Deok Su Squid Game

Jace Carter—hockey’s golden boy, my worst nightmare… and now my unwanted obsession. He’s arrogant, smug, and hotter than sin in skates. I told myself I’d never fall for a player like him, but one accidental kiss proves he’s more dangerous off the ice than on it. The problem? Jace doesn’t play fair. And I’m not sure if I want to win… or lose to him completely.

Everyone knows that the mafia Don's only son, Antonio Gatti, gets to choose a completely new mistress of his own once every three months. Women who are in dire need of money and have no other option left in life will flock to Antonio's wife, Martina Russo, to apply for the position. If they get to spend a night with Antonio, they'll receive a million dollars. Those who are capable of giving birth to his heir will receive half of his family fortune. There are so many women who want to latch onto Antonio as their ticket to wealth. As for me, Martina, I become the hottest piece of gossip in the entire mafia underworld. "Just what sort of lethal leverage does the Gatti family have over Martina to the point that she can tolerate her husband's whims to this degree?" Everyone is very sure that I will submit to the Gatti family's influence and live a humiliating life for as long as I draw breath. That is, until Antonio brings a young woman named Camilla Ferrara home one day. Camilla is an ordinary woman, and yet she's capable of transforming Antonio, a cold-blooded and violent man, into a completely different person. He gets rid of all his other mistresses for her sake. He cleanses every inch of himself three whole times because she claims that he's filthy. Antonio has become obsessed with Camilla. He tells me, "Camilla is a pure and innocent angel; unlike you, whose hands are completely stained with filthy blood. Your heart is as dirty as the rest of you." He seems to have forgotten that I've done those filthy things just so I can get rid of all the obstacles in his way in order to protect the Gatti family's legacy. On the day Mamma passed away from her illness, Antonio prepared a huge fireworks show that's capable of lighting up the entire sky above New Wis City just to celebrate Camilla's birthday. After that, I find out that Antonio has the gall to dump my mamma's ashes into the fireworks assembly on Camilla's birthday. They end up combusting alongside the rest of the fireworks that night. I toss the divorce agreement in his face with all my might. At the same time, I unlatch the safety on the pistol that's hidden in my sleeve before pointing it at him and Camilla. "I'm giving you two choices right now. Option one—sign the divorce agreement and file for a divorce with me, which entitles me to half of the Gatti family's fortune. Option two—die together with your beloved mistress so that you can go to hell and apologize to Mamma there."

A las dos de la mañana, cuando llegó la llamada urgente de los Ancianos de la manada, yo acababa de salir arrastrándome de debajo de mi amor de la infancia, el heredero Alfa Slade. Mi cuerpo todavía me dolía por su ruda posesión. Como la única sanadora humana en toda la manada Bosque Negro, se me ordenó preparar hierbas como regalo para la alianza de apareamiento de Slade con la manada de las Espinas. Levanté con cuidado el brazo de Slade, que me rodeaba. Tras una noche de pasión, su poderoso cuerpo Alfa aún irradiaba un calor febril. Supuse que esta era solo otra princesa loba a la que él necesitaba rechazar, así que le toqué el pecho con picardía y le pregunté con una sonrisa: —Slade, ¿qué excusa vas a usar por nonagésima vez? ¿Que de repente te dio alergia la princesa? Él se dio la vuelta y me besó la frente, con los ojos pesados por el sueño. —Mi dulce niña, esta vez las hierbas deben ser preparadas por ti, y solo por ti. El éxito de esta alianza descansa sobre tus hombros. Me quedé helada. Durante los últimos diez años, yo había sido su consuelo secreto, la que calmaba sus ataques violentos de ira cada noche. Pensé que, tarde o temprano, me ganaría una ceremonia de unión formal. Pero en ese momento, lo comprendí. Yo era solo una conveniencia, un cuerpo para su uso personal. Si eso era todo lo que yo significaba para él, entonces reduciría a cenizas todo lo que teníamos. Hice una llamada a mi antiguo mentor en el Instituto Nacional de Medicina, el profesor Sterling. —Profesor, ese puesto de investigación sobre genética... ¿todavía está abierto? Estoy lista para regresar al mundo humano. Pero cuando ese Alfa arrogante, que decía que éramos "solo amigos" y "estrictamente profesionales", descubrió que ya no podía percibir ni un leve olor mío en el aire, perdió completamente la cabeza.

My best friend, Sydney Cox, is a troublemaker by nature. She thinks everyone around her owes her a good life. During summer break, she insisted on working in a factory. I was worried that she might get tricked, so I let her work in my family's factory out of the kindness of my own heart. In fact, I even gave her the easiest position with the lightest work. But I didn't expect her to think that her salary was lower than that of the veteran employees in the factory, leading to her setting fire to my neighborhood. The blaze was far too strong. Even though the firefighters came as soon as possible, my family and I still ended up dying in the fire. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day before Sydney's first day in a factory.

Una semana antes de nuestra Ceremonia de Marcaje, en la fiesta de un amigo de Ethan Stormwind, le dije que quería romper con él. Al escucharme, todos se rieron, pues sabían que durante los últimos seis años, mi objetivo en la vida había sido convertirme en su Luna. ¿Por qué querría romper con él si solo faltaba una semana para la ceremonia? Incluso Ethan pensó que estaba siendo irrazonable, y me cuestionó: —¿Solo porque el día de nuestra ceremonia tengo que llevar a Selene al curandero para que le hagan una revisión, estás haciendo un berrinche y quieres romper conmigo? Después de una breve pausa añadió: —Los dos somos adultos, ¿puedes comportarte de manera más madura? Podrías reprogramar la ceremonia. ¿Por qué insistes en ese día en particular? No tengo tiempo para tus escenas de celos. Asentí en silencio. Sí, algo tenía que cambiar, pero no era la fecha de la ceremonia, sino él. Yo iba a aceptar ser marcada por alguien más.
