Honey Lemon Soda Ch 72 소설 & 이야기

Mi esposo era un hombre de emociones intensas. Para mantener contenta a su hermana adoptiva, le asignaba millones cada año para que los gastara en lujos. Se preocupaba por su bienestar. Cada noche se sentaba a su lado, asegurándose de que se calmara. Luego, cuando me dispararon y estaba sangrando abundantemente, necesitando atención médica inmediata, él permaneció completamente indiferente. En cambio, envió a todo el equipo médico a atender a su angustiada hermana adoptiva. Usé las pocas fuerzas que me quedaban para llamar a mi esposo. La llamada se conectó. Su voz, teñida de irritación, respondió: —¿Qué pasa ahora? Estás bien, perfectamente saludable. ¿Por qué necesitarías un doctor? —Escucha, Sofía me necesita. Los recursos médicos de nuestra familia son limitados. Para cosas menores, simplemente aguanta. Mi corazón se hundió, como si se hubiera convertido en hielo. Él realmente era un hombre de emociones intensas. Solo que la persona por la que de verdad se preocupaba nunca había sido yo.

Five years of marriage, and as the pack's Luna, I've never been to a single big celebration. Every Moonlight Festival, I spent it alone at home. It's simply because my mate told me the pack has a rule: wolves not raised within the pack cannot join pack gatherings. Even Lunas can't. To follow this rule, I endured my wolf spirit's unease and felt lonely for five solid years. Until the eve of another Elder Gathering, I stumbled upon a post from his first love on social media. Through another woman's account, I saw my mate. She posted pictures with my mate. For five years, at every Elder Gathering, they were side-by-side, never apart. That's when I realized, it wasn't that he couldn't make an exception. It was just that the one he'd make an exception for wasn't me.

The wedding's in half an hour, and my fiancé's assistant, this woman, just hands me this paper. Rule number one: No physical contact with him outside, not unless he explicitly permits it. Rule number two: Intimacy is to occur only when he initiates it. She is obligated to satisfy his desires at least once a month. Rule number three: He can demand his due at any time, any place, and she cannot refuse. ... After I finished reading this entire two-page contract, I had to fight to keep a smile on my face. Swallowing the fire in my gut, I called my fiancé. "Marcus, what the hell is this?" "What do you mean, 'If he fathers a child, she must raise it, no matter who the mother is'?"

Ever since she was two, Elara Vane became her twin sister's personal blood bank after the girl was diagnosed with a rare genetic defect. Doctors predicted her sister wouldn't live past eighteen, so her parents and brother doted on her, putting her first in everything. They even blamed Elara, accusing her of "stealing" her sister's nutrients in the womb, claiming it made her sickly. In her past life, no one in the family loved her. Only her fiancé, Dante, truly stayed by her side. But Elara never expected Dante's love had its own agenda. Until her sister accidentally fell off a cliff and needed a full blood transfusion. Dante signed the consent form without hesitation, sending her to the operating table to be the donor. As her blood drained and her consciousness faded, Elara swore that in another life, she would never be her sister's blood bag again! The next time she opened her eyes, she was back to the day after her engagement to Dante...

I dropped off lunch for my husband at the Conglomerate HQ, only to bump into my ex from two years ago. The man who'd ditched me at our marking ceremony to go "take care of his sister." I'd changed my hair, my makeup, everything. But he spotted me in the crowd as if it were nothing. "Elena, I'm back to finish what we started. Happy now?" I felt that familiar knot of doubt in my gut. "Sorry, who are you again...?" He let out a shaky laugh. "Babe, come on. Don't be mad. I didn't mean to leave you hanging. The ceremony back then? Ivy's wolf spirit was too weak. I had to find the Wolf God ruins to pray for her. She's my only sister; I couldn't just watch her fade." "Yeah, the healing took a while. So, I got myself an assignment overseas." "Anyway, I just got her wolf spirit stabilized, and I rushed back to bring you home to the packhouse!" That's when it hit me. This scruffy guy, with the stubble and all… this was my ex-fiancé. No. Did nobody tell him? The night he walked out on me? I married his uncle. Alpha Damian. The Wolf King.

In my past life, I walked away from an invitation to the elite Academy just to take the fall for Luca. He held my hand, swearing he’d get me out. Swearing he’d keep me safe for the rest of my life. Instead, I rotted in a cell until I died. While I was bleeding out on the cold floor, Luca was marrying the Don’s daughter, living the high life. When I opened my eyes, I was back. Luca was sixteen again, face pale as a sheet, shoving a bloody gun into my hands. "Elena, you're a lifesaver." I slapped the piece away. "Dream on. I ain't taking the rap for you this time."

La boda es en media hora, y la asistente de mi prometido, esta mujer, acaba de entregarme este papel. Regla número uno: Nada de contacto físico con él en público, a menos que él lo permita explícitamente. Regla número dos: La intimidad solo ocurrirá cuando él la inicie. Ella está obligada a satisfacer sus deseos al menos una vez al mes. Regla número tres: Él puede exigir lo que le corresponde en cualquier momento, en cualquier lugar, y ella no puede negarse. … Cuando terminé de leer el contrato completo de dos páginas, tuve que esforzarme para que la sonrisa no se me rompiera. Tragándome el fuego que me ardía en el estómago, llamé a mi prometido: —Marcus, ¿qué demonios es esto? ¿Cómo que «si él engendra un hijo, ella debe criarlo, sin importar quién sea la madre»?

Pernikahannya tinggal setengah jam lagi, tapi asisten tunanganku, wanita ini, baru saja menyerahkan selembar kertas padaku. Aturan nomor satu. Tidak boleh ada kontak fisik dengannya di luar, kecuali dia secara langsung mengizinkannya. Aturan nomor dua. Keintiman hanya boleh terjadi jika dia yang memulainya. Aku wajib memenuhi hasratnya setidaknya sekali dalam sebulan. Aturan nomor tiga. Dia bisa menuntut haknya kapan saja, di mana saja, dan aku tidak boleh menolak. ... Setelah aku selesai membaca seluruh kontrak dua halaman ini, aku harus berjuang keras mempertahankan senyum di wajahku. Menelan amarah yang membara di dalam perutku, aku menelepon tunanganku. "Alex, ini apaan sih?" "Apa maksudnya dengan kalimat kalau mempelai pria memiliki anak, mempelai wanita wajib membesarkannya, tanpa memedulikan siapa ibunya?"

My husband is a man with powerful emotions. To keep his adopted sister content, he allocates millions annually for her to spend lavishly. He's concerned about her well-being. Each night, he sits by her, ensuring she settles down. Later, when I was shot and bleeding heavily, requiring immediate aid, he remained utterly indifferent.He directed the entire medical team to his distraught adopted sister instead. I used my remaining strength to call my husband. The phone connected. His voice, tinged with irritation, answered: "What is it now? You're fine, perfectly healthy. Why would you need a doctor?" "Listen, Sofia needs me. Our family's medical resources are spread thin. For minor issues, just bear with it." My heart sank, feeling as if it had turned to ice. He truly is a man with powerful emotions. It's just that the one he truly cares about has never been me.

One week before our wedding, my fiancé, my father’s own consigliere, sold him out.He set him up for a FBI raid. My father died in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, and the once-great Moretti family collapsed overnight. In my darkest hour, Dominic, the Don of the New York Luciani family, showed up with a crew of mercenaries. He didn't just take care of the rat; he gave me total protection. He obsessed over me for three years, even tattooing my name over his heart. I fell for it. I believed he loved me. I let my guard down and stayed by his side, serving as the lead perfumer for the coldest man in the city. Until today. Outside the wine cellar, I overheard him talking to his rival. "Old man Moretti died never knowing who had leaked his location," Dominic said. "But imagine if that stupid woman, Elena, found out," the rival mocked. "If she knew the man who killed her father was the same husband kissing her forehead every night... would she lose her mind?" My hand froze on the cellar door. The rival’s laughter came through the cracks: "You’re cold-blooded, Dominic! Elena thinks you’re her savior. She even wants to give you an heir. She’d never dream the raid that destroyed her life was actually your offering to Sienna."
