How Did Makima Die

Six years into their marriage, Elara knew that her husband Damien had never loved her. In his eyes, Elara was just a scheming woman who went to great lengths to marry him. Damien hated Elara,so he didn't love their daughter. Their daughter had heart disease, and when she was critically ill, lying in the hospital waiting for her father's last visit, her father was spending time with his ex-girlfriend's dog on its birthday. The daughter cried and asked, 'Mommy, does Daddy not love me?' Elara couldn't bear to tell her daughter that it wasn't that her dad didn't like her; he didn't like her mom, so he didn't even like her daughter by extension. After their daughter's death, Elara decided to let Damien be with his ex-girlfriend but Damien wouldn't agree...

‘Callie,’ he began, his voice husky, ‘crying over your ex-boyfriend won’t solve anything.’ Confusion etched across her face, Callie furrowed her brows. ‘Then what will? ’ she demanded, her voice tinged with frustration. Elias leaned closer, his warm breath caressing her cheek. ‘You need to show him what he’s lost. Find a man who’s more handsome, more powerful, and richer than him. Then, make a grand entrance into his life with your new partner.’ Callie scoffed, her eyes rolling in disbelief. ‘Where am I supposed to find someone like that? ’ Elias’s fingers gently lifted her chin, locking their gazes together. ‘I can be that man,’ he said. ‘If you agree to be with me, I’ll protect you from any harm, including your ex-boyfriend.’ ********************************************** Elias Westwood, billionaire heir turned professional solider, a commanding presence on the battlefield, conceals a tender heart that beats for only one woman——Callie Hawthorne, a fearless surgical resident, possesses an innocent charm and wields her skills like a warrior in the operating theatre.

Als die Yacht sank und im Rettungsboot nur noch ein Platz frei war, wählte Zeno Grimm mich aus. Ich wurde gerettet, doch Quincy Quinn konnte nicht mehr auf das zweite Boot warten und ertrank im Meer; ihre Leiche wurde nie gefunden. Zeno tat so, als ob ihm das Schicksal von Quincy gleichgültig wäre, und bestand darauf, die Hochzeit mit mir wie geplant zu feiern. Fünf Jahre lang quälte er mich nach der Heirat und machte mich für Quincys Tod verantwortlich. Als ich nicht mehr ertragen konnte, was er mir antat, wollte ich mich scheiden lassen. Doch anstatt einer Trennung wählte er den gemeinsamen Tod. Als ich die Augen wieder öffnete, befand ich mich erneut am Tag des Unglücks auf der Yacht. Diesmal wollte ich die Chance zum Überleben jener Person lassen, die er wirklich liebte.

Na vida passada, fiz de tudo para ajudar minha melhor amiga, mas em fim, fui traída pelo meu noivo e meu irmão, que juntos destruíram minha empresa. Me lembrei de que caída na chuva, enquanto os três riam da minha dor. — Lorena, olha para você! Igual a um cachorro abandonado! — Eles zombaram, cruéis. Mas, num piscar de olhos, voltei no tempo. Estava três anos atrás, na reunião decisiva da licitação. Naquela época, minha empresa ainda era pequena. Meu irmão e noivo fingiam se importar com ética, dizendo que eu não devia usar as conexões das famílias Duarte e Nogueira. Porém, pelas costas, davam o melhor projeto para "minha amiga" só para vê-la sorrir feliz.

Kurz vor unserer Paarungszeremonie erzählte mir mein Gefährte, Alpha Damien, er müsse eine Omega aus unserem Rudel, Seraphina, vorübergehend markieren. Er behauptete, sie hätte die Mondkrankheit und würde sterben, wenn er sie nicht markierte. Ich wehrte mich dagegen, aber am nächsten Tag zog er Seraphina direkt in das Penthouse des Packhauses ein. Die Suite, die für die zukünftige Luna bestimmt war. Meine Suite. Um mich zu beruhigen, ging er sogar auf die Knie, mit roten Augen, als er versprach: „Sobald sie in Sicherheit ist, werde ich die Markierung entfernen. Du wirst immer noch meine einzige Luna sein.“ Aber dann suchte mich Seraphina auf, mit einem medizinischen Bericht in der Hand. Sechs Wochen schwanger. Sie hatten ihre Markierungszeremonie bereits lange abgehalten, bevor Damien überhaupt zu mir kam. Mein Herz zerfiel zu Asche. Mein Stift grub sich in den Kalender und ritzte ein wütendes X über das Datum, das für unsere Paarungszeremonie bestimmt war. Dann öffnete ich meinen Laptop und antwortete auf die E-Mail der Europäischen Gilde der Lorbeerheiler. „Ich nehme Ihre Einladung an. Ich reise am Tag der Paarungszeremonie ab.“
