"Before anything, before you allow your inner thoughts to go on an overdrive, know that I love you. I love you so fucking much and I don't care who you currently are, Serena or Rosalia doesn't matter to me, it's just a name. But what I do know is that you are mine and under no circumstances would I do anything to hurt you" ** Rosalia had thought her biggest problem was how to secure a new job after losing her current one, and avoiding the ex convict who seemed to be out to get her. But she wasn't prepared for the sudden intrusion of a certain man who claimed to be her husband! Husband? She didn't even know him!. Worst of all, they already had a daughter who looked exactly like her! Rosalia was thrown into a state of confusion where everything seemed to belong to her but not at the same time. She was determined to find out what had happened to her in the past and how to fix the present which seemed already damaged.

Descubrieron a mi prometido con mi propia hermana la misma noche de nuestra fiesta de compromiso… en una bodega privada, cruzando todos los límites. Mi apellido quedó manchado. Mi nombre, arrastrado por el suelo. Y yo… convertida en la burla de toda la mafia de Chicago. Entonces, como salido de la oscuridad, apareció Don Lorenzo Falcone. Frente a todas las familias, sin titubear, me pidió matrimonio. Con una sola jugada, limpió mi honor… y selló una alianza mucho más peligrosa. Durante cuatro años, me trató como a una reina. Intocable. Intensa. Suya. Pero había algo que él no podía darme: un heredero. Una vieja herida lo condenaba. Hasta este año. Gracias al médico de confianza de la familia… quedé embarazada. Y desde ese momento, su atención hacia mí se volvió obsesiva. Devota. Absoluta. Creí que lo tenía todo. Que ese hombre frío y poderoso era mi salvación. Mi refugio. Mi único aliado. Hasta que una noche… escuché lo que nunca debí. —Jefe, Arabella te ama. ¿Cómo pudiste hacerle esto? —dijo su mano derecha, con rabia contenida—. Manipulaste al médico… cambiaste los frascos… la convertiste en la portadora del heredero de los Moretti. ¿Todo porque Isabella no soportaba el dolor? El bebé nacerá en dos meses… ¿qué piensas hacer? Silencio. Y luego… su voz. Helada. Cruel. —Cuando nazca, Isabella se lo llevará. Es la única forma de asegurar su lugar con los Moretti. —¿Y Arabella? —Le diré que el bebé murió. Mi mundo se rompió en ese instante. —Seguirá siendo la señora Falcone —añadió, sin emoción—. Tendrá todo lo que quiera. Así que eso era yo para él. Un medio. Un cuerpo. Un sacrificio. Mi “protector”… siempre perteneció a otra. ¿Ese hijo que crecía dentro de mí, manchado por su mentira? No lo quería. ¿Y ese matrimonio construido sobre traición? Se terminó.

Yo era la princesa de la familia Hillrose. Él era Blair Falcone, Don de la familia Falcone. Una combinación perfecta. Éramos la pareja de poder de la ciudad de New Horizon, la envidia de todos en el bajo mundo. Hasta tres días antes de nuestra boda. En un momento, estábamos perdidos el uno en el otro, su cuerpo moviéndose dentro de mí, sus labios dejando un rastro de fuego sobre mi piel. Al siguiente, él estaba anunciando tranquilamente: —Flora, hay algo que tengo que decirte. Legalmente, ya tengo una esposa. El viejo me casó con ella hace seis años. Es la hija de un hombre que recibió una bala por él. —Si puedes vivir con eso —continuó—, nuestro matrimonio sigue en pie. Tal como estaba planeado. Lo miré, incrédula. —¿Y yo qué? ¿Qué fueron nuestros seis años? Dio una lenta calada a su puro. —Sé de qué va esto. Entonces, ¿qué vas a hacer? Mi mano se movió instintivamente hacia mi vientre. Él no lo sabía. Iba a contarle mi feliz secreto esta noche: estaba embarazada. Pero ahora, no iba a decirle ni una maldita cosa.

R18 Helen Zachary’s life had always been tranquil and quiet, until one fateful windy evening. She was on her way to her boyfriend’s place to surprise him for his birthday when an unexpected event occurred. She found a young man covered in blood on the road. Helen wanted to help him, so she stepped out of her car and approached him, only to discover that it was a trap. He had pretended to be lifeless so as to make her feel pity for him. Helen was battered by the young man that night, and his companion raped her. Anger was the theme of the day, and she pledged to exact vengeance on the young man, known as Steven Alfredo, a Mafia boss.

And if his twin falls for her, will she reciprocate the feelings and abandon her plans to exact revenge on Steven?’ ‘And what happens if Steven also falls for her? Who would Helen choose?

In the sixth year after helping Blake secure his position as Don, I was both his wife and his sharpest blade. Until the day of our daughter's birthday– She was hit by a car arranged by his enemies. As her life hung by a thread, I called him dozens of times. He never answered. However, I heard that he was at a casino, spending lavishly with his first love. In that moment, whatever I felt for Blake died completely. So when he finally returned, carrying the scent of another woman, I pretended not to notice. Blake frowned and tried to explain, "Victoria is still young. The casino isn't safe. I had no choice but to stay with her." I said nothing. I only nodded. However, he suddenly flew into a rage, grabbing me by the throat, his gaze dark. "Helena, our daughter is hurt – do you think I don't care? Do you have to keep this attitude? "And it's just a minor injury. You're the Don's wife. Be more composed. Don't let your jealousy toward Victoria go too far." I let out a cold laugh. He did not know–our daughter was already gone. And neither he nor this family needed to exist in my life anymore.

J'étais une gamine des bas-fonds quand je suis tombée amoureuse de Damon Vitale, le Parrain le plus redouté de Paris. Pendant cinq ans, j'ai été à lui. J'ai encaissé neuf balles pour lui. Il embrassait mes cicatrices pendant que je me vidais de mon sang pour lui. Il me serrait contre lui. Il passait le collier de la reine autour de mon cou. Puis, une fois remise, il me baisait jusqu'à me faire perdre toute notion de moi-même, avec une passion qui donnait l'illusion de l'éternité. Je croyais que nous passerions nos vies ensemble. Je pensais qu'il m'épouserait. Mais lors de notre neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième nuit ensemble, il m'a annoncé qu'il était fiancé. À Bianca, une princesse de la mafia issue d'une famille rivale. J'ai avalé mes larmes. Il s'est contenté de m'attraper par le menton, de souffler la fumée à mon visage et de rire. « Tu n'as quand même pas cru que tu pourrais m'épouser, n'est-ce pas, Nora ? Soyons clairs. On baise. C'est tout. Tu n'es pas une partenaire. Tu es une œuvre d'art que je collectionne. Une chatte qui m'appartient. » Une chatte. C'est tout ce qu'il a jamais voulu que je sois. Alors j'ai attrapé un téléphone jetable. « J'accepte ton offre. Trois jours. Sors-moi de Paris. »

Being forged from the trauma that clings to your soul like an additional layer of sin has an elegance to it. When my father and I buried my sister, falling in love with her first love wasn't on the agenda. Don Alessandro Valentino has something I want. Something he refuses to depart with and no matter how much pain he inflicts upon me, I will never give up. I vowed to never let him win.

As secrets come to light and the truth is exposed, can I surrender the battle and surrender what I've been fighting for all along, without hesitation? --- He tore his lips away from mine, peering down at me, brushing the pad of his thumb along his lower lip—smearing my touch as far as it would travel. “You taste like mine.” He said in a cold and condescending tone. Then he left. He walked out of the wine cellar without a second glance over his shoulder as Riccardo locked the door behind them.
