Casamento Por Substituição

What happens when a billionaire CEO goes to college? Faith is about to find out. Utterly and completely broke, Faith is forced to work three different jobs to support herself through college. Unlike her counterparts, Faith failed to get the good fortune of being born into a rich family. God's attempt to make it up to her must have been giving her a super sharp brain which is the only reason why she could attend the prestigious Barbell University on a half scholarship. But, with the remaining half of her tuition going into $35,000, Faith is forced to slave away night and day at her part-time jobs while simultaneously attending classes, completing assignments, taking tests and writing exams. Faith would do anything--literally anything, to get some respite, including taking on the job of tutoring a famously arrogant, former-dropout, self-made billionaire CEO of a tech company for a tidy sum. Devlin has returned to college after five years to get the certificate he desperately needs to close an important business deal. Weighed down by memories of the past, Devlin finds himself struggling to move ahead. Can Faith teach this arrogant CEO something more than Calculus and Algebra? Will he be able to let go of the past and reach for something new?

El mismo día que me tocó dar a luz, la alumna de mi esposo —embarazada y con el orgullo atravesado— decidió largarse sola a escalar la Cordillera de los Andes. Mientras él se la pasaba buscándola sin dormir, como un desesperado, yo estaba en el hospital, desangrándome en un parto complicado que me mandó directo a terapia intensiva. Cuando por fin abrí los ojos, lo primero que vi fue al médico entregándole a mi esposo el parte donde decía que mi vida estaba en riesgo... y él, en vez de acercarse a darme un poco de consuelo, me aventó en la cara los papeles del divorcio. —Camila es mi mejor estudiante —me soltó, serio—. No me voy a quedar de brazos cruzados viendo cómo hace semejante locura. Tú vas a ser mamá, te toca aguantar. En esa vida no firmé. Apenas salí de la sala de partos, me fui directo a la universidad a denunciarlo por la relación que tenía con su alumna. A ella la terminaron sacando del posgrado, y la presión fue tan fuerte que un día se cortó la garganta delante de mí. Cuando él llegó, ya no había nada que hacer: dos vidas se habían ido de golpe. Él no dijo una sola palabra, organizó el entierro y después me trató como si nada hubiera pasado. Yo, ingenua, pensé que por fin la vida iba a darme un respiro. Pero el día que nuestra hija cumplió un año, él le pisó al acelerador y el carro en el que íbamos se fue directo al precipicio. Ese mismo día... se cumplía un año de la muerte de su alumna. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, estaba otra vez en la sala de partos, justo en el momento en que casi se me iba la vida.

Mis padres adoptaron a un huérfano. Yo le tomé mucho cariño y lo quería como a un hijo propio. Hasta que me di cuenta de que se parecía cada vez más a mi esposo, Javier Mendoza, y que a mi hermana menor llamaba "mamá" a escondidas. Resultó que mi esposo que tanto amaba me había sido infiel desde hacía tiempo. Él y mi hermana habían formado una feliz familia en secreto. Hasta contaban con la bendición de mis padres. Cuando todo se supo, mi hermana me rogó que los dejara ser felices, y mis padres me ordenaron que les cediera el lugar. El niño que había criado con todo el amor me gritó que ojalá muriera de la peor manera. Pero lo que nadie esperaba era que Javier se negara al divorcio. Lloraba suplicándome perdón, diciendo que me amaba profundamente y que lo del niño había sido solo un error. Fingí creer en su pasión y le dije: —Siete días. Te doy siete días. Si logras demostrarme tu sinceridad, te perdonaré. Él, eufórico, cumplió mi cada deseo y me trató como a un tesoro. Hasta donó todos sus ahorros a mi nombre y obligó a mi hermana a arrodillarse en la nieve para pedirme perdón. Todos pensaron que al final lo perdonaría, hasta el día en que la policía vino a pedir la identificación de un cadáver. Ese día él enloqueció por completo. Lo que Javier nunca supo es que en realidad yo llevaba siete días muerta. La Muerte me había permitido regresar por siete días para darle mi propia despedida.

The anger he was fuming hadn't dissolved yet. "You were whoring around with another man!" "Whoring?" I retorted, "Looks who talking?" "You have no right to be kissing anyone else," he came around to the other side of the car. "You are my mate, for fuck's sake!" "You mean the mate that you don't want!" I shouted at him, "All you do is neglect me, and I have needs. If you get to fuck someone else, then so do I." The growl he emitted echoed across the hills. He lifted the car and slammed it down. I gulped down my fears and observed the raging Alpha. ********************** All rights reserved
