ils ont même enchaîné la porte. J’ai frappé la porte de la cave, suppliant de toutes mes forces qu’on me laisse sortir. Alors que le frère aîné, un homme d’affaires d’élite, s’apprêtait à partir, une froide colère se lisait sur son visage : « Tu as l’habitude de maltraiter Zoé dans de petites histoires, mais je n’ai pas l’intention de t’embêter pour ça. Cette fois, tu savais que Zoé était allergique aux fruits de mer, et malgré cela, tu l’as laissée en manger. N’est-ce pas là une malveillance délibérée ? Tu ferais bien de réfléchir à ce que tu as fait ! » Le deuxième frère, récemment couronné Roi des Chants, et le troisième, un peintre talentueux, ont grogné : « Une personne aussi perfide que toi, qui trouve toujours des excuses, tu vas rester là-dedans, et que cela te serve de leçon ! » Après avoir dit ces mots, ils ont pris ma demi-sœur, tremblante, dans leurs bras et se sont précipités à l’hôpital. Peu à peu, l’air dans la cave se raréfiait. Chaque respiration devenait un combat. La suffocation m’a envahie, et bientôt, tout ce que j’avais ressenti s’est transformé en un calme absolu. Je suis morte, seule, dans cet espace clos. Trois jours plus tard, lorsqu’ils sont revenus de l’hôpital avec ma demi-sœur, ils se sont souvenus enfin de moi. Mais ils ont ignoré que, dans l’obscurité de cette cave étouffante, j’avais déjà succombé au manque d’oxygène.

Yo soy Isabela Cruz, hija del primer padrino de la Isla Santa Lucía. Crecí siendo rebelde, y mi padre, temiendo que por un arranque de impulsividad me casara con cualquier don nadie, decidió ordenar mi compromiso con Lucas Marino, heredero de la nueva y poderosa familia Marino. Aunque es un matrimonio político, al menos quería elegir mi propio anillo. Por eso asistí a la subasta privada de las familias mafiosas. Cuando el anillo de joya principal salió a la luz, levanté mi paleta de puja. Antes de que el martillo cayera, una voz femenina, arrogante y altiva, sonó a mi espalda: —¿Tú, una campesinita, quieres competir conmigo? ¡Doscientos mil! Si tienes dignidad, lárgate. El lugar quedó en un silencio repentino, roto solo por el clic sutil de las cámaras. Me giré y vi a una mujer con un vestido dorado de alta costura. Sonreía con desdén, como si toda la sala fuese su escenario personal. Antes de que pudiera responder, el subastador bajó el martillo con prisa. —¡Adjudicado! ¡Felicidades, señorita Sofía Duarte, por obtener el anillo estelar “Estrella Eterna”! Fruncí el ceño, sintiendo cómo me ardía el pecho. —¿Se puede cerrar una puja sin terminarla? Qué falta de reglas tiene este lugar. Sofía se volvió hacia mí, sus ojos recorriéndome de los pies a la cabeza con una frialdad cortante. —¿Reglas? —rió con desprecio—. Cariño, yo soy la ahijada favorita de Lucas Marino. Aquí, yo soy la regla. No pude evitar reír. Qué coincidencia tan divina: Lucas es justamente el nombre de mi prometido. Saqué el teléfono sin dudar. —Lucas, tu “ahijada” acaba de arrebatarme el anillo de compromiso que quería. Dime, ¿qué vas a hacer al respecto?

J'ai toujours eu l'impression que Travis Chancer avait été forcé de m'épouser. Chaque fois que nous étions ensemble la nuit, il préférait utiliser sa main pour me faire jouir plutôt que d'avoir des relations sexuelles avec moi. J'étais de plus en plus déçue et j'ai décidé de divorcer. Mais la veille où j'étais en train de préparer les papiers, je l'ai entendu sur le balcon parler à ses amis. « Mon pote, je ne veux pas être curieux, mais tu vas évidemment mourir d'envie de ça. Pourquoi tu ne la touches pas ? La femme parfaite est juste là. Ça doit être insupportable. » « Les femmes ne supportent pas d'être ignorées. Si tu continues à la refouler, elle finira par s'enfuir avec un autre homme, et tu le regretteras. » Il a pris une gorgée discrète de whisky. « Mais sa peau est si délicate, et sa taille si fine... Elle est tellement sensible. Et si je perdais le contrôle et que je lui faisais peur ? » « Elle est ma femme. Je dois être prudent. Si elle veut trouver du réconfort ailleurs, elle le peut. Tant qu'elle est toujours prête à rentrer à la maison, je continuerai à la gâter. » Ils ont ricané. « Ne fais pas le saint, mon pote. Si tu as du courage, arrête de poster en secret sur Reddit. » Tard dans la nuit, j'ai discrètement ouvert l'historique du navigateur de Travis. Une centaine d'entrées complètes. Il y a écrit : « J'ai enfin épousé la fille que j'aime depuis des années, mais j'ai une libido très élevée. Comment puis-je lui faire en profiter sans laisser de cicatrices psychologiques ? »

BLURB: After an extended silence, she gathered the courage to speak. “Mum, what do you mean? I have my life in Paris.” she implored, clutching her mother’s hand. Lois diverted her gaze, the moment slipping away. “Refusing my offer means also returning all the assistance I provided when your business was in trouble,” she said, rising to leave. “You have just 48 hours to agree to my terms, and remember, I dislike waiting.” Freja has always been in love with Clinton Blackwood before he married her twin sister and since then she has despised him.

" You think you can run away from me? In your wildest dreams." A cold smile formed on his lips and every word he uttered exuded power.

Her cheating husband took her inheritance, her dignity, her life. High society turned her into a joke, until Mavros Blackwood made her his own.

They say tough situations don't last, but tough people do. They are bloody liars, whoever said that. My tough situation didn't make me stronger. It pushed me into the arms of Elias Thorne. CEO of Blackwood Holdings. One of the richest men in the country. And, apparently, my fake husband. I'm just a contract wife. A transaction. He needs me to secure his standing in the company. He hates me and I don't care. I need his money, his influence, his resources, anything to save my mother's and sister's life. Forty-five days. Then I walk away. That was the deal. No love or feelings. Just business. But a penthouse is smaller than it looks. And forced proximity has a way of cracking open doors you swore you locked up. He has his own wounds. His own ghosts. And sometimes, when he looks at me, I swear he's not seeing a contract at all. Forty-five days. Either we walk away untouched. Or we burn.

I am Serena Blake, a young woman who believed love could conquer anything. But for Ethan Blackwood, I was just a temporary convenience, a wife to be discarded. Three years of cold treatment, silent humiliation, and empty promises ended the day he handed me divorce papers… while I was carrying his child. I vanished, swallowed my heartbreak, and rebuilt myself from nothing. Now, five years later, I return no longer the powerless woman he abandoned, but a self-made business strategist with secrets of my own… and a child he never knew existed. Ethan watches helplessly as I rise, as others admire what he once rejected, and as the truth of my survival slowly shatters his perfect world. He wants me back. He wants forgiveness. He wants the family he never valued. But I’ve learned that power isn’t given, it’s taken. And this time, the woman he lost holds all the cards. Will Ethan finally realize what he threw away, or is it too late for regret to undo the past?

To keep my mother safe, I bind myself to the strongest pack in the region. My new home comes with three stepbrothers I never asked for: the Triplet Alphas. Untouchable. Cruel. From day one, they make me their target, taunting me in the halls of Silver Creek Academy, reminding me I’m nothing but a charity case in their world. I survive by building walls around my heart. Until the devastating truth shatters everything: they aren’t just my tormentors. They are my fated mates. Theron, the wild one, now hunts me with a hunger that terrifies me. Lysander, the quiet storm, watches like I’m his next obsession. And Cassian, the eldest, the leader refuses to even look my way. Two want to claim me. One wants to break me. But fate doesn’t care what any of us want. When secrets buried beneath Blackwood Manor begin to surface, I realize the danger was never just in their cruelty. It’s in the bond that could destroy us all, and in the truth of what I really am.
