Black Clover Vol 33

Numa noite de festa, Helena Almeida ouviu Leonardo Mendes dizer: — Helena é muito bonita. Quando a cortejei, foi porque ela me lembrava um pouco a Camila Ribeiro. Todos esses anos, estive apenas tentando encontrar a sombra de Camila nela. Só então ela percebeu que sempre foi apenas uma substituta. Naquela mesma noite, ela discou um número que não ligava há muito tempo. — Oi, pai. Eu aceito voltar para casa e aceitar o casamento arranjado. Mais tarde, em um grande banquete, Leonardo viu o rosto que ele desejava noite e dia. Ao descobrir a verdadeira identidade de Helena, ele enlouqueceu completamente… No dia em que Helena fugiu de casa para evitar o casamento arranjado, Gabriel Costa ficou diante da janela, girando suavemente uma taça de vinho tinto. Seus olhos estavam sombrios e indecifráveis. — Helena, um dia você voltará para mim por vontade própria. Diziam que Gabriel, o jovem herdeiro mais poderoso de Cidade J, era reservado e indiferente às mulheres. Helena acreditava nisso cegamente. Até que, mais tarde, ela descobriu o quão louco ele podia ser por trás de sua fachada de homem refinado e inatingível.

The moment she walked into Lucas Norwig's office, she believed her hope was finally turning into reality.

Lucas had never forgotten her. He met Mia and was in love with her over ten years ago but Mia abandoned him heartbroken and only returning now to threaten him with his past secret that can ruin his reputation.

With old enemies lurking in the background and new threats emerging, the question becomes: can they restore what was lost, or will the very secrets that brought them together tear apart their rekindled love?

— Deixe-me ser sua esposa de verdade por apenas um mês, Daven. Era um pedido simples que soava como a última súplica de uma mulher de coração partido. Mas para Althea Grayson, era o seu orgulho. O preço que ela pedia pelo amor que havia dado, mas que nunca recebeu em troca. Ela sabia desde o início: o casamento deles nunca foi por amor. Daven Callister casou-se com ela por dever, pressionado por sua avó. Não havia abraços ternos, nem olhares carinhosos apenas silêncio frio e uma casa vazia que nunca pareceu um lar. Ainda assim, Althea persistiu. Ela tentou ser uma boa esposa, agarrando-se à esperança de que, um dia, o coração de Daven pudesse se abrandar. Mas sua esperança foi estilhaçada pela traição, Daven queria se casar com outra pessoa. A mulher que ele realmente amava. Com ou sem o consentimento de Althea. E toda a sua família apoiava a decisão dele. De coração partido e desiludida, Althea fez um último pedido: um mês sendo amada como uma esposa de verdade. Um mês... antes de partir para sempre. Daven pensou que fosse uma atitude desesperada, patética, até. Mas aquele único mês mudou tudo. A maneira como Althea sorria, a forma como ela amava tão completamente. Até mesmo a maneira como ela se foi e deixou algo para trás que permaneceu no coração de Daven. E agora, Daven estava perdido. Quando o amor que ele nunca havia reconhecido finalmente se revelou... já era tarde demais? Ou ele deveria lutar contra tudo apenas por mais uma chance?
