Héroe Inmortal

"Ten million." He uttered calmly like he was discussing the weather. Bella's steps slowed behind him. He continued with a nonchalant shrug. "Ten million. After six months, you'll walk away with ten million." She took a deep breath, heart pounding as she spun around to face him, speechless. Ten million wasn't just a lot. It was life-changing. Turning, he met her glare, a knowing smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. "All you have to do is be my wife – pretend rather." ________ Arabella Carver always has things under control but finds out she isn't as lucky when everything comes crashing down. She is betrayed by her fiance, on the brink of eviction, and with her mother's life hanging by a thread, she's desperate for help. But as she tries to get the help she needs, only one person is willing to offer and it is none other than Adrian Davidson. The first man to claim her heart only to shatter it like it meant nothing. However, there is a catch to his generosity. He needs a wife to appease his grandmother, and Arabella happens to be her ideal choice so he gives her the papers that bind them. A marriage contract. With little choice and a grudge in her heart, she signs them. Besides, what could go wrong? It is, after all, just a contract. But what happens when old wounds resurface and sparks begin to ignite?

Meu casamento era só fachada. Por trás das juras de amor do meu marido, existia apenas covardia e interesse. Ele me entregou, como se fosse um presente, nas mãos de Ícaro Figueiredo — o CEO frio e poderoso da SkyLança. A partir daquela noite, minha vida virou um jogo perigoso. Sob a luz do dia, eu era apenas a assistente dedicada de Ícaro. Mas, quando as luzes se apagavam, eu me tornava sua obsessão secreta — e também sua prisioneira. Ícaro mandava em tudo: meu trabalho, meus horários, até minha liberdade. Ele exigiu meu divórcio, impôs um contrato frio — um ano ao lado dele, sem direito a casamento, sem ilusões de amor. Ele era arrogante. Sempre me dizia que eu não era digna, que não merecia sonhar com um final feliz ao lado dele. Quando enfim o contrato terminou, achei que estava livre do meu cárcere dourado. Um novo amor apareceu — doce, honesto, disposto a me dar o mundo. Eu aceitei seu pedido de casamento, acreditando que finalmente teria paz. Mas, bem no altar, Ícaro explodiu. Rasgou um acordo de bilhões na frente de todos, jogando as páginas ao vento como se fossem neve sobre meu véu. O olhar dele era puro fogo — raiva, desejo, posse. Diante da plateia perplexa, ele declarou: — Quero ver quem tem coragem de roubar minha mulher! Ele sempre disse que não me amava, mas nunca me deixou ir. No jogo de poder e paixão, ele caiu na própria armadilha: virou prisioneiro do seu próprio desejo. Desta vez, não há contrato. Apenas uma certidão de casamento. E ele deixou claro: — Quero você pra sempre. Só minha. Só me amando.

BLURB: Sa isang malaki at mamahaling restaurant na pag-aari ni Richmond De Guzman, nagtrabaho ako roon bilang baguhang waitress. Hindi ko inasahan na mapalapit ako sa kaniya—minahal siya nang hindi ko sinasadya. Naramdaman ko rin ang attention niya na tila sumasagot sa nararamdaman ko. Tunay na naging malapit kami sa isa’t isa hangang sa isang araw... para akong pinag-sakluban ng langit at lupa. Nang sabihin niya sa akin na dumalo sa opisina niya sumunod ako, at isang nakakawindang na pangyayari ang aking nakita; si Natch at siya nakita kong nagháhálikan. Sobra akong nagsisi, nagalit sa sarili na umasa ako kahit walang kami. Ang mas masakit pa dahil may nakaraan pala sila. Ang dami kong nalaman na sobrang hirap tanggapin. Siguro ganoon nga talaga kapag assuming ka, sinasampal rin sa ‘yo ang isang bagay na ina-assume mo. Sa sobrang sama ng loob, pinili ko na lang umalis—hindi nagpaalam. Sumama ako sa mga magulang ko papuntang Singapore. Ilang taon ang dumaan, muli kaming pinagtagpo ng tadhana. Talagang hindi na tulad ng dati ang ‘ngayon,’ maliban sa nararamdaman ko. Bakit hindi ito nagbago? Gusto kong maging malaya, pero ang hiyaw ng puso ko ay iba. Dapat ko bang pairalin ang pride ko o sasabihin ko sa kaniya ang totoo?

Quatre années de mariage. Sa seule signature m'a rendue libre. Il n'a jamais su ce qu'il signait. Je suis Sophie Moreau, l'épouse invisible de Julien Moreau, héritier de la famille mafieuse la plus puissante de la ville. Mais le jour où Victoria, son amour d'enfance, brillante et privilégiée, est revenue, j'ai enfin compris : je n'avais toujours été qu'une passagère. Alors, j'ai joué mon dernier coup. J'ai glissé les papiers sur son bureau — un divorce habilement déguisé en simples formulaires universitaires. Julien a signé sans même y jeter un second regard, sa plume griffonnant la page avec autant de désinvolture qu'il en avait eu pour notre mariage. Il n'a pas vu qu'il mettait fin à notre mariage. Mais je suis partie avec bien plus que ma liberté. Sous mon manteau, je portais l'héritier qu'il n'avait jamais imaginé… un secret qui pourrait le détruire le jour où il comprendrait ce qu'il avait perdu. À présent, Julien, qui ne m'avait jamais remarquée, retourne le monde pour me retrouver. Du sommet de son penthouse jusqu'aux bas-fonds, il fouille chaque recoin, soulève chaque pierre. Sauf que je ne suis pas une proie apeurée qui attend qu'on la capture. Je me suis reconstruite hors de sa portée — là où aucun membre de Moreau ne peut me suivre. Cette fois, je ne supplierai pas pour son amour. C'est lui qui suppliera pour le mien.

“Heidi, call me a monster. Call me a beast. Fuck, call me the Devil. It does not change the way I feel about you.” “How about the way ‘I’ feel about you?” I whisper. “This hatred—built from love, passion… trust.” Hunter gently takes my hand and interlocks it with his before placing both on his chest. He then leans down to bump his forehead on mine, making me close my eyes and sigh as it drives in me sensations that cause me to crumble. “I love you, Heidi…” he whispers—doesn’t do good for my eyes bleeding more tears. “…and I will let the world burn for you.” ~ H E I D I I’ve lived twenty-two years but never seen a man like Hunter. He has killed everyone I know and is bound to do more, which is why I’m determined to stop him, if only I wouldn’t have to deal with these emotions—old feelings clashing with new ones; love and hate—that make me want to squash his heart one moment, then piece it up the next. But I know I can’t hang between these feelings forever. I have to choose, and quickly. H U N T E R I am told she is dangerous, a being forbidden from existence. Yet, I find myself protecting her. I shouldn’t, but I do. Then I realize she isn’t the threat. Where danger lies is with my feelings—ones that I must not have, that will be my downfall. To be that creature feared by all, I need to be the man with nothing to lose. But now I have so much to lose. Even nature has fated our Love to be doomed and will see to its vow that one of us is destroyed.

Ce qu’elle croyait perdu depuis longtemps renaît dans l’abandon le plus brut : le goût du risque… et du désir. La première de plusieurs histoires érotiques où l'envie se mélange à l'obsession puis devient un volcan de passion .

오빠는 정말 이상할 정도로 집착이 강한 사람이었다. 내가 열 살이 되던 해, 부모님이 돌아가셨고 나는 오빠를 구하려다가 두 다리를 다쳤다. 나는 오빠의 유일한 가족이었고, 나는 그에게 무엇보다 소중한 존재였다. 그의 세계에서 나는 건드리면 안 되는 마지노선이었다. 그 후, 오빠는 내 다리를 비웃던 사람들의 뼈를 직접 부수었고, 나에게 손을 대거나 나를 괴롭힌 자는 처참하게 살해했다. 나중에 오빠는 우리 집의 재산을 되찾았고, H시에서 누구도 감히 건드릴 수 없는 ‘저승사자’라는 이름을 얻게 되었다. 하지만 그 누구보다 나를 아끼고, 공주처럼 대했다. 모두가 알고 있었다. 고민우의 여동생은 건드려서는 안 된다는 사실을. 오빠는 내 다리를 치료하기 위해 해외 최고의 병원에 나를 보냈다. 내가 다시 서서 걸을 수 있게 되었을 때, 어느 날 오빠의 결혼 청첩장을 받게 되었다. [민희야, 곧 우리에게 새로운 가족이 생길 거야.] 나의 예비 형수님, 백이슬은 명문가의 아가씨인 데다가 아주 따뜻하고 착한 사람이라고 들었다. 나는 기쁜 마음으로, 엄마가 남겨준 옥팔찌를 예쁘게 포장해 선물로 준비했다. 그날, 나는 고운 옷을 입고 그녀를 만나러 갔다. 하지만 백이슬은 갑자기 나를 폐건물로 끌고 갔다. “이 여우 같은 년아, 감히 내 남자를 유혹해? 내가 네 얼굴을 찢어버릴 거야!” 백이슬은 엄마의 유품인 옥팔찌를 깨뜨린 것도 모자라, 나의 팔과 다리를 부러뜨렸고 내 얼굴마저 찢었다. 그리고 열 명이 넘는 남자들을 데려왔다. 그들은 나를 산채로 괴롭혔고 나는 그 고통 속에서 숨을 거두게 되었다. 백이슬은 나를 작은 상자에 담아 오빠에게 주었다. “자기야, 이건 내가 준비한 결혼 선물이야. 마음에 들어?”
