Business Made Simple

Made men are trained to conceal their emotions if they have one, while those who have no empathy or emotions left in them after years of training are blessed. But what could be the downfall of a Made man? Perhaps, could it be the feeling of humanity? *********** Vincenzo Salvatore De Luca, the eldest son of the Bratva, a Made man, feared by all, except his arranged bride, Ava Morales. Ava, the daughter of a businessman, whose father borrowed money from the Bratva and was unable to pay it back. In exchange for the debt he owed, he gave his daughter out for marriage to the Bratva. Among all three sons of the Bratva, Vincenzo accepted to marry Ava, not because of love, but because she intrigued him and he wanted to see how much he could break her. But what happens when he begins to feel some stir in his chest at the sight of his wife? What happens then, when he sees his wife flirting with other men and his vision is clouded red and filled with the need to chop off the fingers of the man flirting with his wife?

Simula pagkabata, humahanga na si Alliana sa Ninong niyang si Amadeus isang propesor. Kaibigan ito ng kanyang mga magulang at isa sa mga taong naging sandigan ng pamilya niya noong bata pa siya. Kahit noon pa man, alam na ni Alliana sa sarili niya na hindi lang basta paghanga ang nararamdaman niya sa kanyang Ninong. Tahimik niyang pinangarap na balang-araw, kapag siya’y ganap nang dalaga, baka sakaling mapansin din siya nito. Lumipat ang pamilya nila sa Vancouver Canada, at doon siya lumaki. Nang bumalik siya sa Pilipinas, isa na siyang kolehiyala. Dahil hindi na makakauwi sa Pilipinas ang kanyang mga magulang, ipinagkatiwala siya kay Amadeus na hindi lang ngayon ay guardian niya, kundi isa rin sa magiging propesor niya sa unibersidad. Sa tabi mismo ng condo unit ni Amadeus siya nanirahan. Mula nang magkita silang muli, hindi nawala ang pagkamangha ni Alliana sa kanya. Hindi pa rin ito nag-asawa. May dalawampung taon ang agwat ng edad nila, pero lalong lumalim ang damdamin ni Alliana sa araw-araw na kasama niya ito. Nakikita niya kung paano ito igalang ng mga estudyante, kung gaano ito ka-organisado at katalino, at kung gaano ito ka-dedicated sa trabaho. Ngunit gaano man siya lumapit, tila may dingding pa rin sa pagitan nila. Turing pa rin sa kanya ni Amadeus ay isang bata. Isang inaanak na kailangang alagaan at ituwid. Nagpasya siyang akitin ito sa kahit paanong paraan na alam niya, at kung hindi pa rin ito bumigay sa kanya tutuluyan na niya itong kakalimutan talaga at ibabaon ang damdamin para rito.

Pendant trois ans, Élodie Mercier s'est comportée comme le toutou fidèle, se pliant en quatre pour Victor Moreau jusqu'à en perdre toute dignité. Mais pour lui, elle n'a jamais été qu'une option de secours, un plan B, une figurante dans sa vie. Dans tout Clairbois, personne n'ignorait que le cœur de Victor Moreau appartenait à Sophie Laurent, et qu'Élodie n'était qu'un pâle substitut. Le jour de son mariage, la vérité lui a éclaté au visage. Kidnappée et torturée pendant trois jours et trois nuits, Élodie a finalement compris la cruelle réalité : non seulement Victor avait refusé de payer sa rançon, mais il en avait profité pour épouser sa précieuse Sophie lors de leur propre cérémonie. Par un miracle inexpliqué, Élodie s'est retrouvée propulsée trois ans en arrière, le jour de leurs fiançailles. Ce même jour où Victor l'avait abandonnée en pleine réception pour voler au secours de Sophie qui venait de tenter de mettre fin à ses jours. Sous les regards moqueurs des invités, Élodie ne s'est ni effondrée ni mise en colère. Au contraire, avec un calme olympien, elle a simplement annoncé rompre leurs fiançailles, en prétextant que le grand PDG du groupe Moreau souffrait d'impuissance. En peu de temps, la nouvelle a fait le tour des réseaux sociaux. Et voilà que ce même homme qui la méprisait tant la plaque contre un mur : « Tu crois que c'est malin de faire ta difficile maintenant, Élodie ? » « Dites-moi, M. Moreau, on ne vous a jamais dit que vous aviez un sacré toupet ? »
