Amor Doloroso

— Preciso da sua ajuda para forjar a queda de um jato particular — eu disse calmamente. — É a única maneira de eu conseguir deixar Luca Moretti. As pessoas diziam que ele havia renunciado ao trono da Máfia por minha causa. Chamavam ele do homem que trocou o poder pelo amor, o herdeiro que abandonou sangue e ouro apenas para se casar com uma garçonete das favelas. Durante anos, ele fez o mundo acreditar em nós. Ele construiu impérios sob o meu nome. Ele me enviava rosas toda segunda-feira. Ele dizia à imprensa que eu era a sua salvação. Mas amor nem sempre significa lealdade. Enquanto eu estava ocupada acreditando no para sempre, ele estava construindo um segundo lar pelas minhas costas. Um lar cheio de risadas, brinquedos, e filhos gêmeos que tinham os seus olhos. Na noite em que desapareci, o império dele queimou. Ele devastou cidades, subornou governos, e enterrou homens vivos apenas para me encontrar. Mas, quando ele fez isso eu já tinha partido. E a mulher por quem ele um dia morreria não o amava mais o suficiente para permanecer viva.

Gustavo e Anabela viviam em constante conflito desde a infância, transformando qualquer encontro em motivo de briga. Naquele ano, entre todas as famílias tradicionais do círculo social, apenas eles dois restavam como candidatos adequados para um casamento arranjado. Gustavo jurou que jamais se casaria com Anabela, nem que a morte o levasse antes. Despertando súbito interesse pela provocação, Anabela sorriu e declarou: — Então o casamento está decidido. Agora só você precisa morrer logo. No dia da cerimônia, Gustavo espalhou dezenas de galinhas pelo local, determinado a humilhá-la perante todos os convidados. Ela manteve a expressão impassível, pegou uma das aves e começou a chamá-la de marido. A vontade de Gustavo de continuar provocando-a desapareceu por completo. Observando Anabela, que insistia em se casar com ele apesar de tudo, Gustavo sussurrou com desprezo: — Você vai se arrepender. Três anos depois, Anabela flagrou Gustavo traindo pela nonagésima nona vez. Só então ela compreendeu o verdadeiro significado das palavras dele sobre arrependimento.

Quando meu pai me pediu para escolher um dos irmãos da Família Martins, amigos de longa data da nossa família, para casar, eu escolhi Renan Martins. Apenas porque ele era o homem por quem eu fui apaixonada em segredo por treze anos. Mas, no dia do nosso casamento, sua meia-irmã se jogou do terraço do hotel. Ela deixou uma carta escrita com sangue, desejando a mim e a Renan um casamento feliz e que envelhecêssemos juntos. Só então eu soube que os dois haviam tido um amor secreto por muitos anos. Na cerimônia, Renan perdeu a compostura e anunciou que renunciaria à vida secular, me deixando sozinha e desamparada no altar. Desde então, ele passou a vida rezando por sua meia-irmã. Eu o odiei por ter me enganado, me apeguei àquele casamento e nos torturamos mutuamente. Até que fomos sequestrados e, para me salvar, ele se matou junto com os sequestradores. Antes de morrer, ele olhou para mim e disse: — Pérola, a culpa foi minha por ter escondido isso de você. — Mas a minha vida e a da minha irmã já são suficientes para quitar essa dívida, não são? — Na próxima vida, lembre-se de não me escolher. Quando abri os olhos novamente, eu havia voltado ao dia em que meu pai me pediu para escolher um noivo. Desta vez, eu, Pérola Lima, escolheria firmemente seu irmão mais velho, Davi Martins.

“Uhumm, can I remove my arms around you now?” suddenly the man who prevented her from falling stated in a mocking tone. Atty. Ninia Salamera’s face grew red with embarrassment. “Oh my, of course, thank you, Sir.” She immediately made herself stand firmly. “Be careful next time; do not use your phone while walking.” He then turned his back and walked in the direction of the CEO’s office. Atty. Ninia was not able to say a word. His face is familiar. “Oh my God!” the woman covers her mouth with her left hand, she knows the man; he was the one who beat her in the recent bar exam. He topped the bar and she only placed second! “What are you doing here Atty. Wilgreg Monaro”, she whispered.

“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.

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.

Asalea's eyes narrowed. She can guess that the event is a wedding ceremony. So, she will be attending a wedding occasion? "Whose wedding is this?” she asked the man who fetched her. “Yours, Madam.”He said and then got something inside his paper bag. “Please wear this,” the man said handing her a black veil with a tiara in it, beautifully adorned with black diamonds. “What did you say?!” Asalea gasped in surprise. “This is your wedding Madam.” The young man repeated his statement. “Who shall I be marrying?” with narrowed eyes, Asalea asked again. “You will know later on. Please be ready Madam. The wedding march will start.” Then the man step aside and motioned her to walk forward when the wedding march song started to fill the whole astrodome. Asalea does not know if she will follow or will make herself invisible and run. She chose the first. She knows that she will be dead if she will run. At least they will not kill her. Looking at her elegant black gown, her veil with tiara, and the venue of the wedding; she knows she will be marrying someone of a high profile from the Glodeous Kingdom. She can still start her life here and then plan for her revenge later on against the Ecleteon werewolves. With chin held up, Asalea made her graceful walk going to the altar. Getting nearer the altar, she saw the back of a man standing in front. Asalea surmises that he might be her groom. “Hmm, not bad,” she murmured. Slowly the man turned his back and faced her when she was already walking almost beside him. Asalea's eyes grew big when she recognized the man. “Hello, my pretty vampy.” He whispered, intensely looking at her with his ocean-like deep blue eyes.
