Hector Rivera Coco

The Rossi family has a rule. If you want to be the next Donna, you have to prove yourself. Make three hundred million dollars, clean money, in a single year. All on your own, no family help. I spent ten years trying to do it for Vincent. I built ten companies from the ground up. But every single time, just as I was about to cross that finish line, something would go wrong. Everything would just… collapse. This year, I finally did it. I ran to his study, audit in hand, my heart hammering against my ribs. I thought I’d finally won. Instead, I learned my entire life was a lie. He handed my entire empire to Ava—my father's bastard. All because she supposedly saved his life once, and he wanted to make her the real Donna. I gave up. On him. On my family's dream of rising with his. Then I picked up the phone and called the Outfit in Chicago. "Your marriage proposal," I said. "I accept."

Mi matrimonio con Dante Moretti sorprendió a todos. Tengo un temperamento explosivo y nunca doy marcha atrás. Tras tres años de matrimonio, todo el submundo de Chicago sabía que estábamos siempre a punto de cortarnos el cuello. Excepto en la cama. Allí, nuestros cuerpos simplemente encajaban. El único momento en que no estábamos en guerra era cuando estábamos enredados en las sábanas, perdidos en una tormenta de besos desesperados y placer puro. Innumerables veces me dijo que estaba obsesionado con mi cuerpo, siempre justo en el momento en que se hundía en mí. Pensé que era su forma de decir que se estaba enamorando. Todo eso se derrumbó en una subasta, cuando me arrebató la reliquia de mi madre solo para dársela a ella: una chica de aspecto frágil llamada Ava. Fue entonces cuando me mostró una crueldad que nunca había visto. —Es hora de que pongas los pies en la tierra, Elara —había dicho, con la voz fría como el hielo—. Casarme contigo y acostarme contigo... todo fue solo para mantener la paz entre nuestras familias. Ava es a quien quiero proteger. Pero el día que finalmente me fui de Chicago, el día que anuncié nuestro divorcio al mundo... Ese Don de la mafia, frío y calculador, me persiguió como un hombre poseído.

I am one of the last of the merfolk, born with the ability to create Mermaid's Pearls. Pearls that can bring the dead back to life. After the werewolf, Kyle, saved me from human hunters, I would have done anything for him. He died nine times expanding his pack’s territory. Each time, my pearl brought him back. The ninth time, I was too weak to even stand. But the first thing he did when he woke up was pull a sexy omega she-wolf into his arms and flirt, "Baby, you smell incredible—not like Althea. Her scent does nothing for me." He glanced at my pale face, annoyed. "Go rest. Get ready for the next time. I'll need you again soon." The next time? He had no idea. There would be no next time. I only had nine pearls. And I'd just given him my last.

Cuando cumplimos tres años de casados, recibí una invitación para la boda de mi esposo; la novia era mi prima, Lina. Seguí la dirección que venía en la invitación y volé a Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, en cuanto llegué, vi a mi marido, Marco, el Don más joven de Italia, abrazando a Lina por la cintura mientras brindaban juntos. Varios fuegos artificiales estallaron en el cielo formando los nombres de los dos. Dentro de la capilla, sus hombres se reían y bromeaban. —En Italia se casó con Aurora y en Estados Unidos se va a casar con Lina. ¡El Don sí que sabe cómo quedarse con lo mejor de los dos mundos! —¿No que no sentía nada por Lina? La voz de Marco se escuchó por encima del ruido: —Al principio, en serio que no sentía nada por ella. Para mí era solo una niña, pero me buscó durante años. Nunca le importó que la ignorara, e incluso se quedó a mi lado los dos años que estuve paralítico, cuidándome. Aunque nunca la dejé entrar a mi corazón, no podía ignorarla para siempre. Los dos años que estuvo paralítico... Así que durante ese tiempo, mientras yo estaba en el desierto, comiendo tierra y durmiendo a la intemperie, luchando contra el cansancio solo para conseguir esos extractos medicinales raros para curar su columna herida, mi esposo había empezado un romance con mi prima. Me limpié las lágrimas, saqué los papeles del divorcio que Marco había firmado cuando recién se lastimó y puse mi firma. Si mi dedicación no vale nada comparada con que alguien esté ahí a su lado, no necesito a un hombre que puede traicionarme tan fácil.

Aku bersama sang bos mafia, Maxim, selama lima tahun. Sepanjang waktu itu, dia tak pernah menyembunyikan siapa wanita favoritnya. Clara, putri sopirnya. Sopirnya permah menahan peluru demi melindunginya. Dia menyebutnya sebagai "membayar utang". Bodohnya, aku mempercayainya. Dia memberi Clara perhiasan, mobil-mobil sport, dan dia bahkan membelikannya sebuah pulau. Tiga hari sebelum pernikahan, aku tahu dia memindahkan lokasi acara. Bukan ke tanah milik keluargaku di Silia, melainkan ke pulau itu. Pulau milik Clara. Alasannya? Clara klaustrofobia. Tak sanggup menghadapi pernikahan besar di dalam ruangan. Saat itu, aku sudah muak. Tiga hari kemudian, pernikahan tetap berlangsung di pulau itu. Namun, pengantinnya tak pernah muncul. Maxim dipermalukan di depan umum. Dia mengacak-acak kota, mencariku ke mana-mana. Saat itulah dia baru menyadari kebenarannya. Dia mengira akan menikah denganku. Nyatanya, aku menikahi musuh terbesarnya. Niko Valgana. Bos mafia dari Rasia. Dia meninggalkan Clara. Dia berlari ke kediaman milik keluargaku dan menunggu. Tujuh hari tujuh malam. Dengan bunga, sebuah cincin, dan segunung permohonan ampun.

The contractions were ripping me in two. My vision was going dark. My husband, Don Vittorio, the man who ruled Chicago, squeezed my hand. His dark eyes burned with love. "Just a little longer, mia cara. You'll meet our baby soon." Sweat poured down my face. I still found the strength to smile for him. Then a nurse walked in. She held a syringe. I thought it was to stop the pain. But Vittorio’s hand fell away. He took a single step back. The needle sank into my arm. I heard Vittorio’s voice. It was cold steel. "Dose her carefully. She holds on until midnight. Not a minute sooner. Not until after Ornella delivers." And then I knew. He thought I married him for the money. He was stopping my labor. All for a sick Falcone family rule: the first son born is the next heir. Pain tore through me. I reached for him. Tears streamed down my face. I begged him to stop. He bit his lip. His voice was pure ice. "My brother is dead. Ornella carries his only heir. You will do as you are told. You and your child will not steal his birthright." The drug hit my veins. The violent squeeze in my belly, like some invisible hand, just… stopped.

'That scent', King Hector said as he sniffed her. 'You are in your heat cycle aren't you?' 'I want you so much. Why cant I control myself around you?' Alexa murmured, feeling very hot and horny. What was happening to her? She hadn't wanted him to touch her previously, why was she suddenly out of control now? Her quavering lips parted to receive him as his head dipped, his eyes darkened dangerously with lust. The scent of her lust was intoxicating and a control freak like Hector, felt himself spiralling out of control, as their lips met in a heated kissing combat.

When the fire broke out, I called my husband, Hector. He didn't answer. Instead, he ran straight into the flames—to save my sister, Emma. They held each other, clinging to life, while I was trapped in the basement, watching my calls go ignored until all hope burned out. Afterward, Emma played innocent, twisting everything. She told him, "Hector, don't blame Sienna. She didn't leave me on purpose... she was just scared." Her lie made me the villain, and everyone bought it. Fueled by hatred, Hector spat, "She's so vicious—why didn't that fire just take her?" Three months later, the police found my body.
