Hector Dela Cruz

Isang gabi. Isang kasunduan. Isang halimaw na may mukha ng diyos. Desperada si Sierra Ramirez na mabayaran ang utang ng amang may sakit, kaya’t kahit labag sa loob, pumayag siyang ibenta ang sarili—sa halagang tinakda ng lalaking may pinaka-mabangis na reputasyon sa buong siyudad. Si Leonardo Dela Vega, kilala bilang “The Devil Billionaire,” ay hindi lang mayaman. Siya ang lalaking kinatatakutan at kinahuhumalingan ng lahat. Malamig. Mapanganib. At walang puso. “Isang gabi lang,” aniya. Pero hindi iyon ang naging kapalaran ni Sierra. Dahil matapos ang gabing iyon, isinara ni Leonardo ang lahat ng pinto ng kalayaan ni Sierra. Ginawa niya itong alipin ng kanyang kagustuhan—hindi lang sa katawan, kundi maging sa puso. Ngunit may mas malalim na dahilan ang pagkakabili niya sa dalaga. At kapag nalaman ni Sierra ang tunay na rason… ito ba'y magiging wakas ng kanyang pagkatao—o simula ng impyerno sa piling ng lalaking hindi niya kailanman kayang takasan?

Ethan was the perfect man-sweet, gentle, at mahal ni Alyanna. O iyon ang akala niya. Sa likod ng lahat ng iyon ay isang matinding pagtataksil na tuluyang sumira sa paniniwala niya sa pag-ibig.

Isang arranged marriage ang nagbuklod sa kanya kay Giovanni Octavian Russo, isang makapangyarihang business tycoon na sanay makuha ang lahat ng gusto niya. At ang gusto niya ngayon-si Arabella. Dalawang beses nang nauwi sa wala ang kanilang kasal dahil sa pagtutol niya. Pero sa pangatlong pagkakataon, hindi na siya pakakawalan ni Giovanni. Sa ilalim ng iisang bubong, unti-unting mabubuo ang damdaming hindi nila inaasahan. Mga lihim ang mabubunyag. Ngunit nang bumalik ang unang lalaking minahal ni Arabella-ang lalaking sumira sa kanya-napilitan siyang mamili. Between the past that broke her and the tycoon who refuses to let her go, will Arabella surrender to love... or lose herself again?

Book One: Protecting My Mafia Princess "I promise you if Trinity gives me the slip, then I am pinning her to a tree." Just thinking of her sends shivers up my spine and belief me that they're not the good shivering kind. I love a beautiful woman in my bed and to look at.

No instante em que eu renasci, a primeira coisa que eu fiz foi espalhar as "cinzas" da minha melhor amiga, Helen Doyle. Na última vida, ela engravidou antes do casamento e foi abandonada tanto pelo namorado quanto pela própria família. Lutou sozinha até o fim da gestação e, depois de sofrer horrores durante o parto, teve uma hemorragia massiva na sala de cirurgia. Com o último fio de vida, ela me implorou que eu adotasse o filho dela. Eu aceitei por pena. Para criá-lo, eu me atrasei nos estudos e fui obrigada a abandonar a escola. Sem escolha, eu levava meu filho adotivo, Aidan Sutton, comigo para o trabalho, suportando humilhações e olhares frios por onde passava. Por fim, quando ele fez dezoito anos, um olheiro descobriu o talento dele. Depois de um filme, ele virou sensação da noite para o dia e ainda levou o prêmio de Melhor Ator. Na cerimônia, Helen, que eu tinha visto morrer dezoito anos antes, entrou de braços dados com meu ex-namorado, Joe Shepherd. Fiquei tão atônita que, quando recobrei os sentidos, já tinha avançado para confrontá-la. Helen só me encarou e sorriu. — Parabéns. Você passou no teste. Eu ainda estava em choque quando Joe explicou, cheio de orgulho: — Helen é a filha do homem mais rico. Vai saber se você não se aproximou dela por dinheiro, né? Ele continuou, como se estivesse me fazendo um favor gigantesco: — Já que você criou bem o nosso filho, pode ser uma amiga comum dela. Se você criar ele até ele casar e ter filhos, aí sim você pode virar a melhor amiga da Helen. Minha cabeça explodiu. Como se eu quisesse ser amiga dela! Aquilo tinha sido dezoito anos da minha vida! Consumida por raiva e dor, com os olhos injetados de sangue, eu avancei nos dois. Mas Aidan correu do palco naquele instante e me empurrou com força. — Como ousa machucar meus pais? A raiva subiu direto para minha cabeça, e eu apaguei ali mesmo. Quando abri os olhos de novo… eu estava de volta ao dia em que Helen entrou em trabalho de parto.

[Synopsis] Ryella was the lawyer who swore she would never cross the line. Vladimir was the billionaire mafia king who lived by breaking every law. Nang mapilitan ang ambisyosong abogada na si Ryella Cruz na ipagtanggol ang pinakamapanganib na tao sa lungsod, umaasa siyang isang matinding labanan lamang sa loob ng courtroom ang kanyang haharapin. Ngunit ang hindi niya inaasahan ay ang labanan sa kanyang kalooban—ang pang-akit ng kapangyarihan ni Vladimir, ang pagtuto ng kanyang pagdampi, at ang tukso ng isang mundo na isinumpa niyang hindi niya kailanman papasukin. Si Vladimir Valente ay walang awa, hindi mapipigilan, at lubos na na-obses. Para sa kanya, si Ryella ay higit pa sa kanyang depensa—siya ang kanyang premyo, ang kanyang obsesyon, ang kanyang ipinagbabawal na reyna. Ang bawat sulyap, bawat pabulong na pangako, at bawat mapanganib na halik ay naghila sa kanya nang mas malalim sa imperyo ng pagnanais ni Vladimir. Ngunit sa isang mundong binuo sa dugo at pagtataksil, ang pag-ibig ang pinakamapanganib na krimen sa lahat. Kailangang magpasya ni Ryella: ipaglalaban ba niya ang hustisya, o susuko sa lalaking kayang sirain ang kanyang karera, ang kanyang moralidad, at ang kanyang puso? Isang kontrata. Isang paglilitis. Isang obsesyon na maaaring sumunog sa kanilang dalawa. Maligayang pagdating sa Imperyo ng Pagnanais—kung saan ang passion ay isang sandata, at ang pagsuko ay ang sukdulang kasalanan.

Kaiser has successfully hidden his past from his new pack, until a pregnant woman collapses at the pack's gates, calling his name before passing out. To his shock, the woman is Esmarie Cruz, his childhood best friend and the wife of the very man who drove Kaiser away from his old pack. Esmarie's life spiraled into chaos when Kaiser vanished in the middle of the night when they were eighteen after kissing her. Forced to marry his brother, she has endured relentless suffering at the hands of his family.

Burdened by the past, both struggle with the baggage they carry. Yet, amidst their turmoil, old feelings flicker—a testament to the saying that first love never truly fades. When Kaiser's brother resurfaces, threatening Esmarie and her children, Kaiser must decide: run away again or confront his past and family to protect Esmarie and avenge the wrongs done to him years ago. As old flames reignite, Kaiser and Esmarie are forced to confront their shared history and the love that never really went away.

Après la grande guerre entre les trois clans, les Humains, les Dragons et les Loups, les clans des Dragons et des Loups ont été frappés par une malédiction. Les descendants de sang pur des deux clans ne pouvaient plus hériter de la totalité de leur puissance. Afin de transmettre le pouvoir de leur lignée, les rois de chaque génération du clan des Dragons et des Loups devaient s'unir à une femme humaine possédant des Bénédictions.

Dévorée par la jalousie à mon égard, Lucia a fini par perdre la raison, et elle m'a poignardée à mort lors d'une réunion familiale. Lorsque j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'étais revenue à la veille du mariage organisé par les trois clans. Lucia s'est empressée d'entrer dans la chambre du roi des Loups d'Argent, Silas, et de coucher avec lui. Elle aussi avait renaît. Cependant, elle ignorait une chose essentielle : Silas était un loup au sang froid, qui prenait plaisir à torturer les Humains faibles.

Na cerimônia em que meu noivo, Mattew, seria coroado Alfa da alcateia Riverdale, ele rejeitou publicamente nosso vínculo de companheiros. Ele escolheu Claire, que já estava grávida do seu filho. — Claire e a família dela podem me ajudar a garantir meu título de Alfa — ele disse, sem o menor sinal de vergonha. — E eu preciso que ela me dê um herdeiro. E eu? — Apenas espere um ano. O título de Luna ainda será seu. Todos acharam que eu simplesmente aceitaria. Afinal, eu tinha sido desesperadamente devotada a ele por sete anos. Mas naquela mesma noite, eu fui embora para encontrar meu companheiro destinado da Segunda Chance. Três anos depois, voltei à alcateia Riverdale, acompanhando meu companheiro — o Rei Alfa — em sua viagem pelos territórios. Ele teve alguns assuntos de última hora para resolver e enviou outra pessoa para me buscar. Mas, no aeroporto, eu encontrei Mattew. Ele olhou para mim com pena. — Já terminou seu pequeno chilique? O filho da Claire precisa de uma babá. Você pode voltar e cuidar dele.

Meu companheiro destinado, Dexter, tornou-se o Rei Alfa quando seu irmão morreu. Ele herdou a coroa, o poder… e a companheira viúva do irmão, Jenica. Tudo porque eu, uma mestiça, falhei por anos em lhe dar um herdeiro de sangue puro. Ele me disse que precisava marcar Jenica, e a dor quase me despedaçou. Mas ele me segurou nos braços, beijou minhas lágrimas e jurou que seu lobo, seu destino, havia escolhido apenas a mim. Que eu sempre seria sua única e verdadeira Luna. Eu acreditei nele. E, ainda assim, ele passava todas as noites na cama dela. Então, Jenica engravidou. Enquanto a alcateia comemorava, Dexter me expulsou dos aposentos da Luna, tudo para que o filhote dela nascesse envolto na aura lunar mais pura da alcateia. À medida que eu sentia o nosso vínculo se desfazer, fio por fio doloroso, enviei uma última mensagem codificada a uma amiga no mundo humano. [Em quatro dias, me tire daqui.] Naquela noite, eu fiz uma escolha. Meus dias como companheira dele haviam acabado.
