Tu n'es personne...juste une substitute.. Alessia Bianchi avait un cerveau qui valait des millions et un cœur qui valait encore moins aux yeux de Leonardo Conti. Personne ne savait ce qu'elle était vraiment. Aux yeux de tous, elle n'était que l'épouse discrète, sans histoire, sans ambition. Chercheuse en biotechnologies sur le point de déposer un brevet révolutionnaire, elle a cru que l'aimer suffirait. Elle a rangé ses dossiers, avalé ses « vitamines » en réalité des contraceptifs et s'est effacée. Cinq ans plus tard, Olivia Greco refait surface. Leonardo, sans un regard, lui annonce froidement : « Divorçons. Tu n'as jamais été autre chose que son substitut. » Elle part sans une larme, emportant ses données. Lui ne perd pas une seconde : il avait épousé la chercheuse, pas la femme. Des années après, Alessia signe un rachat à huit chiffres avec un laboratoire américain. Le monde découvre alors qui elle est vraiment. Mais un autre homme guette depuis l'ombre. Matteo De Luca, héritier d'un empire pharmaceutique, n'a jamais voulu seulement le brevet. Il la veut, elle. Plus riche, plus puissant, plus patient que Leonardo, il dépose une offre que personne n'oserait refuser : un mariage qui ferait d'elle la femme la plus influente du secteur. Leonardo, soudainement pris d'un désespoir très opportun, change de disque : « Divorcer ? Impossible. Tant que je n'ai pas signé, tu es ma femme. Pour la vie. » Mais entre un mari qui l'a trahie et un milliardaire qui la courtise, Alessia n'a plus besoin de choisir. Pour la première fois, c'est elle qu'on convoite. Et ça n'a pas de prix.

O híbrido de serviço de classe elite que comprei não gosta de mim; ele ignorava minha presença e só abanava o rabo para a minha irmã. Frustrada, acabei levando para casa um híbrido de classe inferior, daqueles vendidos para aliviar o estresse de forma brutal. No entanto, quando ele percebeu minhas intenções, entrou em pânico, quase chorando de desespero. — Daniela, você só pode criar a mim! Vou ser o seu único cachorrinho! — Implorou ele.

The fertility clinic called to inform me that my embryos were ready for transfer. I touched my abdomen, still numb from the anesthesia of that morning's egg retrieval. Even with cutting-edge medical technology, embryos couldn't be prepared this quickly. Before I could call back to clarify, my husband stopped me. "Mom's been pressing us hard. I pulled some strings to fast-track the process so you can get pregnant sooner. Imagine twins! My buddies will be green with envy." Silent, I drove straight to the clinic and dialed 911 on the way. "Hello? I'm reporting a fertility clinic involved in illegal surrogacy."

Quand il m'est arrivé une crise d'appendicite, mes parents, mon frère et mon fiancé étaient tous occupés à fêter l'anniversaire de ma petite sœur. Allongée devant la salle d'opération, j'ai appelé désespérément toute ma famille et mes proches, espérant trouver quelqu'un pour signer le consentement d'opération, mais chaque appel s'est conclu par raccrocher. Mon fiancé, Guillaume, m'a envoyé un message après m'avoir raccroché : « Charlotte, arrête de ton caprice. C'est le passage à l'âge adulte aujourd'hui pour Doria. On en parlera après le banquet s'il y a une urgence. » En lisant son message, j'ai tout compris. J'ai posé mon téléphone et ai signé calmement le consentement moi-même. C'était la quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième fois qu'ils me négligeaient pour s'occuper de Doria. J'ai décidé d'arrêter de mendier leur attention. Je n'étais plus triste de leur favoritisme. Au contraire, je me pliais à toutes leurs demandes. Ils pensaient tous que je suis devenue sage et obéissante, mais ils ignoraient que j'étais sur le point de les quitter pour toujours.

"You broke the law of this house when you fell in love with me, your own stepbrother. And now, you’ve broken the law of this country by killing someone. Tell me, Hariette. How will you defend yourself from the crime you’ve committed, when you couldn’t even defend the love you once felt for me?” Napagbintangan si Hariette ng mga kapitbahay na siya ang pumatay sa kanyang tiyuhin matapos makita ng mga ito na hawak niya ang patalim habang nakahandusay sa sahig ang duguan na katawan nito. Inaresto siya ng mga pulis at ikinulong nang walang matibay na ebidensya laban sa kanya. Umatras ang kanyang abogado sa paghawak ng kanyang kaso dahil ayaw niyang magsalita at ipagtanggol ang sarili. Ayaw niyang sabihin ang totoo na ang kanyang Tiya Gilda ang pumatay sa asawa nito. Wala na siyang makuhang libreng abogado kaya naman napilitan siyang humingi ng tulong sa pamilyang minsan na ring kumupkop sa kanya bago siya napunta sa poder ng kanyang tiyahin, at iyon ay ang mga Avery. Noong una, ayaw itong tanggapin ni Justin, dahil hindi ito humahawak ng kaso ng mga kriminal. Ang katwiran niya, bakit nya ipagtatanggol ang mga taong nagkasala? Ang nararapat sa mga ito ay maparusahan. Pero sa kalaunan ay tinanggap niya rin ito, ngunit bago pa man ang lahat ay nagkasundo sila na babayaran niya ito sa paraang gusto ng binatang abogado, at pumayag naman siya. Pero paano kung ang hilingin nitong bayad ay ang pakasalan siya ng sikreto? Ang akala niya ay may nararamdaman din ito sa kanya. Iyon pala, gusto lang nitong turuan ng leksyon ang babaeng nang-iwan dito. Ang babaeng pinagselosan niya kaya siya lumayas sa bahay ng pamilya Avery. Sa pagitan ng hustisya at pag-ibig, sino ang tunay na huhusgahan? Ang nagkasala, o ang nagmahal?

Depois que tranquei a faculdade, meus pais não me pressionaram. Mas a amiga de infância do meu namorado, que sempre cultivou a imagem de ser uma pessoa superinteligente, me ligou. Eu estava ocupada aproveitando a vida no interior, cultivando uma horta, nadando no riacho, sem tempo algum para programar. Na vida passada, ela entregou, um dia antes de mim, um projeto de programação idêntico ao meu. Todos me insultaram, dizendo que eu era desavergonhada, acusando-me de plágio e fraude. Tentei me explicar, mas ninguém acreditou em mim. Depois, ela ainda fez lives, caluniando-me na internet, dizendo que eu praticava bullying no campus. Atacaram minha família nas redes sociais de maneira enlouquecida, meus pais, tentando fugir de perseguidores extremistas, acabaram sofrendo um acidente de carro e faleceram. Não suportando o golpe, saltei de um prédio alto, morta sem poder descansar em paz. Até o último instante, enquanto minha consciência se dissipava, eu não conseguia entender o que havia acontecido. Era claramente o fruto do meu próprio esforço, por que alguém conseguiu publicar antes de mim? Quando abri os olhos novamente, eu, Sílvia Simões, voltei para o dia anterior ao incidente do plágio.

As New Year's Day approaches, a new hire who has only been with the company for six months, who is a mama's girl, calls the police and tries to have me arrested. She suspects our company is some kind of a scam. But the truth is, the company exceeded its performance targets this year. That is why I prepared a million-dollar year-end bonus, a ten-day premium trip to Graceland, and equity grants for my employees. Yet, she waves around a video her mother sends her, claiming that high-paying jobs like the one I offered are all traps. Not only that, she slanders my company all over the internet. Netizens become outraged and call me a scammer disguised as an entrepreneur. Having become the target of public criticism, I simply issue a notice, saying, "The company will immediately begin transfer procedures, and all perks are canceled." As soon as the announcement comes out, my employees, who have just taken out loans to buy homes and just gotten their visas for the trip, are completely stunned.
