Durante três anos de casamento secreto, Henrique Carvalho aparecia apenas duas vezes por mês, cumprindo de forma fria o dever de marido. Nunca se importou, nunca quis conhecê-la de verdade. Quando o prazo terminou e ele correu de volta ao antigo amor, foi ela quem, com um sorriso sereno, decidiu partir sem olhar atrás: — Henrique, quero o divórcio. Você está livre agora. Ela desistiu dele, deixou para trás a família que nunca teve e mergulhou no trabalho. Brilhou, conquistou o mundo e tornou-se inalcançável. Ao lado dela, já não havia espaço para ele. Henrique foi, pouco a pouco, sendo arrebatado pelo brilho e talento dela. Mas apenas quando a perdeu para sempre… Descobriu a verdade que mudava tudo. Só então entendeu: havia apagado a existência dela duas vezes. E foi ela quem atravessou continentes para defendê-lo, firme, apenas para quitar a dívida de uma vida salva no passado. Quando percebeu o erro, já era tarde. Ela resplandecia como um tesouro nacional, inalcançável a todos. Ele iniciou a jornada para reconquistá-la… Mas recebeu a resposta gélida: — Não quero mais ser a sua esposa. Agora, chegou a vez dele lutar por ela. E, para tê-la de volta, não medirá esforços… Nem mesmo os mais duros.

Race International Corporation is now facing an issue as to why the company’s ratings and sales have dropped. To organize this Rena Claudia Race, the female heiress, had to marry the sole heir of the Fe Veragon Franchise. At first, she thought everything was going to be easy. That by agreeing to marry that man everything would be all right. But what she didn’t know, as Weidal entered her life many more problems lay ahead. And the worst part? She'll fell in love with him. At the time of their wedding, would she say I do or runaway? "I thought you loved me so I became complacent. But was I wrong the moment I believed you felt the same?"

After ten years together, Aiden, my Alpha, my first and only love, finally promised to hold the mating ceremony with me during the Spring Hunt Festival. I was overjoyed. That night, at the festival party, I downed a few extra glasses of wine. However, Aiden, who had always been so gentle with me, suddenly became someone I didn't recognize. He scolded me, said I was unfit to be the future Luna if I couldn’t even follow the rules, and shoved me out of the car. Drunk and dazed, I was left alone in the dangerous Shadow Forest. Terrified but unwilling to break, I walked through that forest for five hours in the dead of night. When I finally made it back to our home, I heard him in the other room, sending a voice message to Seraphina, his first love. "If you’re willing to come back," he said, his voice soft and warm, "I’ll do anything for you." Seraphina replied, "Even cancel the mating ceremony?" Time stopped. I silently counted to thirteen. Then, I heard his answer: "Yes." Listening to that voice—the one that used to whisper promises to me—I cried. If that was what he truly wanted, then maybe calling off the ceremony was for the best. So, to spare him the choice, I fled. On the day of our mating ceremony, I disappeared. No one expected what came next. The proud, composed Alpha Aiden went mad trying to find me.

En medio de la fiesta de compromiso, cuando la torre de champán ya iba por la mitad, el celular de Marcos Harrison sonó. Me miró fijo y soltó, serio: —Tengo que irme. Lilia se desmayó en el aeropuerto. —Si te vas, lo nuestro se acaba —le respondí con firmeza. De todos modos, se fue... justo frente a doscientas personas. Cargó a Lilia Harrison en brazos —llevaba el abrigo que yo le había regalado— y se fue en mi auto. Al día siguiente recibí un correo: "Lilia se mudará a mi departamento. Me necesita. Ojalá lo entiendas. Cuando se recupere, tú y yo nos casamos. Confía en mí." Me quedé mirando la pantalla y, sin darme cuenta, solté una carcajada. Al final, no era a "quien lo amaba" a quien quería, sino a "quien lo necesitaba". Y yo, por ser tan autosuficiente, no le servía. Esa noche busqué un número en la agenda: el de alguien a quien jamás tomé en serio, pero que me había esperado por veintitrés años. Llamé. —Mañana a las siete, en el restaurante frente al mar.

A town with a strange past. A group of teenagers with secrets to hide. A world inside a box and a man who should no longer exist. Will they ever find out where they truly belong?

After dating for seven years, I proposed a hundred and one times to my boyfriend, Jason Brown. However, he always told me that he was not ready, rejecting my proposals. This continued to my 28th birthday. In his suit pocket, I found a ring box. Thinking he was about to propose to me, I was overjoyed. However, to my horror, I saw him going down on one knee to propose to his assistant, Marcella Hopkins. Right before my eyes, he placed the ring I had yearned for so long on her finger. When one of his buddies asked what he planned to do with me, Jason wrapped his arm around his new love and chuckled. "Dude, I don't think I can bring myself to marry a woman who wants to get married that badly. She's so needy. However, if I do get a second wife, I might consider her. After all, she is hopelessly in love with me." He was sure I would wait for him, and he even placed a bet with his friends that I would crash his wedding. However, on his wedding day, I never showed up. Moments before his wedding ceremony was about to start, he suddenly noticed me, fully dressed up in a wedding gown in a separate banquet hall. Seeing me about to marry someone else, he almost went crazy.

My wife, Lindsey Kelsey, suffers from an aversion to intimacy. For ten years of marriage, she pushed me away again and again. Then, on our anniversary, she abandoned me and, in front of the crowd, kissed another man with reckless passion before the two of them walked hand in hand into a luxury hotel. Afterward, Lindsey brazenly declared that a real man should be magnanimous, not petty. Magnanimous? Then I wish them both eternal bliss—may they be bound so tightly they can never break free from one another. Later, I handed Lindsey the divorce papers with a blank expression. I was determined to walk away from her. But Lindsey went mad when she realized she couldn't find me anymore.

El día más feliz de cualquier mujer suele ser el día de su boda, ¿verdad? Pero este no fue el caso de Pamela Grayson. Sollozó antes, durante y después de la ceremonia. Le resulta difícil comprender por qué sus padres la obligarían a casarse con un hombre en coma que no tiene la más mínima probabilidad de recuperarse. Pero, ¿qué puede hacer ella aparte de aceptarlo? Después de todo, su hermana había seducido a su prometido y estaba embarazada de su hijo. Su dote se iba a utilizar para costear una elaborada boda para su hermana y su supuesto prometido. Pero la parte más trágica de la historia de Pamela fue que el hombre con el que se casó resultó ser aún más despiadado y cruel con ella que su propia familia cuando salió del coma. Él la obligó a interrumpir el embarazo de sus bebés subrogados, se divorció de ella y cortó todo vínculo. Pero el destino hizo que sus caminos se cruzaran de nuevo. Ahora, ella es una princesa, una heredera y la CEO de la corporación más grande del continente: ¿Qué les depara el futuro a ambos y a sus cuatrillizos que Louis Hayden creía que habían sido eliminados? Una historia de destino, giros y misterio...

La noche antes de que mi prometido, Soren, y yo partiéramos hacia el Norte de Europa para comenzar nuestra nueva vida, los sonidos de una animada discusión se filtraron desde su club privado. —Dios mío, jefe, ¿estás loco? ¿Por qué esta alianza matrimonial repentina con la familia Rosetti para hacer una jugada por Italia? ¿No dijiste que dejarías esta vida con Abby y te dirigirías al norte? Soren se reclinó en un sofá de cuero, su voz fue de indiferencia y amortiguada por una nube de humo. —Los planes cambian. Además, recuerda, yo soy el que la hizo quien es. Una vez que vea el nuevo imperio que estoy construyendo, ese pequeño canario volverá volando a mi jaula. Esa mujer no puede vivir sin mí. Me quedé en las sombras del club, con una copa de vino en la mano, y un dolor fuerte floreciendo en mi pecho. El regalo de aniversario que había elegido con tanto cuidado para Soren todavía estaba en mi bolso, esperando a que se lo diera. Salí del club lleno de humo, tiré el regalo al cubo de basura más cercano y reservé un billete de ida al Norte de Europa. Pero lo que él no sabía era que, justo como él podía traicionar nuestro futuro por Mónica, yo podía abandonarlo por el mío. Todos esos años que pasamos bailando con la muerte nunca fueron sólo por ella.
