We Begin At The End

At the dinner celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary, I held the pregnancy test report in my pocket, planning to surprise my CEO husband. However, the moment the doors opened, I froze. A stunning woman stood there with her arm intimately linked through my husband's. She clung to Charles Lawrence with the ease and confidence of someone who clearly belonged at his side, carrying herself like the lady of the house. Neither Charles nor the guests found it strange. If anything, they seemed entertained. Someone even joked, "Mr. Lawrence and Ms. Cooper aren't just ideal partners at work. Their chemistry is something to admire as well. I've personally reserved the presidential suite at Jubilee City's finest resort for Mr. Lawrence tonight. You can be sure no one will disturb you." Fiona blushed and slipped shyly into Charles's arms. He lowered his head and kissed her hard. They fit together so naturally, so intimately, that the sight was unbearably glaring. My thoughts flashed back to the night before, when Charles had pressed me into the bed. In that moment, I had caught sight of a strange message sent by someone named Fiona: [Everyone in the company thinks we've slept together.] Charles had explained that Fiona was only his assistant, a forty-year-old woman, and that the message was nothing more than a punishment from a lost game, a foolish dare. That explanation had dissolved my suspicion and anger. Then, I finally saw the truth. I was the one who had lost everything. Inside my pocket, the pregnancy report was crushed into a tight ball. I forced the tears back, stepped away, and opened the invitation from the National Aerospace Research Institute on my phone. Without hesitation, I tapped Accept. Three days later, I would vanish completely from Charles's world.

« Sors-moi cette ordure. Et que le feu nettoie son passage. » La sentence est tombée de ses lèvres, ces mêmes lèvres qui, quelques heures plus tôt, me juraient un amour éternel. Mon âme sœur. Mon destin. Mon bourreau. En une nuit, il a tout pris : mon innocence, mon titre d'héritière de la meute, ma dignité. Après m'avoir poignardée, il a voulu me réduire en cendres. Fin de l'histoire ? Non. C'est là que la vraie tragédie commence. Ma chute m'a jetée directement dans la gueule du loup. Littéralement. Je suis devenue la propriété du Roi Lycan. On le dit fou. On chuchote qu'il a perdu la raison il y a des lunes. On le craint plus que la peste, plus que la mort elle-même. Il incarne le froid, l'impitoyable, la force brute. Son regard seul promet la souffrance. Et ce monstre prétend que je lui appartiens. Sa bête, cette chose sombre qui habite en lui, m'a choisie. Elle me désire avec une obsession qui glace le sang. Il est décidé à me plier à sa volonté, même si cela doit signifier me briser os par os, briser ce qui reste de mon âme. Maintenant, esclave dans son palais de ténèbres, je dois trouver la force de lui résister. Je suis prise au piège de son jeu pervers, dominée par ses griffes sombres. Mais chaque fois qu'il me regarde, je vois autre chose que de la cruauté dans ses yeux. Je vois une reconnaissance. Une connexion. Et c'est cela, le plus terrifiant : comment lutter contre un homme qui, au plus profond de sa folie, voit en moi bien plus qu'une captive ? Comment nier ce lien primal qui, malgré la haine et la peur, commence doucement, inexorablement, à nous unir ?
