His eyelids were heavy, and his whole body hurt.He felt crushed, completely broken.When he finally opened his eyes, he saw the faint light of a dawn enter through the windows of the room.That’s when he realized where he was.That was not Lecomte’s room, and when his gaze ran through the wide room, he saw not far from the couch where he was, sitting in an armchair with his eyes closed, Rosalie.Duncan looked at his watch, clocked five and fifteen in the morning.He realized he was shirtless, and her remains were lying in a corner, she was covered in dried blood.The man passed his hand on his belly and felt the bandage, his gaze returned to Rosalie, asleep.Her face was marked by recent tears, as if she had spent the night veiling her sleep.It touched him in a way that made him miss him terribly when he was your husband.And it made him want to tell you who he really was.When he tried to sit down, a remote that was on the couch fell to the floor, the noise woke her:" What? What’s

Rosalie spent the first night thinking about François, how close he was. The last man she had cared for like that had been Duncan, her husband. Rosalie closed her eyes, aware of the pain in her heart... It was enough to think of Duncan, that she felt like she was drowning, and no one would ever save her. The woman got up, and went to get ready for work. The days passed, as she avoided François altogether, leaving early and arriving late. She let François recover to his time at home. [...] On the sixth day, Rosalie again arrived late from work, the moment Rosalie crossed the room she paralyzed. And he heard a sound he hadn’t heard in a long time... It was the sound of Bastien’s laugh... She turned to the sound, walking towards the kitchen. When the woman appeared at the entrance, she came across her son sitting in a chair near the table. François was standing next to him, cooking something as they both laughed and talked about the game on TV on the wall. That made her para

Rosalie sighed, and when François released her, she cursed herself. Why did you compare him to Duncan? That was the worst thing to say to a man who was as close as he was. François looked at her, but Rosalie was surprised by what she saw. There was a darkness in those eyes, one that wasn’t there before. It was as if the night was rising in his eyes, and at the same time, it seemed that that man was about to cry. That didn’t make any sense to her. Rosalie swallowed it hard, tried to fix things. " I didn’t mean that you look like Duncan, not in that sense of..." " The way I touched it? " He was too direct. Her heart rate increased. Rosalie swallowed hard again and turned her back on him, her hand involuntarily went to her heart, as if she could make it beat slower. She heard his footsteps behind her, and suddenly his hands wrapped her up again. Wrapping her waist, her warmth invading her. In his ear, he whispered, " Dream about me tonight, Rosalie. " She held her breath

Duncan returned home after dealing with the mob, ensuring that his men found out all about Jacopo’s criminal works. When he returned to Lecomte’s huge apartment, he answered several work calls. For now, Rosalie was protected. He had placed more of his men around the house, and in his work. He also observed through the cameras that he owned in his company everything that she did. He also observed Louie, apparently his younger brother was quiet. Due to Rosalie’s recent success, he imagined that the man was holding out on the shore. Duncan did not nail his eye that night, Rosalie’s sweet scent was still intense in his mind, the touch of his hands on her skin, the way her body had corresponded to him... All that tormented him in a maddening way, all he wanted at that moment was to get up from his bed and follow up to his keys, take his car and drive to the mansion. He wanted to enter his old house, walk to his old room and tear off his wife’s clothes, have her in his arms, kiss ev

Duncan returned to Lecomte’s apartment. When the man lay in his bed, he remembered his daughter, doing everything to make him reveal himself. He sighed heavily, aware that it was not time to do that. How would you explain something that even he didn’t understand? What if she even suspected something was wrong, didn’t believe him and told Rosalie everything? If he were seen by his family as a crazy tax and decided to drive him away he would not stand... Duncan decided to change things. The lack Rosalie made was crushing him deeply, but she knew she would not let him get close to her while her heart was so clinging to the memory of her former self. She still saw and behaved as Duncan Valois' wife, not as his widow. He was in Lecomte’s body, he needed to conquer it. The man got up from the bed and walked to the desk, taking paper and pen, he began his plan. [...] When Rosalie crossed the living room, she dropped her purse on a small table and sat sighing. The woman took one o

The girl was momentarily paralyzed. François had almost his whole body on his mother, she pronounced: " Mother? "The man stood up in an instant, and Angelika did not stay to see how indecent her mother was. The girl ran down the big house, down some stairs towards the secret family room. I felt I needed to be alone. She heard the voices coming after her, and the steps getting closer. Angelika finally reached the secret room, and used facial recognition to enter. The girl entered the room without windows, she ran her hands across her face and sighed. His heart was pounding. Her mother and François were together, she thought. [...] Rosalie stood up from the couch, her face burning as Angelika ran through the room. " Wait, Rosalie! " François held her by the arm and wrapped her in his coat. By God... she was just wearing a bra. She nodded, unable to look him in the eye. I was terribly embarrassed. The woman got rid of the man and followed behind Angelika, heading toward

The woman looked at the advertising in front of her, the marketing had done an excellent job in publicizing her new pieces. All the latest on the market. She was standing, partially sitting on her own desk behind her. In front of him, the picture with the marketing work, and Leonor was next to him. Rosalie had her hair tied back, and wore a dark coat. " When will this campaign be launched? " asked Leonor. The secretary replied promptly: " In a week’s time, ma'am." Rosalie did the math. Then the campaign of the new model of car parts of the Lecomte Group would come out earlier. " Get him out in two days. " she said.

" The Lecomte group will see this as a personal attack, the other companies do not launch their products on the same day as them." recalled the secretary. " I don’t care."

She trembled, smelling his pleasant, masculine smell. François had an overwhelming effect on Rosalie, making her feel nervous in her presence. The fact that he was so confident and self-assured could have something to do with it. The man seemed to desire her intensely, but when the woman looked into her eyes, there seemed to be something deeper and more complex behind her advances. Rosalie retreated, separating them both from that fiery closeness. The woman looked up to aim at those green eyes, determined to put an end to it. Even if I had given in that day by kissing him... I knew I wasn’t ready to stop being Duncan’s wife. It didn’t matter if he was dead. She opened her mouth, but before she could speak the words, he interrupted her: " Don’t say anything. I know what you’ll say, and I ask you not to." She blinked, unable to understand it, he was trying to silence her so he wouldn’t dismiss him? " I know you’re afraid of what you feel. I can’t just say not to, you don’t kn

Rosalie was dragged with brutality to a room that looked more like a prison, where a constant coming and going of women came and went, as if they were participating in a sinister ritual. The environment, although spacious, conveyed a sense of oppression. The light walls, although beautiful, seemed to close on it, making the space even more claustrophobic. In the center of the room, a majestic canopy bed dominated the scene, and a large, luxurious mirror, reflecting the agony in Rosalie’s eyes, adorned one of the walls.In the corner of the room, strategically positioned as a sinister trophy, was a long wedding dress, a masterpiece of pure silk. The bust of the dress was precisely carved, a straight cut that unfolded elegantly in a long tail, which flowed like a river of satin.Rosalie needed no explanation to understand what was happening to her at that distressing time.

Victor stared at his wife with a mixture of curiosity and disdain. The last time I saw her, she was trapped, inert in a bed, unable to offer any resistance.

Victor stood in front of a small table, pouring himself a glass of wine, when the woman surprised him by entering his room unceremoniously.With tranquility, he continued to pour the red liquid into his glass, lifted it to his lips and drank, enjoying the sensation of the wine sliding down his throat.— I can’t say I’m surprised to see you here. Louie is notoriously incompetent when it comes to you - Victor uttered with a touch of cynicism. Rosalie, in turn, remained haughty, not yielding to the pressure that the situation imposed.— What is the purpose behind your kidnapping? After all, what use can I have for you now? Duncan will chase you to the ends of the earth to rescue me.A mocking smile danced on Victor’s lips.— Your suggestion is that I give it to him, so that

When the plane finally landed, Rosalie felt the weight of uncertainty on her shoulders. He was now in a foreign country, far from his homeland, and was unsure if Duncan had been able to track the plane’s path. The sense of helplessness consumed her, and she wondered what Victor planned for her destiny.Louie, the dark accomplice who had dragged her into this nightmare, held her by the arm, a continual reminder of the violence hanging over her.
