It Is Eleven O'clock

My husband, Lucas Gabriel, and I were on our way to sell paintings when we got robbed. I used all my strength to fight off the robbers. I wanted to keep Lucas’s hands safe so that he could keep painting. However, he failed to escape. He threw his paintings on the ground and yelled at me, “This is all your fault, Aria! “If I had married Chloe instead of you, I would be the leader of the Lenza Group in Ros Aegeles by now! I wouldn’t be some poor, helpless painter!” Right before the robbers killed me, I finally realized that he never got over his childhood sweetheart, Chloe Lionel. That was why he never wanted to have children with me while we were married. When I opened my eyes again, we had both returned to a time before our marriage. This time, we went our separate ways. I cut ties with him and left Ros Angeles to focus on medical research. Seven years later, I returned. Lucas was already the boss of Cosa. He had Chloe in his arms and mocked me. “I know you’ve loved me in both lives, but did you really have to stay single for me?” I ignored him and held my son’s hand. He lost it. His eyes turned red with anger as he demanded, “Whose child is that?! Didn’t you say you would only have my children?!”

I was just eighteen when I mistook a business deal for a fairy tale, letting a schoolgirl crush blind me to the truth. My prince charming? He turned out to be more of a wolf in an Armani suit. Now, five years and a thousand broken pieces later, I've rebuilt myself into someone I barely recognize, a CEO, a survivor, and most importantly, a mother to my beautiful son Griffin. I thought I'd buried the naive girl who once dreamed in a garden. Apparently, the universe had other plans. My ex-husband's back, claiming he's changed and wanting a second chance. And then there's James Drake, a billionaire with scars that match my own, who makes me wonder if my heart remembers how to beat for something other than revenge. Between poisoned flowers showing up at my office and threats creeping too close to my son, I'm learning that success is the best revenge, if I can stay alive long enough to enjoy it. They say love is sweeter the second time around, but can I trust it when betrayal wore the face of love once before? One thing's certain: I'm not that naive wife anymore. And this time, I'm playing for keeps.

Meu marido sempre amou outra mulher. Quando descobri que ela era soropositiva, quebrei o sigilo médico e contei a ele. Ele não apenas me acusou de mentir, como também me culpou pela morte de um paciente, levando-me à prisão. Mais tarde, ele colocou abortivos no meu leite. Grávida de oito semanas, sofri uma hemorragia. Implorei por ajuda, mas ele apenas me empurrou e disse: — Finalmente, ninguém mais entre mim e Glei. Quando abri os olhos novamente, voltei ao dia em que a amante dele recebeu o diagnóstico. Desta vez, não contei nada. Apenas pedi o divórcio. Afinal, ele a amava demais. Achei melhor não atrapalhar.

Agatha Diniz era apenas uma bolsista pobre, apadrinhada por Manfredo Borges. Mas ela buscava mais do que caridade — ela queria adrenalina. Mergulhou com um grupo de homens no mar e, entre beijos e toques, começou a sangrar. A corrente arrastou o sangue e um tubarão apareceu. Fui eu quem a salvei, arriscando a vida para tirá-la da água. Disse apenas que ela devia procurar um médico. Ela sorriu, concordou, e, no minuto seguinte, correu até Manfredo, chorando, dizendo que eu havia manchado sua honra. Na fúria, ele me jogou viva dentro de um tubarão gigante ainda consciente. Enquanto eu gritava e socava o ventre da criatura, pescadores horrorizados imploravam: — Senhor, por favor! A sua esposa vai morrer! Ele apenas riu, abraçado à garota: — Dizem que dá pra viver um mês dentro de um peixe. Ela não ama tanto os tubarões? Que vire parte da pesquisa. Na escuridão, com o corpo preso e a alma dilacerada, acariciei minha barriga. Sussurrei ao meu bebê: — Filho, a mamãe não vai conseguir te proteger. Um mês depois, Manfredo voltou. Mas encontrou, na areia… apenas um esqueleto, embranquecido pelo sal e pelo tempo.
