Kumiko X Reina

Yo era su única debilidad. Don Alex, el rey de Nueva York. Y yo era su reina. Pero días antes de la fecha de nacimiento de nuestro hijo, me arrojaron a participar en el Duelo a Muerte en los Muelles, un juego cruel transmitido para el entretenimiento del mundo clandestino. Las balas volaban, trampas ocultas acechaban y cada uno de mis intentos aterrorizados y patéticos por sobrevivir se transmitía en vivo en pantallas gigantes. Entonces, escuché a su segundo al mando por los altavoces. —Jefe, su esposa está a punto de dar a luz. ¿Seguro que quiere estar aquí? Me congelé. ¿Alex estaba aquí? Un momento después, una voz de mujer, empalagosa, goteó a través de los altavoces. —Olvida a esa perra. Alex me dijo que lo único que importaba hoy era estar aquí conmigo. ¿Cierto, cariño? Era Scarlett. La princesa de la mafia de Chicago. El amor de la infancia de Alex, una mujer a la que él siempre había consentido y hacia la que mostraba un claro favoritismo. Durante años, él había rechazado sus insinuaciones, pero nunca se negaba a sus caprichos. Hoy, ella estaba de mal humor e insistió en ver el Duelo a Muerte en los Muelles, así que él estaba allí para hacerle compañía. Grité llamando a Alex, le supliqué ayuda, pero él estaba convencido de que yo era una asesina disfrazada. Scarlett se rió y dijo que el juego debía ser más emocionante. Así que él presionó el botón. Perros de patrulla crueles me cazaron. Se me rompió la fuente, mezclándose con la sangre en el suelo. Estaba en agonía. El juego llegó a su clímax mientras más perros y hombres armados me cercaban por todos lados. Todos apostaban sobre quién sería el siguiente en morir. Alex sonrió, con su voz en un tono bajo y despreocupado. —Apuesto a que esa asquerosa mujer embarazada morirá. No supo la verdad hasta que me desangré en una mesa de operaciones, con nuestro hijo muerto junto a mí. Dicen que el despiadado Padrino se hizo pedazos. Se rompió por completo.

My back hits the cold glass of the penthouse window, the city glittering a thousand feet below us. Sebastian’s hand is at my throat—not tight enough to hurt, but enough to remind me who I belong to. “You were talking to him,” he says, voice low, dangerous. His other hand is braced beside my head, caging me in. “You smiled.” “It was just—” “Don’t lie to me, Ocean.” His thumb brushes the hollow of my throat, and my pulse jumps so hard he feels it. “You’re mine. Every glance. Every breath. Every inch of you.” I should be furious. I should tell him I’m not his property. But then his mouth is on mine—rough, consuming, tasting like the whiskey he hasn’t let go of since the gala. I moan before I can stop myself. That’s all the permission he needs. His hand slides to my waist, fingers digging in as if he’s afraid I’ll vanish. The heat between us ignites like dry kindling. It’s dangerous. It’s too much. It’s everything. When he finally pulls back, his eyes are dark enough to drown in. “One year,” he murmurs. “That was the deal. But you… you’re making me want forever.” And in that moment, I know the worst truth of all— If Sebastian Velez decides to keep me, I won’t even try to run.

#เมื่ออุบัติเหตุนำพามาสู่เรื่องราววุ่นวายแบบไม่มีใครคาดคิด #ความใกล้ชิดที่เริ่มต้นจากสถานการณ์บังคับจะยั่งยืนสักแค่ไหน? #สุดท้ายหัวใจจะเลือกใคร...ระหว่างคนที่รักไม่ได้ กับคนที่ไม่คิดจะรัก...

ความสัมพันธ์ที่เริ่มต้นจากความลับ…มันก็ต้องเป็นความลับตลอดไป! It’s complicated relationship เป็นความสัมพันธ์ที่ค่อนข้างซับซ้อน ไม่มีความชัดเจน ไม่แน่ใจว่าเป็นความรักหรือเราคิดไปเอง เขารักเราไหม แล้วเรารักเขาจริงๆรึเปล่า ทุกอย่างมันดูเลือนลาง ล่องลอยไม่มีจุดยืนและพร้อมที่สลายหายไปได้ทุกเมื่อ แต่สำหรับเขาและเธอ มันยิ่งกว่านั้น…

lunch went by pretty quickly, and we were back to classes soon enough. I'd like to forget to get a book out of my locker, so I went to go quickly and went to get it. I was leaning against the locker next to mine as I quickly scanned my schedule on my locker door. When warm air fanned the side of my face. "Move" being the excellent human being I am, I jumped out of fright, flinging the heavy calculus textbook in my hands backward. I hear a grunt and turn to find the person hunched over as they hold part of their face "Oh God! I'm so sorry!" I panicked. and then he looked up. the first thing I noticed was his short, dark hair. it looked so smooth, and 1 almost reached out to play with it. My eyes trailed down to his strong jaw line, down to his broad shoulders. I didn't even realize that I was biting my lip as I further inspected the Adonis before me. His arm flexed, bringing my attention to the amber eye he was now covering It was him. Six. He is the most popular and dangerous guy in school. And I'd managed to injure him with my calculus textbook.

"แล้วเราจะอยู่กันแบบนี้เหรอ คือมึงตั้งใจจะเอากูไปเรื่อย ๆ แบบที่เป็นเพื่อนกันยังงี้เหรอ" "แล้วจะให้กูทำไง พี่มึงมันไม่ได้เพิ่งพูดหรอกนะ แต่มันพูดมาตลอดว่าไม่ให้ใครในกลุ่มยุ่งกับมึง!"

S.I.X. Also spelled SIX, or simply the number 6. With over eight billion people in the world, seven of those eight reckon with the name S.I.X. To the oblivious masses, it’s just a name. To the fairly informed, it’s a jinx, bringing destruction. To the cops and government, it’s their nemesis. And to the Mafia world, it’s the legacy of a legend. * Ten years in the Italian ‘La Fratellanza’ Mafia family, SIX has harbored a fervent urge to hang up his boots and leave the dark world he has grown to love. But he, more than anyone else, knows the rules: the brotherhood is forever, and the only way out is in a body bag. With much appeal, he is cut some slack and given one condition - protect the Rodriguez heiress until she finally gets wedded to the Capo of the La Fratellanza family. Frustrated, SIX unwinds at a bar and ends up in bed with a mysterious vixen. The next morning, he takes the first flight to NYC to begin his assignment. But there she is, in the arms of the Capo, and he finally learns her real name - Arabella Rodriguez, fiancée to the Capo, heiress to the Rodriguez empire... and his fucking one-night stand. A bloody twist! But the beginning of a catastrophe in his quest to leave the dark world.

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.
