Big Violin Name

Nakulong sa elevator sa loob ng kalahating oras ang kababata ng asawa ko. Sa galit niya, ipinasok niya ako sa loob ng isang maleta at ikinulong ako sa loob. “Doble ang pagbabayaran mo sa lahat ng pagdurusang pinagdaanan ni Grace.” Napilitang mamaluktot ang katawan ko. Nahirapan akong huminga. Umiyak ako habang humihingi ng tawad, pero ang napala ko lang ay ang malamig na tugon ng asawa ko. “Pagdaraanan mo ang buong parusang ‘to. Kapag natutunan mo na ang leksyon mo, magtatanda ka na.” Pagkatapos ay kinandado niya ang maleta sa aparador. Sumigaw ako sa desperasyon at nagpumiglas para makawala. Tumagos ang dugo ko sa maleta at bumaha ang sahig. Makalipas ang limang araw, naawa siya sa akin at nagpasyang wakasan ang parusa. “Hayaan mong maging babala sa’yo ang parusang ‘to. Sa pagkakataong ito, pakakawalan na kita.” Hindi niya alam na inaagnas na ang katawan ko sa loob ng maleta.

There is a much more inferior position in the Ruber pack than that of an Omega. It’s reserved for those not worth of anything. Yes, that’s me, the nameless girl. No rights, no roots, no identity, not even worthy of a name. No one knows where I came from, if they do, they don’t talk about it. I am a worthless, good for nothing slave Beta Diana took over when no one came forward to claim. That’s what they think, but they are wrong. From the depths of my soul, I know that I’m worthy of so much more than this. Just wait until they see my wolf, then they will know that the nameless girl is not so nameless…. Secrets and bonds under the moonlight

Halos muntik lang naman malunod habang lumalangoy ang kapatid ni Hadden, at para diyan, itinulak niya ako sa pool pagkatapos itali. Iniwan niya lang ako ng maliit na butas para sa hangin na may sukat na isang pulgada. Sinabi niya na pagbabayaran ko ang lahat ng doble para sa bawat pagdurusang dinanas ni Julia. Hindi ako marunong lumangoy. Wala akong magawa kundi subukan ang aking buong makakaya habang umiyak ako at pinakiusapan siya na pakawalan ako. Pero ang natanggap ko lang ay leksyon. “Hindi ka matututo kung hindi kita tuturuan ng leksyon ngayon.” Nagpumiglas ako para manatiling nakalutang, pero… Inabot ng limang araw bago naglaho ang galit ni Hadden at itinigil niya na ang pagdurusa ko, pero huli na ang lahat. “Pakakawalan kita sa pagkakataong ito, pero huwag mo nang uulitin ang parehong pagkakamali!” Namatay na ako sa pagkalunod.

Ein Abkommen zwischen unseren Familien zwang meinen Verlobten Marco Corvini, mich zu heiraten. Meine Eltern waren tot. Seine Besessenheit galt Isabella Falcone, der Prinzessin unserer Rivalen. Am Ende verschlang Marco das Imperium meiner Familie und warf mich den Wölfen zum Fraß vor. Er präsentierte Isabella an seinem Arm wie eine Trophäe, die er gewonnen hatte. Zwanzig Jahre später lag ich auf meinem Sterbebett. Mein eigener Sohn – unser Sohn – hielt das Gift in der Hand. Er sagte, ich sei nutzlos, dass sein Vater die Macht der Familie Falcone brauche. Dann öffnete ich die Augen. Ich war zurück. Zurück am Tag meines Bluteids. Dieses Mal, um meine Familie zu retten, setzte ich nicht meinen eigenen Namen unter das Abkommen. Ich setzte ihren Namen darunter. Den von Isabella Falcone. Und ich? Ich nahm das Vermögen, das meine Eltern mir hinterlassen hatten, und verschwand. Dieses Mal würde ich nicht die Närrin sein, die sich für einen Mann aufopferte, der nie mir gehörte.

After being severely hurt by my husband once again, a reporter comes to me. "Ma'am, wasn't your husband one of the 'Top Ten Most Touching People' ten years ago after he saved you during the earthquake and ended up paralyzed on one side?" I nodded silently. "Ma'am, we're from the TV station, and we're preparing to do a program on the earthquake." I secretly rub my bruised arm and stare at him. "Alright, but could you film it covertly? My husband isn't comfortable with so many cameras around." But to my surprise, on the first day of filming, I end up getting wildly cursed at online.

The biggest mistake I ever made was falling in love with my Alpha husband, William Miller, the ruthless CEO of the William Group of Companies. Orphaned at six, I was forced to grow up under the cruelty of my stepmother and stepsister, enduring years of abuse and humiliation in my own home. At thirteen, my life changed when an Alpha saved me from rogue wolves, fighting five of them to protect me. That night, my heart learned what safety felt like. At eighteen, I saved a stranger from a fatal accident, only for my wolf to scream the truth. He was my fated mate. But fate was cruel. He disappeared from my life for four years. When we finally met again, it was at our arranged marriage. He didn’t recognize me. Worse, he believed the woman who saved him was my stepsister. Now I am his wife, his Luna… Yet invisible in his eyes. How long can a fated mate endure rejection before her love turns into something darker?

I am Eliana Torre, the Consigliere for the Caputo Famiglia. In Deyork, a city controlled by the mafia, everyone calls me Ice Lady. They say I am the first love of many MadeMen, that I clawed my way out of the slums with sheer ability, and am just one step away from the Don of the Caputo Famiglia, Lorenzo Caputo. Only I know that for the past three years, all my hard work and persistence have been just for one goal. I want to be promoted to Senior Consigliere so that I can be worthy of Lorenzo, who is my secret boyfriend. I believe we are in love. We share so many private moments of tenderness, like the late-night embraces in the apartment, the warm breakfast that suddenly appears on my desk, and the way he quietly protects me at business dinners. Until one day, my private photos spread throughout the entire company. I go to Lorenzo for help, but outside his office, I overhear a conversation. "Lorenzo, you casually send out Eliana's intimate photos, and all her efforts over the years are wasted. She can't compete with Fiore for Senior Consigliere anymore. "But I don't get it. Eliana is so beautiful. Even if you are not attracted to her, why do you keep having your brother sleep with her in your place?" It turns out that from the very beginning, Lorenzo is with me only to pave the way for my rival, Fiore Marotta. Even the intimate moments at night are carried out by his younger brother, Vincenzo Caputo, in his place. Tears run down my face. I wipe them away and unlock my phone to buy a ticket to Grayland. Then, I start drafting my resignation letter. I will never, ever return to this city full of deception.
