Bab 138

“You think you're suffering? Wait till I make you taste powerlessness. From now on, you breathe carefully around me.” That is the most dangerous sentence anyone had said to her, and she couldn't blame him because she walked into his broken life uninvited and she must survive it. … … Dahlia had everything until one accident stole her daughter’s future, shattered her husband’s faith, and turned her empire into ashes. Framed. Divorced. Abandoned. With nothing left but desperation, she signs a contract to carry a stranger’s child for money that could save her daughter's life. She doesn’t know the stranger is Wellington Chane… A ruthless businessman haunted by fire, loss, and vengeance. A man who swore to make her suffer. Now trapped under his roof, Dahlia must survive a war she never started, enemies who share her blood, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Because the child growing inside her is more than a bargain… It’s the spark that could burn them both alive… Or bring them back to life.

Love For The Wicked Book Four. Hot. Gorgeous. Feisty. Those were my first thoughts when I saw Benny Martinelli. Mine. The word flashed in my brain like a neon sign. That body, those piercing green eyes - even clouded with tears - drove me wild. Her mere presence sent my mind on a tailspin of indecent musing. If we were under normal circumstances, I would’ve owned her right then and there. But we were not. She was the Big boss’s long-lost daughter and Bossman’s kid sister. She was off limits, a demilitarized zone. Problem is, Bossman assigned me to protect her from her psycho ex-fiance. And the even bigger problem is, the more time I spend with her, the drive to make her mine grows deeper, overshadowing the mission given to me. I knew not to give in to my desire to touch her; I was smarter than that. Or I thought I was.

Ten years ago, the world of billionaire Elias Thorne collided with the grounded simplicity of recent grad Vivian Holloway during one scorching, unforgettable summer fling. For a few perfect months, they lived in a bubble of passion and promises, believing their connection could overcome anything. But Elias was the heir to Thorne Global, and his ruthless family—determined to secure a crucial business merger—intervened. His controlling father orchestrated a painful lie: Elias was forced into an arranged engagement, believing Vivian had coldly abandoned him for her career. Meanwhile, Vivian's fervent attempts to contact Elias went unanswered. When she discovered she was pregnant, she made a difficult choice: she would protect her child, from the manipulative Thorne empire, choosing a life of quiet independence over battling a family that clearly didn't want her. She built a quiet, fiercely independent life for herself and her son, far from the cold reach of the Thorne empire. Elias Thorne, a cold and driven CEO, arrives in Vivian’s small coastal town. His latest ambitious real estate project requires him to acquire her property, bringing him face-to-face with the woman he never stopped mourning—and the undeniable, ten-year-old proof of their shared past. The shock of seeing Leo shatters a decade of misunderstandings. Elias realizes he was betrayed by his own family. He demands his place in Leo’s life, furious at the time he lost. But Vivian, fiercely protective, has built a life without him and refuses to risk her son's happiness on the word of the man who vanished. As Elias fights to earn back her trust, proving he is more than just the Thorne name, his family discovers the truth and prepares a new attack. Elias must choose: the corporate legacy he was born into, or the family he fought his way back to.

Giorgo Romero, der Don der Familie Romero, wurde von einem selbstmordbereiten Wahnsinnigen in einen Hinterhalt gelockt, der Sprengstoff am Körper trug. Damals waren mein Mann Fabio Lopez und seine Männer bereits mit seiner Jugendliebe Reina Digiorno auf einer Modenschau, um sie dort zu beschützen. Statt den Signal-Knopf an meinem Ring zu drücken, stürzte ich mich trotz meiner hochschwangeren Verfassung auf Giorgo. So schaffte ich es, ihn mit meinem Körper vor der Explosion zu schützen. In meinem vorherigen Leben drückte ich den Knopf. Fabio ließ Reina zurück, um schnell zum Tatort zurückzukehren und Giorgos Leben zu retten. Wegen dieses Einsatzes wurde er zum Underboss befördert. Doch Reina war wütend auf Fabio, weil er sie vorzeitig allein gelassen hatte. Aus purer Trotzreaktion überquerte sie die Autobahn. Dabei wurde sie von einem Auto erfasst und starb. Fabio sagte zwar nichts, aber am Tag, an dem bei mir die Wehen einsetzten, ließ er mich in ein unterirdisches Auktionshaus bringen. „Der Don hatte so viele Soldaten als Schutz! Warum hast du mich überhaupt gezwungen zurückzukommen? Doch nur, weil du den Ruhm willst, die Frau des Underboss zu sein! „Wäre es nicht um dich, wäre Rena nicht gestorben! Du musst tausendmal so viel Leid wie sie ertragen!“ Ich konnte nur zusehen, wie die Gäste nacheinander auf meine Organe boten. Nicht einmal die Nabelschnur meines Neugeborenen blieb von der Auktion verschont. Am Ende starb ich an einer Infektion, die während der Organentnahme entstanden war. Als ich meine Augen wieder öffnete, war ich zurück an dem Tag, an dem Giorgo überfallen wurde.

Here she was, thinking she was going to be working as their maid, but she was mistaking. She was only brought here to be their breeder. "I don't want to," As much as she wants to refuse, she knows that she has no choice at this point. These people already bought her, and she's now their property. "Now, sign the contract," With a deep frown settling on the woman's face, she pushes the paper to her to sign...

Isang salitang “diborsyo” ang wawasak sa pitong taong kasal ni Mariel Benning. Sa loob ng isang iglap, ang asawang si Billie Walter—ang lalaking minsang nangakong “habambuhay”—ay humiling ng kalayaan para pakasalan ang ibang babae: si Vicky Singson, ang babaeng sinasabing may anim na buwang taning ang buhay. Habang pinupuri ng mundo si Vicky, unti-unting naglalaho si Mariel sa mga anino ng kasinungalingan. Ngunit sa ilalim ng kanyang katahimikan, may lihim siyang tangan—isang lihim na mag payanig sa lahat. Pag-ibig, pagtataksil, at paghihiganti—isang kwento ng babaeng iniwan, ngunit hindi natalo. Dahil kapag ang puso’y minsang sinugatan, matututunan nitong tumibok muli—hindi para sa iba, kundi para sa sarili. “Hindi ko kailangan maging perpekto para manatili ka. Pero sa pag-alis mo, doon ko natagpuan kung sino talaga ako.”
