El Filibusterismo Design

Book Two of the Dark Moon Series. Beta Jackson Anderson lives for his pack and family. They mean everything to him, but there is still a part of him that longs for his mate and feels unfulfilled each year that passes without finding her. He is definitely surprised when he finds her for two reasons. One, she is not a shifter. Two, she is running for her life. Imeela Precoza has been on the run for the past ten years because she escaped the massacre of her coven, the royal coven of the vampire world. Countless bounty hunters come after her, forcing her to either evade them or kill them before they kill her. She becomes a master of hiding, especially with the use of her abilities, but she wonders if this is how her life will always be – running, escaping, and surviving while being utterly alone in this world. Fate presents the perfect opportunity that will cause these mates' paths to converge. A man who wants nothing more than to protect and care for his mate, and a woman who is terrified of anyone else getting hurt because of her. It is the design of fate that takes everyone by surprise. Secrets from the past will come to light, showing the truth about why Imeela's coven was slaughtered in the first place. What does this have to do with the prophecy foretold in Book One regarding Brynn's destiny to slay a vile evil? Imeela is tired or running and decides it is time to fight back against a tyrant who has destroyed too much in her life. She is not alone any longer and has the help of a multitude of powerful individuals. Can Imeela and Jackson overcome the adversities in their path?

Isabel Mays has spent her whole life being the daughter nobody mentioned, the girl they hid behind closed doors while her sister wore the gold and her mother wore the smiles. She survived by being brilliant in silence, building a cure for epilepsy inside a hospital that felt more like home than anywhere her family ever lived. Then Aiden Black walked into her lab at two in the morning and changed everything. He his Cold, commanding, and dangerous in the way only a man with nothing left to lose can be. He didn't ask for her help, he told her she was going to give it. His brother was dying, and Isabel was the only person alive who could save him. She said yes for all the wrong reasons and climbed into his car before she could talk herself out of it. She had no idea she had just walked into the middle of a war, because Aiden Black didn't just want her cure. He wanted to destroy her biological father, the same man whose blood runs through her veins, the same man whose secrets buried her mother, silenced her past and put a target on her back long before she ever knew his name, and the worst part? Aiden knew exactly who she was before he ever set foot in that lab. Two people with one revenge, and a love neither of them planned for, built on top of the most beautiful lies either of them has ever told. The question is not whether they will fall. The question is what will be left standing when the truth finally hits the ground.

When rising interior designer Valeria Mendoza took a job as an executive assistant at Herrera & Sons, the last thing she expected was to accidentally marry her cold, infuriatingly handsome boss. After a chaotic mix-up with legal paperwork during a corporate event, Valeria finds herself legally bound to Alejandro Herrera, the guarded CEO who doesn’t believe in love but desperately needs a wife to close a multimillion-dollar deal. What starts as a reluctant agreement to "keep up appearances" quickly turns into a tangled web of stolen glances, sizzling tension, and midnight confessions. As the lines blur between fake and real, Valeria must hide the biggest secret of all — her true identity as the daughter of a billionaire family she left behind. But in a world where business and love don’t mix, what happens when the truth comes out? Will Alejandro see her as a liar... or the woman he’s been designing a future with all along?

After my parents died in a car crash, my cousin stole the compensation money and moved overseas to start a business. My aunt begged me on her knees not to call the police. Then, she locked me in a dark basement for three months. I was close to breaking down and ending my life when Julien Lawson, the neighbor’s son, broke down the basement door and saved me. “Joyce, what they did is unforgivable! They stole the compensation money for your parents’ deaths. You were going to use it to open your own studio! “Marry me. I’ll protect you.” He was the only person who cared about me after my parents died. I was so grateful that I married him and had his child. I worked three jobs during the day to help support the orphanage that Julien ran. At night, I took care of our child and created design sketches. But no matter how hard I tried, none of my work was ever accepted. Even though Julien told me to keep at it, I felt discouraged and thought of giving up on my design career to focus on our family. One day, our child was sick. I went to take over the shift from Julien when I overheard him talking to my aunt on the stairs. “Julien, it’s been ten years. Joyce’s designs are getting better and better. She even passed the first round of the national competition. Are you really not going to tell her about the next round?” my aunt asked. Her voice trembled. Julien said coldly, “For years, I’ve been sending Joyce’s design sketches to Mindy to copy and enter in the competitions or publish as her own. “To help Mindy’s career, I can’t let Joyce move on to the next round. “Joyce has talent. If people notice her, she’ll be a threat to Mindy’s career!”

She was a package and he was the devil. And the devil always deliver.  Hired to deliver a package within a week, he was up to the task but he never expected unforeseen circumstances to delay his efficiency in his work. Vowed to live up to his reputation, he was ready to go through anything to see that he delivers but what would happen when he started getting close to the package? Or the fact that he started going beyond his belief wondering what would become of her when he let's her out of his sight? This was wrong, he is El Diablo, he has no heart, no emotion. He doesn't feel, he is not compassionate. What he does is accept jobs, deliver and gets paid and if you cross him? He doesn't hesitate to put a bullet straight to the head.  His name is feared all around, he is neat, he is never crossed, even his employers fear him. Parents tell his story to scare children and the ground shake at the very mention of his name. He is El Diablo and no one challenges him, no one except her that kept defying his orders.

Lucas Solís y yo éramos conocidos en la capital como la pareja más conflictiva. Él me despreciaba por considerarme una mujer sin escrúpulos que lo había obligado a casarse conmigo a toda costa. Yo lo odiaba porque cada noche le guardaba fidelidad a Claudia, mientras que a mí me trataba con una frialdad glacial. Durante ocho años de matrimonio, lo que más me decía fue que me fuera. Cuando llegó la inundación, Lucas, que siempre me había dirigido palabras crueles, me cedió el último lugar en el bote salvavidas. Me gritó: —¡No mires atrás, vete rápido! Elisa, ya no te debo nada. En la próxima vida, solo quiero estar con Claudia. Intenté salvarlo, pero me sujetaron con fuerza. Finalmente, solo pude ver cómo las aguas se lo tragaban. El equipo de rescate llegó tarde. Su cuerpo, ya hinchado y descompuesto por el agua, aún apretaba con fuerza el amuleto de Claudia, imposible de soltar. Más tarde, vendí todas mis propiedades para donarlas a la zona afectada y salté al vacío para seguirlo a la tumba. Al abrir los ojos, me encontré de vuelta en la noche en que drogaron a Lucas.

Él sabía engañar y mentir, y ella también. El día que obtuvo el divorcio, Natalia se convirtió en tendencia por las críticas. Ella aprovechó la situación y ganó notoriedad.

En mi sexto mes de embarazo, mi hermana menor, Clara Soto, sufrió un accidente de tráfico. Debido a la pérdida de sangre, requirió con urgencia un donante compatible. Y, según los exámenes, yo era la única que podía salvarle la vida. Sin embargo, debido a que durante los últimos meses de embarazo había perdido peso, me recomendaron no donar. Aun así, mi familia me obligó. Por lo que, sin fuerzas para oponerme, esperé que mi esposo me ayudara a salir de esa situación. No obstante, se quedó a un lado con los brazos cruzados, diciendo: —Estás bien de salud. Donar sangre no te afectará en nada. Clara tendrá un futuro brillante, no voy a permitir que lo destruyas. Después de la donación, me desmayé. Y, cuando desperté, supe que algo dentro de mí se había roto. Por lo que, sin decir ni una palabra, lo primero que hice fue agendar un aborto.
