Amor Amargo

Cuando fui al hospital para verificar si el cuarto intento de fertilización in vitro había sido exitoso, vi a Francisco Gutiérrez —quien supuestamente estaba de viaje de negocios— ayudando cuidadosamente a una joven y hermosa chica a salir del sección de ginecología y obstetricia. La chica tenía el vientre tan abultado que parecía estar a punto de dar a luz. Francisco solo se desconcertó por un instante, antes de proteger a la chica detrás de él. —Laura, nuestra familia necesita un hijo para continuar el linaje. Cuando nazca el bebé, volveremos a ser como antes. Escuché claramente la determinación en su voz, y le sonreí diciendo que estaba bien. Ante su mirada sorprendida, guardé silenciosamente mis resultados médicos. El día que la chica dio a luz, dejé un acuerdo de divorcio y me alejé de él para siempre.

El día que se cumplían tres años del matrimonio de Camila y Lucas, él invitó a todos sus amigos para celebrarlo. Pero, cuando ella llegó al lugar, lo vio de rodillas, proponiéndole matrimonio a Renata, su amiga de la infancia. Camila lo confrontó con la voz contenida, pero él, con fastidio, simplemente dijo que era parte de un juego de «verdad o reto». No fue sino hasta que, por proteger a Renata, Lucas empujó a Camila por las escaleras, provocándole un aborto, que ella finalmente despertó del engaño. Ella le había dicho que le daría cinco oportunidades. Y ahora… las cinco se habían acabado. —Lucas, quiero el divorcio.

Le di tres años de mi vida, solo para que me trataran como a una simple sustituta… peor que a un perro. Cuando su llamada “luz blanca de luna” regresó, me apartó sin dudarlo. Está bien. Acepté la alianza familiar y me casé con el Alfa más poderoso del Norte. ¿Ahora se arrepiente y me ruega que vuelva? Demasiado tarde. Confabularon contra mí con aconita, queriendo que muriera en un sucio sótano. Pero mi compañero —el verdadero Rey del Norte— arrasó con toda la hacienda solo para salvarme. Intentaron robar mi linaje alfa con magia oscura. Los hice saborear el exilio, convertidos en renegados, despreciados por todos. ¿Y él? Se arrodilló ante mí, suplicando por perdón. Yo me refugié en los brazos de mi compañero y lo vi ser desterrado para siempre. —Ángel —le dije con frialdad—. —Abre los ojos. Yo soy la única Luna del Norte.

Con tal de salir con su asistente en Navidad, mi esposo puso somníferos en la leche en polvo de nuestra hija. Cuando, angustiada, llevé como pude al hospital con fiebre alta, me sorprendió ver cómo mi esposo subía las escaleras con su asistente en brazos. —¡Yolanda se torció el pie, la estoy acompañando a que la revisen! Mientras nuestra hija era atendida en el quirófano, él no mostró el más mínimo interés. Yo apretaba con fuerza el billete de lotería de un millón de dólares en el bolsillo. Era hora de abandonar ese matrimonio de siete años.

Betrayal could either make someone vulnerable or impenetrable. When a billionaire businessman met an impenetrable, young, fierce and pretty lawyer; he sworn he will never back down until that time that he will find her unguarded. He will do everything until she would finally open up her heart for him. Would he finally succeed and would there be a happy ending between them? Would tragedy and mystery make them closer or would totally break them apart?

Desde pequeños, Gabriel Fuentes y Julieta Ramírez nunca se habían llevado bien. Sin embargo, el destino tenía otros planes: en su círculo social, ya solo quedaban ellos dos como candidatos «adecuados» para un matrimonio por conveniencia. Gabriel juró que preferiría morirse antes que casarse con Julieta, mientras que ella, con una sonrisa irónica, respondía: —Entonces ya está decidido. Me casaré contigo. Apúrate y muérete. El día de la boda, Gabriel soltó decenas de gallinas en plena ceremonia para humillarla. Julieta, impasible, alzó una y dijo en voz alta: —Saluda, esposo mío. Y fue en ese momento que a Gabriel se le acabaron las ganas de burlarse. La mujer que él menos quería, era justo la que más empeño tenía en casarse con él. —Te vas a arrepentir —le dijo con desprecio. Tres años después, Julieta vio a Gabriel siéndole infiel por novena vez. Y recién entonces entendió... A qué se refería él con la frase «te vas a arrepentir».

Her Alpha Father forced her to marry the most known powerful, tyrant, ruthless, and cold-hearted Alpha in the werewolf realm, who happened to be his fated mate too. However, he rejected her outright. She tried every possible means to make him accept her but she failed. He treated her like a worthless whore. When she ran away and gave up any hope that her mate would accept her, she met someone who treated her like a princess. She was already contemplating accepting this new lover when her mate who rejected her chased her and tried everything to win her back. Would she give her mate another chance or accept this new lover? Whatever her decision, could she find her real strength and value in the end?

“You will start your duties as the chosen Alpha's Breeder, whether you like it or not,” he hisses at her as his anger rise even more. She braces herself and looks at him with her eyes dancing with mockery, “Let it be then, Alpha King Dantes. Bring me to the lair of any mateless Alpha and watch as he rips me off, listen as we moan, and never close your eyes as he thrusts into me so deep, fast, and repeatedly until we both gasp for air and shudder in ecstasy.” With his face burning with anger, the King of all Alphas snatches her waist and plunges her onto his right shoulder like a caveman. “You pissed me off completely, Zeta! Wait for a moment and you will find yourself being ripped off, gasping for breath thereafter, and writhing in ecstasy as you reach your goddam peak!”

He was a Kung Fu head trainer, who was framed by his two trainees in a rape and murder case of Clushia, a female trainee, who was obsessed with him. He was convicted and brought to the maximum penal institution called the 'Hellhole', for no prisoner got out of it alive. In one of the prisoners’ riots, he was forced to fight to defend himself but ended up killing another prisoner. He was put to an oubliette. Unknown to him, that oubliette is the door to an underground city, with an arena for the so-called “Game of Fangs and Death” by the Alpha Pharoah. The game is for five nights. If he wins, he will be given a free pass leading to a secret passage, away from the 'Hellhole'. Could there be an escape for him from the 'Hellhole'? Could his heart find an escape from the Alpha Pharoah's daughter, who has a lot of similarities to Clushia? It was like, Clushia had been born again through her. Would suddenly his never known powerful blood and lineage eventually help him escape from his death?

“Afraid now, hmmm?” he asked with a lifted eyebrow. There was a mockery on his, oh so manly and deliciously curved red lips. “No, don't touch me! Remove your filthy hands from me or I will sue you!” she said frantically but all she received as a reply was his laughter. “What kind of crime am I committing now, my pretty soon-to-be stepmom? Tell me.” His voice was as sexy as hell and his lips were just an inch away from her lips. “Err, harassment,” she almost choke with her own saliva as she said so. Her mind was starting to deprive her of good reasons. “Harassment? Haha. No, my dear. There is no harassment for two consenting adults enjoying each other's arms and…” he did not finish his statement as his lips already claimed her lips which were open at the moment, in an attempt to retort to him. Dianthe was shocked to feel his lips graze hers and his tongue inside her mouth exploring therein taking all her sweetness. Just like before, her heart tumbled and her knees weakened, and automatically her arms encircled his neck as support. When his kiss deepened and became more aggressive, Dianthe could not deny anymore that his charm once more captured her innocent heart and her body could not deny the same.
