Chapter 1

« Maman ! Je t'en supplie, rends-moi ces 300 000 euros. Ma sœur en a urgemment besoin pour ses frais médicaux ! Nous ne pouvons plus attendre ! » implora Ryder Clark, à genoux.

Sa belle-mère, Karen, lui donna une gifle retentissante. « Dégage ! Espèce de porte-poisse inutile, quand est-ce que je t'ai jamais dû de l'argent ? »

« La compagnie d'assurance a dit que l'argent de l'indemnisation a été pris par toi ! » expliqua Ryder, anxieux.

Il y a trois jours, sa sœur avait subi une grave blessure dans un accident de délit de fuite. Les frais médicaux exorbitants l'étouffaient. Enfin, lorsqu'il espérait recevoir l'indemnité d'assurance, sa belle-mère la retenait !

Karen dit obstinément : « Et alors si je l'ai pris ? Pendant des années, tu as vécu à nos crochets, donc tu me dois ! En tant qu'homme, tu ne peux même pas économiser pour les frais médicaux de ta propre sœur, à quoi sers-tu ? Va te jeter sous une voiture ! »

Karen se tourna ensuite vers Sarah Johnson, assise sur le canapé en train de jouer avec son téléphone, et se plaignit : « Regarde ! Voilà l'homme insignifiant que tu t'es trouvé ! Un pauvre type qui ne peut pas gagner d'argent ! »

« Maman, c'est juste un pauvre travailleur. Comment pourrait-il économiser de l'argent ? » Sarah regarda Ryder, qui était à genoux par terre. Bien qu'elle soit agacée par ce mari pathétique, elle ressentait encore un peu de sympathie.

Elle ajouta : « Maman, peut-être devrions-nous lui donner l'argent de l'assurance, compte tenu de... »

« Tais-toi ! » cria Karen en la coupant. « Cet argent est pour la future femme de ton frère. Personne ne peut y toucher ! »

Karen donna un coup de pied provocateur dans le ventre de Ryder et le nargua : « Tu ne peux même pas récupérer ton propre argent ! Tu n'as pas le courage de prendre un couteau et de me tuer ? »

Ryder serra son ventre, brûlant de colère, mais il jeta un coup d'œil à sa femme, Sarah. Il ne pouvait qu'avaler sa fierté.

« Je savais que tu étais un lâche. Dégage. Notre famille n'a pas besoin d'un parasite comme toi ! Nous allons demander le divorce dans quelques jours, et à partir de maintenant, plus personne ne doit rien à personne ! »

Karen poussa Ryder dehors en parlant. Sarah ne l'arrêta pas, et son expression était remplie de déception envers Ryder.

Quant à son beau-père, Ernest Johnson, il gardait la tête baissée et lisait le journal comme si de rien n'était.

La porte se ferma.

Dehors, Ryder était totalement déçu. Après trois ans à être un fardeau, il savait que sa belle-mère avait la langue acérée et critique, mais il ne s'attendait jamais à ce qu'elle soit si impitoyable.

« Quoi qu'il arrive, je rassemblerai l'argent pour l'opération ! » Ryder monta sur son vieux scooter électrique et se rendit au chantier pour réclamer son salaire.

Ryder avait étudié l'architecture et avait trouvé un emploi dans une entreprise de construction après avoir obtenu son diplôme universitaire. Bien qu'il soit un membre du personnel technique, il effectuait le même travail laborieux qu'un ouvrier ordinaire, travaillant de longues heures pour gagner 5000 euros par mois.

C'est précisément à cause de cela que sa belle-mère le méprisait encore plus.

Une demi-heure plus tard

Bureau du contremaître, chantier de construction

Tom et plusieurs autres superviseurs de chantier jouaient aux cartes, avec des liasses de billets sur la table.

Ryder supplia désespérément : « Monsieur, pourriez-vous s'il vous plaît régler mes salaires impayés en premier ? Je n'ai pas été payé depuis six mois ! Ma sœur a urgemment besoin d'argent pour ses frais médicaux... »

Impatient, Tom fumait et répondit : « Merde ! Tout ce que tu penses, c'est à l'argent. Nous n'avons pas encore reçu les fonds du projet ! Comment pourrais-je avoir de l'argent pour te payer ? »

« Monsieur, si les fonds du projet ne sont pas arrivés, pourquoi tout le monde a-t-il reçu son salaire sauf moi ? » demanda Ryder précipitamment.

Tom et les autres superviseurs échangèrent des regards et se mirent soudainement à ricaner : « Pour te dire la vérité, j'ai intentionnellement retenu ton salaire ! »

« Pourquoi ? » Ryder semblait stupéfait.

« Pourquoi ? » Tom jeta son mégot de cigarette sur Ryder et ricana : « Parce qu'un bon à rien comme toi a réussi à épouser la plus belle femme de Paris. C'est injuste à mes yeux ! Tu as un problème avec ça ? Alors trouve quelqu'un pour me donner une leçon ! »

Ryder se sentit découragé.

Tom traînait à Paris depuis de nombreuses années, et il avait un certain pouvoir. Devant Tom, il n'était rien d'autre qu'une fourmi !

Tom continua avec un sourire malveillant : « En fait, si tu pouvais arranger pour que cette belle dame chez toi passe un bon moment avec moi, je pourrais te récompenser avec quelques centaines d'euros ! Qu'en dis-tu ? »

Les autres superviseurs à la table intervinrent, "Je vais aussi mettre deux cents euros. Après que Monsieur ait fini, laissez-moi m'amuser aussi !"

"Ce serait mieux de laisser cet idiot nous regarder pendant qu'on s'amuse. J'ai entendu dire que Sarah est encore vierge ! Elle doit être bien serrée !"

Ces paroles vulgaires résonnaient dans les oreilles de Ryder. Il ne pouvait plus le supporter !

Ryder se précipita vers Tom et lui donna un coup de poing en plein visage.

Tom recula de plusieurs pas, surpris par cette attaque soudaine. Il était furieux. "Tabassez-le !"

Les superviseurs et les ouvriers de l'extérieur se précipitèrent à l'intérieur.

Face à plusieurs adversaires, Ryder fut rapidement maîtrisé.

Il fut bientôt couvert de contusions.

"Espèce d'idiot !" Tom écrasa la tête de Ryder avec son pied, dézippa son pantalon et urina sur lui. "Emmenez-le dehors et jetez-le !"

...

La nuit tomba.

Ryder s'accroupit sur le bord de la route, pleurant la tête dans les mains. C'était un jour où il avait perdu toute sa dignité !

En fait, certaines personnes savaient qu'il était le jeune maître de la famille Jones à Paris. La raison pour laquelle il était tombé si bas était un passé déchirant.

Il y a vingt-cinq ans, son père John Clark s'était marié dans la famille Jones à Paris. Un an plus tard, Mademoiselle Emma Jones de la famille Jones donna naissance à un fils.

Selon la tradition familiale, le garçon prit le nom de famille maternel et fut nommé Ryder Jones.

John, étant faible de caractère, subissait des humiliations constantes dans la famille Jones, avec un statut inférieur à celui d'un domestique. Emma, de son côté, se livrait à des comportements extravagants et promiscuous, étant constamment avec différents hommes.

Peu de temps après, la forte Emma trouva ouvertement un autre gendre ! Elle avait franchi toutes les limites.

Les hommes réussis ayant trois épouses et quatre maîtresses n'étaient pas rares. Il n'était pas rare que les jeunes filles de familles éminentes épousent deux hommes.

L'homme qui entra dans la maison devint le deuxième père de Ryder Jones.

Après que le deuxième père et Emma eurent un fils ensemble, le statut de John chuta. Ryder Jones, bien qu'étant le fils d'Emma, était bien moins favorisé que son frère cadet. Il y a juste dix ans, Emma se débarrassa de John, les expulsant tous les deux de la famille Jones.

"Ces parvenus et leurs enfants illégitimes ne sont pas dignes de partager un repas avec notre famille Jones. Ils n'ont plus aucun lien avec nous !"

Telles furent les paroles dures qu'Emma laissa derrière elle ! En quittant Paris, les deux retournèrent dans la région rurale de Marseille et se soutinrent mutuellement. Ryder Jones changea son nom en Ryder.

Plus tard, John adopta une fille de sept ans nommée Ava comme sa fille. Bien que la famille de trois soit pauvre et démunie, ils trouvaient encore de la chaleur les uns avec les autres. Mais les bons moments ne durèrent pas longtemps. Il y a trois ans, John disparut pendant un mois sans raison et revint avec une maladie en phase terminale. Il emprunta beaucoup d'argent pour se soigner, mais en fin de compte, il ne put sauver sa vie.

Après la mort de John, pour rembourser les dettes, Ryder, qui venait juste de terminer ses études, dut renoncer à sa dignité. Il devint le gendre de la famille Johnson, travaillant comme un esclave pendant trois ans. Cette fois, quand sa sœur eut un accident, Ryder essaya d'innombrables moyens pour trouver les frais médicaux.

Il eut même le courage de contacter Emma, leur mère qu'ils n'avaient pas vue depuis dix ans, pour de l'argent. Mais tout ce qu'elle dit froidement fut : "Je n'ai pas de fils comme toi. Te donner naissance fut la décision la plus stupide de ma vie !"

Elle raccrocha après avoir prononcé ces paroles amères.

Le moment le plus désespéré de sa vie était arrivé.

"Sœur, à cause de mon incompétence en tant que frère, c'est ma dernière option. À partir de maintenant, tu devras vivre heureuse toute seule..."

Ryder se leva, déterminé.

Il décida de sauter d'un bâtiment de chantier et de simuler une blessure sur le site.

De cette manière, il pourrait obtenir une indemnisation de 600 000 euros ! "J'espère que l'indemnisation ne sera pas prise par ma belle-mère !"

Alors qu'il s'apprêtait à entrer sur le chantier, une Rolls-Royce noire s'arrêta soudainement devant lui.

Un vieil homme digne sortit de la voiture.

Il s'inclina devant Ryder. "Jeune Maître, désolé pour l'attente !"

From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.

Or just be his.

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“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.”
