Left 4 Dead 2 Ellis Stories

Rachel Larson was adamant about marrying me, and she spent ten years stealing my heart. On the night before our wedding, I overheard her conversation with her friend. "You're marrying Leonardo? What about your side piece?" A moment of silence later, Rachel answered, "That guy? He's just a cheap replacement. Leonardo's the real deal. Don't compare my side piece to him. If he stays put and keeps his mouth shut, I might let him stay around. Leonardo's a broad-minded man. He won't mind." The side piece did not stay put. In fact, he caused a scene at the wedding the next day. He shoved me off the stage, but the woman who was supposed to marry me darted over to his side instead. Why? He was holding a piece of broken glass against his throat. Gutturally, he roared, "Choose! Me or him?" Panicked, Rachel kicked me away despite my injuries, and she roared, "Get out of the way! I need to take him to the hospital! If anything happens to him, I'll kill you!" She didn't need to wait that long. My heart died right there and then. … That night, I bought a flight ticket that would take me abroad and left her.

Willow’s life was already a dangerous temptation, sharing a roof with four handsome, towering, and domineering stepbrothers who push every boundary between family and fantasy. But when her father is murdered and her home drenched in blood, on the same day a truth unfolded: her stepbrothers weren't always what they seemed, they were lycans and fate had cruelly marked her to them. Now on the run from traitors of her pack and hunted by an unknown enemy who wants her blood to break a curse she doesn't even have a slightest clue of, Willow is trapped between the pull of her stepbrothers' touch and the fear of surrendering to them completely. The more they protect her in her new surrounding, the more she falls for them and wants to explore her fantasies. They all made a promise to return Willow back to her pack when she's ready and reclaim her father's title as Alpha, but as jealousy began to creep in and the desire to share her diminished into a heated rivalry, can they fulfill their promise to her or this is to be a bond even the moon goddess might regret?

The Vale family was the most powerful mafia syndicate in the New York City. And I—along with a few other carefully chosen girls—had been handpicked to join their ranks, trained from the ground up so that the next head of the family could choose his wife from among us. Wife. That was the kinder word for it. The truth was whoever got picked would become his shield, his weapon, his most loyal protector. Someone who would kill for him. Die for him. Years passed. One by one, the others fell away. In the end, only Elara Quinn and I remained. And then, Elara died—killed on a secret mission. After that, there were no more choices left. I became Adrian Vale’s wife by default. I had given everything to Adrian. And I loved him. I thought he loved me too until I took a bullet to the chest—meant for him. As I lay there, barely breathing, I heard Adrian talking to his assistant, “Don’t bury her in the Vale cemetery. My half is reserved for Elara.” That was it. Elara—who had never even lived long enough to marry him—still had a space carved beside him in death. I? I had taken the hit that should have ended him… and yet I wasn’t even good enough to be buried near him. I slowly closed my eyes. And when I opened them again, I was back on the day the Vale family formally announced Adrian as their new head. The day everything began.

«Я слишком хорошо знаю что такое, когда у тебя есть все, включая здоровое и молодое тело. Но внутри меня нет. Моя душа была давно истлена и уничтожена в тюрьме для особо опасных преступников – в Адинбурге. Это место, где в тебе по капле убивают человечность, и за шесть лет пыток служителям ада удалось сотворить со мной это. День, когда я почувствовал страх за девушку, которая была этого не достойна, стал для меня надеждой. Верой в то, что я смогу почувствовать хоть что-нибудь. Но мой цветок, что прикидывался этой надеждой, оказался отравой, ядом и еще одним проклятьем, которое я должен искоренить в себе раз и навсегда. Я больше не хочу быть человечным. На этот раз моя игра будет еще жестче, потому что я собираюсь разорвать Камелию в клочья, пока она не будет умолять меня о… смерти.» – Брэндан.

МАККОЛЭЙ: Холодный разум и гранитный камень вместо сердца. Таким я был с самого детства. Сын ученого, на которого возложены большие надежды и великие Цели. Хладнокровный, циничный, жесткий.

I and Ella have been in love with each other since 6 years old. She was my princess and I knew she will rule my heart like a queen when we will grow old.

Я не люблю полутонов и недочувств. Я беру все или ничего. И если я люблю, то это, минимум цунами, максимум ядерный взрыв, который уничтожит всё в радиусе сотен тысяч километров. И когда я говорю этой голубоглазой девочке, что люблю ее, это не радостная новость. Это приговор. Нам обоим.

Рэнделл – опытный игрок. Придумывать хитрые схемы, удерживая на крючке нужных ему людей. Уверенно двигать фигуры по доске, продумывая все на несколько шагов вперед. В этом он мастер. Только вместо шахмат – люди. Он ловко манипулирует ими, как кукловод марионетками. Даже будучи главным подозреваемым в деле об убийстве его матери и жены, он знал, что выйдет сухим из воды. Единственный его страх – Лиса. Невероятное притяжение между ними пагубно и смертельно, и от этого их тянет друг к другу еще сильнее. Она тоже боится его, потому что знает, на что способен Рэнделл. Но Лиса знает также, какое влияние оказывает на него. Может, и кота можно загнать в мышеловку? Их история не закончится так просто. Эти двое должны встретиться вновь. Ведь партия, начатая когда-то давно, еще не завершилась. За Лисой должок, и ей придется его вернуть.

The girl my family sponsored was a manipulative opportunist. She had my childhood friends wrapped around her finger. I helped her out of pity for her poor background, but she climbed her way up, slowly taking my place. She faked innocence in front of the brothers while sabotaging me behind my back. When they found out, they called me petty rather than blame her. I got fed up, married my college crush, and moved on. But they flew in overnight, begging for forgiveness.
