Ellis Carter

Blake pinned me against the edge of the desk, his fingertips scorching, papers scattering across the floor. "Stop lying to yourself," he murmured coldly, "You need me."

I should have hated him—his father was the prime suspect in my parents' death, yet his touch made me tremble. "I hate you…" I gritted my teeth, but my voice was weak.

He smirked, his grip tightening, "Yet your body is responding to me." His fingers slid deeper, "So wet, and you still say you don’t want me?"

"Ah…Blake…" I arched my back, my sanity crumbling.

He chuckled softly, "Good girl."


Emma lost both of her parents when she was fifteen. After being adopted by the Reynolds family for ten years, she was betrayed by her boyfriend Gavin, with whom she had been in a relationship for five years. Then fate led her to an emotional entanglement with Blake from her partner company, but it also hinted that the car accident that caused her parents' deaths seemed to be related to Blake's father...

The man who healed her wounds might be the son of the man who destroyed her life. Thunder roared as Blake’s key turned: "Emma?" Standing before the evidence, her heart was torn. When love and vengeance collided, what would she choose?

Blake beni masanın kenarına sıkıştırdı, parmak uçları yakıcıydı, kağıtlar yere saçıldı. "Kendine yalan söylemeyi bırak," diye soğukça fısıldadı, "Bana ihtiyacın var."

Ondan nefret etmeliydim—babası, ebeveynlerimin ölümünün baş şüphelisiydi, ama dokunuşu beni titretiyordu. "Senden nefret ediyorum…" Dişlerimi sıktım, ama sesim zayıftı.

Gülümsedi, kavrayışı sıkılaştı, "Ama bedenin bana cevap veriyor." Parmakları daha derine kaydı, "Bu kadar ıslak ve hala beni istemediğini mi söylüyorsun?"

"Ah… Blake…" Sırtımı yay gibi geriye doğru büküldüm, aklım dağılıyordu.

Yumuşakça güldü, "Aferin kızım."


Emma on beş yaşındayken her iki ebeveynini de kaybetti. Reynolds ailesi tarafından on yıl boyunca evlat edinildikten sonra, beş yıldır birlikte olduğu erkek arkadaşı Gavin tarafından ihanete uğradı. Sonra kader onu iş ortağı şirketten Blake ile duygusal bir karmaşaya sürükledi, ancak bu aynı zamanda ebeveynlerinin ölümüne sebep olan araba kazasının Blake'in babasıyla ilgili olabileceğini de işaret ediyordu...

Yaralarını iyileştiren adam, hayatını mahveden adamın oğlu olabilir miydi? Blake'in anahtarı dönerken gök gürledi: "Emma?" Kanıtların önünde dururken, kalbi parçalanıyordu. Aşk ve intikam çarpıştığında, neyi seçecekti?

"What's wrong?" I asked, pulling my silk robe tight.

Theron's voice remained controlled and cold. "You are not the biological daughter of the Reed family, and they've found their real daughter."

My face drained of color. I had planned to explain everything upon his return, but Victoria had beaten me to it.

"What do you intend to do about our marriage?" I forced myself to ask directly.

"Marriage for me is a procedure, regardless of who it's with." With that, he picked up his briefcase and left.

Six years ago, Leila's fake heiress identity was exposed. Theron ruthlessly divorced her, and she was framed for attempted murder. Only after the divorce did she discover she was carrying his child. Blacklisted and desperate, she survived in a basement until her real family found her—she was the lost princess of Chicago's powerful Randall Family.

She gave birth to precious twins, but was told her baby boy didn't survive, leaving only her beloved daughter. What she didn't know was that destiny had other plans.

Six years later, a business venture brought her back to San Francisco, where she faced her cold ex-husband—who had a five-year-old son. Even more twisted - he was now her patient, completely at her mercy. Gone was his former arrogance; now he pursued her with desperate intensity. Could she ever forgive the man who destroyed her, or would she make him pay for the hell he put her through?
