When they first met, Tang Wan sighed, “The fifth young master of the Jiang family is just as the rumors said. He’s celibate, aloof, prideful, and is a man to be revered. Unfortunately, he’s so smart that he no longer has any will to live, which made him sickly, and he’s going to die soon… Later on, the fifth young master brought her into his room. When she came out, everyone stared at her in shock. Why was she crying? …… Later on, it was said that the fifth young master returned after he recovered from his illness, and he brought a girl back. She appeared pure and harmless, but underneath that harmless appearance, she was actually a spitfire that offended quite a number of people. But the fifth young master just said, “I brought her back, so I’ll let her do whatever she wants. If… anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.” His best friend gave him a reminder. “You’re going to be responsible for someone from the Tang family?” “Since she came back with me, she’s mine. She’s just a young girl and is spoilt. I have to take responsibility.” After Tang Wan married into the Jiang family, she only had one mission. She must give birth to his children before he died! Meanwhile, the fifth young master was puzzled. “You’re a gentle and shy girl during the day, so why are you so different during the night?” Tang Wan thought. ‘I have to make every second count. He won’t be able to live long.’ After she gave birth to his son and he became one year old, Tang Wan was prepared to become a widow. However… ‘Why isn’t he dead yet?’ Much later, the fifth master of the Jiang family asked her, “I heard that you’ve been looking for my death every day. Do you want to kill me by sucking me dry?”

"Kiss me, Cole," I begged, my head sinking back into the seat. "I…" He leaned in just a little, his lips close enough for me to taste his breath, but then he stopped. "Not now, Mia," he said with that smug voice. His hand trailed lower, gliding over my belly, fingers slipping under the waistband of my trousers. He didn't even hesitate—his fingers dipped lower, brushing over the wetness soaking through my panties. "Damn," he groaned in my ear. "You're fucking soaked."

"Du wolltest mich nie", Evas Stimme zitterte, aber ihr Blick blieb fest, als sie Maxmillan anfunkelte. "Du warst zu geblendet von deiner Liebe zu Sara, um die Wahrheit zu sehen." Maximilian ballte seine Fäuste, sein Kiefer angespannt. "Glaubst du, ich bereue es nicht? Jeden Moment, Eva. Jeden Moment, in dem ich dir wehgetan habe..." "Mir wehgetan?" unterbrach sie ihn, ihre Augen voller Zorn. "Du hast mich ruiniert, Max. Du hast zugelassen, dass meine Schwester und Stiefmutter mich zerstören, und als ich dich am meisten brauchte, hast du mir den Rücken zugewandt, du hast mich durch die Hölle gehen lassen." Seine Brust verengte sich. "Ich lag falsch. Das weiß ich jetzt, aber..." "Aber es ist zu spät", fauchte sie. "Ich bin nicht mehr das hilflose Mädchen, das du zurückgelassen hast. Ich bin zurückgekommen, um zu holen, was mir gehört." Max' Stimme wurde sanfter, fast flehend. "Und was, wenn ich ein Teil dessen bin, was dir gehört?"

"Nunca me quisiste", la voz de Eva tembló, pero su mirada era firme mientras miraba a Maxmillan. "Estabas demasiado cegado por tu amor por Sara para ver la verdad." Maximilian apretó los puños, con la mandíbula tensa. "¿Crees que no me arrepiento? Cada momento, Eva. Cada momento que pasé haciéndote daño.." "¿Haciéndome daño?" lo interrumpió, sus ojos llenos de ira. "Me arruinaste, Max. Dejaste que mi hermana y mi madrastra me destruyeran, y cuando más te necesitaba, me diste la espalda, me hiciste pasar por un infierno." Su pecho se tensó. "Me equivoqué. Lo sé ahora, pero..." "Pero es demasiado tarde", espetó. "Ya no soy la chica indefensa que dejaste atrás. He vuelto por lo que es mío." La voz de Max se suavizó, casi suplicante. "¿Y si yo soy parte de lo que es tuyo?"

"Você nunca me quis", a voz de Eva tremia, mas seu olhar era firme enquanto ela encarava Maxmillan. "Você estava muito cego pelo seu amor por Sara para ver a verdade." Maximilian cerrou os punhos, sua mandíbula tensa. "Você acha que eu não me arrependo? A cada momento, Eva. Cada momento que passei te machucando.." "Me machucando?" ela o interrompeu, seus olhos cheios de raiva. "Você me arruinou, Max. Você deixou minha irmã e madrasta me destruírem, e quando eu mais precisei de você, você me deu as costas, você me fez passar pelo inferno." O peito dele apertou. "Eu estava errado. Eu sei disso agora, mas..." "Mas é tarde demais", ela respondeu bruscamente. "Eu não sou mais aquela garota indefesa que você deixou para trás. Eu voltei para pegar o que é meu." A voz de Max suavizou, quase implorando. "E se eu for parte do que é seu?" Os lábios de Eva se curvaram em um sorriso amargo. "Talvez.

Maximilian serra les poings, la mâchoire crispée. "Tu penses que je ne le regrette pas ? Chaque instant, Eva. Chaque instant où je t'ai fait souffrir.." "Me faire souffrir ?" coupa-t-elle, ses yeux remplis de colère. "Tu m'as détruite, Max. Tu as laissé ma sœur et ma belle-mère me détruire, et quand j'avais le plus besoin de toi, tu m'as tourné le dos, tu m'as fait traverser l'enfer." Sa poitrine se serra. "J'avais tort. Je le sais maintenant, mais..." "Mais c'est trop tard," lança-t-elle. "Je ne suis plus la fille sans défense que tu as laissée derrière toi. Je suis revenue pour récupérer ce qui m'appartient." La voix de Max s'adoucit, presque suppliante. "Et si je fais partie de ce qui t'appartient ?" Les lèvres d'Eva se courbèrent en un sourire amer. "Peut-être. Ou peut-être que je te détruirai comme tu m'as détruite." ******* Forcée dans un mariage sans amour pour sauver l'entreprise de sa famille, Eva endure la cruauté de son mari, Maximilian, qui croit qu'elle a manipulé son grand-père pour qu'il la choisisse comme épouse.

"Beni asla istemedin," Eva'nın sesi titredi, ancak bakışları Maxmillan'a bakarken sabitti. "Sara'ya olan aşkınla gerçeği göremeyecek kadar kördün." Maximilian yumruklarını sıktı, çenesi gergin. "Pişman olmadığımı mı sanıyorsun? Her an, Eva. Sana zarar verdiğim her an.." "Bana zarar vermek mi?" diye sözünü kesti, gözleri öfkeyle doluydu. "Beni mahvettin, Max. Kız kardeşimin ve üvey annemin beni yok etmesine izin verdin ve sana en çok ihtiyacım olduğunda, bana sırtını döndün, beni cehenneme sürükledin." Göğsü sıkıştı. "Yanılmışım. Şimdi bunu biliyorum, ama..." "Ama artık çok geç," diye çıkıştı. "Artık arkanda bıraktığın çaresiz kız değilim. Bana ait olanı almak için geri döndüm." Max'ın sesi yumuşadı, neredeyse yalvarıyordu. "Ya ben de sana ait olanın bir parçasıysam?" Eva'nın dudakları acı bir gülümsemeye büründü. "Belki. Ya da belki de beni mahvettiğin gibi seni mahvedeceğim." ******* Ailesinin işletmesini kurtarmak için sevgisiz bir evliliğe zorlanan Eva, kocası Maximilian'ın ona karşı acımasızlığına katlanmak zorunda kalır.

"Kau tidak pernah menginginkanku," suara Eva bergetar, tapi tatapannya mantap saat ia menatap tajam Maxmillan. "Kau terlalu dibutakan oleh cintamu pada Sara untuk melihat kebenaran." Maximilian mengepalkan tinjunya, rahangnya kencang. "Kau pikir aku tidak menyesalinya? Setiap saat, Eva. Setiap saat yang kuhabiskan untuk menyakitimu.." "Menyakitiku?" ia memotong, matanya dipenuhi amarah. "Kau menghancurkanku, Max. Kau membiarkan saudari dan ibu tiriku menghancurkanku, dan ketika aku paling membutuhkanmu, kau membelakangiku, kau membuatku melewati neraka." Dadanya menegang. "Aku salah. Aku tahu itu sekarang, tapi..." "Tapi sudah terlambat," ia menimpali. "Aku bukan gadis tak berdaya yang kau tinggalkan. Aku kembali untuk mengambil apa yang menjadi milikku." Suara Max melembut, hampir memohon. "Dan bagaimana jika aku adalah bagian dari milikmu?" Bibir Eva melengkung menjadi senyum pahit. "Mungkin.
