Aot Marco

For three months, I’d been seeing a guy named “Rex.” A total stranger I’d only met online. We were in the thick of it, that honeymoon phase where every night my phone would blow up with messages that made my pulse jump. “Miss you, sweetheart.” “Dreamt of you again last night. You were all over me, begging for it.” I was about to suggest we finally meet. But then he sent me a picture, a casual shot of his desk, and I saw something familiar: the crest of the Falcone crime family. And I work for a company owned by the Falcones. For three months, I’d been sexting a dangerous man, a made man in the mafia, who could be right under my nose. And just when I was trying to figure out who he was, I saw them. The custom black onyx cufflinks I’d picked out for “Rex”… on my boss, Marco’s, wrists.

Who was I to resist the temptation of a star hockey captain who wanted my body… and my cooking? For two years, I was Marco Marten’s secret lover. A midnight craving he satisfied behind locked doors. I gave him every piece of my soul in the dark, while he gave me nothing but his silence in the light. While he was still warm from my bed, he was busy planning the wedding of the century with the woman who had already stolen my past. To him, I was just a reasonable convenience. To me, he was my entire world. But I am done being the shadow. "We’re done, Marco. I’m getting married, too." His grip tightened on my wrist, his eyes darkening with a dangerous, suffocating possessiveness. "You? Married? Who allowed it?" He thinks he can keep me as his secret while he stands at the altar with her. He’s wrong.

In der Mafiafamilie Rossi galt eine Regel, die seit Generationen überliefert wurde. Vor der Hochzeit bekam der Erbe einmal im Jahr die Chance, ein Los zu ziehen. Zog er ein Glückslos, durfte er seine Ehefrau selbst wählen und einer arrangierten Ehe entgehen. Dante Rossi zog fünf Jahre in Folge ein Unglückslos. Und ich, die seit sieben Jahren mit ihm zusammen war, konnte ihn bis heute nicht heiraten. Dieses Jahr war das sechste. Zufällig hörte ich sein Gespräch mit Marco Valentino, dem Underboss, mit. „Herr Rossi, Sie haben schon wieder ein Glückslos gezogen.“ In Dantes Stimme lag eine Kälte, wie ich sie noch nie zuvor gehört hatte. „Wie immer. Tausche es gegen ein Unglückslos aus.“ Marco zögerte. Dann versuchte er, ihn umzustimmen. „Herr Rossi, Sie lassen es jetzt schon seit fünf Jahren austauschen. Haben Sie denn keine Angst, dass Celia Sie verlässt? Celia ist die schönste Frau in ganz Nopales. Die halbe Stadt jagt ihr hinterher.“ Dante klang vollkommen sicher. „Das wird sie nicht. Celia liebt mich viel zu sehr. Sie wird keinen anderen Mann heiraten. Livias Vater ist damals gestorben, um mich zu retten. Sein letzter Wunsch war, dass ich fünf Jahre lang an ihrer Seite bleibe. Wenn dieses Jahr vorbei ist, mache ich Celia zur Wiedergutmachung eine große Hochzeit.“ Als ich diese Worte hörte, starb auch mein letzter Funken Hoffnung. Dante wusste wahrscheinlich nicht, dass es in der Familie Rossi noch eine letzte alte Regel gab. Wenn der Erbe sechsmal kein Glückslos zog, verlor er das Recht, seine Ehe selbst zu bestimmen. Und außerdem würde ich schon bald jemand anderen heiraten.

Chiara Castelli only wanted one thing, and that was to quit her crappy job, go back to university, and get her life on track after enduring all the trouble that her father got her into. Little did she know that he had one more trick for her: he framed her as his accomplice in a crime against a notorious mafioso. Distraught and betrayed, she ended up in the hands of Alessio De Marco, who was known as the Masked Man, the cruel mafia boss. But what everyone didn't know was that it wasn't just his identity that he was hiding behind his mask. It was his past. Because in a world where werewolves are the unknown killers of humans, he's the runaway Alpha Heir. Will he still survive as a monster in the human world after he met her? Will she be the one to uncover his secrets? Will he punish her for knowing the truth, even if he finds out she is his mate?

At nine months pregnant, I was in the final stretch of my term, and my body heavy with a baby due any day. But my husband, Vito Falcone, underboss of the family, had locked me away. He held me in a sterile underground medical room and injected me with a labor suppressant. As I screamed in agony, he coldly told me to endure it. Because his brother's widow, Scarlett, was expected to go into labor at the exact same time. A blood oath he'd made with his late brother declared that the firstborn son would inherit the family's lucrative West Coast territory. "That inheritance belongs to Scarlett's child," he said. "With Daemon gone, she is utterly alone and destitute. You have my love, Alessia. All of it. I just need her to deliver safely. Then it's your turn." The drug was a constant, agonizing torment. I begged him to take me to a hospital. He grabbed me by the throat, forcing me to meet his icy gaze. "Stop the act! I know you're fine. You’re just trying to steal the inheritance." "To get ahead of Scarlett, you'll stop at nothing." My face was ashen. My body convulsed as I managed a desperate whisper. "The baby's coming. I don't care about the inheritance. I just love you, and I want our child to be born safely!" He sneered. "If you were really that innocent, if you had an ounce of love for me, you wouldn't have forced Scarlett to sign that prenup, waiving her child's inheritance rights." "Don't worry, I'll be back for you after she's given birth. you're carrying my own flesh and blood, after all." He kept a vigil outside Scarlett's delivery room all night. It was only after seeing the newborn in her arms that he remembered me. He finally sent his second in command, Marco, to release me. But when Marco finally called, his voice was shaking. "Boss... the missus and the baby... they're gone." In that moment, Vito Falcone shattered.

Toda véspera de Natal, o herdeiro da família mafiosa Marco, Adrian Marco, deve seguir a tradição da família: sortear um nome para decidir se pode se casar comigo ou não. Porque eu, Irene Cast, não nasci na máfia. A menos que ele tire o papel com o meu nome, ele não pode me tomar como esposa. Por quatro anos, Adrian sorteou quatro vezes. E nenhuma vez saiu o meu nome. Sempre acreditei que ele brigava com a família por minha causa, que estava disposto a arriscar perder o posto de Don só para me escolher. Toda vez que falhava, ele me abraçava com força e sussurrava: – Tudo bem. Sempre tem o ano que vem. E eu o amava tanto que doía. Doía a ponto de eu aceitar esperar, ano após ano. Este ano, eu disse a mim mesma: Se ele ainda não tirar meu nome… vou trocar o resultado em segredo. Cheguei de mansinho à porta do escritório de Adrian e ouvi seu irmão mais novo perguntar: – Don… todo ano você tira o nome da Irene. Por que finge que não saiu? É porque você ainda não conseguiu deixar a Sera ir? E ele apenas respondeu, com a voz fria: – A Sera precisa de mim para algo urgente. Faça como sempre: troque o nome da Irene por um papel em branco. Ele saiu sem olhar para trás. Em vez de trocar, o irmão jogou o papel em branco no lixo, deixou o papel com meu nome sobre a mesa e saiu apressado atrás de Adrian. Entrei no escritório, peguei o papel em branco do lixo e substituí pelo que tinha meu nome. Observei meu próprio nome cair na lixeira. Adrian… eu não quero mais esperar e casar com você. Vou te conceder a sua escolha.

A família mafiosa Rossi seguia uma regra ancestral. Antes de se casar, o herdeiro recebia, todos os anos, uma única chance de tirar a sorte. Se tirasse uma sorte favorável, poderia escolher a própria esposa e escapar de um casamento arranjado. Dante Rossi tirou uma sorte desfavorável por cinco anos consecutivos, e eu, que namorava com ele fazia sete anos, nunca consegui me casar. Aquele já era o sexto ano. Por acaso, ouvi a conversa dele com Marco Valentino, o Subchefe. — Sr. Rossi, o senhor tirou uma sorte favorável de novo. — A voz de Dante carregava uma frieza que eu nunca tinha escutado antes. — Como sempre, troque por uma sorte desfavorável. Marco hesitou por um instante, mas ainda tentou convencê-lo: — Sr. Rossi, o senhor faz essa troca há cinco anos seguidos. Não tem medo de que Celia vá embora? Celia é a mulher mais bonita de Nopales. Metade dos homens da cidade corre atrás dela. Dante respondeu com absoluta convicção: — Ela não vai. Celia me ama demais. Nunca vai se casar com outro homem. Depois, continuou, no mesmo tom calmo: — Anos atrás, o pai de Livia morreu para me salvar. Antes de fechar os olhos, ele me pediu que eu ficasse ao lado dela por cinco anos. Quando este ano terminar, vou compensar Celia com um casamento grandioso. Ao ouvir aquelas palavras, o último fio de esperança dentro de mim se partiu. Dante provavelmente não sabia que a família Rossi ainda guardava uma última regra ancestral. Se o herdeiro não tirasse uma sorte favorável por seis vezes, perderia o direito de decidir o próprio casamento. E, em breve, eu me casaria com outro homem.

As soon as Samantha found out that she is pregnant she decided to leave and stay with her Auntie Lorena in New York. After establishing a new life far away from home, with her aunt and her most beloved son, she thought everything will be all right. Until that one heart-breaking call that compelled her to go back to the Philippines where she came face to face once again with the man she swore never to see again. “Tell me, Sam! Why did you leave? Does it have something to do with what happened to us that momentous night? Was that the reason why you never want to see me again?” How could she give Marco San Sebastian all the answers he is asking for when she knew deep within her heart that he is going to hate her once he found out the truth? Would the love that they have but kept hidden in their hearts be strong enough to salvage their relationship once the truth about Makki has been unfolded? Or would they let personal issues and life's challenges forever impede their love?
