Do Not Expect Too Much Artinya

Minha família é humana. Recebemos uma vida longa do clã Thorne, algo próximo da imortalidade. Por gerações, fomos seus guardiões mais leais. E eu me apaixonei por Cedric, o lorde vampiro que eu havia jurado proteger. Por cem anos, fui seu segredo, seu pecado, sua única parceira de cama. Eu era seu escudo contra a magia negra, a protetora jurada de seu vasto clã. Achei que ganharia a marca de um vínculo eterno. Eu estava pronta para ele me transformar. Afinal, a cada lua de sangue, ele reivindicava meu corpo. Então, no auge de um prazer agonizante, ele afundava as presas no meu pescoço e bebia meu sangue. Ele pressionava os lábios frios contra minha pele e sussurrava que eu era sua única, que nenhum outro sangue, nenhum outro corpo poderia fazê-lo perder o controle daquele jeito. Mas, desta vez, no momento em que terminou, ele anunciou um vínculo eterno com Elsie, a princesa de sangue puro do clã Valerius. Ele sorriu com desdém ao ver o choque em meu rosto. "Você é apenas uma humana, agraciada com uma vida longa por meus ancestrais, que aquece minha cama. Você não achou mesmo que poderia ser minha companheira, achou?" Naquele momento, entendi. Eu era apenas uma bolsa de sangue renovável. Uma ferramenta com um propósito. Por uma aliança, por ela, ele me sacrificou. Ele me lançou no abismo e deixou a escuridão me engolir por completo. Ele achou que o Pacto do Guardião me manteria presa a ele por toda a eternidade, mas esqueceu de uma coisa. Todo pacto tem uma brecha. Então, destruí tudo o que ele já tinha me dado. Depois, com a ajuda da minha família, desapareci. Mas, quando o Lorde da Noite Eterna não conseguiu encontrar seu brinquedo favorito… enlouqueceu.

No concurso de poções, minha irmã adotiva, Célia, tornou-se famosa graças à poção que roubou de mim. Eu jamais poderia imaginar que aquela competição serviria para escolher a esposa do jovem senhor da Tribo Serpente, um homem cruel, feio e naturalmente estéril. Naquela mesma noite, a Tribo Serpente enviou uma carta de casamento, exigindo que a criadora da poção se tornasse esposa do jovem senhor. Ao saber disso, meu noivo entrou em pânico e imediatamente consumou o Pacto de Almas com Célia. Depois de consumado o ato, Célia veio, rebolando a cintura, exibir para mim o Pacto em forma de Lobo em suas costas. — Agora o seu noivo é meu, irmãzinha. E agora, o que você vai fazer? Faltam só três dias para você completar vinte e cinco anos. Se ninguém se casar com você, será sorteada para aqueles Bestiais mais velhos e violentos, que batem nas esposas! Ela se enganou. Eu ainda tinha outra escolha. Procurei meus pais, que estavam na sala tentando resolver as confusões deixadas por Célia. — Se ela não vai se casar com o jovem senhor da Tribo Serpente, eu me caso!

Five years ago, I left my husband a note. Three sentences. A returned bracelet. A door closing softly at 4am. He told me to get rid of our baby. I got rid of him instead. Now he’s sitting across my boardroom table in the city I built for myself, looking for the woman he married. She’s gone. What’s left is stronger.

“You said I was a burden. You signed the papers and walked out. So why are you standing at my door with flowers, Justin? The woman you abandoned doesn't live here anymore." Harper Wells had a husband who called her a burden, a boss who called her replaceable, and a body that was slowly giving up on her. She had nothing left. So she disappeared. What came back was something neither Justin nor Vivian saw coming. Healthy. Powerful. Untouchable. And completely done. But the man who never stopped fighting for her, who sat in hospital corridors at midnight and called research institutes because waiting until morning felt wrong, Dr. Joel, is still there. Still steady. Still choosing her. Now Justin wants her back. Vivian wants her gone. And Harper Wells just wants to finally choose herself.

Grace was the perfect wife for three years, enduring Sebastien Montgomery’s contempt and the humiliations inflicted by his family. He treated her like a shadow, convinced that she had “trapped” him while he remained obsessed with the glamorous Katerina. The night Grace discovered she was pregnant, Sebastien threw the divorce papers at her: “Katerina is back. I don’t need you anymore.” He thought she would sink into misery. He didn’t know that Grace was the long-lost heiress to a billion-dollar empire. Two years later, the hunter becomes the hunted. Sebastien, on the brink of bankruptcy, desperately seeks an anonymous investor to save his company. When the office doors open, he doesn’t find the submissive girl he left behind. He finds a powerful, radiant woman. But she isn’t alone. Dominic Rossi, Sebastien’s most ruthless rival and the man who now controls the market, wraps his arm possessively around Grace’s waist. An adorable little boy runs toward him shouting, “Daddy, look at my new car!” Sebastien feels the world crashing down on him as he recognizes his own eyes in the little boy. On his knees, his voice breaking, he pleads: “Grace, please… he’s my son. Let me fix this.” Dominic looks at him with icy contempt as Grace signs the purchase order: “You’re too late, Montgomery. The boy already has a real father… and I already own your empire.”

On my wedding day, my fiancé bailed. Sabina—his ex—had sent him a diary listing 77 things she'd done for him. Turns out she only dumped him because his family pushed her to. So, he ran back to her. While I was still reeling, Jacob—my fiancé's best friend—showed up. He got down on one knee, flashed a ring he'd clearly had ready, and said, "Yuna Auclair, I've liked you for a long time. Will you marry me?" I thought he was my person. But after the wedding, Jacob turned distant. Hot one second, ice-cold the next. Then I found a diary in his study. Just like the one Sabina had sent my ex. Page one hit like a truck: [Hurt Yuna Auclair seventy-seven times, and I'll break up with Gabriel and be with you.] Oh—and Gabriel? He was my ex.

Eu estava grávida de oito meses e participava de um baile de caridade com meu marido, o Don Massimo, quando uma família rival nos atacou. A multidão entrou em pânico. Fui empurrada ao chão com violência. Havia sangue por toda parte. Massimo perdeu o controle, gritando por médicos, desesperado para salvar meu bebê. Mas, quando acordei, eles tinham desaparecido. Ambos. Sem bebê, sem Massimo. Lembrei-me dos tiros, de Massimo me protegendo com o próprio corpo. Um pavor gelado tomou conta de mim. Arrastei-me até uma cadeira de rodas e corri pelo corredor. Foi quando os ouvi — Massimo e o médico. — Don, sinto muito. Fizemos tudo o que pudemos. O bebê… ele não sobreviveu. Lágrimas escorriam pelo meu rosto. Eles mataram meu bebê. A família rival matou meu bebê. Mas as palavras seguintes dele destruíram meu mundo. — Havia apenas uma equipe médica. Eu tive que fazer uma escolha. Bianca… ela também estava carregando meu filho. Massimo suspirou e então deu a ordem: — Ninguém conte a Arabella. Ela vai criar o filho de Bianca como se fosse dela. Ele será meu único herdeiro. Tapei a boca com a mão, minha visão embaçada pelas lágrimas enquanto me virava. O homem que eu amava era uma mentira. Tudo bem. Se ele quer uma guerra, ele vai ter uma.

Jayda Marlowe gave up the only thing she ever loved—racing—for a man she believed would choose her forever. But he didn’t. When Antonio Moretti asked for a divorce, she didn’t beg. She didn’t fight. She just walked away… and never told him she was already running out of time. Now, with only months left, Jayda returns to the track and the boardroom, determined to build something that will outlive her. Strong. Untouchable. Unreachable. Or so she makes the world believe. Antonio thought losing her would be easy. But it wasn’t. Because the woman he let go is no longer the one who loved him quietly—she’s colder, sharper, and completely out of his reach. Now he wants her back. But how do you win back a woman who is already preparing to disappear?
