Chapter 1
La pièce était si sombre qu'aucune trace de lumière ne pouvait en percer les limites.
Sur le grand lit de l'hôtel, l'homme se comportait comme une bête qui avait attendu trop longtemps, dévorant le festin devant lui jusqu'à l'os, sans se soucier de savoir si la femme sous lui vivait cela pour la première fois.
Grace Lewis ne pouvait pas supporter l'intensité et perdit connaissance.
Elle fut réveillée en sursaut par la sonnerie persistante de son téléphone portable.
Après avoir raccroché, Grace jeta un coup d'œil à l'heure et réalisa qu'il était déjà dix heures du matin !
Aujourd'hui était le jour de sa fête de fiançailles.
Et son fiancé la trompait déjà avec sa meilleure amie.
Ils l'avaient même appelée la veille pour lui faire entendre leurs bruits indiscrets au téléphone.
Furieuse et blessée, Grace était allée dans un bar et avait fini par coucher avec un bel inconnu.
Grace lutta pour se lever du lit, ressentant des douleurs aiguës à chaque mouvement, un témoignage du traitement brutal de l'homme de la veille. Tout son corps était en agonie.
Elle devait se dépêcher d'aller au lieu de la fête de fiançailles, sinon la famille Lewis serait furieuse !
Juste au moment où elle s'habillait et s'apprêtait à sortir en trombe, Grace sentit son poignet être saisi. L'homme dans le lit ouvrit les yeux.
"Tu pars déjà ?" Sa voix était profonde et rauque.
Avec des yeux perçants comme ceux d'un faucon et des traits raffinés, il attira l'attention de Grace. En y regardant de plus près, elle remarqua une légère ressemblance entre son visage et celui de son fiancé.
Grace força un sourire, prétendant ne pas reconnaître l'homme. Elle sortit ensuite son portefeuille, en retira tout l'argent et le déposa sur la table de chevet.
"La nuit dernière était géniale. C'est dommage que je doive aller à une fête de fiançailles maintenant. Ne t'inquiète pas, je rappellerai tes services !" dit-elle joyeusement, masquant ses véritables sentiments.
Xavier Montgomery resta impassible; au lieu de cela, il esquissa un sourire froid, contrôlant sa colère.
Il passa un coup de fil, et peu de temps après, son secrétaire, Mason Clark, apparut avec ses vêtements.
Après une douche et vêtu d'un costume, Xavier dégageait une allure de détachement élégant, son regard glacial.
Avant de partir, Xavier ramassa la liasse de billets et la rangea dans son sac.
"Monsieur Montgomery, la fête de fiançailles de votre neveu avec la famille Lewis est sur le point de commencer. Vous y allez maintenant ?" demanda son secrétaire.
"Mmhmm," répondit Xavier en acquiesçant.
"Monsieur Hastings se demandait pourquoi vous n'étiez pas venu hier soir," informa Mason.
Xavier ne répondit pas, semblant perdu dans ses pensées.
Venant d'arriver à Skigeth, il avait été emmené dans un bar par de vieux amis qu'il n'avait pas vus depuis des années. En chemin, une fille qui avait trop bu s'était accrochée à lui, entraînant une nuit de folie.
Xavier, habituellement reconnu pour son grand self-control et sa résistance aux charmes ordinaires, s'était retrouvé intrigué par la femme de la nuit dernière, une fragrance unique qu'elle portait et qui l'avait détendu, lui laissant une douce nostalgie.
Pour Xavier, qui luttait souvent contre des problèmes de sommeil, la nuit précédente avait été une rare occasion de repos paisible.
Pendant ce temps… Grace héla un taxi dans la rue et donna le nom de l'hôtel.
Lorsqu'elle arriva sur le lieu de l'engagement, il était presque onze heures. La salle était déjà bondée d'invités.
Grace entra dans la salle de maquillage, à peine consciente de son environnement avant d'éviter de justesse une gifle en pleine figure. Rapidement, elle attrapa le poignet de son agresseur.
"Je ne peux pas vraiment me maquiller avec un visage enflé, n'est-ce pas ?" rétorqua froidement Grace à l'homme qui avait tenté de la frapper.
Cet homme n'était autre que son père, Zach Lewis.
Zach, son échec à la gifler alimentant encore plus sa mauvaise humeur, éclata de colère, "Tu as osé ignorer mes appels ? Tu as du culot ! Va immédiatement. Si quelque chose tourne mal avec l'engagement aujourd'hui, tu auras affaire à moi !"
La famille la plus influente de Skigeth, les Montgomery, possédait d'immenses biens et un fils, Xavier, connu pour son pouvoir et son influence.
L'opportunité de Grace de se marier dans la famille Montgomery dépendait des liens étroits entre les familles !
Des rumeurs circulaient sur la présence de Xavier à la prochaine fête de fiançailles, ce qui avait incité les préparatifs des deux familles. Malgré l'approche du mariage, aucun des principaux intéressés n'avait encore fait son apparition.
Grace lança un regard glacial à Zach. "Est-ce que Ryan est arrivé ?"
Ryan Montgomery était l'homme qu'elle devait épouser.
Zach fit une pause, indiquant l'absence de Ryan. La famille Montgomery était activement à sa recherche. Étant donné que son téléphone était éteint, il était fort probable qu'il prévoyait de l'abandonner.
Avec un ricanement, Grace réfléchit, "Comment suis-je censée me fiancer toute seule si Ryan ne se montre pas ?"
L'expression de Zach s'assombrit. "La famille Montgomery le cherche. Habille-toi et maquille-toi, maintenant !"
La maquilleuse se précipita, essayant d'aider Grace à se préparer. Grace savait qu'elle n'avait pas de marge de manœuvre pour refuser ce mariage arrangé, elle informa la maquilleuse, "Je vais le faire moi-même."
Sa mère lui avait dit quand elle était plus jeune qu'être trop belle pouvait apporter des ennuis, alors dès son plus jeune âge, Grace avait appris à se maquiller de manière à paraître ordinaire.
La maquilleuse pourrait découvrir des secrets cachés sur son visage.
Soudain, une agitation à la porte attira l'attention. "Vite. Xavier est là."
À la mention de ce nom, Zach prit immédiatement Grace par le bras, "Xavier est là. Comporte-toi bien !"
Xavier était un nom que Grace connaissait bien. Il était l'enfant illégitime autrefois chassé par la famille Montgomery.
Cependant, cet ancien paria avait maintenant accédé à une position de prestige, surpassant même la renommée famille Montgomery de Skigeth.
