Incrível

Lara Dela Cruz was a normal girl—well, normal in the sense that she was an overworked call center agent who hated her boss, loved iced coffee, and had mastered the art of sarcasm to survive the horrors of capitalism. But one night, while rushing home, she slipped on a puddle (thanks to her horrible luck) and hit her head hard on the pavement. When she woke up… she wasn’t in her world anymore. Instead, she found herself in a medieval kingdom, in the middle of a chaotic slave auction. And before she could even scream in protest, she was bought by the most feared man in the entire empire—Duke Alistair Von Nacht, also known as the Tyrant Duke. Now, instead of dealing with rude customers, she had to deal with an emotionally constipated warlord who could kill her with a flick of his fingers. But what’s worse? She might be falling for the grumpy tyrant.

After a tragic accident killed her father and made her mother unconscious, Anna was thinking about how to raise money for her mother's treatment when she met Lewis Cole, an intelligent billionaire who needs a wife to secure his inheritance before his thirty-second birthday. Anna seems to be a perfect candidate, but she was not interested in Lewis because she has a crush on Lewis’s brother, Stefan. Desperate, Anna takes Lewis’s one-year contract marriage offer. She soon finds out that living with a traumatized man is not easy, especially when his presence awakens feelings she never knew she had. Lewis shows her affection in public but is cold in private. He tries to keep their relationship professional, but the woman he once kissed in a drunken state turns out to be more than a convenient bride. Their budding relationship was ruined when Annabelle was discovered pregnant... and Lewis is not the one responsible. An anonymous envelope of unexpected truths and plots of manipulation and betrayal comes to further shake the foundation of their trust. Can a marriage built on contract survive the truth, or will their pasts destroy their chance at a real future? Will they find love after marriage or separate and become strangers?

Meu casamento com Dante Lima foi, desde o início, um segredo. Casados em sigilo por três anos, eu era sua esposa escondida, sem direito de existir à luz do dia. Para o mundo, ele era o renomado cirurgião-chefe do Hospital Dona Presidente, um homem frio, impecável e inacessível. E eu? Apenas uma insignificante residente de anestesiologia ao seu lado. Incontáveis madrugadas, eu esperei sozinha no apartamento frio e vazio, acreditando que, com esforço e paciência, ele enxergaria o meu valor. Mas a realidade me deu um tapa na cara. — Pode, por favor, não ir atrás dela? — Supliquei, segurando a barra de sua camisa com mãos trêmulas. Ele riu, com desprezo: — Nosso casamento é apenas um casamento do acordo, Sra. Lima. Você levou o papel tão a sério assim? Dia após dia, eu assisti à sua gentileza destinada a outra mulher. Não fiz escândalos. Não chorei. Apenas deixei uma papelada de divórcio assinada na mesa e fui embora sem olhar para trás. Mais tarde, a neve cobriu a Cidade Quilemba. Todos sabiam que o Dr. Dante, o famoso cirurgião, estava ajoelhado na neve, olhos vermelhos, implorando por uma reconciliação: — Não podemos nos divorciar, meu amor. Por favor, não me deixe. Mas as lágrimas dele já não tinham calor algum para mim. Com um sorriso frio, respondi: — Dr. Dante, será que você também tem síndrome de atuação? Desculpe, mas eu não tenho tempo para participar do seu show. Nosso contrato terminou. Agora, se quiser me conquistar, entre na fila.
