Casamento Por Substituição

Billionaire Bennett Graham urgently needed a wife to close a business deal but his fiancée wasn’t ready to tie the knots yet. So his grandmother picked the most unassuming maid for him. Everything was supposed to go incredibly well, and all he had to do was wait until he divorced her a year later. But after seeing Maliyah’s ocean eyes…it wasn’t looking simple anymore. *** Before I could get her up, it was as if she felt the light and an uncomfortable sound came out of her mouth. "Uh-huh..." She raised her hand to cover her eyes. But I didn't have time to wait for her to wake up, so I told her to "Get Up." My voice seemed to scare her, and her light-fearing eyes suddenly widened and she kept moving to the corner. The only voice in the quiet art room was her fear-filled voice, "No...please...go away...don't come close to me." She was afraid of me? I hadn't even spoken to her before, what was she afraid of? This was definitely not going to work, I couldn't talk to her if she couldn't calm down. Then I moved closer to her, my hand on her trembling shoulder, and I whispered soothingly “Calm down.I’m not going to hurt you.I’m not going to hurt you.”I assured and then she moved her hair away from her face as if to stare at me properly. Our eyes met.It was that moment. It felt as if I was enchanted for a moment. Those ocean eyes were the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen.

During the New Year's Eve dinner, my pineapple juice was secretly swapped for alcohol. But I had taken cephalosporin earlier on. The doctors used a lot of effort to save me, but my wife, Jennifer Robinson, shielded the person who was responsible behind her. "This matter ends here. Be generous and forgive him. He didn't do it on purpose." I didn't plan on letting this man off so easily. He had an ambiguous relationship with my wife. But Jennifer interrupted me with a frown. "That's enough! He's only a fresh graduate. What's the point of making a fuss? Do you have to ruin the rest of his life to feel satisfied?" I looked at how my wife was protecting him and my heart sank. "Then you two can spend the rest of your lives together."

After half a month of nonstop overtime, I secured a contract worth over ten million, pulling the company back from the brink of collapse. My boss, Richard Gray, was overjoyed. At the celebration party, he called me the pillar of the company and announced that he would reward me with a bonus. However, when the end of the month came, and I opened my payslip, I froze. Negative 250 dollars. A negative commission? I actually owed the company 250 dollars? I immediately called the finance department, asking if there was a mistake on my payslip. They replied, "No mistake. This is the cost calculation formula that Mr. Gray personally instructed us to use. He said you'd understand once you saw it." I went straight to Richard for an explanation. He laughed. "The contract that you signed, after factoring in the concessions, upfront resources, and hidden expenses, left the company with a net loss of 150 thousand. Since the loss was due to your personal decisions, you're responsible for five percent. That totals to 7500. "Considering how hard you worked, we deducted it from your base salary first. But your salary wasn't enough, so you still owe the company 250. Don't worry. The company treats its employees well. We'll write that off." Soon after, he awarded 100 thousand dollars to the newly arrived intern. I watched the newcomer, probably connected to Richard, cheerfully treat the entire company to dinner with her bonus, and something inside me just snapped. From that day onward, I did the bare minimum. I clocked in. I clocked out. Nothing more. Later, when a critical project went catastrophically wrong and the company faced a colossal compensation demand, Richard came begging me to fix it. I just smiled and said, "Sorry, Mr. Gray. I've already resigned. If there are any problems, you can ask the intern who got the 100 thousand dollar bonus to handle it."

J'étais autrefois la princesse chérie de la Meute de la Lune d'Argent, adorée de tous. À l'époque, je suis tombée amoureuse de Karl, l'un des sauvages de la meute. Mais lorsque je me suis ennuyée de notre petite histoire, je l'ai écarté sans hésiter. Des années plus tard, ma meute a été détruite et mes parents ont été tués. Karl, cependant, était devenu l'Alpha d'une nouvelle meute puissante. Il m'a revendiquée, me forçant à devenir sa Luna. Tout le monde disait que j'avais de la chance, mais ils ne connaissaient pas la vérité. Ils ne savaient pas qu'il ramenait chaque nuit différentes louves sur notre territoire. Et à cause de notre lien de compagnon, chaque moment d'intimité entre eux me brûlait l'âme comme un feu ardent. Je n'ai jamais pleuré, je n'ai jamais protesté, j'ai simplement tout enduré en silence. Mais mon silence ne faisait que rendre Karl plus instable. Cette fois-ci, il est allé encore plus loin. Il a mis sa Bêta, Cholé, enceinte. Mais je restais calme. Furieux, Karl m'a projetée contre un mur de pierre rugueux. « Estelle, tu m'aimes ou pas ? » Je pensais que ses accès de colère étaient une manifestation tordue de son amour, qu'il attendait que je craque. Mais ensuite, Cholé et moi commencions à accoucher en même temps. Je l'ai supplié de m'emmener d'abord à l'hôpital de la meute, et je voulais lui dire que je n'avais pas eu le choix lorsque je l'avais rejeté à l'époque. Il m'a serrée dans ses bras, pour me repousser quelques instants plus tard. « Tu vois ? Je savais que tu craquerais. » « Arrête de faire semblant. Tu te prends vraiment pour une princesse hautaine et puissante ? » Il a ignoré mes supplications, ignoré la vie de son propre petit en moi. Il a pris Cholé dans ses bras et est parti sans se retourner. Sa voix froide a résonné dans notre lien mental. « Ne t'inquiète pas, je ne t'abandonne pas. » « Tu mérites de ressentir une fraction de la douleur que j'ai ressentie quand tu m'as rejeté. Savoure-la. »

No dia em que fomos registrar o casamento, meu namorado Eder Leite mandou que me expulsassem do cartório civil e entrou de mãos dadas com sua amiga de infância. Ele olhou para mim com indiferença: — O filho da Rosana precisa ser registrado. Depois que nos divorciarmos, eu me casarei com você. Todos achavam que eu, tão apaixonada, aceitaria esperar por ele mais um mês sem reclamar. Afinal, eu já o esperava há sete anos. Mas naquela mesma noite, aceitei o arranjo da família e fui para o exterior em um casamento combinado. Desapareci do mundo dele. Três anos depois, voltei ao Brasil acompanhando meu marido para visitar a família. Por causa de um compromisso de última hora, meu marido pediu que a filial brasileira da empresa enviasse alguém para me buscar. Jamais imaginei que reencontraria Eder, desaparecido da minha vida há três anos. — Já chega dessa birra, está na hora de voltar... O filho da Rosana vai começar a frequentar o jardim de infância, e você ficará responsável por buscá-lo e levá-lo.
