Amour Pur

La pluie tambourinait contre les vitres de la salle de classe vide. Élise resta immobile devant le tableau, les yeux fixés sur la porte que Monsieur Deveraux venait de franchir. Son cœur battait encore la chamade, résonnant du compliment qu'il venait de lui faire sur sa dernière dissertation. "Vous avez un talent rare, Élise. Une sensibilité qui transcende les mots." Ces paroles tournaient en boucle dans son esprit. Elle avait dix-huit ans et se croyait préparée à tout. Mais pas à ça. Pas à ce regard qu'il avait posé sur elle, différent de celui qu'il réservait aux autres élèves. Un regard qui la voyait vraiment, au-delà de l'étudiante modèle qu'elle s'efforçait d'être. Elle ignorait encore que ce professeur d'histoire-géographie, respecté de tous, cachait un secret qui allait bouleverser sa vie : il était le père adoptif de Lucas, son meilleur ami d'enfance. Celui qu'elle n'avait pas revu depuis cinq ans, depuis que sa famille avait déménagé mystérieusement. Et elle ignorait surtout que dans quelques jours, lors d'un dîner de famille organisé par sa mère, veuve depuis deux ans et nouvellement amoureuse, elle allait découvrir que son nouveau beau-père n'était autre que... Monsieur Deveraux. L'amour peut-il vraiment conquérir tous les obstacles, même les plus moralement inacceptables ? Certaines histoires ne devraient jamais commencer. Celle-ci était l'une d'entre elles. Et pourtant...

"Do you love him?", He asked I again tried to speak but he cut me off. "YES or NO". I nodded in YES. I love him in a brotherly way. "I thought that you were different, but I forgot about your background. I had purchased you from the red-light area. Soon or later, whore like you would have surely shown their true color, isn't it?" He drily laughed. And then, held my arm harshly and started dragging me, god knows where? He didn't even care that I was in pain. I keep staring at his face. I can't believe the day which I always wanted to come i.e. when I will actually be free from this cage, will come. But I was not feeling about him. It made me feel that I had started loving this cage...He pushed me away, and two arms collected me before I could have fallen down. I know that it belongs to my brother. Struck by physical pain and mental shock, I could bear it no longer and fainted in his arms. I finally understood that the most intolerable thing in a relationship was cheating. Without trust, our relationship was so vulnerable!

Ofelia Rosario - I take pride in being smart, careful, and independent. Fostering a pregnant cat was supposed to be the one soft thing in my life—until the fire. I stayed too long trying to save Spitfire, and I nearly didn’t make it out. But Zach Dayton pulled me from the flames—calm, strong, and way too charming. He’s everything I shouldn’t want. Everything that scares me. But he keeps showing up, helping, and making me laugh when I want to cry. And Spitfire? She seems convinced we belong together. Maybe love isn’t something you can logic your way around. Maybe it’s something you lean into. Zach Dayton - Falling in love isn’t supposed to feel more dangerous than running into a burning building. But then there’s Ofelia—stubborn, guarded, beautiful Ofelia. I was just doing my job when I found her trying to shield a pregnant cat from the smoke. But the second I saw her, something shifted. I’ve always believed I’m not built for love—too much loss, too many close calls. But she makes me want to try anyway. The way she looks at me, the way she fights for that cat, for herself… she doesn’t need a hero. But maybe she’ll let me be hers anyway. Book 8 in the Ravenwood Series. It can be read as a standalone.
