Introduction

Dopo il divorzio, Susanna Collins si trasforma in un'ereditiera miliardaria e una rinomata designer architettonica. Con i suoi adorabili gemelli al suo fianco, i pretendenti si mettono in fila intorno alla torre aziendale del suo ex-marito per tre volte. Una volta freddo e insensibile, il miliardario Aaron Abbott ora si trova consumato dalla gelosia e dal desiderio. Rendendosi conto che Susanna ha sempre avuto il suo cuore, implora: "Susanna, possiamo risposarci? Crescere i bambini da solo è troppo difficile."

Ma prima che possa ottenere una risposta, i suoi dieci potenti fratelli provenienti da vari settori intervengono: "Susanna è l'unica principessa della nostra famiglia. Se la vuoi indietro, dovrai passare attraverso di noi prima."

Il suo figlio geniale, contando sulle dita, osserva: "Mamma, i soldi di papà non sono nemmeno lontanamente paragonabili ai nostri. Non perdiamo tempo con la carità."

Aaron Abbott, determinato e disperato, tira Susanna tra le sue braccia e dichiara: "Ho innumerevoli beni e tutto il denaro di cui potresti mai aver bisogno. Passerò la mia vita a compensare i tre anni che ti devo."

Chapter 1

Susanna Abbott sedeva silenziosa sul divano del soggiorno, stringendo tra le mani i documenti del divorzio, con la mente pesante di pensieri. Chiuse gli occhi, ricordando quel freddo giorno d'inverno di tre anni fa, quando Aaron Abbott si svegliò dal coma indotto da un incidente stradale per scoprire di essere sposato con lei.

Fin dall'inizio, il loro matrimonio era destinato a fallire. Lei era un'orfana senza potere né influenza, mentre Aaron era una figura potente e influente. Se non fosse stato per un colpo di fortuna che attirò l'attenzione di Maria Abbott su di lei, le loro vite non si sarebbero mai incrociate.

Susanna desiderava una famiglia e affetto, ma Aaron era freddo come il ghiaccio. In tre anni di matrimonio, erano stati intimi solo una volta, e anche quella era stata un incidente.

Quando Susanna scoprì di essere incinta, vide un barlume di speranza. Forse questo bambino avrebbe potuto essere il legame che avrebbe reso il loro matrimonio completo. Trovò il coraggio di mandare un messaggio ad Aaron, chiedendogli se sarebbe tornato a casa per cena.

[Aaron, ho prenotato un tavolo al Fantasy Cuisine stasera. Puoi venire? Ho qualcosa di importante da dirti.] Il messaggio di Susanna portava un accenno di cautela.

Un momento dopo, lo schermo del suo telefono si illuminò con la risposta laconica di Aaron: [Anch'io ho qualcosa di cui parlare.]

Il cuore di Susanna batté forte per l'emozione alla sua risposta. Raramente si vestiva elegante, ma quella sera tirò fuori dall'armadio un abito di seta e si truccò leggermente per l'occasione. Fantasy Cuisine era un rinomato ristorante romantico, e Susanna era riuscita a ottenere una prenotazione con l'aiuto di un'amica.

Con il calare della notte, la luce delle candele tremolava e le dolci melodie di violino e pianoforte riempivano l'aria. Aaron arrivò un po' in ritardo. Tirò fuori la sedia di fronte a Susanna e si allentò la cravatta.

Susanna sorrise speranzosa. "Aaron, sei qui. Ho ordinato i tuoi piatti preferiti; dovrebbero arrivare a breve."

Il volto di Aaron rimase impassibile mentre posava un freddo set di documenti del divorzio davanti a Susanna. "Questi sono i documenti del divorzio. Guardali e firmali se è tutto in ordine."

Susanna rimase sbalordita, fissando i documenti con incredulità, un'ondata di disperazione la travolse. "Aaron, perché vuoi improvvisamente il divorzio? C'è qualche malinteso tra noi?"

Aaron rispose freddamente, "Nessun malinteso. Non avremmo dovuto sposarci in primo luogo. Ti ho dato abbastanza tempo e possibilità in questi tre anni."

Disperata, Susanna tentò di salvare il loro matrimonio con la notizia della sua gravidanza. "Aaron, e se ti dicessi che sono incinta? Stiamo per avere il nostro bambino. Vorresti ancora il divorzio?"

Un barlume di sorpresa attraversò gli occhi di Aaron. "Sei incinta? Non era un incidente quella volta? Non ti avevo detto di prenderti cura della situazione?"

Lo sguardo di Susanna vacillò. "Voglio dire, e se lo fossi?"

Aaron scrutò Susanna con uno sguardo scettico prima che il suo tono tornasse alla freddezza iniziale. "Anche così, non cambierebbe nulla. Non riconoscerò né vorrò il tuo bambino."

Le sue parole tagliarono il cuore di Susanna come mille coltelli affilati, lasciandola senza fiato.

Tre anni di matrimonio, vivendo in camere separate, Susanna sapeva che Aaron non l'amava. Aveva fatto del suo meglio per adempiere ai suoi doveri di moglie, sperando di raggiungerlo con la gentilezza. Ma aveva sottovalutato la freddezza di Aaron. Il suo cuore era come il ghiaccio, mai sciolto per nessuno.

Anche il loro bambino era visto come un peso, non riconosciuto dalla famiglia Abbott. Le lacrime offuscavano la vista di Susanna mentre istintivamente toccava il suo ventre.

"Piccolo, papà non ti vuole, ma io lavorerò sodo e ti darò tutto l'amore del mondo," sussurrò Susanna, la voce tremante di emozione.

Aaron lasciò i documenti del divorzio e se ne andò, lasciando Susanna da sola nel ristorante, seduta in uno stato di torpore che sembrava durare un'eternità. Cercò di trattenere le lacrime e alla fine firmò i documenti, accettando la dura realtà.

La mattina seguente, Susanna fu svegliata di soprassalto da un trambusto. Intontita, si alzò e vide la governante, Calliope, che accompagnava una donna verso la sua camera da letto.

"Cosa state facendo?" sbottò Susanna, con la rabbia che le infiammava gli occhi. In tre anni di matrimonio, non si era mai sentita così disprezzata nella casa degli Abbott. Chi era quella donna?

Erica Jones si fermò sulla soglia, lanciando uno sguardo sprezzante intorno alla stanza. "Questo posto è un disastro. Non posso restare qui. La stanza sul lato sud è perfetta per Aaron e me come suite nuziale."

"Suite nuziale?" Il volto di Susanna impallidì. Aggrappandosi a un filo di speranza, chiese, "Chi sei tu?"

Erica guardò Susanna dall'alto in basso. "Devi essere Susanna. Io sono Erica, la fidanzata di Aaron."

Il cuore di Susanna si gelò. Non poteva credere che appena un giorno dopo essere stata cacciata, l'amante di Aaron si fosse presentata. "Quindi, sei la signorina Jones. Cosa ci fai qui?"

La voce di Erica era carica di arroganza. "Sono qui per preparare la mia stanza matrimoniale, ovviamente! Zia Maud ha detto che potevo scegliere qualsiasi stanza volessi. Non mi piace la tua stanza, ma sarà perfetta come deposito. Semplicemente sgombrala."

Susanna poteva percepire l'ostilità e la provocazione di Erica. Sapeva di Erica, il primo amore di Aaron, che era scomparsa quando Aaron era in coma. Si diceva che la famiglia Jones si fosse opposta al loro fidanzamento, costringendoli a separarsi. Ora, con il ritorno di Erica, Susanna si rese conto di essere sempre stata una sostituta. Veniva spinta fuori con il ritorno di Erica.

Erica alzò il mento con arroganza, indicando i documenti del divorzio che aveva già notato. "Susanna, so che tu e Aaron avete discusso del divorzio. Ti consiglio di firmarli presto. Se spingi Aaron troppo oltre, potresti perdere tutto ciò che hai guadagnato finora. Non vorresti che accadesse qualcosa alla tua famiglia, vero?"

Il cuore di Susanna ribolliva di rabbia e dolore. "Aaron ti ha mandato a minacciarmi?"

Erica sogghignò, "Cosa pensi? Aaron e io eravamo destinati a stare insieme. Se non fosse stato per circostanze impreviste, tu non saresti nemmeno qui! Cosa può fare una donna senza potere come te contro di noi?"

Susanna era furiosa ma faticava a trovare le parole giuste. Sapeva che per queste persone ricche, lei e la sua famiglia erano insignificanti. Doveva proteggerli e proteggere il suo bambino non ancora nato.

"Ho firmato i documenti ieri. Aaron non te l'ha detto?" disse Susanna freddamente.

Erica prese i documenti con aria soddisfatta. "Perfetto. Non preoccuparti, finché te ne vai, non farò del male alla tua famiglia."

Susanna iniziò a fare le valigie, con il cuore pieno di una miscela di speranza per il futuro e un addio al passato. Toccò delicatamente il suo ventre, sussurrando, "Piccolo, d'ora in poi, siamo solo io e te. Affronteremo questa nuova vita con coraggio."

Mentre Susanna stava per andarsene, Erica intravide il test di gravidanza nella sua mano. Il suo volto cambiò istantaneamente. "Sei incinta?"

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.
