Mafia Academy Series 1 (Book 1 of Red Duology) Kaytlyn Santiago only hates three things in life: rain, cliffs, and her second name. At a very young age, she had already experienced being kidnapped and tortured, pressured and forced into a life she never wanted in the first place. Kayt lived her life carrying all the hardships alone and blaming herself for the death of her mother. She'd already gone through any possible form of pain, making her heart numb and as cold as ice. She chose to build those walls around her that no one could ever break and wear the mask that was almost as perfect as a white lie. But her life changed when she entered the academy. She never once thought that someone would find a way to break those walls she built in. In a battle where she has to choose between her happiness and her family, who should it be, and was it worth taking the risk? She only has one chance, and the future lies in her hands. She mustn't pick the wrong choice. One decision can change everything. One wrong move and the game is over. *** Disclaimer: This story is written in Tagalog-English.

*SNEAK PEAK* "Olivia wait." "Just stop and listen to me..." "Olivia!" he snapped. I stopped in my tracks before I turned around and glared at him. "What the f**k do you want? I'm done with you. I'm done trying to win you over okay!?" I felt my eyes burn as I panted. Emotion after emotions swirling around like a f*****g whirlpool. I hated this feeling...I wanted it gone. The overwhelming feeling of betrayal piercing at my heart the longer I stared at him. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean for you to get hurt." I took a deep breath as I silently cursed when a tear escaped and trailed down my cheek. "It's not that you didn't intend to hurt me; I just wasn't meant to find out, was I." "It's a lot more complicated than that." I shrugged and wiped at my face before looking off into the distance. After staying in silence for a minute or so I met his gaze. He took a step forward as he frowned. "Olivia..." "We all have the right to love someone right?" He hesitated before he nodded his head in agreement. I faintly nodded my head agreeing with myself before I sighed. I have to do this. I could almost feel my heart breaking into a million pieces. "I, Olivia Steel from the nightingale Pack reject..." Before I could continue Damon's eyes darkened before he stalked towards me and pushed me against a tree causing me to gasp at the impact. "Don't you f*****g dare."

Azura tidak menyangka jika dia harus menikahi pria cacat demi bertanggung jawab, karena dirinya sendiri yang telah membuat pria itu cacat. "Tidak peduli bagaimana kita bertemu, tidak peduli kamu lumpuh atau pincang, aku tidak akan meninggalkanmu." --

Bitha seorang Jurnalis yang katanya ‘dikutuk’ tak bisa menjalin hubungan lebih lama setelah disentuh—memberanikan diri untuk mengajak tidur atasannya. CEO pendiri K-media Tv. Gila!

“There’s no sleeping and cuddling, Robyn. Just fu*king. I will f*ck you hard and fast. I will f*ck you until I lose interest in you. I will f*ck you every night. I’ll make sure you beg for more. That’s for a year. You will be naked in bed for 365 nights. After that, your debt is paid. I will forget you existed. Unless you have my three million dollars right now, then you have no choice but to bend to my will.” *** One night is supposed to be fun, not waking up sold to the highest bidder. Before I knew it, my boss, the beast with an ice-cold heart and a nightmare to work for, bought me and owned my very existence, turning me into his little bird in his golden gilded cage with impossible choices until I agreed to his dark bargain. Being at the mercy of a man like Spade Kolby with wealth, power, and an enigmatic past as dark as the night, I soon realized that having your boss save your life comes with a price. Nothing’s free. The only way to pay my debt is to be his wife and surrender my freedom. But the second our skins touch, there’s fire. The longer I try to resist his scorching touch and fight his death grip on my heart, the harder it gets, and I know nothing good comes out of falling for him.  Knowing the unimaginable consequences of escaping— how a snap of his fingers can destroy me, his words can rip me apart, and the unbreakable bond that binds us. After all, maybe once he gets what he wants, his obsession with me stops. Or maybe he’s not as cruel as I imagined him to be.

Nach meiner Wiedergeburt ließ ich die Hexe meine Gefährtenbindung zu Wyatt Galloway auslöschen. Mit einem Zauber, der die Gefährtenbindung übertragen konnte, verpflanzte ich diese Verbindung auf seine Adoptivschwester Jocelyn Latham. Von diesem Tag an würde er glauben, dass Jocelyn seine wahre Gefährtin sei. Noch bevor er etwas merkte, änderte ich den Namen auf der Einladung zur Gefährtenzeremonie. Das maßgeschneiderte, luxuriöse Kleid, das über ein halbes Jahr angefertigt worden war, überreichte ich Jocelyn mit beiden Händen. Wyatt und Jocelyn reisten in den Süden, um das Gebiet zu inspizieren. Im Namen des Alphas beanspruchte er den Platz der Rudels-Luna für Jocelyn und schrieb ihr ein Empfehlungsschreiben für die Emory-Universität in der Menschenwelt. Ich aber kehrte mich ab und begann mein Studium an der Harvard-Universität. In meinem früheren Leben hatten wir zwanzig Jahre zusammengelebt. Am Ende kniete er vor mir und flehte mich an, die Gefährtenmarkierung zu löschen, nur um nach dem Tod mit Jocelyn zusammen bestattet zu werden. Mit diesem neuen Leben werde ich nie wieder meine Zukunft für jemanden opfern. Dieses Mal werde ich an eine Spitzenuniversität gehen, mein eigener Stolz werden und mich nie wieder nach der Vergangenheit umschauen.
