تسجيل الدخولCrecieron compartiendo secretos en los rincones más prohibidos de un imperio construido sobre sangre y poder. Ella, una simple hija del jefe de seguridad de la temida familia Monsalve; él, Lucian, el heredero intocable de una dinastía criminal. Lo que empezó como juegos de infancia se transformó en un romance clandestino, feroz y absoluto, donde él le juró hacerla su mujer desafiando las leyes del clan. Pero el patriarca, implacable, jamás permitiría que una “indigna” manchara su linaje. Una trampa cruel y perfectamente tejida destrozó su mundo. Convencido de que ella lo había traicionado con otro hombre, Lucian se cegó de rencor, cayendo en los brazos de la hija de un poderoso capo con él que su abuelo quería crear una alianza, formando una familia. Sola y marcada por la deshonra, ella cargó en secreto con el fruto de su gran amor: un hijo concebido en la clandestinidad que, trágicamente, perdió, convirtiéndolo en un altar sagrado de dolor mientras soportaba un infierno que él jamás imaginó. Cuatro años después, el destino los vuelve a enfrentar en el peor escenario. Ella sobrevive atrapada en un matrimonio impuesto con el hombre que Lucian culpa de su traición, sufriendo los ultrajes de la propia esposa de Lucian y de su propia sangre. Ahora, él gobierna con mano de hierro sobre estas tierras, alimentando un resentimiento venenoso que lo ciega. Sin embargo, cuando las piezas ocultas del pasado comiencen a desmoronarse y Lucian descubra la verdad de lo que ella ha vivido, las cosas darán un giro tan violento como inesperado. Entre el odio, el dominio absoluto y los celos corrosivos, las cenizas de aquel primer amor encenderán un torrente de pasiones incontrolables. Una obra donde la verdad amenaza con destruirlo todo, demostrando que existen sentimientos capaces de sobrevivir a la maldad más oscura.
عرض المزيدLAUREN'S POV.
" Get into the formation properly ", Justin's voice boomed across the training ground . " You are too slow Lauren ", He directed a negative comment at me for the hundredth time this evening . I was doing better than most but he continued to criticize every move l made . Anger pumped through my body as I pushed myself to go more faster but I couldn't.
" More faster Lauren ", He continued to yell as I ran and this time l regretted why I even joined . I decided to run all because of my best friend Cassie . She was a model and this is what she did every evening . She always ran with different people in the field in order to be fit . As a friend I always escorted her , did training which was all fine but then today l realized it late that my ex boyfriend Justin was the one acting as our coach.
I tried to run again though l was hearing whispers sniggering behind me . They were all wondering why he was only yelling at me , no body knew that he was my ex . " Fuck this am done with this ", I inwardly facepalmed when I heard him yell at me again. I wasn't even working in a modelling company so this was all useless to me .
" No more running ", I wasn't ready to take this shit anymore. At least not from that bastard. He was obviously picking up on me all because l broke up with him . Stopping dead in my tracks , l didn't dare look at his face as l started to walk off the field . " LAUREN ", His voice sounded full of rage but I didn't care . This was totally enough . I came in peace but now things had turned bad .
Before l could make it off the field , l saw Cassie my best friend walk quickly towards me . " Lauren ", she called me loudly as she tried to catch up with me . " Am sorry , l didn't know that he was going to assist Coach Peter ", she explained while catching up her breath . " It's fine , it's late let's go back home ", l replied uninterested.
" Let's go but John is gonna sleep over ", She uttered out as she walked towards the changing room . " I don't mind ", l shrugged my shoulders . John was her boyfriend and I didn't mind . Walking off from the field , l showered quickly then made my way to the bed giving space to Cassie and her boyfriend . I was already worn out and needed a rest.

" John fuck right there" ,
I groaned out and rolled on the other side of the bed . I tried to sleep again but the moaning got more louder than before . It was already late ih the night and since John had slept over , l wasn't shocked . " Yes am about to cum , am cumming ... " , The cries got more louder.
" Darn it ,my goodness " , Finding it unbearable l lastly jumped out of my bed. My sleep was already gone .
I got out of my room faster and made my way to the kitchen but still l could hear the moans . As l closed up the kitchen door , l inwardly tried to tell myself that my roommate and her boyfriend having sex was normal but still it was unbearable . " Okay , okay it's fine " , l murmured to myself before sipping down the glass of water .
After placing down the glass on the counter , l walked and sat down in the corner of the kitchen . With my current situation , it was better to stay with a nosy person than sleep on the cold streets . I had no money to afford renting my own apartment , so now I had to bear up with their sex noises .
Seated down on the floor , l tried not to fall asleep but as thoughts about my life flowed in my mind , l felt sleep slowly claim me . I knew it that in the morning , l will wake up with my neck aching but l didn't care . This was better than my past life . I used to sleep on cold cemented floors until when my roommate Cassie , pitied me and told me to stay with her .
***
Morning came to soon and as soon as the light lit up in the kitchen window , l instantly stood up from the floor . " Ouch ! " , I stretched my neck then made my way upstairs . As soon as I entered in my room , l made my way to the bathroom then showered quickly . After drying myself , l dressed up in my low rise jeans and a black t-shirt , they were so old that even the wording in the front was completely erased .
I left the restroom with every thing done but then as l beelined in the living room , my eyes fall on the lover birds . They were cuddling on the couch , whispering to each other in hushed tones and smiling . Seeing them like this , it brought a pang in my chest . It wasn't because I was jealousy . I just wanted to get too a caring person like Cassie got but then unfortunately love wasn't for me , just like Justin all the men just wave off at me.
" Anything you want Lauren " , just as l was lost in my thoughts , Cassie's voice distracted me . " You could have resisted the urge to have sex until when l walk out" , l scolded but while putting up an act . She wasn't only my roommate but my best friend so I didn't care about her enjoying her life .
" I tried Lauren trust me but it's just that the dirty talking got me all hot and bothered " , she purred and l fake gagged . " Urgh what a best friend , am soon getting my boyfriend too " , l replied and she showed me her tongue in response . " Stop doubting , anyway Breakfast is already in the kitchen" , I retorted . " Have a nice day " , she waved at me and then l stormed out of the house .
Out of the house , l made my way to the road to catch the timed bus . After boarding the bus , l got my phone and l started to scroll down my phone through a couple of slow romantic songs . I selected one of the songs of Selena Gomez then tilted my head and relaxed in my seat . Through out the whole drive , l was silent looking through the window as l listened to the music .
I kept staring at the different people and trees that blurred as the bus moved forward . They were different handsome hunks which l did like but unfortunately l was nothing to them . When the bus halted up , l speed walked out of it and made my way to the Evervess Company . I walked more fastly to the security line and then produced my ID card before briskly walking inside .
I took the elevator to the second floor and went into the bathroom . I changed into my uniform quickly , a white shirt and a black pencil skirt which stopped just above my knees . I currently got a job in Evervess company and l loved working there for some reason .
I checked myself in the mirror , took a deep breath then rushed to my place behind the desk . " Late again ? ", Just as l had sat down , the voice of my boss cut through the silence of the hall. " Yeah , just woke up to the same old morning routines " , l retorted while making my way to her office . I walked without any fear because Rachel my boss was my good friend . I have been working as her assistant manager for almost five months and she trusted me . I didn't earn much but still l liked the job .
" Good morning ", l greeted as soon as l entered in her office which screamed luxury . " Good morning too ", she gave me a small nod then gestured me to take a seat . I sat carefully as l watched her speak to someone on the phone . She talked for a pretty good time until when she turned to me with a frustrated look on her face.
" What's up madam ? ", I asked in a soft voice . " I need a favor Lauren ", she said in a low voice . " Sure ? ", My ears perked up . " You know it that our boss Mr Spencer wants to retire , yesterday during the meeting he informed us that his old son , Nelly is going to be our new CEO ", she explained .
" That's cool ", l replied with a smile on my face because it didn't bother me . " It isn't cool , he is going to be right here in an hour and you going to be his PA ", My eyes dilated open when l heard her say that .
" He is honestly harsh but you the first assistant who came up in my mind ", she continued and my mouth fall open in disbelief .
Capítulo 15. Insostenible. Atenea camina con rigidez, pasando por su lado. Cuando está a punto de culminar el descenso por la pendiente empinada, un mal paso traiciona sus piernas cansadas: intenta sujetarse de la rama de un árbol cercano, pero la tierra húmeda cede bajo sus zapatos y resbala de golpe. Antes de que alcance a golpear el suelo, los reflejos de Lucian actúan con presteza; se abalanza y la atrapa en el aire justo a tiempo, protegiéndola con su propio cuerpo al caer. En el impacto, Lucian se raspa levemente un brazo contra las rocas del camino, pero logra amortiguar la caída por completo.Atenea abre los ojos lentamente, con el rostro a pocos centímetros del suyo, y toma conciencia de la escena: él la sostiene firmemente, abrazándola con fuerza contra su pecho para protegerla del suelo, brindándole un refugio instintivo que la desarma.—¿Estás bien? —pregunta él con la voz alterada.—Yo… sí. Pero tú… estás herido—dice ella, incorporándose con prisa para quedar arrodil
Capítulo 14. Insostenible. Este encuentro es el preludio de una tormenta invisible que retumba en el pecho de ambos al mirarse. La cercanía, el peso del contacto físico y la memoria de lo que fueron los abruma y los quema en partes iguales. Ella evitaba encontrarse con con la urgencia de no ser vista, y él, por su parte, arrastraba la expectativa silenciosa de un reencuentro que el destino terminó por tejer de la forma más insospechada. Cada uno con motivaciones distintas, imaginando el día en que volverían a cruzarse, y ahora, están aquí, en este rincón apartado de la montaña, en un instante donde el tiempo parece detenerse por completo.Es inevitable. Lucian se muestra incapaz de resistirse al impulso de tocarla. Está completamente deslumbrado por lo hermosa que se ve; han pasado cuatro años y, sin embargo, al tenerla de frente es como si el tiempo no hubiera transcurrido. No obstante, los cambios en ambos son evidentes. Él se ha transformado en un hombre mucho más imponente, de
Capítulo 13. Reencuentro inesperado. Sin darme tiempo a reacción, una mano firme y cálida toma mi barbilla con una firmeza gélida e intensamente familiar, levantando mi rostro a la fuerza y obligándome a sostenerle la mirada en medio de la penumbra de la montaña. En el preciso instante en que nuestros ojos chocan, el tiempo se quiebra y los recuerdos del pasado me golpean como una marea desatada, una oleada de tormentas intensas, vibrantes e incontrolables que amenazan con arrastrarme al fondo de un abismo del que ya no puedo salir. Mi mente, atrapada en un trance agónico, viaja a través de nuestros recuerdos uno tras otro, con la velocidad vertiginosa de quien está muriendo y ve pasar toda su existencia en cuestión de segundos. El flash de nuestro primer encuentro, aquel momento de tensión magnética en que cruzamos miradas por primera vez rodeando el viejo árbol en los jardines de su propiedad. El eco de ese impacto que marcó el inicio de todo. Luego lo veo aguardando fuera de l
Capítulo 12. Triste infortunio. El bullicio del salón se disipa con la lentitud de los últimos minutos escolares. Los niños se forman uno a uno en fila india para la salida, y en el instante en que me pongo a su lado y tomo su pequeña mano, el niño me mira y me esboza una suave sonrisa que yo correspondo de manera instintivamente.—Muy bien, niños, todos detrás de Luciano, sin soltarse del hombro. Síganme —indico con un hilo de voz que apenas logra sostenerse.Todos me siguen en orden hacia la salida. En el exterior, la tensión se materializa de inmediato: sus antiguos hombres de confianza aguardan apostados en la entrada, y desde el interior de uno de los vehículos se adivina una silueta imponente que no logro descifrar si es su esposa. Mi corazón da un vuelco salvaje al fantasear con la posibilidad de que sea él. En ese preciso momento, Luciano aprieta ligeramente mi mano y su voz infantil rompe la atmósfera densa.—Gabriel —exclama el pequeño con naturalidad, reconociendo a uno d
