Grace Under Pressure Meaning

Meu marido, o chefe da máfia, perdeu seu primeiro amor para o suicídio. Celeste Reyes não conseguiu aceitar que ele estava se casando comigo. Desde então, Darius Sterling vive o luto por ela publicamente todos os dias, e nós nos tornamos o tipo de casal que se despreza mais do que qualquer outra pessoa. No entanto, quando a família Moretti de Eastbourne envia assassinos atrás de mim, Darius recebe a bala que era para ser minha. A bala estava envenenada. Enquanto ele jaz, fraco em meus braços, ele sussurra: — Eu salvei sua vida. Minha dívida com sua mãe está paga. Em nossa próxima vida, não vamos nos encontrar novamente. — Não quero mais te odiar. Só espero que você seja sempre aquela garota da casa ao lado. Agora, é hora de eu ficar com Celeste. E, simples assim, ele morre em meus braços. Eu choro do fundo da minha alma, mas Darius nunca mais olha para mim. Só então percebo quão tolo e infantil foi o nosso ódio durante todos esses anos. Mais tarde, após eliminar os Moretti, eu tiro minha própria vida por ele. Contudo, quando abro os olhos novamente, estou de volta aos 20 anos, o ano do nosso noivado. Eu rejeito o plano do meu pai para um casamento arranjado e escolho ir para New Verden gerenciar os negócios da família. Desta vez, ficarei longe de Darius e darei a ele e à Celeste as minhas bênçãos.

"You should rest." I said, my voice embarrassingly breathless. "Probably." he agreed, but made no move to put distance between us. "You're trembling." "I'm tired. It's been a long night." I lied, my voice lacking conviction. "Liar." His free hand came up, brushing a strand of hair from my face. The gesture was surprisingly gentle, at odds with the raw intensity in his eyes.

"First time?" he asks, lowering his hand to my abdomen, his body tensing. I bite my lip, seeing his eyes flash with something dark. He pushes deeper inside me, and I wince. Pain shoots through me, but pleasure quickly follows, numbing me to the world. The sparks and tingles distract me from the discomfort. "So tight," he murmurs as he pulls out. "Please," I moan recklessly, knowing I should stop him but It feels so good. "Eager to feel my c**k," he growls as he thrusts back inside me, his voice makes me forget the pain. But I lose myself, existing only for the man inside me. As the thrusts cease, his ragged breaths send shivers down my spine. I press my forehead into the pillow, disoriented. "Mine..." He growls.

"I, Asher Knight, Alpha of the Redwood Pack, hereby reject you, Alethea Weaver of BloodMoon pack as my mate." *** Alethea hasn't fully awakened her wolf.

I was feeding my seven-year-old daughter, Lucy Langer, when Robert Langer crashed through the front door, reeking of alcohol. His shirt collar hung askew, and red marks blazed across his neck. "Audrey," he said hoarsely, "someone spiked my drink at the charity gala. But don't worry. I've already had my lawyer handle it." I nodded. After so many years of marriage, I knew he only had eyes for me and our daughter. He never strayed. Or so I believed… until eight months later. While Robert was away on a business trip, his cruise ship caught fire. The news dominated every channel. Clutching a sobbing Lucy, I rushed to the hospital, only to find him swathed in bandages, standing outside the maternity ward. "Becca is pregnant," he murmured. "It was that night at the gala… I didn't think it would happen from just once…" He gulped. "When the fire spread, she saved me. But she… got trapped herself." A newborn's wail pierced the corridor as the delivery room doors opened. Becca White was wheeled out, looking pale and exhausted. She clutched my sleeve and pleaded desperately, "Audrey… my babies can't grow up without a father…"

“Ximena…” “I need answers, I want to know why Alpha Gonzalo and the Rogue king are after me. I need to know.” I replied, staring at him intently and he exhaled. “I’m equally confused. I don’t know what to think…” “I need a reason…” My voice softened. “The Rogue king has been terrorizing packs long before I was born but never for once has there been rumors of him trying to capture any wolf so he could mark her. What is it? Why am I suddenly wanted by multiple powerful men?” ************************** Once rejected, now desired by tons of powerful men, it’s up to Ximena to navigate her way through safety and the storms of love. There’s no telling what could happen but would ancient history be exposed? Would she over come the storm and even if she does, can things ever remain the same after the discovery of her true identity.

“I can give up everything. I can be your slave. You can use me for all your satisfaction, just let my father go.”
