Introduction

Après son divorce, Susanna Collins se transforme en héritière milliardaire et en designer architectural renommée. Avec ses adorables jumeaux à ses côtés, les prétendants font la queue autour de la tour d'entreprise de son ex-mari trois fois de suite. Autrefois impitoyable, le milliardaire Aaron Abbott se retrouve maintenant consumé par la jalousie et le désir. Réalisant que Susanna a toujours détenu son cœur, il supplie : "Sarah, pouvons-nous nous remarier ? Élever les enfants seul est trop difficile."

Mais avant qu'il ne puisse obtenir une réponse, ses dix puissants frères issus de divers secteurs interviennent : "Susanna est la seule princesse de notre famille. Si tu veux la récupérer, il faudra d'abord nous affronter."

Son fils prodige, comptant sur ses doigts, remarque : "Maman, l'argent de Papa n'est même pas proche du nôtre. Ne perdons pas de temps en charité."

Aaron Abbott, déterminé et désespéré, tire Sarah dans ses bras et déclare : "J'ai d'innombrables biens et tout l'argent dont tu pourrais avoir besoin. Je passerai ma vie à rattraper les trois années que je te dois."

(Je recommande vivement un livre captivant que je n'ai pas pu lâcher pendant trois jours et trois nuits. C'est incroyablement engageant et un incontournable. Le titre du livre est "Après le sexe en voiture avec le PDG." Vous pouvez le trouver en le recherchant dans la barre de recherche.)

Chapter 1

Susanna Abbott était assise tranquillement sur le canapé du salon, serrant les papiers du divorce, l'esprit lourd de pensées. Elle ferma les yeux, se rappelant ce jour d'hiver froid, il y a trois ans, quand Aaron Abbott s'était réveillé d'un coma induit par un accident de voiture pour se retrouver marié à elle.

Dès le début, leur mariage était condamné. Elle était orpheline, sans pouvoir ni influence, tandis qu'Aaron était une figure puissante et influente. Si ce n'était pas pour un coup du sort où elle avait attiré l'attention de Maria Abbott, leurs vies ne se seraient jamais croisées.

Susanna aspirait à une famille et à de l'affection, mais Aaron était aussi froid que la glace. En trois ans de mariage, ils n'avaient été intimes qu'une seule fois, et c'était un accident.

Quand Susanna découvrit qu'elle était enceinte, elle vit une lueur d'espoir. Peut-être que cet enfant pourrait être le lien qui rendrait leur mariage entier. Elle trouva le courage d'envoyer un message à Aaron, lui demandant s'il pouvait rentrer à la maison pour dîner.

[Aaron, j'ai réservé une table au restaurant La Fantaisie ce soir. Peux-tu me rejoindre? J'ai quelque chose d'important à te dire.] Le message de Susanna portait une pointe de prudence.

Un instant plus tard, l'écran de son téléphone s'illumina avec la réponse laconique d'Aaron : [J'ai aussi quelque chose à discuter.]

Le cœur de Susanna battait la chamade d'excitation à sa réponse. Elle se maquillait rarement, mais ce soir-là, elle sortit une robe en soie de son placard et appliqua un léger maquillage pour l'occasion. La Fantaisie était un restaurant romantique renommé, et Susanna avait réussi à obtenir une réservation grâce à l'aide d'un ami.

À la tombée de la nuit, les bougies vacillaient et les douces mélodies de violon et de piano remplissaient l'air. Aaron arriva un peu en retard. Il tira la chaise en face de Susanna et desserra sa cravate.

Susanna sourit avec espoir. "Aaron, tu es là. J'ai commandé tes plats préférés; ils devraient arriver bientôt."

Le visage d'Aaron resta impassible alors qu'il posait un jeu froid de papiers de divorce devant Susanna. "Ce sont les papiers du divorce. Regarde-les et signe si tout est en ordre."

Susanna était stupéfaite, fixant les papiers avec incrédulité, une vague de désespoir la submergeant. "Aaron, pourquoi veux-tu soudainement divorcer? Y a-t-il un malentendu entre nous?"

Aaron répondit froidement, "Aucun malentendu. Nous n'aurions jamais dû nous marier. Je t'ai donné assez de temps et de chances pendant ces trois ans."

Désespérée, Susanna tenta de sauver leur mariage avec la nouvelle de sa grossesse. "Aaron, et si je te disais que je suis enceinte? Nous allons avoir notre propre enfant. Voudrais-tu toujours divorcer?"

Une lueur de surprise traversa les yeux d'Aaron. "Tu es enceinte? N'était-ce pas un accident la dernière fois? Ne t'avais-je pas dit de t'en occuper?"

Le regard de Susanna vacilla. "Je veux dire, et si je l'étais?"

Aaron scruta Susanna avec un regard sceptique avant que son ton ne retrouve sa froideur initiale. "Même ainsi, cela ne changerait rien. Je ne reconnaîtrais pas ni ne voudrais ton enfant."

Ses mots transpercèrent le cœur de Susanna comme mille couteaux aiguisés, la laissant à bout de souffle.

Trois ans de mariage, vivant dans des chambres séparées, Susanna savait qu'Aaron ne l'aimait pas. Elle avait fait de son mieux pour remplir ses devoirs d'épouse, espérant l'atteindre par sa gentillesse. Mais elle avait sous-estimé la froideur d'Aaron. Son cœur était comme de la glace, ne fondant jamais pour personne.

Même leur enfant était considéré comme un fardeau, ignoré par la famille Abbott. Les larmes embuaient la vision de Susanna alors qu'elle touchait instinctivement son ventre.

"Bébé, Papa ne veut pas de toi, mais je vais travailler dur et te donner tout l'amour du monde," murmura Susanna, sa voix tremblant d'émotion.

Aaron laissa les papiers du divorce et partit, laissant Susanna seule dans le restaurant, assise dans un état de stupeur qui sembla durer une éternité. Elle retint ses larmes et finit par signer les papiers, acceptant la dure réalité.

Le lendemain matin, Susanna fut réveillée en sursaut par une agitation. Engourdie, elle se leva et vit la gouvernante, Calliope, conduire une femme vers sa chambre.

"Que faites-vous?" s'écria Susanna, la colère montant. En trois ans de mariage, elle ne s'était jamais sentie aussi méprisée dans la maison des Abbott. Qui était cette femme?

Erica Jones se tenait à la porte, jetant un regard dédaigneux autour de la pièce. "Cet endroit est un bazar. Je ne peux pas rester ici. La chambre du côté sud est parfaite pour Aaron et moi comme suite nuptiale."

"Suite nuptiale?" Le visage de Susanna devint livide. S'accrochant à un mince espoir, elle demanda, "Qui êtes-vous?"

Erica regarda Susanna de haut en bas. "Vous devez être Susanna. Je suis Erica, la fiancée d'Aaron."

Le cœur de Susanna se glaça. Elle ne pouvait pas croire qu'un jour seulement après avoir été expulsée, la maîtresse d'Aaron s'était présentée. "Alors, vous êtes Mlle Jones. Que faites-vous ici?"

La voix d'Erica dégoulinait d'arrogance. "Je suis ici pour préparer ma chambre de mariage, bien sûr! Tante Maud a dit que je pouvais choisir n'importe quelle chambre que je voulais. Je n'aime pas votre chambre, mais elle fera un bon espace de rangement. Débarrassez-la."

Susanna pouvait sentir l'hostilité et la provocation d'Erica. Elle connaissait Erica, le premier amour d'Aaron, qui avait disparu quand Aaron était dans le coma. La rumeur disait que la famille Jones s'était opposée à leurs fiançailles, les forçant à se séparer. Maintenant, avec le retour d'Erica, Susanna réalisa qu'elle avait toujours été une remplaçante. Elle était poussée dehors avec le retour d'Erica.

Erica leva le menton avec arrogance, pointant les papiers du divorce qu'elle avait déjà remarqués. "Susanna, je sais que vous et Aaron avez discuté du divorce. Je vous suggère de le signer bientôt. Si vous poussez Aaron trop loin, vous pourriez perdre tout ce que vous avez gagné jusqu'à présent. Vous ne voudriez pas que quelque chose arrive à votre famille, n'est-ce pas?"

Le cœur de Susanna bouillait de rage et de douleur. "Aaron vous a-t-il envoyée pour me menacer?"

Erica ricana, "Qu'en pensez-vous? Aaron et moi étions destinés à être ensemble. S'il n'y avait pas eu de circonstances imprévues, vous ne seriez même pas là! Que peut faire une femme sans pouvoir comme vous contre nous?"

Susanna était furieuse mais avait du mal à trouver les mots justes. Elle savait que pour ces gens riches, elle et sa famille étaient insignifiantes. Elle devait les protéger, ainsi que son enfant à naître.

"J'ai signé les papiers hier. Aaron ne vous l'a pas dit?" dit Susanna froidement.

Erica prit les papiers avec satisfaction. "Parfait. Ne vous inquiétez pas, tant que vous partez, je ne ferai pas de mal à votre famille."

Susanna commença à faire ses valises, son cœur rempli d'un mélange d'espoir pour l'avenir et d'adieu au passé. Elle toucha doucement son ventre, murmurant, "Bébé, à partir de maintenant, c'est juste toi et moi. Nous affronterons cette nouvelle vie courageusement."

Alors que Susanna s'apprêtait à partir, Erica aperçut le test de grossesse dans sa main. Son visage changea instantanément. "Tu es enceinte?"

“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.
