Guy Crimson Tensura

My name is Christian Thompson, and once upon a time, I was the best striker in European football. That was until he came along—Ashford Ryder, young and carefree, 10 years my junior and the new shining star. I hate him. At least that's what I tell myself. Not just because he's taken my spot, but because he's everything I've struggled all my life to be, and not to be. He's vibrant, he's happy, and the worst of all, he's openly gay. I'm not homophobic, quite the opposite—I've lived in the closet all my life. All my life, I've had to hide who I am to please the people around me. European football hasn't always been this accepting of gay men, and I'd squeezed myself into a box to fit in with what they wanted of me. It isn’t that hard when you think about my family who'd rather disown me than have an openly gay son. So imagine how I feel when the world decides to be more accommodating to people like Ashford Ryder when they shoved me in a box. It's not so easy to hate the happy-go-lucky striker, when he does everything to get close to me, despite my insistent hatred for him. He's like a thorn in my side—a hot, sexy, blonde, 5ft9 thorn I can't stop thinking about. But when one day I lose my cool around the popular striker and land myself in bad press, I end up needing his help. It's supposed to be easy. Spend some time with Ashford Ryder, and show our fans that we can work together—it's what I need to do to save my career. But no one tells you how hard it is to hate someone you spend every waking hour dreaming about.

Owen Gray and I get into an accident. I'm seven months pregnant, but I save him anyway. I end up in a coma. I wake up after three years. Owen has amnesia, and he's now my sister's husband. My child also calls her his mother. I try everything, but Owen doesn't remember me. Instead, his love for my sister grows deeper. Even our son blames me for waking him and ruining their happy lives. When I finally decide to let go, I overhear a conversation between Owen and someone else. "Shannon was willing to give up her life for you, Owen. If she finds out your amnesia is an act…" "There's only a week to go before my three-year agreement with her sister is over. I'll give Vivian the wedding she wants. Then, I'll act like I've recovered from my amnesia. Luca and I will return to Shannon's side." I'm stunned. I never would've expected Owen to be pretending to be an amnesiac. I look at the diagnosis report in my hands. It's too bad I can't even wait for a week.

After I discovered I was pregnant, I slammed the pregnancy test report down in front of my playboy boyfriend. Alan Rivers lit a cigarette and blew smoke rings at me, his tone casual and cruel. "Seeing as you've kept me company for seven years, I'll give you two choices. "First, you can abort the baby. I'll compensate you with a million dollars, and you can stay by my side. Second, keep it, take the kid, and disappear. The farther, the better." Why did I have to choose? I wanted both, so I took the million dollars and vanished from his world without a trace.

Mi esposo estaba trabajando durante las fiestas, otra vez. Lo habían enviado fuera de la ciudad para supervisar una de las operaciones portuarias de la Familia y una serie de casas de juego. Por lo tanto, decidí comprar un boleto y sorprenderlo. Solo quedaban asientos en clase ejecutiva. Mirando el precio de cinco cifras, apreté los dientes y me gasté los ahorros de todo un año. Todo para que luego ni siquiera pudiera averiguar cómo bajar la maldita bandeja. La socialité sentada a mi lado soltó una risa fría. —¿Nunca has volado en clase ejecutiva? Forcé una sonrisa incómoda. —Disculpa. Tú debes de ser… importante. Tienes esa aura. —¿Oh, yo? No. El hombre que me mantiene es el importante. Alquilaría un jet privado si yo se lo pidiera. La clase ejecutiva es prácticamente rebajarse. Parpadeé. —¿Un… benefactor? Eso es raro. —Para nada. Soy su secretaria. Cometo muchos errores. Le cuesta una fortuna. Me grita hasta que lloro. Y luego, bueno… llorar lleva a otras cosas. —Ella guiñó un ojo—. Ya sabes cómo es. —Qué curioso —dije, con la voz tensa—. Mi esposo tiene una asistente que le ayuda a manejar las cuentas de los muelles. También se equivoca mucho. —¿Estás casada? Me recorrió de arriba abajo con la mirada. —Mi hombre tiene una esposa de tu edad. Dice que está harto de ella. Que tocarla es aburrido. Dice que es mucho más emocionante el simple hecho de apartarme el cabello de la cara. Se inclinó más cerca. —Le dije que quería verlo para Año Nuevo. Así que le dijo a la esposa que tenía que trabajar. En ese momento, el diamante en su dedo atrapó la luz. Era idéntico al anillo de boda que yo había perdido. El cuerpo se me heló. No. Matteo solo era un ejecutor de bajo nivel. Un simple soldado en el que la Familia confiaba ocasionalmente para hacer operaciones menores: envíos en el muelle, apuestas clandestinas, nada más. ¿Cuándo se convirtió en un Don?
