A Proposta Do Meu Chefe Arrogante

— Abre um pouco mais, Eva, Eva... Isso... assim mesmo. Meu corpo inteiro parecia derreter sobre a maca de exames. Meus dedos agarravam os lençóis com uma força involuntária. A voz atrás de mim era grave e contida... Cada palavra dele fazia meu corpo vibrar e minhas orelhas arderem. A posição do exame era vergonhosa demais. Meus quadris eram obrigados a se erguerem, altos demais, numa postura que parecia pura rendição. — Doutor... eu... ah... não consigo abrir mais... — Murmurei, mordendo o lábio inferior, a voz tremendo de propósito. Através da barra metálica da maca, vi meu reflexo: cabelos bagunçados colados à face corada, os olhos úmidos, turvos, brilhando com um desejo confuso.

Lucy's love for Logan was without question. She had built her life around him. But her heart is broken into a thousand pieces after she found out about his affair with her secretary and their plot to take everything she has from her. As Lucy’s perfect marriage and life shatter, she swears to have her revenge. But everything takes a weird turn when a mysterious ally appears and offers to help, and his price was just one date.

The life trial system "If You Think You Can Do Better, Prove It" burst onto the scene like a traveling circus promising wonders. The idea was plain enough: "If you reckon someone's life is a mess, and you think you can do better, go ahead and prove it. There's a reward waiting if you do." Before I knew it, my whole family had me pegged for the fool in the middle of the show. There was my mother, dreaming of turning me into some grand goose; my husband, who'd spent years dodging his rightful share of the family load; and my son, mortified by the very sight of me. They shoved me onto the "judgment seat" like I was the villain of the tale. Every last one of them swore up and down that, given my place, they'd manage my life better than I ever could. The stakes? Well, if they pulled it off, my consciousness would be erased—gone, wiped out like a mistake on a chalkboard—and turned into their personal servant. On top of that, they'd waltz off with a cool million dollars. But if they couldn't? Then I'd be the one raking in three million dollars. Now that's a gamble for the ages, isn't it?

"Why were you flirting with another man?" Christian’s voice thundered through the room. "Maybe you shouldn’t have flirted with another woman," Jane shot back, her voice cold but trembling with suppressed hurt. For five long years, Jane and Christian endured a loveless marriage — one built on duty rather than affection. Everything changed when Amanda, Christian’s first love, returned to town. Her arrival coincided with Jane’s tragic miscarriage, tearing Christian between the desires of his body and the quiet pull of his heart. Now, Jane has walked away… and it’s killing him. Especially when he sees her with another man — Jared. But Jared has secrets, dark ones, and Jane is about to uncover the truth behind his intentions. Just when she thinks she’s reclaiming her life, a shocking revelation threatens to change everything: Jane is pregnant again — and the child is Christian’s. Will she keep the baby? Can she trust Jared after learning the truth? Or will she return to Christian — the man now on his knees, begging for forgiveness and a second chance? Jane must choose between the man who broke her… and the one who might do it again.

— Você tem certeza de que quer isso? — A bruxa deslizou o frasco pela mesa. — Assim que eu conjurar o feitiço de desvinculação, sua conexão de Companheiro Predestinado irá se dissolver ao longo de dez dias. No décimo dia, torna-se permanente. Sem reversão. Eu não hesitei. — Seu nome? — Ela pegou a caneta. — Mara Voss. A mão dela congelou. Todos na comunidade de vampiros de Nova York conheciam esse nome. Conrad Levin, o Príncipe do Domínio de Nova York, um monstro de oitocentos anos que nunca demonstrara um pingo de apego a nada, anunciara há três anos a todo o mundo sobrenatural que havia encontrado sua Companheira Predestinada. Uma garota humana que carregava o tipo sanguíneo mais raro existente. Sangue dourado. O nome dela era Mara Voss. Estendi meu pulso. A bruxa começou o trabalho. Abri meu celular e reservei uma passagem só de ida para Praga. Partida em exatamente dez dias. Desta vez, Conrad nunca me encontraria.

No meu quinto ano de casamento com o Don de uma poderosa família da máfia, descobri que o amuleto de proteção que ele me deu me causava dores de cabeça sempre que o carrego comigo. Como cirurgiã, isso acendeu um sinal de alerta em mim. Retirei os pequenos sachês que encontrei dentro do amuleto e os levei ao laboratório de toxicologia do Hospital Cursley. O médico examinou o sachê e me disse que ele continha um tipo de veneno de ação lenta que não apenas causava danos ao organismo da vítima, mas também a tornava infértil com o tempo. Chorei e exclamei: — Mas isso é impossível! Foi meu marido quem me deu isso! O nome dele é Vincenzo Cursley. E ele também é o dono deste hospital! O médico me olhou confuso. — Moça, por favor, pare com esse absurdo. Eu conheço o Sr. Cursley e a esposa dele. Eles são muito próximos e unidos. Aliás, a Sra. Cursley deu à luz um menino há pouco tempo. Os dois estão agora na ala VIP, admirando o bebê. Em seguida, o médico me mostrou uma foto no celular. Vincenzo estava usando seu habitual terno preto com o brasão da família Cursley bordado nele. Ele segurava um bebê nos braços, e a mulher ao lado dele... Eu a conhecia. Seu nome era Claudia Henderson. E Vincenzo sempre a chamou de irmã adotiva.
