Espaço Exterior

Esperei por três horas na festa de aniversário do meu namorado, Dário Montenegro. Ele deveria ser o centro das atenções, chegar com elegância, de mãos dadas comigo. Mas não. Foi a “eterna paixão” dele, Evelina Fernandes, quem ligou — dizendo que torceu o tornozelo — e o chamou direto pro hospital. Lá, ela gravou um vídeo deles se beijando. Na cena, Dário, que sempre disse estar com as pernas paralisadas, se levanta, empurra Evelina contra a porta e se entrega ao momento. — Dário, por que você nunca contou pra Lívia que suas pernas já estavam boas? E ele, com a voz mansa e melada: — Se ela souber, vai insistir pra eu casar com ela. Lívia Vale? Ela não é nada. Só uma babá grátis. E acha que merece virar minha esposa? Logo depois, ele e Evelina continuam se beijando com força. Ela veste o vestido de noiva que eu mesma desenhei… e encara a câmera com provocação. O vídeo termina ao som dos beijos. Ele me enganou o tempo todo. Joguei fora o bolo que tinha feito pra ele com tanto carinho. Mandei uma mensagem pra minha mãe: “Oi, mãe. Tá bom. Eu aceito ir no encontro que você marcou.”

Don Matteo DiCarlo is a ruthless mafia lord, feared across the city for his power and cold heart. When a wealthy businessman, Richard Thornton, defaults on a large loan, Matteo is dispatched to collect the debt. Upon arriving at Thornton’s mansion, Matteo is met with the grim realization that the once-wealthy tycoon is now nothing more than a broke fool, living far beyond his means by borrowing money from the wrong people. Desperate to save face, Richard offers his most precious asset—his daughter, Isabella—as payment. Matteo is initially repulsed by the idea. Isabella is soft, delicate, and far too weak for someone like him. She's the very picture of vulnerability, and Matteo has no patience for weakness. However, as the days pass and Matteo spends more time in her presence, he finds himself drawn to her in ways he can’t explain. Isabella, though fragile in appearance, hides a fierce resilience beneath her gentle exterior. The more Matteo tries to keep his distance, the more he’s tempted by the soft touch of her skin, the innocence in her eyes, and the way she challenges his cold exterior without even trying. As their relationship heats up, Matteo must battle his growing attraction to the woman he initially deemed unworthy. But Isabella has her own secrets and desires, and the line between debt and desire begins to blur as their chemistry intensifies, testing both their limits. In a world of power, corruption, and deceit, will Matteo be able to claim what is his without losing himself in the process? Or will Isabella be the one to change the Don’s heart forever?

Era meu aniversário. Eu achei que ele fosse me levar à praia para ver os fogos de artifício, mas ele levou outra mulher e a filha dela. — A Bruna tem uma filha, não é fácil para ela. Seja compreensível. Ela não conhece o caminho e tem muita bagagem. Vou levá-las ao hotel primeiro. — Ele falou isso com a maior leveza, como se estivesse explicando algo trivial. Era justamente essa leveza que fazia até mesmo a minha raiva parecer exagerada. Ele colocou as duas no carro, colocou pessoalmente o cinto de segurança da criança e, sorrindo para mim, disse: — Eu já volto, não fica imaginando coisa. Fiquei parada à beira da estrada, vendo eles partirem como se fossem uma família de verdade. A noite caiu, e a brisa do mar estava gelada. Eu ainda estava esperando, até que um vídeo da Bruna apareceu na minha tela. Ele estava abraçando a filha dela, na praia, assistindo à queima de fogos. Aquela cena era a surpresa que eu mesma tinha preparado para o meu aniversário. Nos comentários, só tinha: [São perfeitos juntos, uma família tão feliz] Alguém perguntou por que ele não tinha ido me buscar. Ele sorriu e respondeu: [A Camila tem bom temperamento, ela não vai se irritar] Naquele instante, meu bolo virou uma poça de glacê derretido. No fundo, ele nunca foi verdadeiramente cruel, ele só me tinha por garantida, como se eu o fosse esperar para sempre. Mas ser ignorada com delicadeza por tanto tempo esfriou meu coração. As ondas quebravam na costa, uma após a outra, e com elas se quebravam também as minhas últimas ilusões. Desta vez, eu não vou mais esperar ele voltar.

"Why do you hate me so much?" Amara asked, her voice shaking. "I've never done anything to you." Where power, passion, and painful memories collide, Amara Denz never imagined the same man who made her life a living hell at Lyons College would be her ruthless, charismatic boss. Now CEO of a thriving tech empire, CEO Leo reigns with cool efficiency—but beneath his shining exterior blazes an undeniable, forbidden desire for the very woman he once tormented. Amara Denz is desperate. Desperate to find employment to pay for the mounting bills, desperate to bury the pain of her abused past, and desperate to preserve her shattered pride in a company where every glance from Leo sends unspoken tension her way.

Set against the high-stakes halls of Baze, this scorching dual-perspective story of redemption and revenge tracks two individuals whose entwined destinies compel them to confront a past defined by brutality—and a present filled with desire. Can Leo demonstrate that he's reformed, or will the wounds of their past continue to keep them apart? And will Amara's need to transcend her past enable her to gamble everything on a second chance at love?

Na minha vida passada, Gabriel Lacerda, meu irmão, escolheu acompanhar a amante Camila Soares para ver uma chuva de meteoros. Levou consigo todos os seguranças da casa, deixando-nos completamente vulneráveis. Naquela noite, inimigos que ele mesmo havia destruído aproveitaram a oportunidade e invadiram nossa mansão para se vingar. Minha mãe foi gravemente ferida tentando me proteger. Liguei para ele, desesperada, implorando que voltasse. Ele retornou com os seguranças, mas já era tarde demais. Embora os invasores tenham sido capturados, uma nova tragédia aconteceu: Camila havia desaparecido e deixou uma carta de suicídio. Na carta, ela me acusava de usar a situação para afastar Gabriel dela e de deixar ela sozinha, exposta à vingança dos inimigos. Gabriel queimou a carta bem na minha frente. Sem raiva, sem dor. Apenas disse: — Esquece isso. Não vale a pena. Apesar de tudo, ele foi responsabilizado. Meu pai me confiou o controle da empresa da família. Mas naquela mesma noite, durante a festa de comemoração, Gabriel entrou no meu quarto e me matou. Com o olhar frio, ele disse: — Pessoas como você já deviam estar mortas. A herança é minha por direito. Morri sem paz. E quando abri os olhos novamente… O som dos inimigos arrombando os portões ecoava do lado de fora da mansão.

When frustrations over her joblessness lead Stella to reluctantly heed her best friend Lyra's urging for a night of reckless abandon at the club, she never expected to surrender her virginity to a skilled stranger's seduction. However, the next morning's twist of fate leaves her stunned - Stella has been hired as a caretaker for the reclusive yet ruggedly handsome billionaire Mr. Lockwood, who is an uncanny doppelganger of the very man who stripped her of innocence just hours before. Though Mr. Lockwood's wheelchair-bound state seems to defy the passionate lover she knew, Stella must unravel the possibilities and darker secrets surrounding his true identity. Is this wealthy enigma truly the sultry stranger she knew so intimately, or are sinister truths lurking beneath his charming exterior? Can Stella resist the growing obsession that threatens to consume her with every encounter? What twisted games is Mr. Lockwood playing, and how far is he willing to go to possess her utterly? *** As if on autopilot and lost in thought, I knelt before Adrian. My hands moved instinctively to remove his clothes, fulfilling my role as his caretaker. Before fully registering my actions, I had already pulled down Adrian's boxers. My eyes widened as I unexpectedly found myself face to face with Adrian's very sturdy c*ck dangling before my very eyes. With a hint of fascination, I audibly gulped, the sound resonating in the quiet space as I blushed unable to tear my gaze away. "Well damn,"

Six years ago, she saved his life. And for six years he had searched desperately for her, but it was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth. Just as he was about to suspect that it was all a dream, she unexpectedly walked up to him and said, "I am Andrea Aguero, your fiancée." *** Andrea Aguero, the world-famous mysterious doctor, went on a journey alone, carrying a souvenir, to fulfill her grandmother's last wish by finding her arranged fiancé. Deep down, she secretly hoped the man would reject her. But when she actually meets him, things get out of hand! *** Andrea swallowed and looked up at Sebastian, then asked, "Mr. Munoz? Will you marry me?" She was still anticipating the man's rejection. "What if I'm not interested?" Inwardly ecstatic, Andrea managed to maintain a calm exterior and said, "That is my grandmother's intention, but if you are not willing, I will not force you to marry me.I will return the pendant to you and the marriage contract will be null and void." The words were spoken with great politeness - excellent, mission accomplished! But suddenly Sebastian moved closer to her, a small smile playing on his lips. "But... my family is extremely strict about integrity, and since my grandfather has already made this deal, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse, and my refusal would make it appear that my family doesn't keep its word." This statement immediately put Andrea on high alert, her eyebrows furrowing as she asked, "So..." "So...let's get married." Sebastian dropped a bomb in a quiet tone. How could that be!
