James Smith

Chapter 1

Di Jabatan Pesakit Luar Hospital Lindwood City, seorang doktor wanita yang tinggi dan kelihatan dingin berjalan melewati, serta-merta mencetuskan perbualan hangat di kalangan beberapa doktor lelaki muda di belakangnya.

Seseorang berkata, "Dr. Johnson cantik sangat, ya Allah! Macam mana boleh ada wanita yang sempurna macam dia di dunia ni? Kalau aku boleh kahwin dengan Dr. Johnson, memang berbaloi hilang dua puluh tahun hidup aku!"

Seorang lagi menyindir, "Kau jangan bermimpi. Walaupun kau hilang lima puluh tahun hidup kau, tetap takkan sampai giliran kau. Tengoklah kelayakan Dr. Johnson, pelajar terbaik dari Universiti Perubatan Selatan dengan kemahiran perubatan yang luar biasa.

"Dia dapat gaji ratusan ribu dolar setahun. Dia bukan sahaja cantik, tapi juga cemerlang. Mereka yang nak mengejar dia boleh beratur sampai ke Rusia."

Seorang lagi menambah, "Kenapa tak kata boleh beratur sampai ke Britain?"

Seorang mencadangkan, "Hei, berhenti cakap. James Smith datang."

Mereka melihat seorang lelaki dengan pakaian lusuh, bajunya sudah pudar menjadi kuning, menghampiri dengan senyap.

Seorang doktor lelaki berkata, "Apa nak takut? Semua orang di hospital ni tahu James Smith tu raja dayus. Ingat tak masa Encik Romero bagi bunga terang-terang kat Dr. Johnson depan dia? Dia tak kisah pun."

Seorang lagi menambah, "Ya, kalau aku jadi James Smith, aku dah lama mati. Dia tetap tenang walaupun ada lelaki lain terang-terang kagum dengan isteri dia sendiri.

"Aku betul-betul hairan macam mana Jennifer Johnson boleh kahwin dengan lelaki macam tu; kahwin dengan anjing pun lebih baik daripada kahwin dengan James Smith."

Seseorang menasihatkan, "Jangan cakap kuat sangat. Nanti James Smith dengar dan datang cari kau."

Doktor lain mengejek, "Cari aku? Boleh ke? Kalau dia berani datang cari aku, aku belanja korang semua makan malam kat Emperor Club malam ni."

James Smith mendekati, telinganya cukup tajam untuk menangkap kata-kata mereka, tapi dia tak rasa apa-apa, sebab dia dah lali dengan cakap-cakap macam tu.

Selama lima tahun kebelakangan ini, dia menjalani kehidupan yang hampir sama setiap hari.

Dia memandang ke arah Jennifer yang semakin menjauh dan menghela nafas tanpa suara. Walaupun dia dan Jennifer adalah suami isteri, mereka tidak pernah mengalami kehidupan perkahwinan yang normal.

Sebagai menantu yang berkahwin masuk ke dalam keluarga, Jennifer Johnson tidak pernah memandangnya sejak hari pertama perkahwinan mereka. Sikapnya terhadap James semakin buruk, terutama sejak tahun lepas.

Memang, di mata semua orang, James Smith memang tak layak untuk Jennifer Johnson, bahkan tak layak untuk memegang kasutnya.

Hanya James Smith yang tahu bahawa dia hampir menamatkan kehidupan seperti ini.

Dia berasal dari keluarga tersembunyi terbesar di negara ini, sangat kaya dan berprestij, mempunyai kemahiran perubatan yang tiada tandingan, dan jauh lebih hebat daripada doktor di Hospital Lindwood City.

Kerana beberapa peraturan pelik dalam keluarga, dia terpaksa berkhidmat sebagai menantu keluarga Johnson selama lima tahun. Selain itu, dia terpaksa menahan diri daripada melawan apabila berdepan dengan pergaduhan fizikal dan penghinaan lisan.

Hanya selepas menyelesaikan syarat-syarat ini, dia boleh kembali ke harta keluarganya dan mengambil alih warisan keluarga, satu syarat yang kononnya direka untuk memperbaiki wataknya.

Dia tak dapat bayangkan bagaimana keluarganya boleh merangka peraturan yang begitu pelik, menyebabkan dia perlu menanggung penderitaan bertahun-tahun, hidup lebih teruk daripada anjing.

Tapi nasib baik, dia hampir mendapat kebebasannya!

Merasa tenaga yang melimpah dalam dirinya, James Smith merasakan kegembiraan yang sukar dikawal.

"Tunggulah, aku akan buat korang semua terkejut!" dia berkata dalam hati.

Terutama kepada isterinya, Jennifer Johnson, dia tidak sabar menanti saat dia menyedari kemampuan sebenar dirinya, tidak sabar melihat reaksi Jennifer apabila mengetahui bahawa dia bukanlah individu yang lemah seperti yang dia sangkakan.

Selepas kerja, James mengambil makanan kegemaran Jennifer dari kafeteria dan membawanya ke pejabatnya, yang merupakan perkara paling penting baginya di Hospital Lindwood City.

Namun, ketika dia menghampiri pejabat, dia melihat beberapa jururawat dari hospital itu sedang mengintip di luar, kelihatan sangat bergosip. Apabila mereka melihat James datang, mereka cepat-cepat bersurai, memberikan pandangan simpati kepadanya.

"James, mungkin awak tak patut masuk," seorang jururawat menasihati dan menghentikannya.

"Kenapa?" James merasa hairan.

Pada masa itu, dia mendengar suara seorang lelaki yang penuh kasih sayang dari pejabat, berkata, "Jennifer, saya benar-benar mencintai awak. Awak sangat hebat. Kenapa nak terus bersama lelaki yang tak berguna itu? Dia tak boleh bagi awak kebahagiaan! Ceraikan dia dan kahwin dengan saya. Jennifer, saya benar-benar cintakan awak."

Suara itu tidak rendah, dan walaupun mereka dipisahkan oleh pintu pejabat, ramai orang mendengarnya. Mereka semua berpaling melihat James, menunjukkan simpati, kasihan, dan lebih-lebih lagi, schadenfreude dan penghinaan.

Mulut James Smith berkedut beberapa kali. Tiada lelaki yang boleh tenang apabila mendengar lelaki lain mengaku cinta kepada isterinya dengan cara sebegitu. Malah James Smith pun tak boleh.

Kemarahannya memuncak dari kakinya hingga ke kepalanya, dan dia menolak jururawat itu, melangkah menuju ke pejabat.

Namun, kakinya tergelincir dengan canggung, kelihatan lebih kekok daripada heroik, malah menyedihkan.

Sebaik sahaja dia tiba, pintu pejabat terbuka, menampakkan sosok yang menawan—Jennifer. Melihat James, sekelumit rasa bersalah melintas di wajahnya, cepat hilang apabila dia mengambil ekspresi tegas dan berkata, "Kamu ingat kamu bagi sikap macam tu pada siapa?"

Apabila melihat Jennifer, kemarahan James segera reda. Pada masa itu, seorang lelaki lain muncul dari pejabat. Lelaki itu merayu, "Jennifer, tolong biar saya jelaskan. Saya..."

Melihat James, lelaki itu berhenti dan memandangnya dengan provokatif, dan mengejek, "Oh, bukankah ini James Smith? Dah habis bersihkan tandas?"

Beberapa waktu lalu, apabila tandas tersumbat dan tukang cuci tiada, James yang menyelesaikannya. Apa yang bermula sebagai sikap baik hatinya kini menjadi bahan ejekan oleh John dan yang lain.

Ketawa segera meletus dari beberapa orang yang melihat.

James mengabaikan John dan hanya memandang Jennifer. Dia mengangkat kotak makanan di tangannya dan berkata, "Saya dah bungkus makanan. Nikmatilah sementara masih panas."

John melangkah ke hadapan, menghalang James, dan berkata kepada Jennifer, "Jennifer, tak ada yang istimewa tentang makanan di kafeteria. Biar saya bawa awak ke restoran romantik; suasananya sangat romantik."

Dia menekankan perkataan "romantik" dan memandang provokatif kepada James Smith, sengaja cuba memprovokasinya.

Semua orang tahu bahawa James adalah suami Jennifer, namun John berani berkata begitu, menunjukkan sikap tidak hormat sepenuhnya kepada James.

James terus mengabaikan John, seolah-olah tidak mendengar kata-katanya, sambil memandang Jennifer dengan harapan, berharap dia akan tinggal dan menikmati makanan yang dibawanya.

Melihat sikapnya, Jennifer menjadi marah. Dia menepis bekas makanan dari tangannya dengan marah, berkata, "Awak memang tak berguna!"

Walaupun Jennifer sentiasa bersikap dingin terhadapnya sejak mereka berkahwin, dia tidak pernah menghina James sebagai "tak berguna" di hadapan orang lain. Ini pertama kali, menyebabkan tubuhnya kaku serta-merta.

Di tepi, John tidak dapat menahan kegembiraan dalamannya. Walaupun cubaannya, senyumannya gagal menyembunyikan kegembiraannya. Mengambil peluang itu, dia cuba mencapai tangan Jennifer, memanfaatkan situasi itu.

Tiba-tiba, bunyi langkah kaki yang tergesa-gesa mendekat, disertai dengan jeritan cemas, "Oh tidak, sesuatu yang besar telah berlaku!"

“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.


Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her.

I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse 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.
