Amor Platônico Realizado

I caught my fiancé, Nico Falcone, in bed with my own cousin, Bianca Rossi. Right before our wedding. When I confronted him, he just called the whole thing off and ran me out of New York. I didn’t see him again for five years. Then came the charity gala for the New York Families. There he was. Nico. He pulled me aside, saying he felt bad for the state I was in. He offered to make me his mistress. I told him to go to hell. He got ugly. The whole room was laughing. Whispering how an outcast like me had no business showing my face in New York. I clenched my fists, the sound of their mockery ringing in my ears. Just then, the entire ballroom went dead silent. Every head bowed in respect. Don Lucas, the most feared man in New York, was walking slowly toward us. He stopped right in front of me. With the whole room watching, he dropped to one knee. He took my hand—the one Nico had squeezed red—and kissed it. His voice was dangerously low. “Who hurt my future wife?”

In a world where power is currency and women are pawns, Ava Campelli has just been sold to the highest bidder through a wedding veil. Born into a legacy of blood and quiet obedience, Ava knew her fate was sealed long before she could dream of escape. When she’s forced to marry Nico Moretti, the cold, ruthless heir to a criminal empire, her life becomes a performance of silence and survival. From the outside, she’s a vision in white. On the inside, she’s breaking. Nico is everything she feared: calculated, controlling, and obsessed with ownership. What begins with a diamond ring and a kiss in front of hundreds quickly descends into possession, manipulation, and brutal expectations behind closed doors. His touch is demanding, his love conditional, and Ava is expected to be the perfect wife—seen, not heard. But behind the carefully painted smile and submissive posture, something dangerous is beginning to stir in Ava. Each cruel word, every forced touch, is a spark. And one day soon, she may burn the whole kingdom down. A story of power, pain, and the quiet beginnings of rebellion—Bound By Blood and Vows is a haunting tale of a girl who learns that surviving is only the beginning and if she can't win his heart, then she will steal it when she leaves.

Cumplía años y mi esposo, Don Damián, me regaló el collar de perlas de su difunta esposa. Me lo puse para la cena. Mi hijastro, León, enfurecido, me arrojó vino tinto encima. Fui el hazmerreír de toda la fiesta. —¡Maldita! —me dijo entre dientes—. ¿Acaso crees que por ponerte las joyas de mi mamá vas a poder reemplazarla? Me clavó una mirada gélida. Y luego gritó: —¡Lárgate de mi casa! Pero su madre murió cuando él era un bebé. Fui yo quien lo crio. Alguien le metió cizaña. Le dijeron que yo había matado a su madre. Ahora cree que soy una víbora que engatusó a su padre. ¿Y su padre? ¿Mi esposo? Él nunca me vio realmente. Solo veía el fantasma de Cristal. No se me rompió el corazón… ¡se hizo añicos! No me amaron. Ni siquiera me tomaron en cuenta. Así que me fui. Entonces, ¿por qué, cuando por fin me había ido, volvieron de rodillas, suplicándome que volviera?

Cinco años de amor ciego y el novio la dejó plantada en el altar para correr detrás de la amiga suicida de la infancia. Ese día, Lía Esquivel por fin entendió que jamás iba a calentar el corazón helado de Darío Serrano. Cortó por lo sano, se fue y decidió empezar de cero. Hasta que, tras una borrachera, amaneció en la cama del hombre más intocable: Lorenzo Altamirano, peor enemigo de su hermano… y encima había sido ella quien se le lanzó primero. Intentó huir de puntitas, pero una mano grande la agarró del tobillo y la arrastró de vuelta. —Lía, ¿me usaste, y ahora quieres escapar? Con lo que me besaste anoche, ¿no piensas hacerte responsable? *** Para todos, Lorenzo era un dios frío y abstinente. Nadie sabía que llevaba años obsesionado con la hermanita de su archirrival. Por ella, Lorenzo dejaba de fingir, se volvía casi loco, compraba un pueblo entero para regalárselo y la acorralaba con la bata abierta, abdominales a la vista y la voz ronca al oído: —Lía, ¿quieres tocar? Se siente muy bien. —¿No que muy santo y muy abstinente? —¿Abstinente? Con los demás. Contigo lo único que tengo son ganas.

Después de la muerte de su amada, Leandro Fuentes me odió durante diez años. Intenté acercarme a él de todas las formas posibles, pero él solo me lanzaba una sonrisa helada. —Si de verdad quieres agradarme... mejor muérete. Aquella frase me atravesó el pecho como una daga. Pero el día que un camión se lanzó contra mí, fue él quien dio su vida para salvarme, muriendo en un charco de sangre. Antes de cerrar los ojos para siempre, me miró profundamente y dijo, con voz entrecortada: —Si tan solo... nunca te hubiera conocido. En el funeral, la madre de Leandro, doña Eugenia, se aferraba a su retrato mientras las lágrimas le nublaban la vista. —¡Yo debí dejarlo estar con Clarisa! ¡Nunca debí forzarlo a casarse contigo! Su padre, don Ernesto, me fulminó con la mirada, y, con la voz cargada de rabia, añadió: —¡Leandro te salvó tres veces! ¡Era un hombre excepcional! ¡¿Por qué no moriste tú en su lugar?! Todos, absolutamente todos, lamentaban que él se hubiera casado conmigo. Incluso yo. Me echaron del funeral como si fuera una ladrona de paz. Sin rumbo, como un alma errante, caminé sin saber a dónde ir. Tres años después, un avance científico rompió las barreras del tiempo: se creó una máquina capaz de llevarnos al pasado. Y yo... yo volví. Esta vez, decidida a no volver a cruzarme con Leandro, a dejar que él y Clarisa estén juntos. Esta vez, haré feliz a todos... aunque eso signifique desaparecer de sus vidas.
