Elena Gilbert Smile

His blood is still on my hands when he presses me to the wall. He's not kissing me yet, just his breath at my throat and his fingers tugging the waistband of my scrubs like he owns what’s under them. "I kill for you, doctor," he growls, voice thick with threat and worship. "The least you can do is stop pretending you don’t like it." I should run, instead, I tilt my chin—and dare him to try. Dr. Elena Vance never meant to save a mafia king. One moment, she’s leaving a trauma shift. The next, she’s elbow-deep in blood, patching up a man with a gun under his belt and death in his eyes. That man is Dante Volkov. Russia’s most wanted heir. New York’s rising Pakhan. And now? Elena’s captor. His offer is simple: Marry him or disappear forever. She bargains for three months.Three months to resist the Bratva’s crown prince. Three months to prove she’s no one’s possession. But Dante doesn’t play fair. He wages war with his hands, his mouth, his voice—claiming Elena in every room, every breath, every ruined rule. And as old enemies rise and family blood spills, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: Elena isn’t just married to the mob. She’s becoming one of them.

But upon finding the truth about everything she thought she knew – she found herself in the face of disdain. Would there ever truly be enough answers to her questions? Will she accept the truth? Or will she be the destroyer of worlds? -- **She suddenly sat up, her light blue hair swaying on her back. "But hey, at least you could always ask me if you want some kind of space or something." She looks at me with the brightest smile pasted on her face. A smile slowly formed on my face as I looked at her. Her smile was like this infectious thing that would brighten the whole room. I sat up and glanced down on the mirrored ground - I could see my own reflection. Blonde hair, red eyes looking right straight at me, a smile. But the smile was almost evil in the reflection. I closed my eyes, the smile that found its way on my face disappeared. "Don't stop smiling." I look up to see Lyv gazing at me softly, observing me. "You look beautiful when you smile."**

But as much as I loved him, there were cracks in our perfect marriage. Damien didn’t want children. He’d been clear about it from the start, even though I had always dreamed of being a mother. He’d smile that charming smile of his and say, “Pups will tie us down, my love. You’re so beautiful and vibrant and pregnancy would change that. I want you to stay just as you are.”

"Elena, why are you hiding from me? (Elena, kenapa kau menghindar dariku?)" "You know why ... I'm married, i have kids. And you're such a bad influence on me. (Kau tau kenapa ... Aku sudah menikah dan mempunyai anak-anak. Lagipula kau membawa pengaruh buruk buatku" "You have married too seven years ago but you still want to meet me. We're even ... (Kau pun sudah menikah tujuh tahun lalu tapi kau masih bersedia menemuiku. Bahkan kita ..." "Stop it. It's a big mistake!!! (Hentikan. Dulu itu kesalahan besar!!!)" "Calm down, Elena ... i'm here not to argue. I miss you ... (Tenanglah, Elena ... Aku di sini bukan untuk berdebat. Aku rindu padamu ..." Elena hampir terisak, mukanya memerah matanya berair napasnya tersengal. Ia ingin segera berlalu dari momen ini. "I am not the same person. I have changed. And I am fully happy for I am now. Don't ruin my happiness. I want you to stay away from my life ... please ... (Aku bukanlah orang yang sama. Aku sudah berubah. Dan aku sangat bahagia dengan keadaanku sekarang. Jangan mengusik kebahagiaanku. Menjauhlah dari kehidupanku ... Aku mohon ....)" "I'll wait ... (Aku akan menunggu ...)" "Don't wait. You have to move on. Get married, have a bunch of kids like you want it. Be happy ... (Jangan menunggu. Kau harus melanjutkan hidupmu. Menikahkah. Miliki banyak anak seperti yang kau mau. Berbahagialah ...)" "I can't find someone like you. (Aku tidak bisa menemukan penggantimu.)"

"I only asked you for a favor, and this is what you pay me back with?" Asher stared right into my eyes, his voice dripping with venom. My hand trembled, my heart aching as I stared back at his face. "I didn’t do it, Asher… Please believe me. I swear on anything—I didn’t do it," I sniffed, tears rolling down my cheeks. "Take her out," Asher roared, and just like that. Every hope I had was shattered. ~~~~~~~ Elena knew exactly what she was walking into when she said yes to a man who never loved her. She knew his heart belonged to Vienna, her sister. But all Elena wanted was a chance. Just a sliver of space in his heart. What she didn’t expect was Vienna’s return to come with a vicious accusation. One Asher never questioned. He didn’t ask. He didn’t look back. He shoved Elena into the deepest hole, cast her aside like she was nothing. And when he returned weeks later to her, it wasn’t with an apology. It was with a deal. A second chance—for a crime she never even committed. Elena carried the weight of betrayal, humiliation, and pain. She went ahead to give them everything, just to be free. And when they were done with her, they discarded her like trash. But she picked up her pieces. She wiped her tears. And she made herself a promise— What they did to her would never define her. Years later, Elena walks back into their world. Not as the quiet, desperate girl they once used and discarded, but as a woman whose name now echoes power. And just when they think they’ve seen it all—Secrets begin to unravel. The kind of secrets that leaves even the cruelest speechless.

Elena entscheidet – und diesmal spielt sie nur nach ihren eigenen Regeln.
