Arti Thinking Out Loud

En mi quinto año de matrimonio con el Don de una poderosa familia mafiosa, descubrí que el amuleto de protección que me regaló me provocaba dolores de cabeza cada vez que lo llevaba conmigo. Como cirujana, esto me alarmó. Tomé los pequeños sobres que encontré dentro del amuleto y los llevé al laboratorio de toxicología del Hospital Kosley. El médico los inspeccionó y me dijo que contenían un tipo de veneno de acción lenta que no solo daña el cuerpo de la víctima, sino que también la vuelve infértil después de un tiempo. Lloré y exclamé: —¡Pero eso es imposible! ¡Mi esposo fue quien me dio esto! Se llama Vincenzo Cursley. ¡También es el dueño de este hospital! El médico me miró confundido. —Señorita, por favor, deje de decir tonterías. Conozco al señor Cursley y a su esposa. Son muy cercanos e íntimos entre ellos. Además, la señora Cursley dio a luz a un bebé hace poco. Ambos están ahora en la sala VIP, cuidando de su bebé. Entonces, el médico me mostró una foto en su teléfono. Vincenzo vestía su traje negro habitual con el emblema de la familia Cursley bordado en él. Sostenía a un bebé en brazos, y en cuanto a la mujer que estaba a su lado... La conocía. Se llama Claudia Henderson. Y Vincenzo siempre se ha referido a ella como su hermana adoptiva.

My five-year marriage with Alexander was like a couture gown, ripped to shreds. "I want Victoria to show your collection for the New York Fashion Week spring preview." My husband Alexander's voice cut through the sketch I was working on. I stopped drawing. I must have heard him wrong. "What did you say?" "Victoria is new. She needs a platform. Your new spring collection is the perfect springboard for her." "You're a showstopper every year. What's the harm in giving her one shot?" he asked, his tone as casual as if he were discussing the weather. "Besides, the brand needs new blood." I stared at the man I'd spent five years with. Suddenly, his face looked sharp, unfamiliar. "Do you have any idea how many nights I've stayed up working on this collection? And you want to give it to some new assistant?" "Evelyn, don't be so petty. It's just a preview." His expression turned cold. "I've already decided." I clenched my fists, a thousand emotions churning inside me. Fine. If you're going to treat me like this, don't blame me for leaving you.

Hot. Fast. Dangerous. Only two things are capable of sating my hunger: racing and women. I’m a devil behind the wheel, and there isn’t another man in New York City who can beat me. Nor any dumb enough to try. But there was a woman who could. My ex-wife, Evie. And she did. Messed me up real good. Thanks to her, I gave up my dream of racing, but I can’t run from fate forever. The evil bastards at her side have taken over the underground racing scene, but I’m diving back in deep. With my focus on the road, the last thing I need is a distraction, but that’s just what Laina is. My best friend’s little sister feels off limits, until she isn’t. Perfect curves and a smile that could melt hearts, this woman has me wanting to say yes from the start. She’s relentless and drives me mad with the desire to be bad one more time—just for her. I might be outracing demons, but I’m not running from anything. Not me. Not ever again.

After completing my studies overseas, it's time for me to marry Cynthia Norton, my childhood sweetheart. But on the day I'm supposed to pick up the wedding tuxedo, I see my tuxedo, which is a custom-ordered suit that's worth a million dollars, being worn by Theodore Hasting, the low-income student Cynthia is currently sponsoring. When I demand that the tuxedo be returned, I get called the homewrecker instead. People even mock me for being a boy toy who wants to take the shortcut by clinging to a rich woman. Cynthia tells me Theodore has never experienced wearing a wedding tuxedo before, so she wants me to graciously give him the chance. I like doing charity work the most. Since I can give a million-dollar wedding tuxedo away, I should just give the marriage contract away too. Then again, not anyone can simply accept the marriage contract meant for me, the heir of the Emerson family.

Hailey thought marrying Rome Martinez would be the adventure of a lifetime—and she was right, just not in the way she imagined. As a kindergarten teacher who thrives on structure and routine, Hailey never expected to fall for someone like Rome: mysterious, spontaneous, and utterly unpredictable. Their whirlwind romance swept her off her feet, and saying "I do" felt like diving into uncharted waters—thrilling, terrifying, and full of possibility. But marriage without a map is more complicated than Hailey anticipated. Rome refuses to be tied down by rules or expectations, believing that true love needs no boundaries. What started as exhilarating freedom soon leaves Hailey adrift, craving the stability and normalcy she never knew she needed. As the lines between adventure and chaos blur, she begins to wonder: Can a marriage survive when only one person sets the course? Without boundaries to guide them, Hailey and Rome's relationship teeters on the edge. Will their love be strong enough to weather storms of jealousy, misunderstanding, and unmet needs? Or will their vastly different visions of marriage pull them apart? When one partner's desires eclipse the other's, can intimacy—physical and emotional—truly flourish? In this compelling and heart-wrenching story, discover what happens when love collides with reality, and whether a marriage built on passion alone can find its way to solid ground. Some journeys change you forever. This is one you won't want to miss.

Tu es plus forte, tu peux te débrouiller pendant qu'on règle les choses. » Je savais que ce moment allait arriver. J'ai donc signé mon nom. Dans cinq jours, je serais envoyée au loin. Et j'ai décidé que quoi qu'il arrive, que je vive ou que je meure, j'en ai fini avec ma famille et mon fiancé. Dans ces derniers jours, j'ai donné tout ce que je possédais. Le casino ?
