From Betrayed Wife to Nobel Queen

From Betrayed Wife to Nobel Queen

Since I was a kid, my parents drilled it in—you're gonna be a Corleone girl, Giovanni Corleone's property. "This is just an alliance. Don't expect anything more." That's what he said on our wedding night. So I played the part—quiet, polished, dutiful. Then year three hit, and suddenly Giovanni couldn't keep his hands off me. Every night, something new. I thought maybe—finally—he felt the same way I had all along. Then I caught him kissing his stepmom. Funny. Just the night before, he told me kissing me made him sick. "I've been practicing with her—for your sake." So yeah. All that heat? Just rehearsal for her. So I ran. Took back my life—and our unborn daughter. The Don lost his mind looking for me. Begged me to come back—with the kid. But I would not stop for him anymore. I turned and walked straight toward the stage that was always mine.

Ditinggal 17 Kali, Kini Aku Pemimpin Mafia

Ditinggal 17 Kali, Kini Aku Pemimpin Mafia

Malam sebelum pernikahan yang ke-17, suamiku, yang seorang mafia, berjanji kali ini pernikahan kami akan tenang tanpa gangguan. "Merry, kali ini aku janji," katanya dengan sungguh-sungguh. "Aku sudah bilang pada Agnes, besok, sekali pun langit runtuh, dia harus menanggungnya sendiri." Kandunganku sudah memasuki bulan kelima. Aku dan Lewis sudah bersama selama tiga tahun. Kini, aku hamil lima bulan, tetapi belum pernah sekali pun kami berhasil menggelar pernikahan. Sebab sebelumnya, dia sudah membatalkan pernikahan kami sebanyak enam belas kali. Setiap kali itu terjadi, alasannya selalu sama, yaitu karena adik angkatnya, Agnes. Pertama, katanya demam. Aku menemaninya semalaman di rumah sakit tanpa sempat ganti gaun pengantin, yang ternyata Agnes hanya flu ringan. Kedua, katanya sakit jantung. Lewis langsung pergi meninggalkanku, padahal sebenarnya dia sedang asyik mengobrol bersama teman-temannya sambil minum teh. Ketiga, katanya takut petir. Lewis meninggalkanku di tengah sumpah pernikahan, membiarkanku berdiri sendirian di depan para tamu. Namun, kali ini berbeda. Tiga hari lalu, aku menerima sepucuk surat dari Vireka Utara. Ayahku, kepala Keluarga Damian, secara pribadi mengirim undangan agar aku pulang. Jika kali ini Lewis masih memilih pergi demi Agnes, maka aku akan menghilang untuk selamanya.

Dix-sept ruptures : De fiancée à Reine de la Mafia

Dix-sept ruptures : De fiancée à Reine de la Mafia

La nuit précédant notre 17 èmes mariage, mon mari mafieux m'a promis que cette fois-ci, la cérémonie se déroulerait sans encombre. « Je te promets que tout se passera bien cette fois-ci, Vicky », sa voix était solennelle, « j'ai dit à Joanne que demain, quelle que soit l'importance de l'affaire, elle devra se débrouiller toute seule ». Le bébé dans mon ventre avait cinq mois. André et moi étions ensemble depuis trois ans, j'étais enceinte de cinq mois et la cérémonie de mariage n'a pas encore eu lieu. Car avant cela, il avait l'annulée seize fois. A chaque fois, c'était à cause de sa sœur adoptive Joanne. La première fois, elle a dit qu'elle avait de la fièvre, et je suis restée avec lui toute la nuit à l'hôpital sans changer ma robe de mariée, et j'ai découvert qu'elle n'avait qu'un léger rhume. La deuxième fois, elle a dit qu'elle avait des problèmes cardiaques, et André m'a laissée pour y aller, mais elle était en fait en train de prendre le thé avec une amie. La troisième fois, elle a dit qu'elle avait peur du tonnerre, et il m'a quittée au milieu de ses vœux, me laissant seule face à une maison pleine. Mais cette fois-ci, c'était différent. Il y a trois jours, j'ai reçu une lettre du nord de l'Italie, qui était une invitation à revenir de la part de mon père, l'ancien parrain de la famille Durant, lui-même. S'il partait pour Joanne pour la dix-septième fois, je serais partie pour de bon.

After I, Rosalie Ricci, was stood up 17 times, the mafia don, Daniel Marino, finally holds the perfect engagement banquet for me. In our second year together, we are ready to get married. But every single time, he has an excuse to hold our engagement off. He says he's busy with work, the timing isn't right yet, or that he isn't quite ready. I never blame him because I love him. I have loved him since our school days. In fact, I have loved him for seven whole years. This is the 18th time. I stand in the banquet hall wearing the gown he personally chose for me and watch as he slips the ring onto my finger. He kisses me with a passionate intensity he has never shown me before. At that moment, I believe that I have finally secured my perfect happiness after waiting seven long years. My happiness only lasts until the guests leave. As I step into the back garden, I see Daniel holding my twin sister, Leah Ricci, in his arms. He says in a hushed voice, "I announced my engagement to Rosalie 18 times. This time, you're finally back." That's when I realize that the engagement banquet that I have longed for is nothing more than a ploy by Daniel to draw Leah back to him. But when I decided to let them be together, Daniel panics.

You’ve Got Fire

You’ve Got Fire

My fiance, Simon Rossi, is a mafia Don with a reputation for brutality. He suddenly takes in an orphan girl and spoils her rotten. He names her Giara, saying she's pure, like a beam of light. But that is the name he has promised for our future daughter. He thinks he's hidden it well. But the night before our engagement party, I notice his cufflinks. The ruby ones I gave him are replaced with cheap plastic cartoon cats. I don't believe he's really cheating, so I abduct Giara to get answers without hurting her. Then Simon bursts in with his men. 50 people die, and three armories go up in flames. "Ivina Coleo, consider this a lesson. But don't worry. I'll send her away. Remember, this is the first time you touch her, and the last." But at the engagement party, Giara sits with Simon's parents, smiling right at me. The sight sparks a fury I can't control. I lunge forward, determined to send her away myself. Simon tells Giara to leave, coaxing me through the ceremony. But that night, he binds my limbs with stones and sinks me into the sea. "I told you that was the last time." Cold water fills my lungs. When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day I first abducted Giara. This time, I don't want Simon or the wedding anymore.

Substitute No More: The Sister They Lost

Substitute No More: The Sister They Lost

I stand in the hospital after my two older brothers decline all 99 of my phone calls. They finally appear, bringing with them the biological sister they found. My gentle eldest brother, who had once rescued me from my so-called abusive parents, raises his hand and slaps me across the face. "Cynthia, you're actually pretending to have a terminal illness just to compete with Sarah for our affection? And you came to this kind of place to frighten us?" I clutch my swollen cheek and listen as my second brother, who always says he'll trust me no matter what, holds Sarah in his arms and laughs out loud. "Are you trying to fake being sick to get our attention after seeing that Sarah is in poor health? "Just cut the act. You've been living in luxury since childhood and have always been in perfect health. How could you possibly be ill?" Sarah Crawford speaks up thoughtfully, "Don't blame her, you two. I think she just feels like I've stolen away your love for her, which is why she has become so unreasonable..." I look at the two brothers who have doted on me for ten years and suddenly feel that nothing matters anymore. After all, I only have seven days left to live. In seven days, everything will return to normal after my departure. But by then, they'll be the ones unable to accept it.

More Than One Online Chat Partner

More Than One Online Chat Partner

I was about to confess to my online chat partner in person when a barrage of comments suddenly flashed across my mind. [Don't bother. Jedediah is avoiding her right now. He's regretting ever mixing her up with someone else.] [It's all her fault for using a profile picture so similar to Georgia's. Otherwise, Jedediah wouldn't have gotten confused.] [It's annoying to think that when Jedediah lost a game, it was the supporting role, Monica, who comforted him. All those sweet words he said were meant for the female lead, Georgia.] [Jedediah is grossed out by it, too. Georgia only added him as a friend yesterday. It's so frustrating.] [Monica is a bane!] Dazed, I ran into Jedediah Merritt, who had just finished playing basketball. He quickly averted his gaze, but I moved around him, shoving the love letter into his roommate's hands. Online chat partner? I had more than one, sending my goodnight voice messages to several people every night.
