Cecilia Lisbon Dress

J'ai épousé le Parrain Matteo en secret. Chaque fois qu'il couchait avec son amour d'enfance, il me promettait un vrai mariage, devant les Cinq Familles. Pendant cinq ans, Matteo m'a fait cette promesse quatre-vingt-dix-neuf fois. Et quatre-vingt-dix-neuf fois, il m'a abandonnée sur l'autel. La première fois, le chat de concours primé de Cecilia est mort. Pour la consoler, il a reporté le mariage de trois mois. Je suis restée seule sur l'autel, les yeux rouges, essayant de calmer les anciens des familles. La deuxième fois, Cecilia a fait une scène dans un casino et a brisé un vase ancien valant cent millions d'euros. Il a détourné le jet privé prévu pour notre mariage et est parti en urgence pour réparer les dégâts de Cecilia. Et chaque fois, juste avant notre mariage, Cecilia avait une sorte d'urgence. J'ai pleuré. J'ai crié. J'ai même pointé un pistolet sur sa tempe. Mais Matteo me plaquait simplement contre le mur et me faisait taire avec un baiser froid et violent. « Elle n'est qu'une ignorante. Toi, tu es Mme Falcone. Montre un peu de dignité, d'accord ? » Après la quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième fois, j'en ai enfin eu assez. J'ai jeté les papiers sur la table. L'encre était encore humide, le sceau de la famille Falcone apposé en bas. « Notre mariage, notre alliance, c'est fini. »

I loved Spencer. Even though I knew he only saw Fiona when he looked at me. I clung to the wedding dress he picked out himself, holding onto the dream of a future that felt so close. But on our wedding day, she came back. In front of everyone, he has my dress ripped apart—for her. Now, he knelt before my grave, begging for forgiveness. But all I could think was, even here, he was ruining my peace.

My sister-in-law, Sabrina Linskey, never hides her hatred for me. Yet, on my daughter Elena Satchwell's birthday, she does something I can never imagine. She gives Elena a dress, claiming she had sewn it by hand. She calls it a blessing for Elena's health and safety. I let her ease the dress onto Elena, relief washing over me as I convince myself that Sabrina finally understands the importance of upholding peace in the family. But Elena's skin begins to fester, until even the lightest touch makes her flinch in pain. That's when I realize Elena's fate has been swapped with Sabrina's son's. Mom and Dad, along with my brother, know all about it. Elena, beyond saying, eventually dies. I, too, am killed the moment I uncover the truth. But when I open my eyes again, I return to the day Sabrina arrives with that dress for Elena's birthday.

Aku menikah diam-diam dengan Bos Matt. Setiap kali dia tidur dengan kekasih masa kecilnya, dia berjanji akan memberiku pernikahan sungguhan di depan lima keluarga. Selama lima tahun, Matt sudah berjanji padaku sebanyak 99 kali. Selama 99 kali itu pula, dia meninggalkanku di altar. Pertama kalinya, itu karena kucing pemenang penghargaan milik Cecilia mati. Untuk menghiburnya, Matt menunda pernikahan selama tiga bulan. Aku berdiri sendirian di altar dengan mata memerah dan berusaha menenangkan para tetua keluarga. Kedua kalinya, Cecilia mengamuk di kasino dan menghancurkan vas antik bernilai triliunan. Matt mengalihkan jet pribadi yang seharusnya digunakan untuk pernikahan dan bergegas ke tempat itu dalam semalam untuk membereskan kekacauannya. Setiap kali tepat sebelum pernikahan kami, kekasih masa kecilnya Matt itu pasti selalu mengalami keadaan darurat. Aku menangis, berteriak, dan bahkan menodongkan pistol ke kepala Matt. Namun, dia hanya menekanku ke dinding dan membungkamku dengan ciuman yang dingin serta kasar. "Dia itu cuma pelampiasan, kamu adalah Nyonya Tanjung sesungguhnya. Jaga sikapmu." Setelah yang ke-99 kalinya, aku akhirnya muak. Aku mendorong berkas itu melintasi meja. Dengan tinta yang masih basah, segel Keluarga Tanjung dicap di bagian bawah berkas itu. "Pernikahan kita, aliansi kita ... sudah berakhir."

Con la epidemia se vio afectado mi sueldo, y para ganar más dinero con el que mantener a mi familia, volví a mi profesión anterior de masajista ciego a tiempo parcial. Sin embargo, lo que no me esperaba fue que había un servicio especial oculto en la última planta de ese salón de masajes. La primera clienta que atendí allí fue Cecilia Lagos, la bella presidenta de mi empresa, y quería que le diera un masaje especial...

He was sent to kill him. He chose to save him instead. Dante Voss is the most feared operative in a shadow organization known only as The Meridian — a man built from discipline, silence, and controlled destruction. He doesn't ask questions. He completes missions. Until the night he's assigned to eliminate Elian Rhys, a brilliant rogue journalist who has gotten dangerously close to exposing the most powerful criminal empire in Eastern Europe. Elian Rhys doesn't run from danger — he chases it. Armed with nothing but a sharp mind, a sharper tongue, and a death wish he'd never admit to, Elian has spent years dismantling corrupt systems from the shadows of his encrypted laptop. He's used to being hunted. He's never been wanted. When Dante chooses to pull Elian out of the crossfire instead of pulling the trigger, neither man is prepared for what follows — a frantic, continent-spanning flight through underground networks, enemy safehouses, and burning cities, where the real danger isn't the assassins on their trail. It's each other. Dante has never needed anyone. Elian has never trusted anyone. But survival has a way of stripping a man bare — and somewhere between a firefight in Budapest and a stolen night in Lisbon, something raw and irreversible begins to build between them.

My father was the most feared Don in all of Sicelia. He ran every illicit arms deal and casino in the underworld, his name alone sent shivers through the Mafia world. He worried that, as his only heir, I might fall for the wrong man. So he ordered every family to send a representative, and I would choose my marriage partner by lot. I drew Bernardo Vito, heir of the Vito family. It was an arranged marriage, but I still wanted to meet him in person. To keep up appearances before the evening banquet, I stopped by a haute couture boutique. The moment I stepped inside, my eyes landed on a deep crimson velvet gown. Just as I reached for it, a sharp voice pierced the air. "I want that dress she's holding. Wrap it up for me." Before I could even react, a clerk snatched it from my hands. I clenched my jaw, forcing myself to stay calm. "I saw this dress first, and I was ready to pay. Is this how you treat your customers?" The woman laughed, as if I had just told the world's funniest joke. Her gaze roamed me with contempt, and she sneered: "This dress is worth five million dollars. A country bumpkin like you can only look. "Me? I am Bernardo Vito's favorite assistant. In this city, nothing I want is ever taken from me!" I could not help but laugh. Bernardo Vito? The very man I had drawn in the marriage lot? I pulled out my phone and dialed. "Bernardo, your favorite assistant just stole the dress I had my eye on. What are you going to do about it?"

Madison looks strange. Usually, she would dress up a little for those parties. However, this time she wears her pajama with cute animals. What's wrong?

On the day of our wedding, my fiancé, Shawn Chandler, insisted that I wear a bridesmaid’s dress while having a million-dollar wedding gown custom-made for his childhood sweetheart. “Jessica said she wants to fulfill her dream of wearing a wedding dress. She’s been looking forward to seeing me get married since she was little.” I threw the bridesmaid’s dress into the trash. His expression darkened as he scolded me, “Why are you so unreasonable? Even if you wear a bridesmaid’s dress, you’ll still be the bride. And if it weren’t for the fact that you’re pregnant, I wouldn’t be marrying you at all!” Placing my hand over my belly, I slammed the door and left. That night, he posted wedding photos with Jessica Jordan on his social media. Five years later, Shawn and I met again at a charity gala. He was invited as a specially invited donor, with Jessica by his side in a custom designer gown. The two behaved intimately. When he saw me crouching in a corner sorting a donated box of old clothes, he frowned and walked over. “Tiana Larrinson, you refused to wear that bridesmaid’s dress back then, and now, you’ve fallen so low that you’re rummaging through other people’s old clothes? “Look at you, sneaking into events like this by picking through scraps. You should’ve just listened to me back then.” I was confused, and it took me a long time to remember who he was. What he did not know was that the items up for auction at this charity gala were my and my daughter's old clothes.
