Duas semanas antes do casamento, Theo Salles de repente adiou a cerimônia de novo. — A Suzana disse que nesse dia vai inaugurar sua primeira exposição. — Explicou ele. — Ela vai estar sozinha na abertura, tenho medo que ela não consiga segurar a pressão. Com certeza vai precisar de alguém ao lado. — Continuou. — Nós não precisamos dessa formalidade. Casar hoje ou amanhã, qual é a diferença? Mas essa já era a terceira vez que ele adiava nosso casamento por causa da Suzana Lima. Na primeira vez, ele disse que Suzana tinha saído de uma cirurgia e sentia falta da comida da terra natal. Então, sem hesitar, ele foi para o exterior cuidar dela por dois meses. Na segunda vez, ele disse que Suzana ia se isolar nas montanhas para pintar em busca de inspiração. Ficou preocupado achando que não era seguro ela ir sozinha, por isso, foi junto. Esta é a terceira vez. Desliguei o telefone e olhei para Léo Duarte, meu amigo de infância, sentado preguiçosamente à minha frente. A bengala na sua mão, incrustada de esmeraldas, batia ritmicamente no chão de mármore. Você ainda quer uma esposa? — Perguntei. No dia do meu casamento, Suzana, sorridente e encantadora, ergueu sua taça esperando que um homem brindasse com ela. Mas esse homem, de olhos vermelhos, estava assistindo ao vivo o casamento do herdeiro do maior grupo imobiliário do país, o Grupo Duarte.

Minha irmã e eu éramos gêmeas. Nascemos do mesmo ventre… E fomos marcadas pela mesma sentença: uma grave doença nos rins. Depois de anos esperando por um milagre, dois rins compatíveis finalmente surgiram. A chance de salvar duas vidas. Mas, diante do meu noivo, ela chorou, implorou e pediu os dois só pra ela. Eu me recusei. Como resposta, ele me trancou em casa. E ela recebeu ambos os rins. Ele segurou meu queixo, os olhos frios como navalha: — Você não fica doente há tanto tempo quanto sua irmã. Ela só quer viver como uma pessoa normal. Por que está sendo tão egoísta? Espera o próximo rim, não pode? Mas o que ele não sabia… É que eu não teria tempo. Porque eu… Já estava morrendo.

Depois de renascer, decidi que não iria mais me apegar obsessivamente a Wagner Rocha. No aniversário dele, ele colocou uma placa dizendo: [Cachorros e Juliana Campos não entram]. Dei meia-volta imediatamente e fui para São Cristóvão, ficando bem longe dele. Ele disse que sentia enjoo ao sentir meu cheiro em casa, então obedeci e me mudei sem questionar. Disse também que, após a formatura, não queria nem respirar o mesmo ar que eu na cidade, então parti rapidamente e nunca mais voltei. Por fim, afirmou que a minha presença poderia fazer Clarinda Prado entender as coisas de forma errada. Eu apenas assenti, e logo comecei a sair com outra pessoa. Fui repetidamente fazendo escolhas opostas às que fiz na minha vida passada. Tudo porque, na vida anterior, depois de finalmente me casar com Wagner, Clarinda se jogou de um penhasco e tirou a própria vida. Ele me chamou de assassina, me torturou, me maltratou e, no fim, me deixou morrer no fundo do mar. Desta vez, só quero viver bem. Depois, quando segurei a mão do meu novo namorado, Wagner ficou parado no meio do caminho, os olhos injetados de sangue. — Juliana Campos, se você vier comigo agora, eu perdoo a brincadeira que você fez.

Renasci no dia em que minha irmã e eu tínhamos que escolher nossos futuros maridos, e foi aí que descobri que eu conseguia ouvir os pensamentos das pessoas. Ouvi minha irmã pensando: "Dessa vez, eu preciso garantir um bom marido antes dela." Logo em seguida, ela me puxou às pressas e levou embora o homem gentil que tinha sido meu marido na vida passada. E o homem que costumava bater nela todos os dias, o marido violento, sobrou pra mim. Eu apenas sorri. Ela realmente achava que o homem com quem eu me casei da outra vez era tão bom assim?

No Natal, meus pais decidiram trabalhar para ganhar o salário triplicado, e mais uma vez me deixaram sozinha em casa. Pensando nos últimos vinte anos, em que eles sempre fizeram isso, decidi que não queria passar mais uma noite fria e solitária. Peguei meu jantar natalino e fui procurá-los. Mal sabia eu que aqueles pais, que sempre alegaram estar tentando ganhar um pouco mais de dinheiro, sairiam de um carro de luxo, rindo e abraçando um garoto da minha idade, e entrariam em um restaurante cinco estrelas. — Vocês acham certo deixar Caroline sozinha em casa? — Perguntou o garoto. Minha mãe respondeu com indiferença: — Não tem problema, ela já está acostumada. Meu pai, sem o menor peso na consciência, completou: — Como ela poderia se comparar a você? Você é o verdadeiro tesouro dos nossos corações! Virei as costas e fui embora. Eles fingiram ser pobres para enganar a mim, mas desta vez eu não quero mais a companhia deles!

“Oh my darling Uncle”. I said while hugging him as he was backing me. “Uncle?”. A different voice asked and it seems to come from the person I'm hugging. He turned around with me in his arms and I stared into his eyes. Dark eyes. Uncle Max's eyes are blue, like mine. I let go of him immediately like I had been burned and blushed furiously. “Uhm, sorry. I thought you… were my uncle”. I told him. A chuckle brought my attention back to his handsome face. “Hello cutie, why do you think your uncle is here?” He said, his voice sending shivers down my body. *** Happiness Matthews, a 19-year-old college freshman, thought she had everything figured out when she left her small Texas town for the bright lights of California. But after a dangerous security guard targets her in her new apartment, she has to move in with Mason, her uncle's friend, who she met two years ago at his wedding.

As the lines between family and desire blur, Happiness finds herself drawn to the man who carries both charm and a painful past. But with every passing day, the unspoken rules become more difficult to follow, and a dangerous truth about Mason’s past threatens to tear them both apart. In a story where forbidden attraction and unresolved heartbreak collide, Happy must choose between loyalty, family, love, and her own future—before the stakes get even higher

I panicked. and then he looked up. the first thing I noticed was his short, dark hair. it looked so smooth, and 1 almost reached out to play with it. My eyes trailed down to his strong jaw line, down to his broad shoulders. I didn't even realize that I was biting my lip as I further inspected the Adonis before me. His arm flexed, bringing my attention to the amber eye he was now covering It was him. Six. He is the most popular and dangerous guy in school. And I'd managed to injure him with my calculus textbook.
