Im The Max Level Newbie

Das Unternehmen von Anna Krügers Vater stand kurz vor dem Bankrott. Daher verheiratete ihre Stiefmutter sie mit einem einflussreichen Mann – Felix Bauer. Das Problem: er lag im Koma. Alle warteten darauf, dass sie Witwe wurde und die Bauers sie vor die Tür setzten. Doch schon bald erwachte Felix unerwartet aus dem Koma. Nach seinem Erwachen war er voller Wut über die Zwangsehe, düster und gewalttätig: „Anna, selbst wenn du mein Kind erwartest, werde ich es mit meinen eigenen Händen töten!“ Vier Jahre später kehrte Anna mit ihren hochbegabten Zwillingen – einem Jungen und einem Mädchen, ins Land zurück. Sie zeigte auf Felix' Gesicht in einer Wirtschaftssendung und warnte ihre Kinder: „Haltet euch von diesem Mann fern. Er hat geschworen, euch beide umzubringen.“ Noch am selben Abend hackte sich einer der Zwillinge in Felix' Computer und hinterließ eine Kampfansage: „Du Mistkerl, komm und krieg mich doch, wenn du dich traust!“

Meine Adoptivschwester Hanna Bauer wurde beim Pharmaziewettbewerb durch das Elixier, das sie mir gestohlen hatte, schlagartig berühmt. Niemand hatte geahnt, dass dieser Wettbewerb eigentlich zur Brautschau für den von Geburt an zeugungsunfähigen, grausam hässlichen Schlangenprinzen diente. Noch in derselben Nacht überbrachte die Schlangensippe ein Heiratsangebot: Man verlangte die Bestienfrau, die dieses Elixier gebraut habe, zur Gemahlin. Mein Verlobter geriet außer sich vor Panik und vollzog noch in derselben Nacht mit Hanna die Bindung. Als die Sache besiegelt war, schwang Hanna triumphierend ihre Hüften und zeigte mir das wolförmige Siegel auf ihrem unteren Rücken. „Dein Verlobter gehört jetzt mir... Was wirst du nur tun, Lea? In drei Tagen bist du fünfundzwanzig – wenn dich niemand heiratet, wirst du einfach irgendeinem gewalttätigen, heimatlosen Bestienkrieger zugeteilt.“ Doch sie irrte sich. Ich hatte eine andere Wahl. Ich ging zu unseren Eltern, die im Empfangssaal die von Hanna verursachte Misere ausbügeln mussten. „Wenn sie den Schlangenprinzen nicht heiraten will – dann nehme ich ihn!“

Aber jedes Mal, wenn Herr Schmidt auftauchte, tauchte die Figur des Blitz-Ehemannes auf, woraufhin der Blitz-Ehemann erklärte: „Das muss ein Zufall sein!“ Susanne glaubte es, bis sie eines Tages das gleiche hübsche Gesicht von Herr Schmidt und dem Blitz-Ehemann sah. Susanne ballte die Fäuste, biss die Zähne zusammen: „Das ist ein Zufall?!!!“ Im Internet kursierte das Gerücht, dass das Schmidt-Kraftpaket, Herr Schmidt, sich in eine verheiratete Frau verliebt hatte. Der Schmidt-Klan widerlegte das Gerücht sofort: „Gerücht! Es ist definitiv ein Gerücht, die Familie Schmidt würde niemals eine Ehe zerstören!“ Doch dann traten Herr Schmidt mit einer Frau in Erscheinung: „Es ist kein Gerücht, meine Frau ist tatsächlich verheiratet!“

On the day before the marking ceremony, my Alpha mate, Zev Briarwood, is wounded in a battle and loses his memory. He forgets everything… including me.

I sketch jewelry designs day and night, selling them just to earn money and to find every possible memory cure.
