La rédemption de l'ex-femme : Un amour renaît
Emma Blackwood
Introduction
La douleur de ma grossesse hors mariage est une blessure dont je ne peux jamais parler, car le père de l'enfant a disparu sans laisser de trace. Juste au moment où j'étais sur le point de mettre fin à mes jours, Henry est intervenu, m'offrant un foyer et promettant de traiter mon enfant sans père comme le sien.
Je lui ai toujours été reconnaissante de m'avoir sauvée ce jour-là, c'est pourquoi j'ai enduré l'humiliation de ce mariage déséquilibré pendant si longtemps.
Mais tout a changé lorsque sa flamme d'autrefois, Isabella Scott, est revenue.
Maintenant, je suis prête à signer les papiers de divorce, mais Henry exige dix millions de dollars comme prix de ma liberté - une somme que je ne pourrais jamais espérer réunir.
Je l'ai regardé dans les yeux et lui ai dit froidement, "Dix millions de dollars pour acheter ton cœur."
Henry, l'héritier le plus puissant de Wall Street, est un ancien patient cardiaque. Il ne soupçonnera jamais que son soi-disant ex-femme honteuse a orchestré le cœur qui bat dans sa poitrine.

Chapter 1
Le crépuscule d'automne projetait de longues ombres à travers les fenêtres du sol au plafond de l'aile VIP de l'hôpital général de Manhattan. Je me tenais près du lit de mon fils, observant les moniteurs médicaux diffuser leur lueur bleue régulière sur ses joues rougies.
"Maman ?" La voix de Billy était faible, à peine un murmure au-dessus du doux bourdonnement des équipements médicaux. Mon fils de cinq ans reposait contre les draps blancs impeccables, ses cheveux dorés humides de sueur de fièvre.
Je me penchai vers lui, écartant une mèche de cheveux de son front. "Oui, mon chéri ?"
"Je veux Papa."
Ces trois mots me transpercèrent le cœur comme une lame. Je forçai un sourire, essayant de garder ma voix stable. "Mon chéri, Papa est occupé avec le travail. Je suis là avec toi, d'accord ?"
Les yeux bleus de Billy se remplirent de larmes, "Non ! Je veux Papa ! S'il te plaît, appelle-le, Maman. S'il te plaît ?" Ses petits doigts agrippaient le bord de sa couverture, et je pouvais voir qu'il luttait pour être courageux, pour être le petit garçon mature qu'il essayait toujours d'être.
Comment pouvais-je lui refuser cela ? Même en sachant ce qui allait probablement se passer, ce qui se passait toujours quand j'essayais de joindre Henry Harding.
"D'accord, mon bébé. Je vais essayer de l'appeler." Je sortis mon téléphone, me dirigeant vers la fenêtre. Mes doigts planèrent au-dessus du numéro privé de Henry, un numéro qu'il n'avait jamais changé, bien qu'il ait clairement indiqué que je ne devais l'utiliser qu'en cas d'urgence.
La ligne se connecta au troisième sonnerie, mais ce n'était pas la voix de Henry qui répondit.
"Tu ne sais pas que Henry est avec moi en ce moment ? Pourquoi appelles-tu à cette heure-ci ?"
La voix d'Isabella Scott était aussi élégante que jamais, dégoulinant de fausse douceur. Je pouvais imaginer ses traits parfaits, ses cheveux blond platine, sa tenue de créateur - tout chez elle semblait parfait.
"Henry, reste tranquille..." Sa voix devint joueuse et intime, "Laisse-moi t'embrasser !"
Ma main se resserra sur le téléphone tandis que je fixais les lumières de la ville, luttant pour garder ma voix stable. "Notre fils est à l'hôpital avec une forte fièvre. Il demande son père."
"Ah ?" La fausse inquiétude dans sa voix me fit frissonner, "Eh bien, nous sommes plutôt occupés en ce moment. Peut-être devrais-tu essayer plus tard ?"
Je mis fin à l'appel sans répondre, prenant une profonde inspiration avant de me tourner vers Billy. Son expression pleine d'espoir faillit me briser.
"C'était Papa ?"
"Non, mon chéri. Il... il n'a pas répondu. Mais nous pouvons essayer encore, d'accord ?"
Billy hocha la tête, bien que je puisse voir la déception dans ses yeux. Cette fois, je mis le téléphone en haut-parleur, laissant Billy entendre les sonneries.
"Quoi ?" La voix froide de Henry emplit la pièce.
"Papa, c'est moi !" Le visage de Billy s'illumina malgré sa fièvre. "Je suis malade. Peux-tu venir à l'hôpital ?"
Il y eut une pause, le silence lourd de possibilités.
"Je suis à l'hôpital général de Manhattan, aile VIP, chambre 1630," continua rapidement Billy, ses mots se précipitant. "Tu me manques, Papa." Quand aucune réponse ne vint, sa voix devint plus petite. "Si tu es trop occupé, peut-être qu'on peut faire un FaceTime ?"
"Je travaille." La voix de Henry était plate et désinvolte.
Je regardai la lumière s'éteindre dans les yeux de mon fils, mais il réussit tout de même à sourire. "D'accord, Papa. Au revoir alors. Prends soin de toi, ne travaille pas trop."
L'appel se termina, et Billy tourna son visage vers la fenêtre. Je pouvais voir sa lèvre inférieure trembler. Je voulais le prendre dans mes bras, le protéger de cette douleur, mais je savais qu'il avait besoin d'un moment pour se ressaisir. À cinq ans, mon fils savait déjà comment cacher ses larmes.
Des heures plus tard, après que Billy se soit finalement endormi, je m'assis dans le fauteuil du coin en passant en revue ses factures médicales. J'étais perdu dans mes pensées, me demandant ce que j'avais vraiment gagné en épousant Henry.
Soudain, le cliquetis des talons sur le marbre attira mon attention vers le couloir. À travers le panneau de la porte vitrée, je vis une scène qui me brisa le cœur.
Henry marchait d'un pas assuré dans le couloir, son costume gris anthracite parfaitement ajusté, sa présence imposante faisait instinctivement se déplacer les autres patients et le personnel. Deux hommes de sécurité l'encadraient, leurs oreillettes brillant sous les lumières de l'hôpital.
Mais c'était la femme à son bras qui me fit serrer l'estomac. Isabella Scott, dans un tailleur blanc de créateur qui coûtait probablement plus que le salaire mensuel de la plupart des gens, sa main posée possessivement sur l'avant-bras d'Henry.
Ils n'étaient pas là pour Billy. Bien sûr que non. Je savais qu'Henry était là pour accompagner Isabella à un examen médical. Après tout, Isabella était son premier amour.
Je m'enfonçai plus profondément dans mon fauteuil, mais mon mouvement attira l'œil d'Henry. Pendant un instant, nos regards se croisèrent à travers la vitre. Ses yeux gris étaient froids et dédaigneux, le même regard qu'il m'avait lancé pendant cinq ans. Puis il se détourna, menant Isabella devant notre porte sans un regard en arrière.
Billy bougea dans son sommeil, murmurant doucement "Papa". Je me levai et allai à son chevet, ajustant doucement sa couverture. Dans son sommeil, ses traits se détendaient, et je pouvais voir des traces de l'homme que j'avais rencontré cette nuit-là, il y a cinq ans—l'Henry Harding qui avait été gentil, qui m'avait fait rire, qui m'avait regardée comme si j'avais de l'importance.
Cependant, cet homme avait disparu au matin, remplacé par l'étranger froid qui m'avait épousée trois mois plus tard pour satisfaire les exigences de son grand-père. Parce que mon père les avait aidés lors d'une crise financière, le grand-père d'Henry voulait établir une bonne relation avec notre famille. C'était ridicule qu'une famille de classe moyenne puisse aider une famille riche, mais c'est exactement ce qui s'était passé.
Je déposai un baiser sur le front de Billy, vérifiant sa température. La fièvre semblait avoir un peu diminué. Dehors, la ville qui ne dort jamais scintillait de mille feux, mais ici, dans la chambre 1630, tout mon monde se résumait à la montée et à la descente régulières de la poitrine de mon fils.
"Si j'avais su, Henry", pensai-je en regardant la porte par laquelle il avait disparu avec Isabella. "Si j'avais su que tu l'avais toujours aimée, je ne t'aurais jamais épousé".

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.

Crossing Lines
Noah
I was here to prove myself—
One last shot at football, at freedom, at a future no one ever thought I’d deserve.
And then I met him.
Coach Aiden Mercer.
Cold. Demanding. Built like a legend and twice as ruthless.
From the first command, I wanted to fight him.
From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.

He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…

Breaking him down until he begged for what he swore he didn’t need.
This was not supposed to get personal, but every second he disobeyed made me want to claim him harder.
And if he crossed the line…
I’d make damn sure he never forgot who he belonged to.

“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.

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."
The mafia princess return
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.
