Then I will take you instead of money.” He then carried her on his back and took her away.

I was pinned against the wall, his handsome face getting closer and closer to me. I focused my attention on his grey eyes, which were cold and menacing. I gasped when he tightened his grip on my hands above my head. His intimidating demeanor was undoubtedly frightening. But I was not ready to give in. I squirmed and grunted out, “Let me go.” “You are not allowed to tell me what I should do,” he hissed dangerously. “I do as I please,” he hissed threateningly. "And this... you and I. I'll decide whether or not to leave you." ----------------- Molly Sanders, an ambitious and independent woman, had been in love with Lance since she was a child.

" He stops mid rant as the band starts playing a cover of satellite by Nickelback, and I close my eye swaying to the opening notes. "Chilli?" Suddenly, Elias is back up on his feet, holding out his hand. "Hu?" Bewildered as I look up at him, "May I have this dance?" I look at Erin, who pulls a silly face and shrugs. "Umm," hesitant to his offer. "Come on, I know you like this song. Let's show them how it's done. Plus, it'll be nice not to have my feet stepped on at least once tonight. " he winks at me with a cheeky grin. His not wrong, I do love this song, and part of our training was learning all forms of ballroom dances. Taking a deep breath, I take his hand and let him lead me to the middle of the dance floor. I put my hand on his shoulder as his goes to my waist, which sent a spark through my nerves. Hu, weird, must be the rum and coke. We young wolves aren't allowed to drink much.

Le jour où je devais essayer des robes de mariée avec Charles Jaspier, le chef de la mafia que j'avais aimé pendant sept ans, je suis entrée avec le plus grand espoir dans la boutique en tenant un rapport de test de grossesse. Mais j'ai entendu par hasard une conversation qui a tout brisé. « L'enregistrement du mariage avec Ellis Olsen n'était qu'une mesure temporaire, » a-t-il déclaré calmement à son plus proche confident. « Mon frère est mort dans une fusillade. Elle était enceinte du seul héritier de la famille Jaspier. Sans statut légal, ni elle ni l'enfant y survivraient. » « Tout le monde les maltraiterait. » Un cigare entre les doigts, sa voix était froide, teintée d'impuissance. « Zoey Qandor ne peut pas posséder de statut légal - mais je peux lui donner tout le reste. Mon amour. Mon argent. Elle ne doit jamais l'apprendre. » J'ai saisi le rapport de teste de grossesse avec le cœur mort. Ma meilleure amie m'a aidée à créer une nouvelle identité pour que Charles ne me retrouve jamais et que je puisse disparaître de son monde. S'il ne pouvait pas offrir à mon enfant et à moi une famille complète, alors il valait mieux rompre net cet amour bâti sur la responsabilité et les mensonges, une fois pour toutes.

El día en que se suponía que iba a probarme vestidos de novia con Charles Jaspier, el líder de la mafia al que había amado durante siete años, entré en la boutique con el informe de una prueba de embarazo, con el corazón lleno de esperanza. En cambio, escuché una conversación que lo destrozó todo. —Registrar el matrimonio con Ellis Olsen fue una medida temporal —le dijo él con calma a su confidente más cercano—. Mi hermano murió en un tiroteo. Ella lleva al único heredero de la familia Jaspier. Sin un estatus legal, ni ella ni el niño sobrevivirían en esta familia. Todos los acosarían. Un puro reposaba entre sus dedos. Su voz era fría, con un matiz de resignación. —Zoey Qandor no puede tener un título, pero yo puedo darle todo lo demás. Mi amor. Mi dinero. Sin embargo, esto nunca debe llegar a sus oídos. Apreté el informe de embarazo, con el corazón hecho cenizas. Con la ayuda de mi mejor amiga, creé una nueva identidad —una que garantizaba que Charles nunca me encontraría— y desaparecí de su mundo. Si no podía darme a mí y a mi hijo una familia completa, entonces era mejor cortar este amor, cimentado sobre las responsabilidades y las mentiras, de una vez por todas.

No dia em que eu deveria experimentar vestidos de noiva com Charles Jaspier, o líder da máfia que eu amei por sete longos anos, entrei na boutique segurando o exame de gravidez com o coração transbordando de esperança. No entanto, ouvi uma conversa que acabou com tudo. — Casar com a Ellis Olsen foi só uma medida temporária — Charles falou com a maior calma do mundo para o seu confidente mais próximo. — Meu irmão morreu num tiroteio e ela tá carregando o único herdeiro dos Jaspier. Sem um status oficial, nem ela e nem a criança sobreviveriam nessa família. — Todo mundo ia pisar neles — o outro homem comentou, enquanto um charuto repousava entre os dedos de Charles. — A Zoey Qandor não pode ter o título de esposa, mas eu posso dar todo o resto pra ela. Meu amor, meu dinheiro... Só que ela não pode nem sonhar com isso — ele continuou, com a voz gelada e carregada de uma resignação que me deu náuseas. Apertei o exame de gravidez com força, sentindo meu coração virar cinzas ali mesmo. Com a ajuda da minha melhor amiga, tratei de criar uma identidade nova — uma que garantisse que o Charles nunca mais me encontrasse — e simplesmente sumi do mapa, deixando o mundo dele para trás. "Se ele não podia dar uma família de verdade pra mim e pro meu filho, então esse amor, que era todo baseado em mentiras e obrigações, tinha que acabar de uma vez por todas."

My boss had a new boyfriend called Eugene Larson. The first day he came to the office, he put on a great show of exerting his dominance. He deleted my number from my boss's phone right in front of me. Eugene waved his phone in front of me while playing innocently. "You can talk to me about anything you need to communicate to Tina, Mr. Sanders. I'll help you pass the message to her. I don't have much sense of security, so please don't mind this. It's to avoid any misunderstanding between us." I was hoping my boss, Tina Kayden, would be able to say something fair on my behalf, but all she did was stare at Eugene approvingly and adoringly throughout the conversation. She turned to me and said, "This is a pretty good plan, Mr. Sanders. Do take good care of Eugene from now on." As there was no way for me to reject her, I was forced to add Eugene's contact to my phone. However, the moment he had my number, he flooded my phone with messages. [Mr. Sanders, is the client you're meeting tomorrow with the surname Charleston a man or a woman?] [Where are you having the meeting tomorrow? Wear something casual tomorrow. It would be best if you avoid washing your face and hair. Otherwise, I would think you're trying to seduce my wife.] [I believe your relationship with Tina is innocent. You're not allowed to betray me because I'm treating you like my buddy!] [By the way, you have an extra duty from now on. You need to remind Tina every 30 minutes to send me a message telling me that she loves me.] As I read these ridiculous messages, I laughed in anger. I put my phone on silent mode and flung it to the side before going to bed. The next morning, I woke up to dozens of missed calls on my phone.
