Fogo-fátuo: Albucacys

Durante mi recuperación después del parto, mi esposo, Rubén Gutiérrez, llegó a la casa tambaleándose, borracho perdido. Venía con varios que lo sostenían... y con una mujer. Terminó vomitando por toda la sala, y yo, sin decir una sola palabra, me quedé a su lado cuidándolo toda la noche. Jamás imaginé que, al amanecer, lo primero que saliera de su boca fuera: —Está embarazada. Mejor nos divorciamos. No lloré, no grité. Solo asentí con calma. En otra vida, recuerdo haber corrido desesperada por la calle, con mi hija en brazos. Esa mujer pronto se ganó la fama de "fácil" en el pueblo, y hasta la echaron de su casa. Acorralada, terminó lanzándose al río. Rubén, por sus escándalos, perdió el trabajo. Y aun así, nunca me culpó de nada. Cuando nuestra hija cumplió un mes, Rubén encendió una hoguera enorme en el jardín... y nos quemó vivos: a mí, a la niña y a mis padres. Antes de que todo se apagara, alcancé a ver su cara desfigurada por el odio. —¡Bájense al infierno! —gritó—. Váyanse a acompañar a Mariana. Y entonces, al abrir otra vez los ojos, me encontré de vuelta en el mismo instante exacto en que me dijo que quería divorciarse.

Il a enlevé la mauvaise Moretti… et maintenant, il ne peut plus la laisser partir. Matteo Romano, connu sous le nom de roi fantôme, voulait l’héritière dorée de la famille Moretti. À la place, il a eu Lexi, la fille négligée aux mots tranchants et à l’audace malsaine face à la mort. Elle n’est pas l’otage qui rampe et supplie. Elle défie Matteo à chaque instant, rit de ses jeux et le tente de briser toutes ses règles. Mais plus elle restait, plus cela devenait dangereux pour le roi fantôme, dont le levier commençait à réchauffer le cœur glacé. Il voulait la briser… mais le jeu a changé, et dans une ville pleine d’ennemis, certains veulent la mort de Lexi autant que Matteo a besoin d’elle vivante. Quand un tueur à gages fait une offre indécente, que des amants du passé refont surface et que les familles se retournent contre le roi fantôme intrépide, la possession se transforme en obsession… et l’obsession en guerre. Matteo ne la laissera jamais partir vivante, et Lexi préférerait brûler dans le feu de leur obsession que respirer l’air de la liberté.

His lips crashed into mine like he couldn’t stop himself. Like he had been holding something back for too long and it had finally cracked. I wanted it just as badly as he did. “I tried to ignore this,” he muttered against my lips, voice rough and ragged. “Tried to erase it.” His mouth returned to mine, hotter, hungrier, tongue sliding into mine, tasting me like I was something he needed to survive. “But you’re everywhere,” he breathed, kissing the corner of my mouth, then down to my throat. “In my head, my routine, in my f*cking sleep haunting every dream.” I couldn’t answer. “You’ve broken me,” he whispered into my skin, like a secret he never meant to say out loud. “And I can’t even bring myself to hate it.” My body trembled at the admission. I affected him as much as he affected me and that thought was heavenly. ********* She was the quiet shadow behind his magnificent empire, efficient, obedient, forgettable.He was the billionaire with the Midas touch of gold and power, untouchable, commanding, and always in control.

Vor der Hochzeit stellte ich fest, dass ich im mehr als zwei Monaten schwanger war. Lucas Weber war jedoch leicht betrunken, strich über meinen Bauch und sagte halb im Scherz: „Mia, ich bin noch nicht bereit, Vater zu werden, lass uns dieses Kind erstmal nicht bekommen, okay?“ Ich hatte darauf nicht unruhig reagiert und antwortete leise: „Okay.“ In meinem früheren Leben hatte ich darauf bestanden, dieses Kind zu behalten, aber Sophia Schulz hatte zufällig eine Fehlgeburt, die es ihr schwierig machte, schwanger zu werden. Lucas hegte deshalb einen Groll gegen mich und war nach der Heirat kaltherzig zu mir. Und ich hatte eine schwierige Geburt, einen von Füßen in die Höllenpforte hinein, bevor ich den Sohn zur Welt brachte, aber auch er weinte und wollte Sophia als seine Mutter anerkennen. Später, als ich bei einem Autounfall einen Blutsturz erlitt, gingen Lucas und unser Sohn gleichgültig schnell an mir vorbei. Sie begleiteten nur um Sophia zur Entbindung. Oberhalb verblutete ich. Unter der Decke hielten sie Leuchtstäbe in die Höhe zum Feier der Ankunft des neuen Lebens. In meinem neuen Leben werde ich mich nicht mehr selbst aufgeben und keinen falschen Weg mehr gehen. Ich wählte die Nummer des Dekans und sagte: „Ich bin bereit, an der Polarexpedition teilzunehmen.“

“You hypnotize me.

He grabbed the fistful of my hair and devoured me. "Say it. I want to hear my name from these beautiful lips of yours.”He demanded. His dark eyes pierced my soul.“Rh-Rhys.” I said. His thin lips instantly curled up into a breathtakingly beautiful smile. “Now, I can't wait to hear you moan it.” Without wasting a second, he slammed his lips on mine. ------- Rhys Larsen got everything in his life.

"Let me go," She said, twisting her arm, trying to wriggle out of his brutal hold. His proximity had her heart jackhammering in her ears as tears threatened to spill out. The beast of a man roughly turned her around before grabbing her delicate throat in his big veiny hand as he yanked her to him. His tan skin contrasted against her snow one as his thumb stroked the soft flesh of her swan-like neck. Her toes were barely touching the ground as she stared petrified at the man hovering over her seemingly deranged. His hot breath caressed her face and had chills running down her spine. He looked possessed. "You're mine, f*cking MINE!" He seethed a low rumble as she flinched away. His amber rims were blazing pits as they gazed at her with an unadulterated ferocity. Her chin wobbled and her plump lips trembled as the girl shook her head trying to get away from him and her struggles grew frantic. She was so scared. His jaw clenched and his nose flared in rage. "So you won't listen, huh." He rasped in a low snarl before letting her go. She took three steps away from him, clutching her hands on her chest. Her whole body trembled wildly as she saw him locking the door before he faced her while unbuttoning his shirt and her heart dropped down into the depths of utter terror, she shook her head involuntarily. "Strip, little tigress. Strip for me." He gritted viciously causing her heart to lurch to her mouth.
