Buod Ng Kabanata 2 El Filibusterismo

Mi amigo de la infancia prometió casarse conmigo una vez que alcanzáramos la edad adecuada —pero en mi ceremonia de boda, él le dio el anillo a mi hermanastra, Sol Huarte. En ese tiempo, era Víctor Lowell, el temible heredero de la mafia, quien me había salvado anunciando públicamente que me había amado por años. Durante los cinco años de matrimonio, él cumplía cada deseo que yo tenía, incluso aquellos que mencionaba de manera casual. Yo realmente creía que era el centro de su mundo. Todo eso cambió cuando me topé con folder clasificado mientras limpiaba su repisa de libros. La primera página era un archivo sobre Sol, con tres palabras en rojo impresas en negrita: “Prioridad de protección.” Le seguía un reporte de misión que yo conocía demasiado bien. En la noche de la misión, hubo un atentado en mi contra. Mi sangre casi se derramó por completo antes de que me salvaran. Cuando desperté en el hospital, descubrí que había perdido a un bebé que no sabía que estaba esperando. Lloré amargamente en los brazos de Víctor, pero no le hablé del bebé. No quería que se preocupara más por mí. Ahora, finalmente me doy cuenta —Sol también había sido atacada esa noche, y las órdenes de Víctor habían sido: “Salven primero a Sol.” Mis lágrimas mojaron el papel, corriendo la escritura. —Está bien —dije suavemente, pero con firmeza en el silencio—. Si mi matrimonio ha sido toda una mentira, voy a desaparecer de su vida. Para siempre.

Cuando el primer amor de mi esposo descubrió que estaba embarazada, me empujó deliberadamente por la borda del crucero. Pero en lugar de gritar pidiendo ayuda, agarré a Camila —mi suegra, la madre de León— que también había caído al agua, y juntas luchamos por sobrevivir. En mi vida anterior, había gritado desesperadamente en el mar, por lo que mi esposo organizó de inmediato un equipo de rescate que nos salvó a ambas. Pero las manchas de sangre de su primer amor atrajeron tiburones que la devoraron viva. Después de que ella muriera, mi esposo dijo que no merecía ninguna lástima por haberme empujado al agua, y aunque yo estaba aterrorizada, él accedía a todos mis caprichos. Sin embargo cuando nuestro hijo nació, ocurrió que él usó la tablilla conmemorativa de su primer amor para golpear al bebé hasta matarlo. —¡Todo es culpa tuya, maldita, por hacerme perder a mi verdadero amor! ¡Ahora sabrás lo que se siente al perder a alguien! Con todas mis fuerzas, hice que él y yo muriéramos juntos. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, descubrí con asombro que había regresado a ese mismo mar.

He shouldn’t have imagined her lying naked on his bed. She shouldn’t have imagined his devilishly handsome face between her legs. But it was too late. Kiara began noticing Ethan's washboard abs when he hopped out of the pool, dripping wet after swim practice. Ethan began gazing at Kiara’s golden skin in a bikini as a grown woman instead of the girl next door he grew up with. That kiss should have never happened. It was just one moment in a lifetime of moments, but they both felt its power. They knew the thrumming in their veins and desperation in their bodies might give them all they ever wanted or ruin everything if they followed it. Kiara and Ethan knew they should have never kissed. But it's too late to take that choice back, so they have a new one to make. Fall for each other and risk their friendship or try to forget one little kiss that might change everything. PREVIEW: “If you don’t want to kiss me then... let’s swim.” “Yeah, sure.” “Naked.” “What?” “I always wanted to try skinny dipping. And I really want to get out of these clothes.” “What if someone catches you... me, both?” “We will be in the pool, Ethan. And no one can see us from the living room.” I smirked when I said, “Unless you want to watch me while I swim, you can stay here.” His eyes darkened, and he looked away, probably thinking the same when I noticed red blush creeping up his neck and making his ears and cheeks flush. Cute. “Come on, Ethan. Don’t be a chicken...” “Fine.” His voice was rough when he said, “Remove that sweater first.”

Axel, handsome, smart, with a secret that hasn't been revealed yet, a secret that could clear up that mess of conflicting feelings that he was just having, that made him feel bad of what he felt for HER. Was it possible to have such strong feelings for someone who was connected to you by blood? But was she? She was the only person who helped him, who got him out of his crisis, who calmed his head when he started thinking too much. Emma was his sleeping pill, and the heartbeat that made his heart live. Ali never let her feelings control her, she didn't want to get hurt, and she never would let anyone get inside that part of her and hurt her. But there was him, Miles, there had always been only him, and he had tried so hard that by now she had become accustomed to his presence, to have him in her bed, but what would have happened if Miles had found something better? Someone who could give him what Ali never did in all those years? Would Alison have understood how important he really was to him or let him fly away from her? Liam had eyes always and only for one person, but that person never looked at him, her attention was focused on someone else, and Liam had done nothing but remain silent, let that love consume him silently until he met her, Ellen. She was everything a man could want in a woman, she consumed him, turned him around in her hands. But what would have happened if that love, that little flash of light had returned when he least expected it? If he had awakened in him that something he thought was lost forever? Who would have chosen Liam?

Después de cuatro años de matrimonio, Alejandro Giraldo, quien nunca publicaba en redes sociales, sorprendentemente subió un post: «¡Vaya, gatita golosa y antojadiza!» La foto mostraba a una chica con una diadema rosa de orejas de gato, comiendo barbacoa y sacando la lengua con las mejillas rojas por el picante. Era Mariana Ospina, la nueva presentadora de su empresa. En menos de un minuto, un amigo en común comentó: «¡Te olvidaste de cambiar de cuenta!» Así que la nueva publicación de Alejandro desapareció sumamente rápido, pero pronto reapareció en las redes sociales de Mariana. Poco después, entró la llamada de Alejandro. Antes, yo habría guardado capturas de pantalla y lo habría llamado primero para reclamarle; definitivamente no habríamos terminado sin una pelea. Pero, esta vez, muy consideradamente, esperé hasta que la llamada se cortara sin contestar.
