I thought I’d left Alexander behind ..the lies, the control, the heartbreak. I was done. I wanted a fresh start. A life without him. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. Alexander is no longer just a memory… he’s a sleeping partner in the company I just started working for. And the moment he discovers I’m the CEO’s Personal Assistant, he wakes. Claims his territory.

Eu fui linchada na internet pelas minhas próprias funcionárias que eram mães. Elas começaram a espalhar que a creche gratuita da empresa, feita especialmente para os filhos delas, era na verdade uma "prisão de crianças", um truque cruel para forçar horas extras. O que elas não sabiam era que aquela creche foi o meu projeto mais caro e mais amado: eu importei equipamentos de ponta, contratei professores de fora do país, montei uma estrutura em que cada criança custava, em média, oito mil reais por mês. Ainda assim, a internet inteira caiu matando em cima de mim, me chamando de palhaça, de hipócrita, de capitalista nojenta. Foi aí que eu perdi a paciência e soltei um comunicado interno para todos os funcionários: [Para atender ao desejo de autonomia das famílias na criação dos filhos, a empresa decidiu encerrar o serviço de creche gratuita. A partir de hoje, será substituído por um auxílio‑creche: funcionários que se encaixarem nos critérios receberão 200 reais por mês.] Bastou o aviso ser enviado para o caos começar. As mesmas mães que me xingavam estão agora em massa na porta da minha sala, implorando para eu não fechar a creche.

Cesare Xandri, the rising gangster of the Nalitan mafia, unexpectedly lost a bet at an elite private casino in Ithel, the kind that smells like cigar smoke and blood money. The penalty was simple, he had to call his hard-to-tame pet. The phone was on speaker. The men circled him, whistling and hooting, waiting to be entertained. He asked what I was up to in a relaxed and amused tone. I replied softly, insinuating he was sinful, hiding my defiance behind innocence and fake devotion. When I finished my insult, the room fell silent, then burst into loud and uncontrollable laughter. The call ended. Less than thirty minutes later, the mansion gates were smashed open. He stormed in smelling of gunpowder, a Beretta still in his hand. He pushed me against the wall furiously beneath the Virgin Mary statue. I leaned into him without hesitation, fingers brushing the heated gun, and I met his gaze without fear. I chose virtue and rejected him in my past life, in return I was thrown into the open sea to die. I intended to be his temptation when I got a second chance at life, I wanted to be a beautiful sin that ends his story under the Cecilian sun.
