Black Clover Vol 33

Durante una delicada operación de trasplante de corazón, mi esposo insistió en que su amiga de la infancia, Sofía Sánchez, una simple estudiante en prácticas, fuera su asistente. Solo porque la reprendí por llevar las uñas artificiales durante la cirugía, salió furiosa del quirófano. Mi esposo, sin importarle el paciente en cirugía, la siguió para consolarla. Le supliqué que volviera para terminar la operación, pero me respondió: —Sofi está triste. ¿Puedes no hacer un escándalo en este momento? La operación puede esperar. ¿Qué importa eso comparado con Sofi? Al final, el paciente fue abandonado en la mesa de operaciones durante cuarenta interminables minutos, muriendo de dolor. Después descubrimos que el paciente era nada menos que el alcalde de nuestra ciudad, un hombre muy respetado. Mi esposo y Sofía decidieron echarme la culpa del accidente médico: —¡Si no hubieras hecho un escándalo en el quirófano y nos hubieras echado, el alcalde no habría muerto desangrado! ¡Todo es culpa tuya! Al final, no pude defenderme. Fui condenada a cadena perpetua sufriendo en prisión hasta morir en prisión. Mientras tanto, mi esposo y su amante caminaron hacia el altar y se casaron. Al abrir los ojos de nuevo, me encontré de regreso en el día de la operación del alcalde en nuestro hospital.

Welcome to Blackwood University, where the tuition costs a fortune, but the secrets cost your life. I thought a scholarship to the country’s most elite university was my ticket out of the shadows. I was wrong. I didn’t just walk into a school; I walked into a lion’s den. And sitting on the throne is Niccolò De Luca. Nico is beautiful, brilliant, and brutal. He is the heir to the most powerful crime syndicate on the East Coast, and he runs this campus like his personal kingdom. He breaks hearts, he breaks bones, and now, he’s decided to break me. Not because I’m the scholarship case. But because he knows who I really am. I am the daughter of the man who stole millions from the De Luca family and vanished. Nico intends to use me to lure my father out of hiding. His plan is simple: torment me until I break, make my life a living hell, and keep me under his thumb until the debt is paid in blood. But the line between hate and obsession is razor-thin. When his torment turns into possessiveness, and his taunts turn into touches I can’t refuse, the game changes. I was supposed to be his pawn, but I’m becoming his weakness. Now, with a rival family closing in on campus and my father’s enemies circling, Nico has to make a choice: Hand me over to settle the score... or burn the world down to keep me. "You think you can hide from me in the library, little mouse?" Nico whispered, his breath hot against the shell of my ear as he pinned me against the stacks. "You are living on borrowed time. And unfortunately for you, I’m the one collecting the interest."

"Salut, oui, tu ne rêves pas, c'est bien la ronde Kelly," me dis-je intérieurement en voyant l'expression mécontente de Jason, visiblement déçu. Les invités rient de nous. Ils nous affublent de toutes sortes de surnoms. "Le prince charmant et Kelly, la mangeuse de pancakes" est celui dont je me souviens tristement. "Moi, Jason Bentley du clan du Sud, je te rejette, Kelly Thompson, comme compagne et Reine Luna," déclara-t-il avec fermeté. *** Kelly Thompson, une jeune louve de dix-huit ans, voluptueuse et sans loup intérieur, admire en secret Jason Bentley, l’héritier du trône du puissant clan du Sud, depuis plusieurs années. Malheureusement pour Kelly, Jason, l’héritier Alpha, ne lui rend pas son affection. Il est déjà épris de Betty Nord, la fille élancée des anciens Gammas de son père. Cependant, Kelly a un avantage sur la frêle Betty grâce à un serment solennel prononcé par le père de Jason, le Roi Alpha Don Bentley. Ce dernier a promis que son fils épouserait la fille de ses Betas, morts il y a deux ans en combattant les plus féroces adversaires du clan du Nord pour protéger l’héritier Alpha. Mais, bien sûr, rien ne se passe aussi simplement que Kelly l’avait imaginé.

No dia do julgamento, meu noivo, Tiago Assis, me pediu para não insistir mais na defesa da minha inocência e me pediu para assinar o acordo de confissão. — Eu sei que você é inocente, mas a Barbara está grávida de um filho meu. Eu não posso deixá-la ir para a cadeia. — Ele segurou minha mão, com lágrimas nos olhos. — Mari, eu também estou fazendo isso pelo seu próprio bem. Sem hesitar, assinei o acordo de confissão. Na vida passada, eu não aceitei assumir o crime no lugar da Barbara Lins. Como resultado, não só fui para a cadeia do mesmo jeito, como também fui torturada por ordem de Tiago até ficar estéril para o resto da vida. Agora que voltei no tempo, escolhi satisfazer o desejo dele. No dia seguinte, as notícias sobre meu suposto roubo de informações confidenciais se espalharam por todos os lugares. Barbara chegou a se apresentar como testemunha: — Sim, foi ela! Eu vi ela invadindo o Grupo Lopes com meus próprios olhos! Mas, à tarde, na audiência, o denunciante, Ricardo Lopes, retirou o processo e desistiu da ação. Sob os olhares surpresos de todos, ele tirou um anel de diamante e se ajoelhou diante de mim. — Mari, você aceita se casar comigo?

Sarah Vale avait tout pour être heureuse jusqu'à ce qu'une nuit vienne tout bouleverser. Trahie par l'homme en qui elle avait le plus confiance et poignardée dans le dos par sa meilleure amie, elle a vu sa vie s'effondrer sous les projecteurs, le monde entier se moquant d'elle en direct. Puis il est apparu. Alexander Blackwood. Milliardaire. Froid. Impitoyable. Imprévisible. Il lui a offert un choix : un mariage stratégique et contrôlé… ou la ruine et l'humiliation. Un an. Un contrat. Une union fondée sur le pouvoir, non sur l'amour. Mais dans un monde de secrets chuchotés, d'intrigues et de regards indiscrets, le contrôle n'est jamais absolu, pas plus que le désir. Alors que Sarah évolue dans une vie où chaque regard est une provocation et chaque mot une arme, elle découvre que l'homme qu'elle a accepté d'utiliser est peut-être le seul capable de la briser… et que la passion qui les consume est plus dangereuse que tout ce qu'elle a jamais connu.
