Kabanata 24 El Filibusterismo Buod

El Alfa de la Manada Luna Ascendente no perdona una deuda y mi padre ya no tenía más dinero, nada con qué negociar para salvar su propia vida. Excepto a mí. El Alfa me miró, y pude ver que pensaba que no valía lo que había perdido. "Ella puede darme un heredero", decidió Varon. "Y quizás eso pague la deuda. De lo contrario, el trato se cancela." Y así, le pertenecía a él. Pero él no tenía gusto por una compañera. Y yo no tenía gusto por él. Así que, el vínculo de compañeros era peligrosamente incompleto. Estaba segura de que a ninguno de los dos nos importaba. Lo odiaba. Casi más que a mi padre que me había vendido. Entonces, la Manada Niebla Carmesí vino a mí con una oferta. Me liberarían de mi prisión si les ayudaba a destruir a la Luna Ascendente y a Varon. Fue una elección fácil de hacer y acepté sin preguntar. Después de todo, si fallaba en dar a luz a un hijo, entonces estaría muerta. Pero, ¿y si mis sentimientos hacia Varon de repente empezaran a cambiar? «Entregada al Alfa» es una creación de Claire Wilkins, una autora de eGlobal Creative Publishing.

Eden Rowe, 21, is beautiful, sweet, naive, and the only child of a former police officer. Oliver Calloway, 24, is handsome, reckless, scandalous, and the only son of the wealthiest family in New York. Eden has been catering to her father's needs since he lost his job and became an abusive alcoholic. She begins working as a maid at the Calloway mansion, where she meets Oliver. Oliver is the kind of guy who gives every girl butterflies and makes them go weak in the knee. He's a daredevil, rebellious, and avoids responsibilities, spending every night with a different girl in his bed. But he soon realizes that all of that is about to change when he gets Eden pregnant and his father forces him to marry her. After Oliver mistreats Eden on their wedding night, she runs away and disappears without a trace. Six years later, an unexpected reunion brings them face-to-face once more. Neither of them is the same person they once were. Oliver, now the CEO of his family's business, is cold, ruthless, and one of the richest men in America. Eden, on the other hand, is a successful businesswoman engaged to Oliver's biggest business rival. Oliver wants Eden and his child back, mostly to satisfy his ego. Eden wants nothing to do with him. But Oliver will stop at nothing to claim what he believes is rightfully his, even if it means using their son as leverage. It's a dangerous game of control where desire becomes obsession, sparks reignite, and deceit and vengeance threaten to destroy them both. Perhaps love is the only thing that can break them free from the prison of their own making, or perhaps love is a curse that will forever damn them.

Aurelio Bertram, 24, a dangerously handsome billionaire with a legacy drenched in power and shadows. Grandson of a notorious mob boss. Son of one of the city’s most respected businessmen. Aurelio was a perfect storm—charming, ruthless, and reckless. But at the moment, he was temporarily nothing. Until he fulfilled their one condition. Just as he was plotting revenge on a childhood rival and preparing to attend one of the biggest underground events of the year, the unexpected hit—his family wouldn’t grant him the reins to their empire unless he produced an heir. Easy enough, right? After all, Aurelio Bertram was known in his circle as the king of flings—a man who could charm a woman in seconds and leave her breathless. Getting someone pregnant? A walk in the park. Except… it wasn’t. Weeks turned into months. Not one woman came back with a positive test. Not a single one. Until Erica James. A simple, middle-class hotel waitress with curves that could stop time and a heart hardened by abandonment. Her parents had written her off in high school, convinced she’d never amount to anything. But Erica didn’t need their approval. One night. That’s all it took. Aurelio never expected it. Neither did she. And when the test turned positive, Erica wanted nothing more than to disappear—run far away from the shame, the chaos, and the power that surrounded Aurelio Bertram. But how do you run from a man who owns the city? From the father of your unborn child? From a man who refuses to let go? "Even in the woods, I’d find you, babycakes," Aurelio whispered into her ear, his voice low and possessive. "From now on, you belong to me. You, and everything that has to do with my baby."

Al renacer en esta segunda vida, tomé una decisión: mantendría la máxima distancia posible de Santiago Fernández. Cuando lo vi llegar como director a mi empresa, renuncié esa misma tarde. Cuando compró un apartamento en mi edificio, me mudé al otro extremo de la ciudad. Y cuando anunció que dirigiría el imperio familiar desde aquí, solicité mi traslado internacional. En mi vida anterior, lo había obligado a casarse conmigo usando mi embarazo como chantaje. Pero justo el día de la boda, su primer amor regresó. Al vernos juntos en el altar, corrió hacia la terraza y saltó al vacío. Santiago fingió que nada había pasado y se casó conmigo, sonriendo. El día de nuestro aniversario de bodas, nos llevó a mi hija y a mí a hacer puénting. Pero él cortó las cuerdas, y mi hija y yo caímos, muriendo destrozadas. Después de nuestra muerte, se inclinó sobre nuestros cuerpos y rio con crueldad: —¡Si no fuera por ti, Valentina no se habría suicidado! ¡Ahora ve y págale por tu culpa! Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, había regresado a esa noche en que usé mi embarazo para obligarlo a casarse.

Aku punya sembilan nyawa, dan enam nyawa sudah kuhabiskan untuk Rico. Kali pertama, aku tertimbun dalam longsoran salju saat mencoba menyelamatkannya. Air dari lelehan salju memenuhi mulut dan hidungku. Kali kedua, aku diburu oleh musuhnya dan ditusuk 24 kali hingga tubuhku hancur lebur. Awalnya, dia gemetar dan berjanji tidak akan menyakitiku lagi. Pada kali ketujuh, dia sudah terbiasa dan sengaja menabrakkan mobilnya padaku hanya untuk menyenangkan seorang wanita. "Nyawanya nggak ada harganya. Asal kamu bahagia, dengan senang hati aku suruh dia mati 99 kali." "Kamu mau lihat kematian macam apa lagi? Aku akan mengaturnya sesuai keinginanmu." Aku terhempas sepuluh meter jauhnya seperti baju bekas yang terkoyak. Darah segar mengucur dari mulut dan hidungku. Namun, aku tersenyum dan menghitung dengan jariku. "Dua kali lagi, utang budiku akan terbayar lunas." Rico Sarihan tidak tahu aku hanya punya sembilan nyawa. Setelah aku mati untuk kesembilan kalinya, aku tidak akan kembali lagi. Ironisnya, saat aku benar-benar mati, dia memeluk erat mayatku yang hangus dan berbau busuk itu, tidak mau lepas. Air matanya bercucuran tak terkendali. "Tiara, kumohon bangunlah. Jangan tega begini sama aku. Kelak aku nggak akan biarkan siapa pun menyakitimu lagi." Sayangnya, tidak akan ada lagi seseorang yang menghapus air matanya dengan tangan gemetar berlumuran darah.

His eyes traveled all over my body, from head to toe. It made me self-conscious for some reason. "The dress fits you well,” then he paused and murmured, looking at the floor. "I was wondering if you'd like it or not." "Huh?" His head turned to me again as if he was freed from a trance. "So now will you tell me what I have to do for you, sir?" I said sarcastically. "What?" He looked at me with surprise. "What? You have to have some purpose for keeping me here by force," I said, pressing on the last two words. He paused for a few seconds and then the lamest thing I could have ever imagined came out of his mouth. "Yes, you are here to serve me," he stated blankly. "What? Did I hear you right? You knocked me out, kidnapped my sister, and blackmailed me into coming here just to be your servant?" I cried out in disbelief. A smirk began to settle on his face as he took in my reaction. He was enjoying this absurdity even more! "Yes, dear. You are here to serve me. From now on, you will be with me 24 hours. All matters regarding me are your responsibility from now on." This is insane! Is he really a pervert? What is he trying to pull? "But you already have a lot of servants!” I protested. “And they're always at your beck and call too! Why the hell would you have me kidnapped for this? And who gives new clothes and breakfast in bed to a servant?” This was driving me crazy. Was he playing with me? Probably, a rotten rich vampire prince playing for fun. But I was not going to play hooky with him. No way!
