A Esposa Contratual Do Ceo

Me desangraba en una esquina tras un ataque de una familia rival. Mi esposo, Dante —el subjefe de la familia Torrino— estaba en su auto, sosteniendo a la hermanita de su mejor amigo. Me lanzó una mirada fría y dijo: —Déjala. No es nadie. Más tarde, cuando otro me salvó, caminé a casa empapada en mi propia sangre. Encontré a Dante meciendo a Serafina, preocupadísimo por ella. Ella solo tenía una rodilla raspada. ¿Y la sangre que cubría mi ropa? Ni siquiera la vio. Solo observé. No dije nada. Luego saqué mi teléfono y llamé a mi madre: —Mamá, necesito volver a casa.

After ten years together, Aiden, my Alpha, my first and only love, finally promised to hold the mating ceremony with me during the Spring Hunt Festival. I was overjoyed. That night, at the festival party, I downed a few extra glasses of wine. However, Aiden, who had always been so gentle with me, suddenly became someone I didn't recognize. He scolded me, said I was unfit to be the future Luna if I couldn’t even follow the rules, and shoved me out of the car. Drunk and dazed, I was left alone in the dangerous Shadow Forest. Terrified but unwilling to break, I walked through that forest for five hours in the dead of night. When I finally made it back to our home, I heard him in the other room, sending a voice message to Seraphina, his first love. "If you’re willing to come back," he said, his voice soft and warm, "I’ll do anything for you." Seraphina replied, "Even cancel the mating ceremony?" Time stopped. I silently counted to thirteen. Then, I heard his answer: "Yes." Listening to that voice—the one that used to whisper promises to me—I cried. If that was what he truly wanted, then maybe calling off the ceremony was for the best. So, to spare him the choice, I fled. On the day of our mating ceremony, I disappeared. No one expected what came next. The proud, composed Alpha Aiden went mad trying to find me.

Years after graduation, someone suddenly tags me in the class group chat. "Mr. Warren is gravely ill, Mira. Aren't you going to do anything? You really are heartless!" I only realize what's going on when I click on the fundraising link in the chat. Our high school homeroom teacher, Joseph Warren, has late-stage cancer. Thus, Lyra Fairfield, the class belle, is leading a fundraiser and patient-donor matching process. "I'll donate ten thousand dollars. My husband is the director of Waverly General Hospital, and I've already asked him to arrange a VIP ward for Mr. Warren." Right after I send that message, the group pounces on me. "Mira, you contracted an STD back then and tried to pin it on Lyra. She didn't even hold it against you, and now you're trying to steal her thunder? You're unbelievable!" "I can't believe you're still lying through your teeth during such a serious situation. You never change, do you?" Lyra immediately defuses the tension. "Mira, I don't blame you for what happened in the past, but you really shouldn't impersonate the director's wife. I've already arranged the ward and surgery, and I'm donating another 100 thousand dollars to Mr. Warren!" I'm this close to laughing out of sheer anger. She's the one who scratched her name off the diagnosis report and framed me for having an STD all those years ago. I never even confronted her about it, and now she's playing the victim? Lyra soon posts a photo in the group chat, showing off her husband's car. Yet, when I see the man in the passenger seat, I guffaw. Isn't that my husband's driver? When did he start running a hospital?

A town with a strange past. A group of teenagers with secrets to hide. A world inside a box and a man who should no longer exist. Will they ever find out where they truly belong?

My wife, Lindsey Kelsey, suffers from an aversion to intimacy. For ten years of marriage, she pushed me away again and again. Then, on our anniversary, she abandoned me and, in front of the crowd, kissed another man with reckless passion before the two of them walked hand in hand into a luxury hotel. Afterward, Lindsey brazenly declared that a real man should be magnanimous, not petty. Magnanimous? Then I wish them both eternal bliss—may they be bound so tightly they can never break free from one another. Later, I handed Lindsey the divorce papers with a blank expression. I was determined to walk away from her. But Lindsey went mad when she realized she couldn't find me anymore.

Cuando mi hermana menor se fue al extranjero, terminé casándome con el Don de la mafia en su lugar. Cinco años después, no éramos más que dos extraños que se odiaban a muerte. Él me despreciaba, de verdad. Estaba convencido de que había echado a mi hermana para quedarme con su puesto, armando todo un plan. Por mi parte, lo odiaba, porque siempre me trató como si fuera un simple reemplazo, negándome un lugar en el mundo. Mi falta de lugar en esa casa avergonzó tanto a mis padres, que el amor que me tenían se pudrió hasta volverse odio. Al final, mientras ellos celebraban la Navidad con mi hermana, él y mis padres me dejaron tirada en esa montaña nevada. Bajo ese frío que calaba los huesos, di mi último aliento junto al hijo que nunca pude cargar en mis brazos. Mientras yo me consumía en el frío, ella era el centro de atención, disfrutando de todo el cariño en la mejor Navidad de su vida. Pero al abrir los ojos de nuevo, estaba de vuelta en el día que ella regresó. Esta vez, no pienso mendigarles ni un poco de amor ni a Gideon ni a mis padres.

Después de cuatro años de matrimonio, Alejandro Giraldo, quien nunca publicaba en redes sociales, sorprendentemente subió un post: «¡Vaya, gatita golosa y antojadiza!» La foto mostraba a una chica con una diadema rosa de orejas de gato, comiendo barbacoa y sacando la lengua con las mejillas rojas por el picante. Era Mariana Ospina, la nueva presentadora de su empresa. En menos de un minuto, un amigo en común comentó: «¡Te olvidaste de cambiar de cuenta!» Así que la nueva publicación de Alejandro desapareció sumamente rápido, pero pronto reapareció en las redes sociales de Mariana. Poco después, entró la llamada de Alejandro. Antes, yo habría guardado capturas de pantalla y lo habría llamado primero para reclamarle; definitivamente no habríamos terminado sin una pelea. Pero, esta vez, muy consideradamente, esperé hasta que la llamada se cortara sin contestar.
