Introduction

十一歲,她替弟弟隱去紅妝,纖弱少年,一柄長劍,戍邊北境。十七歲,她隨皇子出生入死,披荊斬棘,作為唐家長子,忠臣之後。二十歲,她的生辰賀禮,卻是皇帝的一紙詔書:相府唐家,欺君罔上,全府收押。她獻上利劍,獻上北境,獻上大昭,獻上她認為所有最好的,該屬於君王的東西。只是唐淺不知道,原本乖僻任性的皇子變得成熟穩重,帝王得到了天下後,為何繳了她的兵權,然後步步緊逼,將唐家幾乎置於萬劫不復之境。唐淺只當是帝王忌憚她功高蓋主,重蹈昔日鎮陵王覆轍。處處如履薄冰,自卸權力,退居朝堂之後,唐淺已經近乎白身,卻還是免不了唐家之禍。她跪接那一紙詔書後,才恍然醒悟,帝王的手段,只是為了逼得唐淺,獻上她自己。

世人皆道長寧侯唐氏一族,擁立新帝登基,寵冠大昭,無比榮光。但七皇子身旁人都知,君王之心可以寬容昔日政敵黨羽棄暗投明,卻容不得唐謙多看他人一眼。皇子對長寧侯的苛刻幾乎讓所有人無法理解。卿本傾城,奈何家族之禍,從未著一日裙裳;卻在今日,一襲如火長裙,灼傷所有人的眼,卻是卑微跪在他的面前,只換來一句,「放過唐家麼?那就取悅我,唐淺,用女人的手段。」

Chapter 1

「相府唐家,欺君罔上,全府收押。」內侍尖聲念著,高高抬著頭,鄙夷地看著跪在冰冷石磚上的少年。

那曾經是何等尊貴的侯爺,此時失去了皇帝的寵信,照樣卑微到塵埃裡。

權力,是如此脆弱的東西。

死一般寂靜的長寧侯府裡,隱約能聽見隔壁相府和武威侯府的動靜。那是被禁衛軍抄家,家眷和奴僕被關押的尖叫聲,哭泣聲和叫罵聲混合在一起。即使隔著高高的侯府圍牆,也能聽見如何混亂。

下午早些時候,禁衛軍剛奉旨打開了唐家長女的墳墓,傍晚皇帝便治了唐家全族的罪。不僅是相府,連武威侯府,也一起受到牽連。

皇帝的怒意昭著,竟不給唐家一絲喘息與斡旋的餘地。

內侍將一個錦盒,擺在了唐淺面前,聲音依舊高傲,「長寧侯,這是陛下賞賜給你的,生辰賀禮。長寧侯看過之後,就隨奴才入宮面聖。陛下已經在鳳棲宮,等侯爺了。」

唐淺俯身,拾起那狹長的錦盒,遲疑了一下,最終還是打開。

沒有立刻下獄,宣旨的內侍也還算客氣,長寧侯府的平靜與周遭唐氏府邸的狼狽形成了鮮明對比。

雕工精緻的木盒裡,鋪著柔然的錦緞。那柔順的光澤,卻如何也比不上擺放其中的一支白玉玉蘭髮簪。

那並不是梧桐城裡近來流行的款式,花瓣也看得出被撫摸過千次百次,每一個凄婉的弧度都十分柔和,盈盈欲墜。

唐淺苦笑,墨無痕終究還是發現了真相。

於是有了今日,天子因為被欺騙,而如此震怒。

「公公,給我一些時間,我要換件衣服。」

內侍並沒有阻擾,「長寧侯請便。」

時隔多年,唐淺終於再一次穿回了女子的長裙,一襲如火,美得足以吸引大昭任何一個男子的目光。

長髮只用一根玉蘭簪高高挽起,唐淺直直跪下,俯身向皇帝行禮。

「民女唐淺,拜見皇帝陛下。」

墨無痕似乎在打量她,唐淺能感覺到皇帝目光如劍,似乎將她身上的長裙一刀刀劃開。

「唐淺,巧笑音容淺……」皇帝高高在上,卻在喃喃念著她的名字,「『淺淺』這個名字,遠比生冷而拒人於千里之外的『唐謙』,更適合你。」

「民女自知欺瞞天家,罪孽深重。但此事,唯有已故的父親與民女知曉。唐家其餘人等,均不知情,並非有意欺君。」唐淺抬頭,仰視著皇帝,這樣說道,「民女懇請陛下,念在唐家向來忠於陛下,父親更是知罪殉國的份上,只責罰民女一人。」

墨無痕慵懶坐在那裡,單手支著頭,表情沒有任何變化,「武威侯府,尚可用這樣的理由開脫。但是唐淺,當今林相林子澈,原名應該是唐澈吧?他怎麼可能不知道,雙生姐姐代替自己去死?」

唐淺的眼神慌亂起來。

弟弟唐澈,是父親和整個相府,拼死保護的唯一血脈。

如今,被牢牢捏在了皇帝的手中,宛若利劍懸於頭頂,搖搖欲墜,隨時可能被問斬。

「陛下,林相並不知道這件事。所有謀劃細節,都是民女與父親商議。弟弟十歲就被送去南方,毫不知情。」

墨無痕依舊是那樣的表情,又似乎在欣賞唐淺的每一個表情變化,「若朕,執意要治他罪呢?」

唐淺俯身跪了下去,卑微到塵埃,「民女願承擔任何責罰,只求陛下,念在民女多年侍奉上,放過林相,放過唐家。」

唐淺感覺到,天子站了起來。然後一步一步,低沉而緩慢,走了過來。

宛若野獸逼近獵物,那樣不露骨的攻擊姿態。

墨無痕停在了她的跟前,然後,蹲了下來,拉起唐淺。

皇帝冰冷而修長的指,落在了她的唇上,描摹起她的唇形。

明明是親昵宛若戀人間的舉動。

「放過唐家麼?那就取悅我,唐淺。」唐淺看著墨無痕似笑非笑,眼眸深沉,流動著她所不明白的情愫,「用女人的手段。」

心下明白了幾分。

對於墨無痕,她終究,只是用來取樂的玩物。

僅此而已。

當墨無痕不再需要她,作為一個武將,披荊斬棘的時候,她對於墨無痕的價值,就只剩下這樣麼?

唐淺僵在那兒,滿心凄怆。

她還是笑了出來,神態妩媚,眼神卻滿是凄涼。

「謝陛下開恩。」

唐淺起身,靠近墨無痕,姿態卑微。

她踮起腳,才能觸及墨無痕的唇,然後,帶著生澀和別扭,吻了上去。

親吻,撫摸,原本是最親密的戀人間才會有的動作,此時唐淺卻感覺不到一絲溫暖。曾經還是男子身份,伴隨君側時,每每會讓她亂了心神的觸碰,此刻已經沒有昔日的溫情。

她感覺到墨無痕僵硬了一下,然後,五指用力扣住了她的後頸。

那樣被掌控著,唐淺停了下來,不明白墨無痕的意思,只是抬頭,疑惑地看向墨無痕,希望能從天子的表情中,揣摩出一絲心意。

「長寧侯,可是在敷衍朕?」男子這樣說道,眼神深沉,唐淺不懂。

下一刻,墨無痕俯身下來,掠奪著唐淺的呼吸。

不同於唐淺生澀的輕吻,墨無痕的吻,帶著侵略的意味,仿佛要將唐淺烙上自己的印記。

墨無痕一手握著她的脖子,一手攬著她的腰。唐淺很不習慣這樣被牢牢掌控的感覺,手也不知道該怎麼放。墨無痕吻著她,在缺氧中,她幾乎失去意識,卻能聽見自己的心臟,仿佛要在胸膛中炸裂。

她抬手,試探般去觸碰墨無痕的側臉,然後,感覺到了墨無痕頓了一下。

一陣失重感,唐淺發現自己被墨無痕抱了起來。

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."

I can't breathe. Every touch, every kiss from Tristan set my body on fire, drowning me in a sensation I shouldn't have wanted—especially not that night.

He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.

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.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.

By adulthood, his father’s hatred and abuse towards him has spilled over into the rest of the pack making him the scapegoat for those with the sadistic need to see him suffer. The rest are simply too afraid to even look his way leaving him little in the way of friends or family to turn to.

He kills without mercy. She loves without reason. And nothing will stop her from having him.

For three years, Mafia leader Conner O’Neill has felt eyes on him. A phantom touch in the night. Perfume lingering on his pillows. Warm cookies in his oven. Enemies' heads delivered to his doorstep, gift-wrapped in bloodied silk. It isn’t fear that coils in his gut—it’s fascination. Someone is watching him. Someone who knows him. Someone who kills for him.

Her name is Sage—and she’s been his shadow since the night he unknowingly stole her heart with a bullet to another man’s brain. For her, it was love at first sight. Violent. Beautiful. Inevitable. Raised in darkness, owned by a monster, Sage was never meant to love. But Conner changed that. And she’s been his ever since, waiting for the day she can step out of the shadows and into his arms.

But the man who owns her doesn’t let go of his toys. And the man she loves doesn’t know she exists—yet.

She’s done watching. It’s time he learns the truth.

He belongs to her. And she’ll kill anyone who tries to take him away.
