Francisco Arcellana The Mats

Depois que minha irmã perdeu a lucidez, o noivado com a influente família Montelo caiu sobre mim. Acreditei que era um presente do destino: finalmente me casaria com Francisco, o garoto que meu coração amou desde sempre. Mas na noite de núpcias, fui deixada sozinha e virei motivo de riso em toda Cidade Antoril. Pior ainda: ao descobrir um segredo cruel da minha irmã, ela me matou. Jogou meu corpo como lixo, como se eu nunca tivesse existido. Mas o tempo, às vezes, nos dá uma segunda chance. Acordei no dia em que os destinos foram trocados. Francisco estava lá, ajoelhado diante da minha irmã confusa, beijando-lhe os dedos com devoção: — Bian, não importa como você esteja, você sempre será o amor da minha vida. Dessa vez, não hesitei. Virei as costas e aceitei o pedido de casamento de Leonardo Zuanetti — o CEO frio, inalcançável… e estéril. Mas Francisco enlouqueceu. Implorou para que eu voltasse. Tarde demais.

Cuando fui al hospital para verificar si el cuarto intento de fertilización in vitro había sido exitoso, vi a Francisco Gutiérrez —quien supuestamente estaba de viaje de negocios— ayudando cuidadosamente a una joven y hermosa chica a salir del sección de ginecología y obstetricia. La chica tenía el vientre tan abultado que parecía estar a punto de dar a luz. Francisco solo se desconcertó por un instante, antes de proteger a la chica detrás de él. —Laura, nuestra familia necesita un hijo para continuar el linaje. Cuando nazca el bebé, volveremos a ser como antes. Escuché claramente la determinación en su voz, y le sonreí diciendo que estaba bien. Ante su mirada sorprendida, guardé silenciosamente mis resultados médicos. El día que la chica dio a luz, dejé un acuerdo de divorcio y me alejé de él para siempre.

Celeste Virelli is not your typical private investigator. Sleek, calculating, and always three steps ahead, she specializes in one thing: seducing unfaithful husbands to trigger the fidelity clauses in their ironclad prenups. Her clients are wealthy women trapped in golden cages—wives who want out, but only if they can take half the fortune with them. Celeste doesn’t advertise. She doesn’t need to. Her name passes in whispers between yoga mats and charity galas, a whispered promise of justice wrapped in silk and steel. When Vivienne Cross, the young wife of tech mogul Julian Cross, walks into her office, Celeste expects another routine takedown. But Julian isn’t like the others. He’s elusive, calculating, and hiding more than just a wandering eye. As Celeste draws him into her web, she uncovers a deeper game—one that involves offshore accounts, a missing woman, and a secret that could destroy more than a marriage. For the first time, Celeste finds herself questioning the rules she’s lived by. Because this time, the seduction might not be an act. And the most dangerous lies aren’t the ones told in bed—they’re the ones we tell ourselves. The Seduction Clause is a taut, stylish psychological thriller about power, betrayal, and the cost of playing with fire where every glance is a gamble, and every kiss could be a weapon.

No meu vigésimo aniversário, meus pais trouxeram fotos de herdeiros de todo o país e as colocaram diante de mim, pedindo que eu escolhesse alguém para um casamento arranjado. Eu disse ao meu pai que queria decidir por sorteio. Só porque, na vida passada, escolhi sem hesitar o cobiçado herdeiro de Cidade Lima, o ilustre Carlos Uchoa, de quem eu já gostava há tempos. Mas só descobri depois do casamento que a primeira paixão dele ficou tão arrasada com isso que saiu para um bar, afogou as mágoas e acabou sendo abusada por uns marginais. Ela tentou se suicidar três vezes, e Carlos colocou toda a culpa em mim. Ele deu toda a fortuna da minha família para a primeira paixão dele, esvaziando completamente o patrimônio dos Lemos. Por fim, ele ainda permitiu que ela cortasse o freio do carro, causando o acidente em que meus pais e eu morremos de forma trágica. Ao renascer, desta vez acabei sorteando o herdeiro mais respeitado, distante e celibatário de Cidade Real, Francisco Costa. Mas, na festa de noivado, quando eu, Estela Lemos, entrei de braço dado com Francisco, chamando toda a atenção, Carlos simplesmente perdeu o juízo.
