A Receita Do Amor

En el hospital se armó un escándalo. Un familiar de un paciente agitaba un cuchillo como un loco y, por instinto, empujé a Bruno para apartarlo. Pero él, de un tirón, me agarró la mano y me puso enfrente... para proteger a su querida Celia. Así, la cuchillada fue directo a mi vientre. Y con eso, me arrancó a mi bebé, que apenas empezaba a vivir. Mis compañeros del hospital, con lágrimas en los ojos, intentaban llevarme de urgencia a la UCI, pero Bruno me jaló de la camilla con brusquedad. Con la voz dura y cortante, soltó: —¡Primero salven a Celia! Si a ella le pasa algo, los echo a todos. Los médicos se quedaron helados, llenos de indignación. —¡Estás loco, Bruno! —le gritó uno—. Celia solo tiene un rasguño, ¡tu esposa está mucho peor! Yo, con las manos apretando mi abdomen empapado en sangre, asentí lentamente. —Déjenlo así... Bruno... con esto que te devuelvo hoy, ya no te debo nada.

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.

Eu amei Lucian por anos e dei tudo de mim para salvar a vida dele, mas tudo o que eu recebi em troca foi seu olhar de desprezo. Em minha vida passada, eu fui forçada a me tornar sua companheira, mas, no fim, morri sob as garras dos lobos ferozes que ele enviou atrás de mim, e ele ainda quebrou o pescoço do meu irmão Marcus com os próprios dentes. Na noite em que renasci, eu fiz uma escolha diferente. Eu deixei Ayara, minha rival, ter tudo o que queria. Casei-me no lugar dela com Draven, o príncipe brutal que os boatos diziam que "matava suas noivas", e ela pôde fugir com Lucian. Mas, quando a porta da limusine abriu, a pessoa que saiu foi um garoto gentil que eu havia conhecido quando tinha cinco anos. — Olhe bem, querida. Eu sou mesmo tão assustador quando os rumores dizem? — seus olhos âmbar estavam cheios de calor e carinho. Descobri, então, que ele havia encenado doze casamentos falsos, apenas esperando eu crescer. Quando Lucian se ajoelhou e implorou para que eu voltasse, já era tarde demais; eu já era a Luna do Draven.

No dia do meu casamento, meu noivo e minha irmã, Celeste Paiva, foram flagrados juntos na sala de descanso, em um momento íntimo. Eu me tornei motivo de chacota para todos. Foi então que meu amigo de infância, Ivan Siqueira, ajoelhou-se diante de todos e me pediu em casamento, protegendo-me de maneira grandiosa. Após o casamento, ele foi totalmente atencioso comigo. Infelizmente, ele não conseguia corresponder às expectativas na intimidade. Nossa vida sexual nunca foi harmoniosa. Somente neste ano, depois de recorrer à fertilização in vitro, consegui finalmente engravidar. Depois disso, Ivan tornou-se ainda mais cuidadoso comigo. Eu acreditava que ele era, enfim, o meu destino. Até o dia em que escutei sua conversa com um amigo. — Ivan, você foi cruel demais. Bárbara faz tudo por você, como consegue trocar os óvulos dela para que Bárbara seja barriga de aluguel só porque Celeste tem medo da dor do parto? — Além disso, faltam apenas dois meses para o nascimento do bebê. O que você pretende fazer depois? Ivan ficou em silêncio por um instante e suspirou. — Depois que o bebê nascer, vou entregá-lo para Celeste, realizando o maior desejo dela. — Quanto à Bárbara, direi que perdemos a criança. — E então, vou passar o resto da vida ao lado dela. "Era isso, então." "Todo o cuidado e carinho que recebi, tinham um único propósito: ela." Dei meia-volta e marquei uma cirurgia. Esta criança manchada, eu, Bárbara Paiva, não a queria mais. E essa falsa união, menos ainda.

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?"

Agatha Diniz era apenas uma bolsista pobre, apadrinhada por Manfredo Borges. Mas ela buscava mais do que caridade — ela queria adrenalina. Mergulhou com um grupo de homens no mar e, entre beijos e toques, começou a sangrar. A corrente arrastou o sangue e um tubarão apareceu. Fui eu quem a salvei, arriscando a vida para tirá-la da água. Disse apenas que ela devia procurar um médico. Ela sorriu, concordou, e, no minuto seguinte, correu até Manfredo, chorando, dizendo que eu havia manchado sua honra. Na fúria, ele me jogou viva dentro de um tubarão gigante ainda consciente. Enquanto eu gritava e socava o ventre da criatura, pescadores horrorizados imploravam: — Senhor, por favor! A sua esposa vai morrer! Ele apenas riu, abraçado à garota: — Dizem que dá pra viver um mês dentro de um peixe. Ela não ama tanto os tubarões? Que vire parte da pesquisa. Na escuridão, com o corpo preso e a alma dilacerada, acariciei minha barriga. Sussurrei ao meu bebê: — Filho, a mamãe não vai conseguir te proteger. Um mês depois, Manfredo voltou. Mas encontrou, na areia… apenas um esqueleto, embranquecido pelo sal e pelo tempo.

Para masalba ang kompanya ng kanyang ama, napilitan si Bianca na pakasalan si Lucien Hoffman—isang ruthless at disabled na lalaki. Ngunit sa mismong araw ng kanilang kasal, nagulat ang lahat nang makita nilang nakakalakad ito nang maayos. At hindi lang iyon, napakaguwapo pa ni Lucien! Nang magtagpo ang kanilang landas, malamig na sinabi ni Lucien kay Bianca, "I will never love you or sleep with you. To me, you're nothing but a contracted wife." Ngunit dumating ang araw na hindi na niya magawang sundin ang nakasaad sa kontrata. Malumanay niyang sinabi, "I don't know, but I lose my mind when you're not here with me. Now, I’ll treat you as my wife. I will love you and… make love to you.” Umiling si Bianca. “It's a breach of contract! Do you know you'll have to pay for it?” Ngumiti si Lucien. “I can pay for that breach of contract even multiple times, as long as you'll be mine." Ngunit paano kung ang kontratang nagbuklod sa kanila ay siya ring maging dahilan para magkalayo sila?
