Im dritten Jahr meiner Ehe mit Viktor Grau schickte mir seine Stiefschwester Nina plötzlich ein Video. Ich öffnete es und sah Viktor. Mit der Krawatte, die ich ihm gerade geschenkt hatte, fesselte er seine Stiefschwester am Bettpfosten fest. Sie lag nackt unter ihm und stöhnte immer wieder „Schatz“. Danach lagen sie eng umschlungen. Nina schmiegte sich an seinen Hals und säuselte: „Viktor, der Ring, den du mir geschenkt hast, gefällt mir nicht. Gib ihn doch deiner Frau – als Geburtstagsgeschenk von deiner kleinen Schwester.“ Am nächsten Tag saß ich in einem gehobenen Restaurant und starrte geistesabwesend auf den leeren Stuhl mir gegenüber. Plötzlich kam sein Vertrauter mit einer riesigen Torte auf mich zu. „Don hatte etwas Dringendes zu erledigen und bat mich, Ihnen Ihr Geburtstagsgeschenk zu überbringen.“ In der Schatulle lag genau der Ring, den seine Stiefschwester nicht gewollt hatte. Im selben Moment erreichte mich ein neues Foto auf dem Handy: Viktor war mit seiner Stiefschwester im Krankenhaus. Ich weinte nicht, machte keine Szene und unterschrieb ruhig die Scheidungspapiere – dann ließ ich eine Hochzeit vorbereiten. „Gnädige Frau, wessen Namen sollen für Braut und Bräutigam eingetragen werden?“ „Viktor Grau und Nina Grau.“ In sieben Tagen würde die ganze Welt erfahren, was der stets so unnahbare Don hinter verschlossenen Türen mit seiner Stiefschwester so alles trieb.

Meu nome era Isabella Wright. No meu quinto ano de casamento com o Don de uma poderosa família da máfia, eu descobri que o amuleto que ele havia me dado era responsável por me causar dores de cabeça sempre que eu o usava. Eu descobri um pequeno sachê no interior do amuleto e decidi levá-lo ao Hospital Cursley. Após examiná-lo, o médico disse que nele havia um veneno de ação lenta, que além de causar mal ao corpo da vítima, a longo prazo causava infertilidade. Eu comecei a chorar e exclamei: — Isso não é possível! Foi Vincenzo Cursley quem me deu isso! Ele era meu marido e dono desse hospital! Com uma expressão confusa, o médico me olhou e disse: — Minha senhora, talvez você devesse dar uma passada na psiquiatria. Eu conhecia muito bem o Sr. Cursley e sua esposa, eles eram um casal muito próximo e nesse momento estavam na ala VIP, tomando conta do bebê que ela acabara de ter. Então, o doutor me mostrou uma foto em seu telefone. Vincenzo estava com seu terno preto habitual, aquele com o emblema da família Cursley bordado. Ele segurava um bebê nos braços e ao lado dele havia uma mulher... Uma mulher que eu conhecia muito bem: Claudia Henderson, aquela que Vincenzo dizia ser sua irmã adotiva.

Aku meninggal di hari aku memenangkan Penghargaan Doktor Medis Global. Tiga jam setelah kematianku, orang tua, kakak laki-laki, dan tunanganku baru saja pulang dari pesta ulang tahun ke-16 adik perempuanku. Ketika adikku mengunggah foto keluarga kami saat merayakan ulang tahunnya di media sosial, aku sedang terbaring di ruang bawah tanah yang tertutup rapat dan berlumuran darah. Aku mencoba menggunakan lidahku untuk menggeser layar ponsel dan meminta bantuan. Di antara kontak darurat, hanya tunanganku yang menjawab panggilanku. Artinya orang tua dan kakakku telah memblokir nomorku. Begitu telepon diangkat, tunanganku hanya mengucapkan satu kalimat, “Karin, pesta ulang tahun Lina yang ke-16 itu sangat penting. Jangan pakai alasan nggak masuk akal untuk cari perhatian kami dan bersikap manja lagi!” Dia menutup telepon dan memutus harapan terakhirku untuk bertahan hidup. Jantungku berhenti berdetak karena nada sibuk telepon. Ini adalah ke-100 kalinya mereka memilih adikku, ke-100 kalinya mereka mengabaikanku, mengecewakanku, dan ini juga yang terakhir. Aku terbaring di dalam genangan darahku sendiri, merasakan napasku perlahan berhenti. Mereka mengira aku kabur dari rumah lagi sebagai alasan untuk melampiaskan ketidakpuasanku. Mereka pikir bahwa selama mereka memberiku pelajaran, aku akan kembali dengan patuh seperti 99 kali sebelumnya. Sayangnya, itu tidak akan terjadi kali ini. Karena aku tidak pernah meninggalkan rumah, aku terus terbaring di ruang bawah tanah rumahku.

Di tahun ketiga pernikahanku dengan Jovan, tiba-tiba adik angkatnya, Jenny, mengirimkan sebuah video kepadaku. Aku membukanya dan melihat Jovan mengikat adik angkatnya di kepala ranjang menggunakan dasi yang baru saja kuberikan padanya. Sementara adik angkatnya terbaring telanjang di bawahnya, tanpa henti memanggilnya sebagai suami. Setelah itu mereka berpelukan erat. Jenny melingkarkan lengannya di leher Jovan dan merengek, “Kakak, aku nggak suka cincin yang kamu berikan padaku itu. Ambil saja dan berikan pada Kakak Ipar, anggap saja itu hadiah ulang tahun dariku.” Keesokan harinya, aku duduk di restoran mewah. Menatap kursi kosong di seberangku dengan pikiran melayang. Tiba-tiba, wakilnya mendorong kue besar ke arahku. “Pak Jovan ada urusan mendadak, jadi dia meminta saya mengantarkan hadiah ulang tahun ini untuk Nyonya.” Kotak itu berisi cincin, persis seperti cincin yang tidak diinginkan adik angkatnya. Lalu, sebuah foto baru dikirimkan ke ponselku. Jovan sedang menemani adik angkatnya berobat di rumah sakit. Aku tidak menangis atau membuat keributan. Aku dengan tenang menandatangani perjanjian perceraian. Lalu meminta seseorang menyiapkan sebuah pesta pernikahan. “Nyonya, siapa nama pengantin pria dan pengantin wanita yang harus ditulis?” “Jovan Gunawan dan Jenny Gunawan.” Tujuh hari kemudian, aku akan membiarkan seluruh dunia melihat betapa liarnya Ketua Mafia yang selalu serius itu, bermain-main secara pribadi dengan adik angkatnya.

"Lo tau gak, sih, tata krama masuk ruangan?” tanya Regar ketus. Nessa sangat tidak sopan. Masuk ruangan tanpa permisi. Regar menyesal tidak mengunci pintu. Alih – alih menjawab, Nessa malah menyalakan posnelnya dan membuka aplikasi kamera. Ia mengatur kameranya menjadi kamera depan lalu mengajak Regar berfoto bersama. "Apaan, sih!” seru Regar tidak suka dengan tindakan Nessa. "Satu, dua, tigaaa,” Nessa langsung menjepret kamera ponselnya lalu melihat hasilnya. Tampak ekspresi Regar yang sedang marah. Sangat kontras dengan Nessa yang tersenyum manis. "Hahaha lucu, deh. Upload, ah,” Nessa membuka akun Instagramnya kemudian memposting fotonya dan Regar di instastory. Tak lupa ia me-mention akun Instagram Regar. Regar adalah cowok terkenal di sekolah dan luar sekolah sehingga memiliki banyak pengikut. Nessa berharap jika Regar me-repost instastory-nya maka akan banyak pengikut Regar yang mengikuti akunnya juga, “jangan lupa repost, ya,” Regar yang melihat hal itu menjadi semakin kesal, “Nessa hapus!” pinta Regar to the point. "Gapapa lah, Gar, sekali – kali. Kita, kan, belom pernah foto berdua,” jawab Nessa santai sambil memandangi fotonya bersama Regar. Regar membuang napas kasar. Ia menatap kedua temannya yang hanya diam. "Kalo Regar gak mau, sini sama Miko aja, beb,” sahut Miko. "Gak mau. Maunya sama Regar,” Regar memalingkan wajahnya malas, “murahan,” jawab Regar spontan dengan nada meremehkan. Cowok itu sedang menahan amarahnya saat ini. Ia berusaha untuk tidak membentak Nessa walaupun ia tahu kata – katanya barusan sangat tajam.

Dos dez aos dezoito anos, meus pais me obrigaram a escrever duzentas e noventa e nove dívidas. Cada centavo que eu pedia a eles era considerado um empréstimo — algo que eu teria que pagar quando me tornasse adulta. Até que sofri um acidente de carro... Na hora de pagar a cirurgia, ainda me faltavam três mil no cartão. Sem saída, fui implorar ajuda aos meus pais. Mas eles apenas sorriram friamente: — Júlia Monforte, você já tem dezoito anos. Não temos mais obrigação nenhuma com você. Escreva uma nova dívida! Com lágrimas nos olhos, escrevi minha tricentésima dívida. Após a cirurgia, abri o Instagram e me deparei com uma publicação da minha irmã adotiva. Na foto, ela estava em um cruzeiro internacional, celebrando seu aniversário de dezoito anos como uma princesa, cercada de gente a bajulando. O presente dos meus pais para ela? Um apartamento de alto padrão no centro de São Paulo... e a chave de um Maserati. Até meu amigo de infância... olhava para ela com olhos cheios de amor. Ela agradecia: "Obrigada às pessoas que eu mais amo, por me darem o melhor que eu poderia ter." E eu, segurando aquela dívida toda amassada nas mãos, simplesmente sorri. Depois que eu quitar essa dívida... uma coisa é certa — não preciso mais de uma família assim.

Alpha Derek is wild, strong and… horny. After the death of his wife 3 years ago, Derek Compton has not found any woman within and outside his pack attractive and worthy of his attention until he finds a woman from an inferior and enemy pack in the woods. He could kill her to send a message to members of her pack who may think of wondering into enemy territory or satisfy the sudden desire brewing inside him to have her in his bed. Isabel is not only an omega in her pack, she’s also a constantly bullied loser and sometimes treated like an outcast. One night, while she blindly runs from her bullies, she accidentally gets lost in the most fearful and merciless wolf pack territory, the South Park, known for their brutal nature and super strength. Isabel is faced with the option of death or sex with her captor. Death may have been on her wishlist for a long time but the stories of the south’s cruel and merciless killings scare her out of her mind. Also, the new spark of hope that she may(to) find the Southern wolves that killed her parents ten years ago makes her agree to this proposal. Derek keeps lying to himself that he has no feelings for her but is unable to stop himself from protecting her when she was caught snooping around by his men. Isabel’s vendetta is the only thing standing in the way of her falling in love with him - only if she hasn’t. By the way, it is forbidden for the Southern wolves to be together with a wolf from an inferior territory. Alpha Derek made the rules.
