Alter Ego Artinya

Kamara Hermes desired a life of stardom. A place in the fashion world that would resonate her name. However, her dreams seemed to have come to an abrupt halt when her father fell into debt owing Diego Sanchez, Atlanta's renowned Mafia who would terminate anyone who was stupid enough to cross his way. She would do anything to protect her family from becoming homeless as the ruthless Mafia insists on taking their only home away. When there appears to be no way out. Diego decided to offer her a deal, only if she takes it would he let go of the debt and her family home. He wants her to become his surrogate. Something Kamara considers outrageous. However, she has to choose between birthing a child for the Mafia or having her family live on the streets of Atlanta. One had to be a better option.

On the first day I reunite with the wealthy Holloways, as soon as I step into the villa, I'm instantly whisked into a car with tinted windows. The fake heiress, Kate Holloway, cuts my ID and bank card with a pair of scissors right in front of my biological parents. She grins smugly at me the whole time. "You see, Rosalie, I've offended that one person who must not be offended at all costs in Ravenfield. You should go kneel in his estate for a few days. Think of this as your way to repay the Hollways for giving birth to you in this world." My heartless parents even tell the driver, "Make sure that she doesn't escape. It all depends on her whether or not our family will be able to survive this crisis." The journey to the mysterious man's estate is bumpy. But the scenery outside the window becomes more familiar as time passes. Finally, the driver stops right outside a well-guarded estate. He reports in a frightened tone, "W-We are here to deliver the girl to Mr. Whitethorn." Mr. Whitethorn? As in the powerful man who is prone to mood swings and can easily make families such as the Holloways go into bankruptcy with just a twitch of his finger? Wait, isn't that Dominic Whitethorn, my adoptive father who has doted on me since I was a little girl? The Holloways have chosen to make me the scapegoat in order to protect Kate. They probably never would've thought that the fearsome Mr. Whitethorn, who's capable of determining their survival, has scoured the entire city for me because I didn't come home last night.

She is in Law school. He breaks the Law every day. Her father calls her sunshine. He is called the Overlord of the Bravta. She is pure. He is tainted. They are a match made in hell. *** “There is no going back after you sign this contract,” he tilted my head so I met his sinful smirk and distracting eyes. “After this, you are mine, Sweet little thing. You’ll not be able to run or escape me. Because no matter where you run to, even though I have to turn this world upside down, I will find you and bring you right back to my side because you are bound to me.” I laughed. “Trying to scare me?” I took the pen from him and signed a contract with the Devil. ***** When Julia found out she was dying soon, she decided to do the one thing she had been scared to do all her life before she died. Fall in love. She had her bucket list planned out and all she needed was a heartless man who wouldn’t lose his heart to her in the 6 months she had to live. And Valentino Damon was the right man for the job since she was more than convinced he didn’t own a heart. He was the devil and he might be the most significant risk she might ever take but what does one have to lose if they were going to die soon anyway?

Lo primero que hice al regresar a la gala para elegir esposa fue intercambiar en secreto mi tarjeta numerada de candidata por la de mi hermana adoptiva. Cuando Fernando Romero tomó el ramo con el número de Lucía Benítez, se le desbordó la alegría en los ojos. Le sostuvo la mano y, solemne, le juró una vida entera. —Lucía, serás la única mujer de mi vida. Luego se volvió hacia mí y, de golpe, se le heló la mirada. —Siempre te vi como a una hermana. No intentes ocupar el lugar de Lucía. Aquel aviso frío me atravesó el pecho. Las habladurías me devoraron otra vez, igual que en mi vida pasada. Todos se burlaban de mí, la “arrastrada” de Fernando. Diez años detrás de él con el corazón en la mano… y el hombre terminó enamorado de la supuesta heredera, mi hermana adoptiva.

Soy la protagonista de una historia erótica. ¿Mi especialidad? Convertir lo que está frío o tibio en algo que siempre arde... y moja a mares. El primer día que llegué a un juego de terror, el BOSS les dijo a todos que eligieran cómo querían morir. Sonreí y, sin dudarlo ni un segundo, respondí: —Yo elijo por falta de aire, con las piernas temblando, los ojos brillando... y un placer tan intenso que me mate de puro gusto. BOSS: ¿Qué diablos...?

Yo era su única debilidad. Don Alex, el rey de Nueva York. Y yo era su reina. Pero días antes de la fecha de nacimiento de nuestro hijo, me arrojaron a participar en el Duelo a Muerte en los Muelles, un juego cruel transmitido para el entretenimiento del mundo clandestino. Las balas volaban, trampas ocultas acechaban y cada uno de mis intentos aterrorizados y patéticos por sobrevivir se transmitía en vivo en pantallas gigantes. Entonces, escuché a su segundo al mando por los altavoces. —Jefe, su esposa está a punto de dar a luz. ¿Seguro que quiere estar aquí? Me congelé. ¿Alex estaba aquí? Un momento después, una voz de mujer, empalagosa, goteó a través de los altavoces. —Olvida a esa perra. Alex me dijo que lo único que importaba hoy era estar aquí conmigo. ¿Cierto, cariño? Era Scarlett. La princesa de la mafia de Chicago. El amor de la infancia de Alex, una mujer a la que él siempre había consentido y hacia la que mostraba un claro favoritismo. Durante años, él había rechazado sus insinuaciones, pero nunca se negaba a sus caprichos. Hoy, ella estaba de mal humor e insistió en ver el Duelo a Muerte en los Muelles, así que él estaba allí para hacerle compañía. Grité llamando a Alex, le supliqué ayuda, pero él estaba convencido de que yo era una asesina disfrazada. Scarlett se rió y dijo que el juego debía ser más emocionante. Así que él presionó el botón. Perros de patrulla crueles me cazaron. Se me rompió la fuente, mezclándose con la sangre en el suelo. Estaba en agonía. El juego llegó a su clímax mientras más perros y hombres armados me cercaban por todos lados. Todos apostaban sobre quién sería el siguiente en morir. Alex sonrió, con su voz en un tono bajo y despreocupado. —Apuesto a que esa asquerosa mujer embarazada morirá. No supo la verdad hasta que me desangré en una mesa de operaciones, con nuestro hijo muerto junto a mí. Dicen que el despiadado Padrino se hizo pedazos. Se rompió por completo.
