Libro Culpa Mia

POWERS SERIES (BOOK TWO) ”I’m only here until my father’s debt is paid. I’m not your property,” I said, though my voice faltered under his piercing gaze. Owen smirked, stepping closer, his voice a low, dangerous growl. “Funny, because the moment you stepped into my territory, you became my property, mia cara, and I do not let go of what’s mine until I’ve taken everything I’m owed—and more.” Mae has spent her entire life trying to clean up her father’s messes. But when his largest debt lands her in the hands of Owen, the most feared Mafia Don in the country, her life takes a maddening turn. Owen built his empire on blood, power, and his unwavering belief that family is nothing but a weakness. Mae’s fierce loyalty and willingness to risk everything to protect her deadbeat father—and track down the mother who abandoned her—makes her more interesting than she already is. Trapped in a web of danger, desire, and impossible choices, Mae has to decide: How far will she go to save the people who’ve already let her down? And how long can she resist the pull of the man who claims to own her?

“Make love to me.” I pleaded. I wasn’t thinking straight and I was only doing this to get back at Benjamin but the way Saint was currently looking at me did not help with my decision making. “Make love to you?” He repeated. He was probably baffled seeing as I was dating his nephew. “Yes.” I didn’t back down. Saint took a few steps closer to me, making me falter. Was he finally going to throw me out of his room for talking such nonsense? I held my breath as I waited for the inevitable rejection. “I don’t make love, mia cara. I fuck.” ~•~ When Adriana Jensen catches her boyfriend cheating on her with her best friend, her first idea is to get back at him by sleeping with his uncle, Saint, but when she is rejected by him, she sees it as a challenge and stops at nothing to make him break before their trip is over. Saint Rossi has no business lusting after his nephew’s girlfriend but he cannot help his obsession, especially after she boldly gives herself to him. He tries his best to stay away from her because she is too good to be brought into his darkness, but it seems like fate had other plans for the pair.

Charlotte devoted six years to being the perfect wife and the efficient secretary—loyal, and the quiet force behind Drake Watson’s corporate empire.

After a devastating loss, Charlotte finally resigns, files for divorce, and walks away from Drake. Drake believed losing her was just an inconvenience until she returned, not as his wife, but as his worst nightmare. Now a powerful CEO in her own right, she’s no longer the obedient secretary who lived in his shadow. She’s his rival, and the one woman he can’t afford to underestimate. But what happens when the woman he cast aside becomes the storm that could bring him down, not just in business, but in the one place that will hurt him the most… his heart. Drake isn’t the man she thought he was. As she rises in the corporate world, he fights to pull her back into his arms. But can she trust the man who once shattered her? And will revenge be enough… when love still burns between them?

El crucero tuvo un accidente, pero solo quedaba un lugar en el bote salvavidas. Los tres sorteamos, y me tocó a mí, pero quise cederle la oportunidad de vivir a Ezequiel. Mientras forcejeábamos, su amiga de la infancia se adelantó y subió de un salto. Pensé que nuestras vidas terminarían allí, pero, inesperadamente, el equipo de rescate llegó a tiempo y nos sacó de la inmensidad del mar profundo. Después de esto, Ezequiel y yo nos casamos. Pero nunca imaginé que, el día de nuestra boda, su amiga de la infancia regresaría a aquella misma área marítima y se lanzaría al vacío. Al enterarse de su muerte, Ezequiel se llenó de un dolor inmenso y luego echó toda la culpa sobre mí. ​Me encerró en el sótano cuando estaba embarazada, haciendo mi vida peor que la muerte. El día del parto, tuve una hemorragia masiva. Él le dijo al doctor que priorizara al bebé, abandonando mi vida sin dudar.

Mis padres tenían miedo de que yo usara la identidad de hija de ricos para fastidiar a otros. Así que me mandaron al rancho, adoptaron a la niña de esa familia y la trajeron a la ciudad para educarla. En el rancho todos los días me levantaba a las cuatro a dar de comer a los puercos, caminaba tres horas para estudiar, y casi me muero al enfermarme por no comer bien. Por treinta dólares de colegiatura, llamé por primera vez a su teléfono, pero me acusaron de gastar dinero a lo tonto. Pero, de inmediato, para que mi hermana menor escogiera escuela, donaron un edificio. Cuando con esfuerzo entré a la preparatoria a la que ella iba, obtuve un lugar de honor. Pero mis padres me pidieron que se lo diera a mi hermana menor, y me regañaron con furia: —De verdad que eres una maldita, le robaste las cosas a tu hermana menor, y, por tu culpa, no puede estar tranquila. Estás en deuda con ella de por vida. Con su identidad, renunciaron a mi lugar de honor, y dejaron que mi hermana menor cumpliera su deseo. Incluso, para su futuro le dieron a ella las acciones de la compañía y la casa. Toda la familia se estaba preparando para salir del país juntos. Viendo todo esto, ya no me sentía triste, por lo que, tranquila, me limité a empacar mi maleta, dejé aquella casa que no me pertenecía.
