How Did Jiraiya Die

Meu namorado escolheu se casar com a amiga de infância, que estava grávida antes do casamento. Tudo por causa da reputação dela. Quando perguntei ao Lucas, quase sem acreditar, o que seria de mim e do nosso bebê, ele respondeu numa calma gelada: — Isabela não é como você. Ela só tem a mim no mundo. Ela não suportaria os boatos de ser mãe solteira! Lucas simplesmente esqueceu que eu também não tinha ninguém além dele. Esqueceu que eu, assim como Isabela, também estava grávida antes de casar. Depois, quando todo mundo disse que nem o pai da criança eu sabia quem era, Lucas ficou ao lado de Isabela e assistiu tudo com frieza, totalmente indiferente à minha dor. Só ali eu entendi que até o amor tinha nível. Foi aí que decidi interromper aquela gravidez que nunca foi um erro. Mais uma vez, deixei o caminho livre para que Lucas pudesse se sentir o herói salvando a donzela em perigo que ele sempre amou.

Beta Max and I were at the Civil Affairs Bureau, ready to register our marriage. We were just waiting to take the final photo when he got a phone call and left. He abandoned me right there at the marriage registration office, leaving me stuck in an impossible situation. I called him—no answer. I messaged him—no reply. In the end, I had no choice but to call his childhood sweetheart’s number. Beta Max answered. “Louis, can you stop being so annoying? Grace twisted her ankle—I need to take care of her today. Stop calling and waking her up. We’ll reschedule the registration.” I bit my lip and murmured into the phone, “This makes it the seventh time we’ve rescheduled.” “So what? The Civil Affairs Bureau isn’t going anywhere—it’s not like it’s going to disappear!” My face was blank, but it felt like my heart was being carved open. A staff member looked at me with pity and asked, “Alpha Louis, are we still doing this?” I gave a small nod. “Yes. Let’s go through with it.”

La séptima vez que Simón Narváez faltó a nuestra cita para registrar el matrimonio, corté todo vínculo con él de forma radical. En las reuniones de amigos donde él asistía, yo faltaba deliberadamente. Cuando lo invitaron al acto del aniversario universitario, abandoné el lugar antes de su presentación. Si la empresa donde trabajaba optaba por colaborar con él, presentaba mi renuncia inmediata. Incluso en Nochevieja, cuando vino a mi casa para dar los saludos del Año Nuevo, inventé una excusa para no estar en casa. Lo bloqueé en el móvil, eliminé nuestros contactos mutuos, una ruptura total y definitiva. Ni yo lo contactaba, ni él tenía forma de encontrarme. Durante treinta años de mi existencia, había dedicado la mayor parte de mi tiempo a amarlo con devoción ciega, a cuidarlo con esmero. No fue hasta esa séptima vez en el registro civil, cuando una vez más me dejó esperando sola, que finalmente abrí los ojos. ¡Bastó ya de aquella situación! Preferí mil veces la soledad absoluta que seguir aguardando noche tras noche en un hogar vacío.

The Billionaire’s Sex Diet Obsession “He doesn’t believe in love. He only believes in sex—and now, she’s the one he can’t resist.” Alexander Voss is ruthless, rich, and dangerously irresistible. To the world, he is the untouchable billionaire CEO of Voss Enterprises. Cold. Calculated. Untamed. But behind his sharp suits and piercing eyes lurks a darker hunger. For Alexander, sex isn’t romance—it’s survival. His life is ruled by a strict diet of desire: no strings, no emotions, only raw, addictive pleasure. Then comes Elena Hayes. She’s young, broke, and drowning in desperation. With her mother in the final stages of cancer and hospital bills threatening to destroy her, Elena believes landing an internship at Voss Enterprises will be her salvation. Instead, it throws her into the path of a man whose obsessions are as dangerous as his power. One late-night encounter sparks the unthinkable. One dangerous proposition changes her life. One contract binds her innocence to his darkest cravings. He offers her money. She offers her body. Neither expects obsession to take root. But the more he tastes, the more he craves. Alexander—who once controlled everything—finds his carefully measured “sex diet” spiraling out of control. Because one taste of Elena was never enough. Now, she is more than temptation. She is the addiction he cannot escape. And as desire turns into dangerous obsession, Elena realizes it won’t just be her body at risk… it will be her heart.
