Introduction

Acht maanden zwanger, wordt Cecily's kind door haar man Darian afgewezen en eist hij een scheiding. Misverstanden vertroebelen hun verleden, maar vijf jaar later keert Cecily terug als een gerenommeerde arts met hun kind. Darian kan de charme van zijn ex-vrouw niet weerstaan en beseft dat hij nog steeds van haar houdt. Vol spijt smeekt hij om hertrouwen, maar wordt geconfronteerd met Cecily's ijzige reactie: "Wil je met me trouwen? Sluit achteraan in de rij!"

(Ik raad ten zeerste een meeslepend boek aan dat ik drie dagen en nachten niet kon wegleggen. Het is ongelooflijk boeiend en een absolute aanrader. De titel van het boek is "Gemakkelijk Scheiden, Moeilijk Hertrouwen". Je kunt het vinden door ernaar te zoeken in de zoekbalk.)

Chapter 1

Cecily klemde haar gezwollen buik vast en worstelde om Darian's broekspijp te grijpen. Ze keek naar hem op, haar bleke gezicht doordrenkt van het zweet.

"Darian! Je kunt dit niet doen! Dit is ons kind, het kind is onschuldig!" Ze beet hard op haar lip terwijl golven van intense pijn haar overspoelden.

Nog maar een paar momenten geleden was ze gedwongen een abortuspil te nemen, en haar man Darian had erbij gestaan en alles gezien.

"Cecily, je hebt me ertoe gebracht met je te trouwen en hebt ervoor gezorgd dat Ophelia's kind stierf. Je moet boete doen voor je zonden!" Darian keek haar kil aan.

"Ik heb je al ontelbare keren verteld, ik heb Ophelia's kind niet geschaad! Waarom geloof je me niet?" Cecily verdedigde zich wanhopig. "Red het kind, red hem."

"Waarom blijf je liegen? De persoon die gepakt is, heeft bekend dat jij alles hebt georganiseerd! Ophelia's kind was acht maanden ver, en jij hebt ervoor gezorgd dat het in de baarmoeder stierf! Hoe kun je zo wreed zijn?" Darian duwde haar weg en keek met minachting op haar neer.

Cecily's bleke lippen trilden; de pijn die ze in haar hart voelde was veel erger dan de fysieke pijn.

Ophelia was degene van wie Darian hield, en om Ophelia te wreken, had hij niet geaarzeld om Cecily's kind te schaden!

Cecily had Darian ontelbare keren uitgelegd dat ze Ophelia niet had geschaad, maar hoeveel ze ook uitlegde, hij geloofde haar nog steeds niet.

Vervolgens gooide Darian een echtscheidingscontract in haar gezicht en zei meedogenloos: "Onderteken het."

Cecily's gezicht werd nog bleker. Ze klemde haar acht maanden zwangere buik vast en stond trillend op, steunend op het nachtkastje.

Ze hield het echtscheidingscontract stevig vast, haar bloeddoorlopen ogen gericht op Darian. "Ik zal van je scheiden! Als je me niet gelooft en Ophelia wilt wreken, prima!

"Maar dit kind is ook bloed van de familie Fitzgerald! Darian, hoe kun je je eigen kind vermoorden?"

Darian's diepe ogen staarden haar aan. De lucht om hen heen leek beetje bij beetje te bevriezen.

Hij wierp een blik op haar gezwollen buik en sneerde, "Wat als het kind dat je draagt niet van mij is?"

Cecily verstijfde onmiddellijk, toen sneerde ze, "Wat een grap is dat?"

"Tijdens opa Owen's verjaardagsfeest deed Ophelia een lustopwekkend middel in je drankje, en je eindigde in de kamer van een andere man. Ik was niet de man die die nacht met je de liefde bedreef."

Een flits van paniek trok over Cecily's ogen. Ze kon het niet geloven en greep Darian's kraag stevig vast.

"Ongelooflijk, je liegt tegen me! Het was duidelijk jij die nacht, en je hebt altijd toegegeven dat dit kind van jou was."

Tijdens hun drie jaar huwelijk had Darian zelden de liefde met haar bedreven, maar de lichaamsbouw en geur van de man die nacht hadden haar ervan overtuigd dat het Darian was.

"Ophelia heeft je gedrogeerd, dus ik voelde me schuldig en gaf toe dat het kind van mij was."

Cecily's pupillen vernauwden zich scherp. Terwijl ze naar Darian's woorden luisterde, vormde zich een gedachte in haar hoofd.

"Dus je wist vanaf het begin dat ze me had gedrogeerd, maar je beweerde dat het kind van jou was om haar te beschermen?"

Darian fronste zijn wenkbrauwen. Hij wist hier eerst niets van; hij had het pas ontdekt na onderzoek. Hij was woedend en had Ophelia berispt, die zich ook realiseerde dat ze een fout had gemaakt.

In werkelijkheid was hij die nacht ook dronken geweest en had hij een fout gemaakt door seks te hebben met Ophelia, wat had geleid tot haar zwangerschap.

Darian keek naar Cecily, met een vleugje schuldgevoel in zijn ogen, maar bood geen uitleg. "Ja."

Een scherpe en luide klap galmde in zijn oren. Darian was een moment verbijsterd, en al snel verspreidde een brandende pijn zich over zijn gezicht.

Cecily verdroeg de ondraaglijke pijn in haar buik en gebruikte al haar kracht om die klap uit te delen.

Hij was harteloos! Ze was zijn vrouw, en toch liet hij Ophelia dit haar aandoen!

"Darian, geloof jij in karma? Dat Ophelia haar kind verloor, is haar karma! Jij zult ook je karma krijgen!" schreeuwde Cecily.

"Toen heb je misbruik gemaakt van mijn auto-ongeluk en coma en heb je trucs gebruikt om Ophelia weg te jagen en mijn vrouw te worden! Natuurlijk haat Ophelia je." Darian's ogen werden steeds sinisterder terwijl hij naar haar keek nadat hij geslagen was.

Zijn woorden waren zo absurd dat Cecily niet wist of ze moest lachen of huilen.

Ze had trucs gebruikt om Ophelia weg te jagen en zijn vrouw te worden? Wanneer had ze zoiets ooit gedaan?

Destijds had zijn auto-ongeluk geleid tot nierfalen, en zij had een nier gedoneerd om hem te redden.

Als beloning had Owen ermee ingestemd dat ze met Darian mocht trouwen, met als enige voorwaarde dat ze Darian niets mocht vertellen over de nierdonatie.

Op dat moment had Ophelia, die verloofd was met Darian, gehoord over zijn ongeluk en de mogelijkheid dat hij in een vegetatieve staat zou verkeren. Ze had snel de verloving verbroken en was het land ontvlucht. Dat was de waarheid!

Een koude rilling trok door Cecily's ogen terwijl ze naar Darian's kille gezicht keek en met opeengeklemde tanden sprak, "Darian, ik heb je nooit iets verschuldigd!"

Darian fronste zijn wenkbrauwen en keek toe hoe ze langzaam naar buiten liep.

Cecily was nu acht maanden zwanger. De abortuspil was niet genoeg geweest om haar kind direct te doden, maar haar vruchtwater was gebroken en de pijn was ondraaglijk, wat betekende dat het kind op het punt stond geboren te worden.

Ze moest onmiddellijk naar het ziekenhuis!

Buiten klonk plotseling een oorverdovende donderslag, waardoor Cecily's hart opnieuw hevig trilde.

"Cecily, onthoud, zodra je die deur uitloopt, hebben we niets meer met elkaar te maken." Darian keek naar haar verwarde en paniekerige gestalte. "We zullen gescheiden zijn."

Cecily's ogen vulden zich met diepe wanhoop. Ze haalde diep adem en sloot haar ogen.

Hoe belachelijk, hij was zo harteloos tegen haar, en toch had ze zo diep van hem gehouden!

Zonder op hem te wachten om verder te praten, klemde Cecily haar tanden op elkaar en liep alleen naar buiten.

Darian's ogen vernauwden zich.

Probeerde ze zichzelf te doden door nu alleen naar buiten te rennen?

"You are absolutely my fucking woman, Dani. Got me?"
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.

I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.

My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.

But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.

In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.

"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.

"Who the fuck is Jason?"

My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.

I ran away for my life!

But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!

They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.

Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”

There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
