“I want to taste you, can I?" He asked pleadingly. I was gonna say no, but the throbbing in my nether region said yes. “Yes," I breathed shakily. He then started to kiss my hip bone trailing as he pulled my panties off. “Raise your legs," he instructed and I obeyed.

Pour débarrasser de notre fils, un louveteau, et passer la Saint-Valentin avec son assistante, mon compagnon Marcus a forcé notre chiot blessé à faire de l'escalade et l'a empoisonné. Quand j'ai précipité mon louveteau mourant à l'hôpital, j'ai eu la surprise de voir Marcus en train d'accompagner son assistante pour un contrôle prénatal. Notre pauvre chiot, terrifié, se tordait de douleur à cause du poison, mais Marcus n'en avait rien à faire. « Ce n’est qu’un Oméga. S’il était un vrai loup, il se remettrait instantanément ! » Je serrais dans ma poche l'herbe « Bénédiction de Lune » d'une valeur de 100 millions d’euros que j'avais trouvée par hasard ce matin dans la forêt. J'avais prévu de lui annoncer cette bonne nouvelle aujourd'hui. Mais maintenant ? Il était temps de mettre fin à ce lien de cinq ans.

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.

Un video único se volvió viral de la noche a la mañana. En el video, en la cima de una montaña nevada, mi novio, Ted Moretti, se arrodillaba sobre una rodilla con una expresión tierna. Entre aplausos, el anillo en su dedo brillaba; era el anillo de la futura novia de la familia Moretti. En cuestión de horas, el video encabezó las tendencias en múltiples plataformas. La gente lo aclamó como la propuesta más romántica del año. Anya Rossi publicó después un mensaje: He estado esperando esta boda desde hace tanto, ¡y por fin está pasando! ¡Gracias! La sección de comentarios se inundó al instante de exclamaciones emocionadas: «¿Un heredero de una familia de la Mafia y una mujer común? ¡Me encanta!» «Parece sacado de una novela.» «¡Qué envidia!» Fui a buscar a mi novio para confirmarlo. Antes siquiera de poder hablar, lo escuché conversando con un amigo cercano en el estudio. —¿Y qué otra opción tengo? —dijo Ted, con un dejo de fastidio en la voz—. Si no me caso con ella, su padre la va a vender. Su amigo vaciló. —¿Y qué hay de Carly? Ha estado contigo tantos años. ¿No te preocupa que se vuelva loca? Ted soltó una risita, despreocupado. —¿Y qué si se enoja? Carly y yo llevamos seis años juntos. No se va a ir. No puede irse. En ese momento, algo muy dentro de mí pareció congelarse por completo. Un mes después… El mismo día en que Ted y Carly se casaron, yo me casé con otro hombre. Nuestras caravanas de bodas se cruzaron en el centro. Según la costumbre, intercambiamos ramos entre los dos autos nupciales que pasaban, y las ventanillas bajaron al mismo tiempo. Ahí fue cuando Ted me vio. Yo llevaba un vestido de novia blanco. No detrás de él, sino en brazos de otro hombre. Conocía a Ted Moretti de años, y, por primera vez, vi cómo perdía esa compostura perfecta que siempre lo había caracterizado.

Sebuah video unik viral dalam satu malam. Di dalam video itu, di puncak gunung yang diselimuti kabut, pacarku, Adriel Mahendra, berlutut dengan satu lutut dan dengan ekspresi yang lembut. Di tengah sorak-sorai, cincin di jari perempuan itu berkilau yang menandai dirinya sebagai calon istri Keluarga Mahendra. Dalam hitungan jam, video itu menduduki puncak berbagai daftar tren. Orang-orang menyebutnya sebagai lamaran paling romantis tahun ini. Isabel Santoso kemudian menulis pesan di akun media sosialnya. [Aku sudah menunggu pernikahan ini begitu lama, dan akhirnya sekarang benar-benar terjadi! Terima kasih!] Kolom komentar langsung dipenuhi seruan antusias. [Pewaris keluarga mafia dan wanita biasa? Suka banget!] [Seperti cerita di novel.] [Aku iri banget.] Aku mendatangi pacarku untuk meminta penjelasan. Tapi bahkan sebelum aku sempat membuka mulut, aku mendengar suaranya berbicara dengan sahabat dekatnya di ruang kerja. "Emangnya aku punya pilihan lain?" kata Adriel dengan nada suaranya yang sedikit kesal. "Kalau aku tidak menikahinya, ayahnya akan menjualnya." Temannya ragu sejenak. "Tapi bagaimana dengan Karina? Dia sudah bersamamu bertahun-tahun. Apa kau tidak khawatir dia bisa hilang kendali?" Adriel tertawa, sama sekali tidak peduli. "Terus kenapa kalau dia marah? Karina dan aku sudah bersama selama enam tahun. Dia tidak akan pergi. Dia tidak mungkin pergi." Hampir seluruh tubuhku terasa membeku saat itu. Sebulan kemudian. Aku menikah dengan pria lain di hari yang sama ketika Adriel dan Isabel menikah. Rombongan pernikahan kami bertemu di pusat kota. Sesuai adat, kami bertukar buket bunga di antara dua mobil pengantin yang saling berpapasan, dan jendela kami turun bersamaan. Saat itulah Adriel melihatku. Aku mengenakan gaun pengantin putih dan bukan bersamanya, tapi di dalam pelukan pria lain. Setelah bertahun-tahun mengenal Adriel Mahendra, wajah tenangnya yang selalu sempurna akhirnya retak untuk pertama kalinya.
