La redenzione dell'ex-moglie: Un amore rinato
Emma Blackwood
Introduction
Il dolore della mia gravidanza fuori dal matrimonio è una ferita di cui non posso mai parlare, poiché il padre del bambino è scomparso senza lasciare traccia. Proprio quando stavo per togliermi la vita, Henry è intervenuto, offrendo una casa e promettendo di trattare il mio bambino senza padre come se fosse il suo.
Gli sono sempre stata grata per avermi salvato quel giorno, ed è per questo che ho sopportato l'umiliazione di questo matrimonio sbilanciato per così tanto tempo.
Ma tutto è cambiato quando la sua vecchia fiamma, Isabella Scott, è tornata.
Ora sono pronta a firmare i documenti del divorzio, ma Henry chiede dieci milioni di dollari come prezzo per la mia libertà—una somma che non potrei mai sperare di raccogliere.
L'ho guardato negli occhi e ho detto freddamente, "Dieci milioni di dollari per comprare il tuo cuore."
Henry, l'erede più potente di Wall Street, è un ex paziente cardiaco. Non sospetterà mai che la sua cosiddetta ex moglie vergognosa abbia orchestrato il cuore che batte nel suo petto.

Chapter 1
Il crepuscolo autunnale proiettava lunghe ombre attraverso le finestre dal pavimento al soffitto dell'ala VIP del Manhattan General. Ero accanto al letto di mio figlio, osservando i monitor medici che proiettavano il loro costante bagliore blu sulle sue guance arrossate.
"Mamma?" La voce di Billy era debole, appena un sussurro sopra il delicato ronzio delle attrezzature mediche. Mio figlio di cinque anni giaceva tra le lenzuola bianche e fresche, i suoi capelli dorati inumiditi dal sudore della febbre.
Mi avvicinai, scostando una ciocca di capelli dalla sua fronte. "Sì, tesoro?"
"Voglio il papà."
Queste tre parole mi trafissero il cuore come un coltello. Sforzai un sorriso, cercando di mantenere la voce ferma. "Tesoro, il papà è impegnato con il lavoro. Sono qui con te, va bene?"
Gli occhi azzurri di Billy si riempirono di lacrime, "No! Voglio il papà! Per favore chiamalo, mamma. Per favore?" Le sue piccole dita stringevano il bordo della coperta, e potevo vederlo lottare per essere coraggioso, per essere il piccolo maturo che cercava sempre di essere.
Come potevo negarglielo? Anche sapendo cosa sarebbe probabilmente successo, quello che succedeva sempre quando cercavo di raggiungere Henry Harding.
"Va bene, piccolo. Proverò a chiamarlo." Tirai fuori il telefono, avvicinandomi alla finestra. Le mie dita si fermarono sul numero privato di Henry, un numero che non aveva mai cambiato, anche se aveva chiarito che dovevo usarlo solo per le emergenze.
La linea si collegò al terzo squillo, ma non fu la voce di Henry a rispondere.
"Non sai che Henry è con me in questo momento? Perché chiami a quest'ora?"
La voce di Isabella Scott era elegante come sempre, intrisa di falsa dolcezza. Potevo immaginare i suoi tratti perfetti, i suoi capelli biondo platino, il suo abito firmato—tutto di lei sembrava perfetto.
"Henry, stai fermo..." La sua voce divenne giocosa e intima, "Lascia che ti baci!"
La mia mano si strinse sul telefono mentre fissavo le luci della città, lottando per mantenere la voce ferma. "Nostro figlio è in ospedale con una febbre alta. Sta chiedendo di suo padre."
"Oh?" La falsa preoccupazione nella sua voce mi faceva rabbrividire, "Beh, siamo piuttosto occupati al momento. Forse dovresti riprovare più tardi?"
Terminai la chiamata senza rispondere, prendendo un respiro profondo prima di tornare da Billy. La sua espressione speranzosa quasi mi spezzò.
"Era il papà?"
"No, tesoro. Lui... non ha risposto. Ma possiamo riprovare, va bene?"
Billy annuì, anche se potevo vedere la delusione nei suoi occhi. Questa volta, misi il telefono in vivavoce, lasciando che Billy sentisse gli squilli.
"Cosa?" La voce fredda di Henry riempì la stanza.
"Papà, sono io!" Il viso di Billy si illuminò nonostante la febbre. "Sono malato. Puoi venire in ospedale?"
Ci fu una pausa, il silenzio carico di possibilità.
"Sono al Manhattan General, ala VIP, stanza 1630," continuò Billy rapidamente, le sue parole che uscivano a raffica. "Mi manchi, papà." Quando non arrivò risposta, la sua voce si fece più piccola. "Se sei troppo impegnato, magari possiamo fare una videochiamata?"
"Sto lavorando." La voce di Henry era piatta e sprezzante.
Ho visto la luce spegnersi negli occhi di mio figlio, ma in qualche modo è riuscito a sorridere. "Va bene, papà. Allora ciao. Abbi cura di te, non lavorare troppo."
La chiamata finì, e Billy girò il viso verso la finestra. Potevo vedere il suo labbro inferiore tremare. Volevo prenderlo tra le braccia, proteggerlo da questo dolore, ma sapevo che aveva bisogno di un momento per ricomporsi. A cinque anni, mio figlio sapeva già come nascondere le sue lacrime.
Ore dopo, quando Billy finalmente si era addormentato, mi sedetti sulla poltrona nell'angolo a rivedere le sue fatture mediche. Ero perso nei miei pensieri, chiedendomi cosa avessi guadagnato esattamente dal mio matrimonio con Henry.
Improvvisamente, il rumore dei tacchi sul marmo attirò la mia attenzione verso il corridoio. Attraverso il pannello di vetro della porta, vidi una scena che mi fece male al cuore.
Henry camminava lungo il corridoio, il suo abito grigio antracite perfettamente su misura, la sua presenza così imponente che altri pazienti e il personale si spostavano istintivamente. Due uomini della sicurezza lo affiancavano, i loro auricolari brillavano sotto le luci dell'ospedale.
Ma fu la donna al suo braccio a farmi stringere lo stomaco. Isabella Scott, in un abito bianco firmato che probabilmente costava più dello stipendio mensile della maggior parte delle persone, la mano posata possessivamente sull'avambraccio di Henry.
Non erano qui per Billy. Ovviamente no. Sapevo che Henry era qui per accompagnare Isabella a un esame fisico. Dopotutto, Isabella era il suo primo amore.
Mi affondai più profondamente nella sedia, ma il mio movimento catturò l'attenzione di Henry. Per un momento, i nostri sguardi si incrociarono attraverso il vetro. I suoi occhi grigi erano freddi e sprezzanti, lo stesso sguardo che mi aveva rivolto per cinque anni. Poi si voltò, conducendo Isabella oltre la nostra porta senza una seconda occhiata.
Billy si mosse nel sonno, mormorando dolcemente "Papà". Mi alzai e andai al suo capezzale, aggiustando delicatamente la sua coperta. Nel sonno, i suoi lineamenti si rilassavano, e potevo vedere tracce dell'uomo che avevo incontrato quella notte cinque anni fa—Henry Harding che era stato gentile, che mi aveva fatto ridere, che mi aveva guardato come se fossi importante.
Tuttavia, quell'uomo era scomparso al mattino, sostituito dallo sconosciuto freddo che mi aveva sposato tre mesi dopo per soddisfare le richieste di suo nonno. Poiché mio padre li aveva aiutati durante una crisi finanziaria, il nonno di Henry voleva costruire una buona relazione con la nostra famiglia. Era ridicolo che una famiglia di classe media potesse aiutare una famiglia ricca, ma è esattamente quello che era successo.
Sfiorai con un bacio la fronte di Billy, controllando la sua temperatura. La febbre sembrava essere diminuita un po'. Fuori, la città che non dorme mai brillava con un milione di luci, ma qui nella stanza 1630, tutto il mio mondo era contenuto nel ritmo costante del respiro di mio figlio.
"Se avessi saputo, Henry", pensai, guardando la porta dove era scomparso con Isabella. "Se avessi saputo che l'avevi sempre amata, non ti avrei mai sposato".

After One Night with the Alpha
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.

After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate
“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.
“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*
“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”
Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.
“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”
**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.
Well, here goes everything.
The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
Mated by Contract to the Alpha
William—my devastatingly handsome, wealthy werewolf fiancé destined to become Delta—was supposed to be mine forever. After five years together, I was ready to walk down the aisle and claim my happily ever after.
Instead, I found him with her. And their son.
Betrayed, jobless, and drowning in my father's medical bills, I hit rock bottom harder than I ever imagined possible. Just when I thought I'd lost everything, salvation came in the form of the most dangerous man I'd ever encountered.
Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
Now I belong to the Alpha. And he's about to show me just how wild love can be.
