Ishtar Familia

"If it's destiny... I would rather choose to die... than to not have you love me back." ........... "Why him...?", Anna shook Mia's shoulder. "It only has to be him.", Mia firmly replied. "Are you aware of what you are doing...? Are you sure what you are throwing yourself into...?", Anna shouted. "I'm willing though.", her words left her lips. ................. "Now...are you still willing...?", Anna questioned. "I...I...though I can make him love me...for the whole 3 years...h...he...", Mia's voice trembled as she couldn't speak anymore. "Mia...you are not that helpless 20 years girl anymore...you have right to choose your happiness...leave that damn family of yours too...I will be your family.", Anna hugged her. ................ "Why do you want a divorce now...?", He was still the same...unbothered. His handsome face and heavenly features just remained as distant as he was before. His hair was combed perfectly taking her breath to see the view in front of her...but her heart was broken beyond to admire the view in front. Memories jolted her... Been 3 years...never once he cared for her...but on their wedding anniversary...he came back late...as she was waiting for him like she always did...but before she could realize...He scooped her in his arms as she walked upstairs to the bedroom she never dared to enter. The butler and his wife were left speechless seeing what just happened. Upstairs. He pinned her to the door, he stared at the sparkling eyes that stared at him...her beautiful fairy face was in shock. His throat felt dry...as his right thumb moved recklessly on her trembling lips. He gulped down the saliva after a sigh...he leaned towards her as his lips touched her collarbone... which made her tremble... ..........

Dana Montecarlo woke up from a 5-year coma due to a severe traffic accident. She woke up from her hospital bed, with her loving husband on her side, Garrett Montecarlo.

In the end, as soon as they finally saw each other, one of them immediately forgets about the other. Lahat, lahat ay nakalimutan. Ang nakaraan, ang saya at lungkot, maging ang takot at poot. Ang lahat ng napag-usapan, kabilang ang kanilang pangako. "You... Ikaw 'yan 'di ba?! Amiel?! Ano ba'ng na-" "W-Who are you? Italy... Sino 'to?" Lahat ay nasira dahil lang sa isang car accident. What will they do now? Ano ang maaaring gawin ni Kayden upang maalala siya ng dating kaibigan? At may pag-asa pa nga bang maalala siya ni Amiel? O tuluyan na niyang makalilimutan ang lahat?

Or, so he thought. * Damian meticulously leads a double life— an affluent billionaire on the outside and a well-aged lycan on the inside. He has been in concealment since the treacherous murder of his Luna years ago. Damian remains haunted by the depth of the betrayal. His pent-up rage is reignited when Ishtar comes along, an ordinary human who bears the face of the traitor who murdered his mate. A doppelganger of the lycan who orchestrated the ruin of his pack in the past. Not only is he surprised by Ishtar's audacity, but his inactive wolf rages for the first time in a long while, claiming she is the answer. The little human crashes down his high walls, torturing him with memories of the past. Just as he suspects, Ishtar is connected to his past and is the key to relieving him of the excruciating weight he bears. There's a tinge of passion beneath the hard-surfaced hate, and it intensifies the more he tries to quench the fire. # Ishtar has spent years of her life on the street, being a petty thief, since she left the orphanage at eighteen. Everything changes when she bumps into Damian and assaults him. She falls into his world without being aware of his end game and identity. She is the old soul's plaything and his last chance at redemption. Her assumptions about herself become a sham when she's open to the world of supernaturals. Humans are not built to last, but there's more to this one. What happens when Ishtar isn't the only doppelganger around? Who stops the past from burning into existence again?

***”You belonged to me the moment you were dragged into my bed and crowned beside me, consort,” Regaleon’s eyes darkened. He released her abruptly, as if touching her further offended and disgusted him. “So, you don’t get to die. Instead, you will live. You will smile. You will stand beside me as Queen, and if you so much as breathe the wrong way, I will kill you.”*** A child born in blood is an omen. A child who grows frail and sickly as she ages is worse. Ishtar Reyez’s father was murdered. Her future was stolen. They threw her from a cliff and called it fate. But fate had other plans. Reborn in the body of Lillia Silvervein, a foreign queen bound to a ruthless Alpha King—Regaleon Dravenhart, Ishtar awakens with a stolen life, a shattered past, and a fury that refuses to die. Surrounded by enemies, watched by subjects who despise her, and married to a man who sees her as nothing more than a political weapon, she learns one truth quickly: Weakness is a death sentence. As ancient power stirs within her and a long-silenced wolf finally answers her call, Ishtar must choose; to either remain a pawn in another man’s game, or become the reckoning no one saw coming. They took her life. They silenced her wolf. Now, she will take everything back. The Alpha King’s Mate is not a bride. She is an Ancient, and her destiny is revenge.

Si tú y el primer amor de tu esposo sufren un accidente al mismo tiempo, ¿a quién rescataría él? Alejandro García alzó a su primer amor en brazos y se marchó. La vida se desvaneció: el hijo se había perdido y, con él, murió por dentro Sofía Herrera. Un acuerdo le había dado a Sofía la oportunidad de casarse con el hombre al que más quería. Todos sabían que había conseguido ese matrimonio luego de romper la relación entre Alejandro y su primer amor. Todo para quedárselo. Ella creyó que el tiempo lo haría valorarla, que eventualmente llegaría el momento en que él la mirara de verdad. Hasta el día en que tuvo que enterrar con sus propias manos los restos del bebé de tres meses que nunca llegó a nacer. Fue entonces cuando finalmente abrió los ojos. —Divorciémonos. Un acuerdo sencillo, para quedar a mano. Tres meses más tarde, bajo las luces brillantes y entre el murmullo de la multitud, ella subió al escenario a recibir un reconocimiento. Él la miró con sorpresa por algunos segundos antes de voltearse hacia los presentes con calma y decir: —Así es, ella es mi esposa. —¿Esposa? Sofía dibujó una sonrisa en sus labios mientras le pasaba el acuerdo de divorcio. —Disculpe, señor García, ahora soy su exesposa. Ese hombre siempre tan sereno y frío perdió el control en ese instante. Con los ojos inyectados en sangre y la voz quebrada, gritó: —¿Exesposa? ¡Yo jamás acepté eso!

Cuatro años de matrimonio. Cuando la radiante Paola Quiroz regresó, Alicia Cárdenas por fin entendió que la frialdad de su esposo en la cama no era cuestión de naturaleza. A ella apenas le daba trescientos dólares al mes para sus gastos, pero por Paola era capaz de invertir trescientos mil dólares en investigación científica. Amar o no amar quedaba expuesto con una claridad humillante. Emiliano Valdés no soportaba la idea de que Paola quedara atrapada en la rutina del matrimonio y perdiera su brillo. En cambio, obligó a Alicia a renunciar a su empleo de cuatrocientos dólares mensuales para quedarse en casa como ama de casa, resignada a vivir en la sombra. Lo que Emiliano no sabía era que Alicia no era una empleada común... Ella estaba a cargo de un proyecto confidencial de investigación a nivel nacional; su rango era altísimo, y Paola apenas alcanzaba para ser su asistente. Emiliano tampoco sabía que lo que había firmado a la ligera era el acuerdo de divorcio que pondría fin a su relación. Un mes después, su identidad dentro del proyecto se hizo pública, y el acta de divorcio también llegó a manos de Emiliano. Siempre amable y correcto, él rompió el acta en pedazos, pasando de la incredulidad a los ojos enrojecidos de furia. —¿Quién, aparte de mí, va a querer a una mujer divorciada como ella? El que se aferraba al orgullo era él; el que terminó arrodillado, suplicando volver a casarse, también fue él. Cuando volvieron a encontrarse, Alicia iba del brazo del máximo heredero de una de las familias más poderosas, y al mirar a Emiliano ya no había en su expresión ni la más mínima emoción. Gabriel Pineda alzó una ceja y, mostrándole a Emiliano su acta de matrimonio con Alicia, declaró: —Haz el favor de comportarte. Ella ahora es mi esposa.

El día que Olivia Muñoz y Adrián Vargas cumplían cinco años de casados, Paulina Castillo regresó al país. Esa misma noche,Olivia descubrió a su esposo en el baño, entregado a sí mismo mientras gemía el nombre de su exnovia. Así que esa era la razón por la que Adrián no la había tocado en cinco años de matrimonio. —Pobre Pau, regresó sola y la está pasando mal —se justificó él—, solo la estoy ayudando como amigo. —Entiendo. —Le prometí a Pau que la acompañaría a la playa por su cumpleaños —insistió en otra ocasión—, solo estoy cumpliendo una vieja promesa. —Está bien. —Para esta cena necesito una acompañante que esté a la altura, y Pau es más adecuada que tú. —Ajá, ve. Cuando ella dejó de enojarse, de llorar y de hacer dramas, a él le pareció extraño y le preguntó: —¿Por qué no te enojas? Por supuesto que ya no se enojaba, porque ella también estaba a punto de irse. Harta de un matrimonio estancado y sin vida, había mejorado su idioma en secreto, aprobado sus exámenes y enviado solicitudes para estudiar en el extranjero. El día que le aprobaron la visa, le aventó los papeles del divorcio. —No seas ridícula —se burló Adrián—, si me dejas, ¿cómo vas a sobrevivir? Dio media vuelta, se compró un boleto de avión y se fue, cortando toda comunicación. La siguiente vez que él supo de ella fue por un video que se hizo viral en redes: llevaba un vestido rojo espectacular y bailaba apasionadamente en el extranjero... Adrián se puso furioso. —Aunque te vayas al fin del mundo, ¡te voy a traer de vuelta!
