The housekeeper became my stepmother, and together with her son, they humiliated and murdered me. After being reborn, I exposed a video of her affair with her lover at her wedding, destroying her reputation completely. I watched as she and her son were kicked out. They left with nothing, wandering the streets like outcasts. I smiled and tossed a moldy piece of bread into their begging bowl. “This is all you deserve.”

A unique video went viral overnight. In the video, on a snow-capped mountain peak, my boyfriend, Ted Moretti, knelt on one knee, his expression tender. Amidst applause, the ring on her finger sparkled; it was the ring of the Moretti family's future bride. Within hours, the video topped various trending charts. People hailed it as the most romantic proposal of the year. Anya Rossi later posted a message. "I've been looking forward to this wedding for so long, and now it's finally happening! Thank you!" The comment section was instantly flooded with excited exclamations. "A Mafia family heir and an ordinary woman? I love it!" "It's like something out of a novel." "So enviable." I went to my boyfriend to confirm. Before I could even speak, I heard him talking to a close friend in the study. “Do I have any other choice?” Ted said, a hint of annoyance in his voice. “If I don’t marry her, her gambler father will sell her off.” His friend hesitated. “But what about Carly? She’s been with you for so many years. Aren’t you worried she might lose her mind?” Ted chuckled, unconcerned. “So what if she’s angry? Carly and I have been together for six years. She won’t leave. She can’t leave.” At that moment, something deep inside me seemed to freeze completely. A month later On the same day Ted and Carly got married, I married another man. Our wedding processions met downtown. According to custom, we exchanged bouquets between the two passing wedding cars, and our windows rolled down simultaneously. That’s when Ted saw me. I was wearing a white wedding dress. Not behind him. But in another man’s arms. After knowing Ted Moretti for so many years, his consistently perfect composure crumbled for the first time.

Cara Nelson ist die Tochter zweier Wächter. Ihre Mutter gab ihr Leben, um die Luna des Rudels sowie deren kleinen Sohn Rik, den künftigen Alpha, zu retten. Ihr Vater wurde gelähmt, als er den Alpha des Rudels beschützte. Cara war dazu bestimmt, Riks Wächterin zu werden, wenn er das Amt des Alphas übernimmt. Doch Rik wusste nicht einmal, wer sie war. Als der Alpha eines Nachbarrudels den Wunsch äußerte, sie zu seiner Gefährtin zu machen, geriet Cara zwischen die Fronten der beiden Alphas. Beide wollten sie als ihre Luna – aber geschah das nur, weil sie eine Wächterin war, die deren Rudel stärken konnte? Während sie zwischen ihrer Anziehung zu den beiden Alphas schwankte, erkannte Cara, dass ihr Schicksal nicht so klar war, wie sie gedacht hatte. Anders als bei ihren Eltern, deren Wölfe die Seelen wiedergeborener Wächter in sich getragen hatten, erfuhr Cara, dass sie und ihre Wölfin die Einzigen in der Geschichte waren, die als Wächter geboren worden waren. Als ein dritter Bewerber um Cara sie gewaltsam zu seiner Luna machen wollte, mussten ihre Alphas sie retten, bevor es zu spät war. Cara war dazu bestimmt, eine Luna zu werden – doch würde es durch Zwang geschehen, durch Schicksal, oder würde sie ihre eigene Entscheidung treffen? Dies ist das erste Buch der Wächter-Trilogie.

Hari itu adalah hari ulang tahunku. Kupikir, Andre akan menemaniku ke pantai untuk menonton kembang api. Tapi, pacarku itu malah membawa wanita lain dan anak wanita itu. "Keisya repot bawa anak, tolong pengertian." "Dia nggak tahu jalan dan bawa barang banyak, jadi aku mau antar mereka ke hotel duluan." Dia mengatakannya dengan enteng, seolah sedang menjelaskan masalah sepele. Kelembutan itulah yang membuat kemarahanku tampak berlebihan dan tanpa alasan. Dia membantu mereka masuk ke dalam mobil dan memasangkan sabuk pengaman untuk anak itu. Lalu dia tersenyum dan berkata kepadaku, "Aku nggak lama pasti balik lagi, jangan mikir macam-macam." Aku berdiri di pinggir jalan, menyaksikan mereka pergi seakan-akan mereka satu keluarga sempurna. Malam tiba. Angin laut terasa sangat dingin hingga menusuk tulang. Aku masih menunggu, sampai aku melihat video di akun Keisya. Andre menggendong anak Keisya sambil menonton pertunjukan kembang api di pantai. Pertunjukan itu adalah kejutan yang aku rencanakan sendiri untuk ulang tahunku. Isi komentar di bawahnya senada. [Mereka pasangan yang serasi, keluarga kecil yang bahagia.] Seseorang bertanya padanya kenapa dia tidak menjemputku. Dia tersenyum dan berkata, "Viona pengertian. Dia nggak mungkin marah." Pada saat itu, kue ulang tahunku sudah meleleh seluruhnya. Ternyata, dia bukannya tidak punya hati. Dia hanya terlalu yakin bahwa aku akan terus menunggu selamanya. Tapi, hati yang terlalu lama diabaikan pasti akan menjadi dingin. Ombak menghantam pantai. Menghancurkan ilusi terakhirku. Kali ini, aku tidak akan menunggunya kembali.

Una empleada de mi empresa se fue a desahogarse en TikTok porque, según ella, yo no le aprobaba la licencia por matrimonio. “Tenemos un bajo índice de matrimonios, una baja natalidad, y es culpa de ustedes, malditos capitalistas. ¡Ni siquiera me apruebas la licencia por matrimonio! ¿Para ti solo soy una esclava? Me creí tus mentiras, eso de ‘vamos a ser una empresa de puras mujeres, una empresa amigable con las mujeres’, y mírate ahora: se te cayó la máscara; ya se te vio la cara de capitalista que exprime a la gente hasta dejarla seca.” El video explotó de la nada; un montón de jóvenes se sintieron identificados y se me fueron encima en redes, al punto de que hasta me mandaron navajas por correo. Yo, como jefa, me lancé a hacer un live y me le fui directo contra ella. “Lo siento, pero la licencia por matrimonio de Blanca no la voy a aprobar. Puede denunciar ante el Ministerio de Trabajo y pedir una audiencia de conciliación; si no hay acuerdo, puede demandarme en un juzgado laboral si quiere.” El live reventó de gente. Entre los que la apoyaban, aparecieron supuestos abogados y hasta se ofrecían a ayudarla gratis a demandarme, pero Blanca se quedó con el gesto tenso, como si no tuviera salida. “Yo solo quería mi licencia; nunca pensé en renunciar, y mucho menos en demandar a Samantha…”

Three years into my marriage with Dominick, Gia, his stepsister, sent me a video clip out of nowhere. I tapped on the video, only to find Dominick tying his stepsister to the bedpost with the tie I had given him. His stepsister lay naked under him, addressing him intimately. After getting their freak on, they shared an embrace, and Gia cozied up against Dominick and uttered, “I don’t like the ring you bought me. Give it to Luna, and tell her it’s a birthday gift from me.” The next day, I sat in an upscale restaurant and stared at the vacant seat across the table. Suddenly, the Underboss wheeled a massive cake toward me. “Don Costa was called away on urgent business. He sent me to deliver your birthday gift.” The box contained his stepsister’s discarded reject. My phone buzzed with new pictures from Gia. Dominick was at the hospital with Gia for a check-up. Without a fuss, I signed the divorce papers and made preparations for a wedding. “Donna Costa, whose names should I put down as the bride and groom?” “Dominick and Gia.” A week from now, I would show the world the kind of filth the supposed solemn Don had been rolling in with his stepsister.

At the annual Mafia Summit, my childhood sweetheart, Salvatore Russo, falls victim to an aphrodisiac slipped to him by a beautiful spy from a rival family. And I, the cherished daughter of the most feared Don in the west, willingly become his antidote. That night, he drives me to the edge of breathless surrender, again and again. "Principessa, what did I ever do to deserve your favor?" he mutters. From that moment on, his love consumes me whole, making me forget what loneliness ever felt like. But in the third year of our marriage, someone sent me a private video of a man and a woman. It's from Rosa Conti, the same woman who once drugged Salvatore. In the video, Salvatore's voice is thick with desire. "Darling, of course I remember. The one who should've been in my bed that night was you." Then, Rosa sends me another voice message, taunting, "Arianna Moretti, for three years, he's been dulling your claws, turning you into something soft and spoiled. Everything he did was just to bring me back." However, she doesn't know that when I love Salvatore, I don't mind surrendering to him. And when I no longer love him, he'll face my fiercest vengeance.
