Don't Rush Artinya

My adopted daughter, Phoebe Marsh, possessed an evil ability. Whenever she got hurt, the pain would also be inflicted directly on my biological daughter, Maisie Shaw. She deliberately hurt herself, covering her body with wounds and bruises. Then, she would turn around with cold eyes, watching Maisie writhe on the floor in agony until she passed out from the pain. With no medical solution available, I broke down and held Maisie close, begging my husband, Brandon Shaw, to send Phoebe away. However, he would erupt in fury. "It's obviously Maisie who's been faking illness for attention, and you're making up this ridiculous story to get rid of Phoebe. She's just a fragile, helpless child. How can you be so vicious?" After that, Phoebe escalated her self-harm even more viciously. Meanwhile, Maisie spent every day curled up in the corner of her bed, refusing to let anyone touch her. On Maisie's birthday, Phoebe threw herself from the fifth floor. Just as Maisie was blowing out her candles and making a wish, she suddenly began bleeding from all her facial orifices, and she died instantly. Yet, Phoebe only suffered minor scrapes. I died from overwhelming grief shortly after. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to Phoebe's first day in our home. Maisie was playing with her Legos when she suddenly clutched her ankle and started crying. This time, I grabbed the broom from behind the door and swung it toward Maisie, shouting, "I'll beat you up for faking illness and seeking attention!"

The stranger moved closer, closing the space between him and Anna. His hand came up, gripping her jaw and tilting her face so she had no choice but to meet his gaze. “Are you sure about this?” he asked. Anna swallowed hard, her pulse racing. “Yes,” she breathed. “I want you to fuck me so hard I forget about my dickhead of a fiancé.” **************** Anna Hawkins was never supposed to fall into the arms of a stranger. But after walking in on her fiancé having sex with her best friend, pain drove her into the dark corners of a nightclub and straight into the arms of a man with cold eyes, inked skin, and a body that could ruin her. Their night was supposed to mean nothing. But unforeseen circumstances throw Anna into a brutal world of betrayal, power, crime, and possession. She wasn’t just heartbroken anymore. She was owned. And the most dangerous part? She didn’t know how to escape from her cruel fate.

Je suis revenue à la vie, la veille de mon mariage. La première chose que j'ai faite ? J’ai échangé mon futur mari avec celui de ma sœur. La dernière fois, j'avais épousé Julian, un magnat de la technologie au tempérament doux. Il n'avait pas supporté mon caractère fougueux, et moi, je ne supportais pas sa mollesse. Notre mariage avait sombré en moins d'un an. Ma sœur, douce et timide, devait épouser Robin Kane dans le cadre d’un mariage arrangé, le Don de la plus grande famille criminelle de New York. Elle ne supportait pas cette vie brutale et chaotique. Tourmentée par Isabella, la prétendue amoureuse d'enfance de Robin, elle était tombée dans une profonde dépression et en était morte. Alors, quand je suis revenue, j'ai pris une décision : ce serait moi qui épouserais le Don. Mais je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'après le mariage, le Don froid et impassible devienne un homme totalement différent. Chaque nuit, il était au-dessus de moi, m'embrassant comme s'il était obsédé, murmurant : « Ma belle… je vais te faire du bien. Encore une fois… juste une de plus, bébé ? »

Ich war fünf Jahre lang mit Matteo verheiratet – dem Don der Familie Lamberti. Niemand wusste, dass ich seine Frau war. Ich wollte weder Privilegien noch Aufmerksamkeit und blieb deshalb im Verborgenen. Wir waren verliebt. Jeden Tag fühlte es sich an wie am Anfang. Dann zerstörte mein erster Tag im neuen Krankenhaus alles. „Frau Accardi, das glauben Sie nie.“ Eine Kollegin beugte sich zu mir, breit grinsend. „Raten Sie mal, wer der Ehemann der neuen Patientin ist? Matteo Lamberti höchstpersönlich.“ Ich erstarrte. Wenn sie seine Frau war – wer war dann ich? Sie war schwanger. Sie trug den künftigen Lamberti-Erben. Was machte das dann aus dem Baby in mir? Ich hielt die Fassade aufrecht. Ich führte die Untersuchung durch und spielte die ruhige, kompetente Ärztin. Niemand bemerkte die Panik, die an mir zerrte. Ich redete mir ein, dass es nur Klatsch war. Nichts als Lügen. Es musste so sein. Dann hörte ich, wie Matteo sie „meine Prinzessin“ nannte. Das war es. Er hatte eine neue Prinzessin. Und ich musste ihn loslassen.

Eu estava casada havia cinco anos com Matteo, o Don da família Lamberti. Ninguém sabia que eu era sua esposa. Eu não queria os privilégios. Nem os holofotes. Então permaneci invisível. Nós estávamos apaixonados. Ainda parecia que estávamos namorando todos os dias. Então meu primeiro dia no novo hospital destruiu tudo. — Dra. Accardi, você não vai acreditar nisso. — Uma colega se inclinou, sorrindo. — Adivinha quem é o marido daquela nova paciente? Matteo, o maldito Matteo Lamberti. Eu congelei. Se ela era a esposa dele… então quem era eu? Ela estava grávida. Carregando o futuro herdeiro da família Lamberti. Então o que isso fazia do bebê dentro de mim? Eu me controlei. Fiz o exame. Interpretei o papel da médica calma e competente. Ninguém viu o pânico me dilacerando por dentro. Eu disse a mim mesma que era apenas fofoca. Mentiras. Tinha que ser. Então ouvi Matteo chamá-la de "minha princesa". Aquilo foi o fim. Ele tinha uma nova "princesa". E eu precisava deixá-lo ir.

I’m the best art forger and intel specialist in Chicago. And I fell for the man who owned it all, Don Vincenzo Russo. For ten years, I was his secret, his weapon, and his woman. I built his empire from the shadows. I thought I’d get a ring. After all, every night he was in this city, he was buried inside me, taking his pleasure. He’d whisper that I was his, that no one else felt this good. But this time, after he was finished with me, he announced he was marrying the Russian Bratva princess, Katerina Petrov. That’s when I knew. I wasn’t his woman. I was just a body. For an alliance, for her, he sacrificed me. He left me to die. So I destroyed every piece of the life he gave me. I made one call to my father in Italy. And then, I vanished. But when the Don who owned Chicago couldn't find his favorite toy… he went insane.

En nuestro séptimo aniversario de bodas, estaba montada sobre las piernas de mi esposo, Lucian, el Don de la mafia, besándolo con pasión. Mis dedos hurgaban con disimulo en el bolsillo de mi costoso vestido de seda, buscando la prueba de embarazo que había escondido ahí. Quería guardarme la noticia inesperada para el final de la noche. La mano derecha de Lucian, Marco, preguntó con una sonrisa sugerente en italiano: —Don… ¿qué tal su nuevo secretito? La risa burlona de Lucian vibró en mi pecho y sentí cómo se me revolvía el estómago. Respondió, también en italiano: —Como un durazno verde. Fresco y tierno. Su mano todavía acariciaba mi cintura, pero tenía la mirada perdida. —Que esto quede entre nosotros. Si mi Donna se entera, me mata. Sus hombres rieron con complicidad, alzando sus copas y jurando guardar el secreto. El calor que sentía en el cuerpo se me fue extinguiendo. Lo que ellos no sabían es que mi abuela era de Sicilia, así que entendí cada una de sus palabras. Me obligué a mantener la calma, con la sonrisa perfecta de una matriarca, pero la mano con la que sostenía la copa de champaña me temblaba. En lugar de hacer una escena, tomé el celular, busqué la invitación que había recibido hacía unos días para un proyecto privado de investigación médica internacional y acepté. En tres días, iba a desaparecer del mundo de Lucian.
