Do As Thou Wilt

"Sign the papers, Estella." Marco slid the divorce papers across the mahogany table, his eyes fixed on Claudia, who hovered by his side with a victorious smile. "Did you really think a nobody like you could keep me?" Estella's throat tightened as she forced herself to meet his gaze. The diamond on Claudia's finger caught the light—his best friend now wearing what should have been hers forever. "You should be grateful," Claudia murmured, resting a hand on her belly. "Letting you go is the kindest thing we've done for you." When Estella married into the powerful Valdez family, she believed in love conquering all. Instead, she found herself cast out, Helena Valdez herself showing her the door when Claudia announced her pregnancy. Then Alejandro De Luca appeared—Marco's sworn enemy offering an unexpected proposition. "A contract marriage," he said simply. "You get protection. I get revenge." Together, they plotted to dismantle the very family that had humiliated her. With each calculated move, Estella reclaimed pieces of herself she thought lost forever. But revenge is a dangerous game. As their plan unfolded and tragedy struck, Estella discovered that survival meant more than settling scores—it meant learning to wield her pain as power. The quietest heart, after all, often hides the most dangerous storm.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Durante as férias, meu namorado, Lucas Mendes, pediu que eu fosse até a casa da sua amiga de infância para ajudar a alimentar o cachorro dela. No entanto, assim que cheguei com a ração, um enorme Pitbull me derrubou no chão e começou a me morder ferozmente. Felizmente, um vizinho me salvou do ataque, mas meu rosto ficou com cicatrizes permanentes, impossíveis de serem apagadas pelo resto da vida. Eu estava à beira de um colapso mental, mas Lucas, em vez de me apoiar, me acusou: — Deve ter sido você que o alimentou do jeito errado e o irritou. Você só ficou desfigurada, mas o Nino perdeu a vida! Por fim, a pressão esmagadora me fez pular do alto de um prédio. Após minha morte, vi Lucas abraçado à amiga de infância: — Amor, você é tão esperto. Deixou o Nino passar fome por dias antes. Agora que ela morreu, podemos finalmente ficar juntos. Ao abrir os olhos novamente, percebi que tinha voltado ao dia em que Lucas me pediu para ir alimentar o cachorro.

Mateus Costa, o homem mais rico de Rio dos Cedros, passou três anos em coma. Durante todo esse tempo, Emilly Araújo, como sua esposa, cuidou dele com dedicação. No entanto, quando Mateus finalmente despertou, Emilly encontrou em seu celular uma mensagem comprometedora que sugeria traição: sua "deusa" havia retornado ao país. Seus amigos, que sempre a desprezaram, riam entre si: — O cisne branco voltou. Já está na hora de deixar o patinho feio para trás. Foi nesse momento que Emilly percebeu que Mateus nunca a havia amado. Ela não passava de uma piada patética. Algum tempo depois, tarde da noite, o poderoso Presidente Mateus recebeu os papéis do divórcio. Motivo: incapacidade do marido. Furioso, ele foi atrás dela, apenas para encontrar sua ex-esposa, antes um "patinho feio", trajando um elegante vestido longo, irradiando uma beleza serena sob as luzes brilhantes. A mulher que ele desprezara havia se transformado em uma renomada especialista médica. Ao vê-lo se aproximar, a Sra. Costa sorriu de leve e, em um tom brincalhão, disse: — Presidente Mateus, veio marcar uma consulta com um urologista?

Depois que o navio de cruzeiro colidiu com um recife oculto, passageiros em pânico acabaram me empurrando, junto com Kristen Langford, direto para o mar. Meu namorado, Elijah Jensen, era o capitão do navio, então ele se lançou na água sem hesitar. No entanto, em vez de me salvar, ele agarrou Kristen e subiu com ela para o último bote salva-vidas. Eu me debatia desesperadamente e gritava por socorro, mas ele bateu na minha mão, afastando-a com força. — Você sabe nadar. Pare de fingir para chamar atenção! — disse Elijah. — A temperatura corporal da Kristen estava caindo. Eu precisava levá-la imediatamente a um hospital! As águas ao meu redor estavam completamente escuras, e aquelas palavras soaram como uma sentença de morte. "Então foi assim que tudo terminou…" Quando a pulseira de rastreamento que eu sempre usava foi encontrada dentro de um tubarão, Elijah acabou mergulhando sozinho em águas infestadas por tubarões, procurando por três dias e três noites sem descanso. No fim, o brilhante capitão que um dia dominou os oceanos nunca mais poderá navegar.

Lindsay Maxwell had once been happy in her marriage until a twisted turn of events ruined it all for her. She can't say, but lately, she has noticed her husband, Engel, has become distant and less affectionate; their marriage has been a cold place in their empty mansion. All she wants is to be separated from him. Engel Gunther, first of the Gunther sons with an alias of the devil himself, when his beloved wife turns her back on him, Engel is forced to show a side of him he has withheld for long, his greed getting the best of him just to keep Lindsay with him. To him, he was protecting his most prized possession; to her, he was hurting her.

"I should've ended you years ago, the moment you soaked me in the garden," my alpha mate said through gritting teeth with anger. There were little times spent without threats and exhaustion. Working as the pack alpha’s maid was better than living with less protection on the streets. But as I yearned for freedom from this nightmarish pack, I suddenly got sent to the past! As my Alpha bully too! That’s not it all, my mate now lives inside my body! Now, what do I do? Should I teach him a lesson? Can I survive living as an alpha of the pack?

Someone pushes me off a cliff when I'm eight months pregnant before taking their life on the spot. Meanwhile, blood pools underneath me as I'm rushed to the hospital. As despair washes over me, I hear Jacob Langley's voice come from outside my hospital ward. "Are you sure it'll work this time?" "Yes, Mr. Langley. Mrs. Langley has taken good care of herself during her pregnancy, but the branch pierced her belly. There's no chance of the baby surviving this, and she won't ever be able to conceive again." "Good. Make sure the culprit's family has been sent away. I won't let anything go wrong before the Adkins agree to adopt Clara." "Yes, sir. Still… why did you need to push Mrs. Langley off a cliff if you wanted to adopt Ms. Jennings' daughter? Mrs. Langley is kind; I'm sure she would've treated the child well." Jacob snorts. "What do you know? Why would Selene agree to adopt Clara if she had her own child? She'll only treat Clara as her own once she can't have children and leave everything she has to Clara. I couldn't marry Kaia back then; this is all I can do to make it up to her." The voices slowly fade away, but they reverberate loud and clear in my mind. I've spent six years by Jacob's side, yet all I've gotten in return are lies and betrayal. His so-called love for me is nothing but a trick to steal my inheritance for someone else. Since this is what he wants, I'll make his wish come true.

"Doesn't it bother you?" I blurted out right there and then, having been asking myself that question since the night we slept together. I was curious, but I'd been obviously avoiding him. "What? That you're the heir to the Siren-" "That I'm trans," I said. I could care less about what he think of me being a Sirenio by blood. "T-That I'm a trans...man," "Does it bother you that I'm bisexual?" he asked me. I hadn't expected that response. Not when I'm having mixed feelings about all of this. "Does it?" he probed, closing what's left of the space between. His scent and warmth envelopes me as I'm caged between him and the sink. I shook my head. "Use your words, Miles," he said running his finger over my bottom lip. I shuddered at the sensation it brought to my body. "You were so good with those, that night," I sucked in a sharp breath. I looked away, and his touch disappeared immediately. "It was a mistake," I whispered, my heart racing. "What...happened was a-" "I don't do mistakes, Miles," Mr Stark said guiding my eyes back to his. "You should know that by now," I let out a shaky breath when his thumb found my bottom lip again. "Does it bother you that I want to fuck you right now?"
