A Filha Do Chefe Da Facção (morro)

Depois de três dias sem falar comigo, meu noivo, o Capo da família Moretti, levou sua assistente, Bella, para uma viagem a uma ilha. Ele esperava que eu ficasse louca de ciúmes, como sempre acontecia. Mas quando voltou para Valmont um mês depois, encontrou uma mulher diferente. Ele me fez abrir mão da minha sala da ponta. Eu não discuti. Apenas arrumei minhas coisas e entreguei. Para promover Bella, ele me descredibilizou na frente de um parceiro importante na reunião anual da família, só para que ela pudesse brilhar. Eu não tentei provar minha inocência. Apenas aceitei a repreensão da família e recebi minha punição. Quando Lucas quis colocar Bella no comando do negócio mais lucrativo da família, eu nem fiquei com raiva. Entreguei todos os documentos necessários sem discutir, deixando que ele redistribuísse o poder como quisesse. Bella estava cheia de si. — Viu? O que foi que eu te disse? — Uma mulher como ela só precisa de mão firme. Uma viagem pra ilha e ela já fica morrendo de medo de te perder. Olha como ela está obediente agora. Lucas acreditou, elogiando Bella pela “percepção”. Num gesto que nunca tinha feito antes, ele me prometeu um casamento tão grandioso que se tornaria uma lenda no submundo de Valmont. Mas ele parecia ter esquecido o acordo de dissolução que assinou — aquele que eu deslizei para ele pouco antes de entrar no carro para a viagem. Eu já tinha cortado todos os laços com ele. Eu estava indo embora... mas ele não fazia ideia.

Depois de me declarar cento e uma vezes para o meu amigo de infância, João Machado, ele se casou com seu primeiro amor, Jessica Andrade. Desiludida e com o coração partido, eu, Adriana Borges, acabei me casando com o irmão dele, Fidel Machado, que sempre me cortejou. Após o casamento, Fidel me mimava incondicionalmente. Ele me amava de forma intensa e apaixonada, e todos ao meu redor acreditavam que eu tinha uma sorte imensa por me casar com um homem tão bom e dedicado. Mas, quando Jessica e eu caímos na água ao mesmo tempo, vi com meus próprios olhos quando ele, que não sabia nadar, mergulhou sem hesitar. Ele lutou contra a correnteza apenas para alcançá-la, chegando a transferir o próprio ar para ela debaixo d'água. Eu me debatia, em pânico, esperando que ele ao menos olhasse pra mim... e ele só tinha olhos pra Jessica, me deixando afundar sozinha. Enquanto estava inconsciente, ouvi do meu leito no hospital quando ele e João trocaram socos para decidir quem ficaria cuidando de Jessica. Ele rugiu, tomado pela dor: — Eu sacrifiquei a mim mesmo me casando com a Adriana apenas para garantir que ela não fosse um obstáculo para a felicidade de vocês dois. Me deixa ao menos ir dar uma olhada na Jessica, por favor? No fim das contas, ninguém jamais me amou de verdade. Sem hesitar, agendei um serviço de forja de óbito, preparando a minha própria morte falsa para escapar de tudo isso. No entanto, ao receber a notícia da minha "morte", ele, que sempre fora tão inabalável, empurrou Jessica que tentava consolá-lo, curvou-se cuspindo sangue e teve seus cabelos esbranquiçados em uma única noite.

Três dias antes do meu casamento, descobri que Shane Dawson havia mudado o local da cerimônia da casa da vovó Mae, no Sul, para o Castillo de Sol, o castelo espanhol que Tania Collins — sua antiga paixão de infância — adorava. Eu o confrontei, mas acabei ouvindo ele reclamar ao amigo: — Graças a Deus a Tania tem bom gosto. Caso contrário, eu seria motivo de piada pelo resto da vida. O amigo retrucou: — Você não prometeu que faria a cerimônia na casa da avó dela? Não tem medo que ela fique brava e se recuse a se casar? Shane apenas riu, com frieza e deboche. — Os Quinn estão à beira da falência. Casar comigo é a única saída dela. Ela não pode arriscar. Já pedi ao cerimonialista para ligar para ela. Aposto que agora ela está correndo pra trocar o vôo. A vergonha e a raiva queimaram no meu peito. Mordi o lábio, e no fim, fui embora. Três dias depois, o casamento no castelo aconteceu como planejado, só que eu não mudei o vôo. Eu não apareci. Em vez disso, estava no velho pátio da vovó Mae, me casando com outro homem. Até hoje, o Shane não entende. Eu nunca quis me casar com ele em busca de alguma "rota de fuga". Eu quis me casar por um amor que durou dez anos. Mas quando o sonho acaba, é preciso coragem para escolher outro caminho.

Cada vez que meu marido traía, ele me dava uma pulseira. Em quatro anos de casamento, juntei noventa e nove pulseiras, perdoando-o noventa e nove vezes. Desta vez, ele viajou a trabalho por três dias e, ao voltar, trouxe uma Pulseira de Jade Imperial avaliada em dezenas de milhões. Eu sabia que estava na hora de pedir o divórcio.

Everyone who lives will die, and nothing they do can stop it. That's the way things are. The circle of life. And a single undeniable truth. The minute we are born we start our journey of that cycle and we will continue down that path until we take our very last breath. However, not all life spans are the same. Some people live to an old age. Others die young. Some die of natural causes, and others die of accidents, murder, or disease. It's the sad truth of being human and death doesn’t discriminate. But what if someone could see their death coming? Would they do everything in their power to stop it from happening, or would they live their lives to the fullest since they knew it was coming to an end? Would they fight tooth and nail to be able to stay earthside for even a minute longer or would they succumb to the inevitable? This is the universal question and the only ones who can answer it are the people who saw their deaths, people like me. My name is Remi Woods. I'm eighteen years old, and for as long as I can remember, I've been able to see how a person will die with a single touch. At first, I wasn't quite sure what was happening and I was terrified that maybe I was going crazy, but after my visions kept coming to fruition no matter what I did, I knew I was different, and not in a good way.

And every misunderstanding pushes them deeper into a cycle of passion and hate they can’t escape. They say love conquers all… but what if love is the very reason they destroy each other? ★Sequel to Till Worlds Do Us Part

RACHEL:I was supposed to be a bride. Instead, I became a tragedy in a white dress. When your mother dies the same night your groom disappears, you stop believing in happy endings. Then came him. A man with no warmth, no promises and eyes that watched me like I was a puzzle he didn’t want to solve. He saved me once. Now I live under his roof, cooking meals for a stranger whose silence speaks louder than comfort. Then there is Chris, the charming CEO who drowns me in the kind of affection I always dreamt of. And there is Liam, my ex fiance who came crawling back, begging for another chance. But the heart is a stupid thing. Even when it’s broken, it still learns to give second chances. Even for the wrong man. DAMIAN: She was a disaster I didn’t ask for. One I couldn’t ignore. I don’t do emotions, and I sure as hell don’t do strays. But I let her in, just for a while. Rachel Hart is not my responsibility. But she keeps showing up in places I can’t ignore, my company, my home, my thoughts. Now her presence lingers. Her scent. Her voice. Her past. She doesn’t belong in my world. But I find myself rearranging it anyway. And when someone else tries to claim her, They’ll learn the hard way I don’t let go of what’s mine.

My billionaire dad chooses a husband for me. People claim that Sebastian Lambert is a fine gentleman who's absolutely in awe of me. He seems easy enough to deal with, so I agree to the marriage. The wedding is held at the biggest hotel my family owns. On the big day, as I push open the doors in my wedding dress, a bucket of foul-smelling blood comes crashing down on me. The scene inside is even more horrifying. What was supposed to be a pure and romantic ceremony is now decorated with giant spiders and cockroaches. Grotesque clown faces grin at me from the walls. At the altar, there's a black coffin. Sebastian's adoptive sister, Ruth Lambert, strolls over with a group of people. She covers her mouth in fake surprise as she remarks, "Oh my, Claudia, you look like a pathetic mutt right now!" Laughter erupts around me. Holding my anger back, I coldly reply, "All of you, get out." She crosses her arms, arrogantly looking down at me as if she's on some pedestal. "Come on, Claudia. Seb personally asked me to surprise you. I put in a lot of effort to decorate your little wedding. You're telling me to get out? I don't even get a 'thank you'? Do you need me to teach you some manners?" She signals to the people next to her, and two of them step forward, trying to force me to my knees. Stunned for a few seconds, I pull out my phone and call Sebastian. "Is this the so-called surprise you had your sister prepare for me? Forcing me to kneel before her?"
