Foto Yui Metal

No primeiro ano do nosso casamento, Augusto Moretti, meu marido perfeito aos olhos de todos, começou a mudar. Ele se afastou de mim, tornando-se frio e distante. De repente, ele parecia ter feito um voto de castidade: mandou construir uma pequena capela na mansão e não largava mais o rosário. Eu tentei de tudo para reacender a nossa relação. Mas, por mais que eu o provocasse, ele permanecia indiferente, como se eu fosse invisível. Até que, em uma noite, o flagrei através de uma fresta na porta do banheiro. Ele estava se entregando à paixão… Mas não por mim. Ele olhava fixamente para a foto de outra mulher. Foi nesse momento que percebi: ele não era frio, ele apenas não tinha sentimentos por mim. Decidi virar o jogo. Enganei Augusto para que assinasse o acordo do divórcio e desapareci completamente da vida dele. Mas, ironicamente, depois que sumi, ele enlouqueceu tentando me encontrar. Quando nos reencontramos, foi no casamento do tio dele. Eu vestia um vestido de noiva branco, e ele, com os olhos vermelhos de raiva, não conseguia de jeito nenhum me chamar de "tia"!

"Finders keepers," Deangelo growled, his voice all sharp edges. "I found her first, commoners, she belongs to me. The only reason she's still breathing is because I saved her from that fucking fire." Romano snorted, pushing his way further inside. "You think you can just claim her like that? She's not a damn trophy, Scorpion." Fernando gave a series of hand gestures in sign language. Deangelo translated, "You may have found her, but that does not make her yours. We have a stake here, Papi." Vincenzo's voice cut like a knife through the tension. "This isn't some playground game. She's a person, not a prize to be fought over?" As their voices rose, they suddenly fell silent, snapping their eyes to Rosita. She was rushing towards the door. DeAngelo's eyes narrowed as he took a step towards her. "Little peasant, don't even think about it." **** Rosita's life has been anything but ordinary. Homeschooled and sheltered by her overprotective father after a near-fatal stalking incident, she dreams of escaping to college and pursuing her passion for music. But her father's plans to enroll her in an online university leave her feeling trapped and desperate. On the day, she finally decides to away, a fire overtakes their home, trapping her in her room. Just when she thinks all hope is lost, her metal door is broken down—not by her father, but by Deangelo Luis Valladares, the most-feared mafia drug lord in the whole of Mexico. With an intriguing, sinister smile, he extends his hand to Rosita through the smoke-filled room. Will Rosita take his hand and let him save her, or will she be taken by force? Can a breathtaking beauty like Rosita survive in a world ruled by mafia dons who live like kings and control Mexico City?

Everyone had been poisoned. The toast for my party had just happened and now people were dropping like flies around me. And then I saw him. He entered the hall like an angel of death, his dark brown eyes two pools of malevolence that shone with sinister intent.Despite his twenty years of age, he definitely had more kills under his belt than years on his person. I was viciously yanked into the hard body of the man responsible for everything going on.One muscular arm went over my chest, pinning me to him. Fear lodged itself in my throat upon the sensation of cool dangerous metal at my temple. I bit back a whimper. He was going to kill me. “The name is Gabriel Rossi,” he murmured, his deep voice sending ripples of fear down my spine. “And your papa is going to watch me k*ll his precious princesa. He took my birthright from me. I’m gonna take something from him too.” I gathered my courage and with a surprising amount of strength fueled by the sheer terror pumping in my veins, I pulled myself out of Gabriel’s grasp. He tried to grab my arm, only for his hand to go over the protective bangle that suppressed my magic. I gave another fierce jerk of my body and the bangle broke away, left behind in his hand as I pulled free. I heard the cocking of his p*st0l. My eyes met the feral glowing yellow eyes of my killer, one hundred percent sure I was going to die. “Mate,” Gabriel Rossi said, staring straight at me. **** In a world where darkness and magic collide, Evelina finds herself entangled in a perilous dance with fate. You can run from Gabriel Rossi....but you can't hide. ***

Tiga hari sebelum pernikahan, Arven didatangi oleh sahabat masa kecilnya yang kembali ke tanah air bersama ibunya yang mengidap penyakit mematikan. Dia ingin menikah dengan Arven demi menunaikan wasiat terakhir ibunya. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku menentang keras. Pada akhirnya, Arven menolak permintaan sahabat kecilnya, Nyra. Sesuai rencana, Arven melangkah ke pelaminan bersamaku. Namun, Nyra muncul di lokasi pernikahan sambil memeluk foto mendiang ibunya dan menuduh Arven tak berperasaan. Arven menyuruh para pengawal mengusirnya dan pernikahan kami pun tetap berlangsung. Akan tetapi pada malam pertama pernikahan, dia tidak pulang semalaman. Setelah itu, setiap malam kami tidur terpisah. Dia lebih memilih mabuk berat daripada menyentuhku. Ketika aku bertanya alasannya, dia berkata dengan sorot mata yang tampak buram karena alkohol. "Aeris, setiap kali melihatmu, aku selalu teringat tatapan putus asa Nyra, juga wajah mendiang ibunya .... Aku menyesal!" Aku pun jatuh sakit karena kesedihan dan meninggal dunia. Saat membuka mata kembali, aku kembali ke hari ketika Arven mengatakan ingin mengadakan pernikahan untuk Nyra. Di kehidupan ini, aku langsung menyetujui permintaannya. Menatap punggungnya yang pergi dengan wajah penuh kebahagiaan, aku menelpon rumah dan berkata, "Kak, aku setuju dengan perjodohan keluarga. Atur saja pernikahannya tiga hari lagi."

The day after my Alpha mate's precious childhood sweetheart Sage accused me of sending rogue wolves to attack her, my mate Kael, along with our two sons, suspended my brother above a massive cauldron of boiling silver, threatening to throw him into the molten metal that would burn him alive. I went insane, rushing toward them, but the pack warriors held me back with iron grips. "Do you understand your mistake now?" Kael stood nearby in his perfectly tailored suit, his eyes cold as winter frost, his voice laced with ice. "Will you ever dare to hurt Sage again?" "I didn't attack her!" I cried, struggling against the warriors' hold. "Kael, let my brother go! He's only eighteen! He just got accepted to Harvard!" Five-year-old River crossed his small arms, his face emotionless. "The evidence is clear. Why are you still lying?" Four-year-old Stone nodded along, his tone innocent yet cruel. "Mommy, if you're so scared of Uncle dying, you shouldn't have attacked Aunt Sage. She's our precious one." My heart contracted violently. Sage was their precious one. Then what was I? What did I mean to them? I looked toward Kael, hoping he might spare my brother for the sake of our years as mates. But he only stared at me coldly, his gaze like he was looking at a complete stranger. I suddenly laughed, though tears streamed down my face. They thought it was just a dummy tied up there and they were just trying to scare me. They didn't realize that Sage had someone switch out that dummy. What's frying in the silver now is my dear little brother. In the boiling silver, my brother's body was already burned beyond recognition. But when I completely gave up and left, why did three men kneel down and beg me to come back?

Nelson se tragó por accidente una nueva droga afrodisíaca y su situación era crítica. Como su médico de cabecera, no tuve más opción que convertirme en su salvavidas. Como soy naturalmente fértil, me quedé embarazada con esa vez. Me casé con él y tuvimos unos gemelos, un niño y una niña, sumamente inteligentes y traviesos. Pero, después de casarnos, Nelson no quería que los niños lo llamaran «papá» y pasaba todo el día abrazando una foto de su alma gemela, borracho. Al cumplir diez años de matrimonio, él prendió fuego la casa y nos mató a los niños y a mí en el sótano. Resulta que, durante todo ese tiempo, Nelson guardaba rencor por lo que había hecho al salvarlo. Él pensaba que lo había hecho solo para acercarme a los poderosos, que había sido esa intervención la que había roto su relación con su amor, y que eso había causado que ella perdiera la cabeza y muriera en un accidente. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, me di cuenta de que había regresado al día en que Nelson se tragó la droga. Esta vez, decidí darle la oportunidad de salvar a su amor platónico, mientras yo me dirigía al estudio...

Dalam perjalanan menjenguk kekasihku yang sedang lembur, aku mengalami kecelakaan hebat. Aku meneleponnya puluhan kali untuk meminta pertolongan, tapi tak satu pun yang dia angkat. Menatap gedung kantor kekasihku yang lampunya masih terang benderang tak jauh dari sana, aku pun tenggelam dalam keputusasaan. Saat aku terbangun di rumah sakit, aku melihat sebuah unggahan dari bawahan kekasihku. [Aku harus bagaimana kalau masih dimarahi atasan tengah malam begini?] Foto yang diunggah, memperlihatkan bayangan dua orang yang terpantul di pintu kaca. Jarak di antara mereka sudah jauh melampaui batas profesional. Dengan sisa-sisa harapan, aku kembali menghubungi kekasihku. Kali ini, panggilanku akhirnya tersambung. Aku tidak bisa menahan isak tangis dan berkata, "Welly, aku kecelakaan ...." "Ziana, aku masih sibuk. Biar asistenku saja yang mengurusnya, ya? Patuh dikit ya, aku akan pulang menemanimu setelah perjalanan dinas ini selesai." Baru saja aku ingin bicara lagi, suaranya yang membentak memotong ucapanku, "Kendal! Perjalanan dinas hanya boleh membawa satu koper, kamu bawa tiga koper itu mau pindahan atau liburan?" Kendal, anak magang yang baru direkrut oleh Welly. Aku menatap layar ponsel yang telah diputus sepihak itu, air mata mengering di wajahku. Aku pun mengalihkan panggilan ke nomor orang tuaku dan berkata, "Perjodohan yang sudah keluarga atur itu ... aku setuju."

Casados há três anos, Heitor Mendes tratava Patrícia Vieira com uma frieza cortante, mas a amante dele ousou ultrapassar todos os limites ao enviar uma foto vestindo a camisola de Patrícia. [Patrícia, não fique brava. O Heitor disse que eu fico melhor com essa roupa do que você.] A amante acariciava a barriga levemente arredondada, enquanto lançava um olhar cheio de desprezo e provocação para Patrícia. Durante três anos de casamento, Patrícia dormiu sozinha na cama de casal, acreditando que o marido estava apenas focado no trabalho. Até que a amante apareceu, tirando-a de vez do lugar que ela ocupava. Foi então que Patrícia entendeu: todo o amor e dedicação de anos haviam sido despejados em um verdadeiro ingrato. — Me dê metade dos bens e eu entrego o lugar de Sra. Mendes ao seu "primeiro amor"! Patrícia deixou os papéis do divórcio sobre a mesa e saiu da casa que antes chamava de lar, dando espaço para que os dois traidores ficassem juntos. O que ela nunca imaginou era que, ao pedir o divórcio, o homem frio e distante que ela conhecia iria chorar até os olhos ficarem vermelhos e se ajoelhar aos seus pés, implorando por uma segunda chance.

Untuk menyembuhkan depresi si putri kaya palsu, kekasih masa kecilku yang pernah bersumpah hanya akan menikah denganku, Darryl, diam-diam pergi mendaftarkan pernikahan dengannya. Di belakangnya, aku menyetujui perjodohan keluargaku. Aku menikah dengan pewaris keluarga konglomerat di ibu kota, Vincent, yang diam-diam telah mencintaiku selama bertahun-tahun. Setelah tujuh tahun menikah, dia memanjakanku sepenuh hati. Malam demi malam dia selalu menuntut kemesraan dariku. Bahkan jika aku menginginkan bintang di langit, dia tetap akan berusaha mengambilkannya untukku. Aku sempat mengira, akhirnya aku telah menemukan kebahagiaan. Hingga suatu kali setelah bercinta, aku tidak sengaja mendengar percakapan Vincent dengan sahabatnya. "Avril sudah jadi aktris internasional peraih penghargaan. Kapan kamu mau pisah sama Ariel?" "Toh sama saja harus nikah sama orang yang nggak kucintai, jadi mau sama siapa pun itu nggak ada bedanya. Lagi pula, aku harus jaga Ariel agar dia nggak mengganggu kebahagiaan yang didapatkan Avril dengan susah payah." Aku membuka komputer di ruang kerjanya. Di dalam sebuah folder tersembunyi, tersimpan ratusan ribu foto Avril dan seratus surat cinta yang tak pernah dia kirimkan. Setidak percaya apa pun pada kenyataan, saat ini aku benar-benar sudah harus sadar. Aku membeli sebuah tubuh plastik, lalu merancang sebuah kebakaran besar. Mulai saat ini, entah di langit atau di neraka, aku tak akan pernah bertemu dengannya lagi.
