Like Dragons They Did Fight

Playboy, Casanova e Destruidor de corações, foram alguns adjetivos usados pelos paparazzi para descrever o brilhante designer de interiores e o CEO mais badalado do Grayson Group Of Hotels, Áries Grayson. Mas isso mudou rapidamente quando seus olhos pousaram na namorada perfeita de seu melhor amigo, Cara Silencio. No momento em que seus olhos a fitaram pela primeira vez, sua inocência tomou seu mundo de assalto. Cara era tudo o que Áries secretamente desejava em sua vida, mas ela estava fora dos limites, e Áries escolheu seguir as regras do código Bro. Cara Silencio tem sua própria cota de segredos que podem destruí-la. Em meio a mascarar sua verdadeira identidade do mundo e tentar sobreviver, ela estava exausta.

Anos mais tarde, quando Áries a encontrou no infame clube de strip, seus desejos voltaram à vida e, desta vez, ele estava com o objetivo de reivindicá-la. Uma noite de intimidade não impediu a saudade dela. Ele a queria em sua cama todas as noites, esperando por ele. Áries voltou ao clube para encontrá-la, mas Cara se foi, não deixando vestígios. Determinado a encontrá-la, ele chamou seu informante mais competente para encontrar Cara Silencio, apenas para tropeçar na verdade chocante. "Sr. Grayson, a mulher que você está procurando é a herdeira do maior império de negócios de Nova York!"

La séptima vez que Simón Narváez faltó a nuestra cita para registrar el matrimonio, corté todo vínculo con él de forma radical. En las reuniones de amigos donde él asistía, yo faltaba deliberadamente. Cuando lo invitaron al acto del aniversario universitario, abandoné el lugar antes de su presentación. Si la empresa donde trabajaba optaba por colaborar con él, presentaba mi renuncia inmediata. Incluso en Nochevieja, cuando vino a mi casa para dar los saludos del Año Nuevo, inventé una excusa para no estar en casa. Lo bloqueé en el móvil, eliminé nuestros contactos mutuos, una ruptura total y definitiva. Ni yo lo contactaba, ni él tenía forma de encontrarme. Durante treinta años de mi existencia, había dedicado la mayor parte de mi tiempo a amarlo con devoción ciega, a cuidarlo con esmero. No fue hasta esa séptima vez en el registro civil, cuando una vez más me dejó esperando sola, que finalmente abrí los ojos. ¡Bastó ya de aquella situación! Preferí mil veces la soledad absoluta que seguir aguardando noche tras noche en un hogar vacío.

Na vida passada, fiz de tudo para ajudar minha melhor amiga, mas em fim, fui traída pelo meu noivo e meu irmão, que juntos destruíram minha empresa. Me lembrei de que caída na chuva, enquanto os três riam da minha dor. — Lorena, olha para você! Igual a um cachorro abandonado! — Eles zombaram, cruéis. Mas, num piscar de olhos, voltei no tempo. Estava três anos atrás, na reunião decisiva da licitação. Naquela época, minha empresa ainda era pequena. Meu irmão e noivo fingiam se importar com ética, dizendo que eu não devia usar as conexões das famílias Duarte e Nogueira. Porém, pelas costas, davam o melhor projeto para "minha amiga" só para vê-la sorrir feliz.

Pada hari ibu mertuaku didiagnosis kanker rahim, dia membawa koper dan pindah ke rumahku. "Ibu nggak punya banyak waktu lagi, hampir nggak ada harapan," dia terisak, "Kalau kalian usir Ibu, kalian bukan manusia." Aku melihat suamiku yang diam tanpa kata, lalu beralih ke putraku yang selama ini kubesarkan dengan penuh kasih. "Kalian mau bilang apa?" Suamiku yang diam itu tampak muram, lalu menarik tanganku. "Soal waktu pasca melahirkan itu, mau kamu ingat sampai kapan? Ibu sudah seperti ini." Putraku juga ikut mendukung, "Nenek hampir tiada, merawatnya di masa tua itu kewajiban kita." Aku tersenyum menatap suami dan putraku. "Kalau begitu, silakan kalian yang merawat."

I'm undressed and bound to a testing table when my family comes to pick me up. A thick, sharp needle pierces into my neck. A drug is administered into my blood, and the pain almost makes me lose consciousness. Behind me, I can feel a man's cold hands stroking my skin amorously. Before me, several people are staring at me. They point at me and treat me like an educational instrument. I tremble in fear and curl up on the testing table in pain. Three years ago, my brother sent me to Mykorra's war zone to stand up for Yvette Sanders. Those were the three most insulting and torturous years of my life. They burned away my hope for kinship but not my desire for survival. As the hands roam lower on my body, I bite my lip so hard that I almost draw blood. As the hands start to go overboard, someone knocks on the door. "Wendy Sanders, your brother is here for you."

After dating in secret for seven years, Mitchell Zahn decides to propose to me on the day his birthday album is officially released. But during the birthday party, he publicly invites Isabella Claxton, a composer and my sister, to work with him. I follow Mitchell to ask him for an explanation. That's when I hear him and his friends chatting and joking inside the lounge. "You're so loyal to your first love, Mitchie. You couldn't wait to ask her to work with you upon her return. What are you going to do about Gabriella, though? Will she accept how your relationship ends when she's written so many songs for you?" After a moment, another person laughs and says, "To Mitchie, Gabriella has always been a replacement for Isabella. Now that Isabella is back, her replacement has to go. Don't you agree, Mitchie?" I wait for a long time before hearing a soft sound of agreement.

Jessica came to her senses under the bed of her fiancé and good friend’s, regaining her IQ, and couldn’t go back ever since. The douchebag: “Jessica, prepare a birthday gift to celebrate my dad’s birthday.” “Sorry, now I am the chairman, it is him who should pay tribute!” Jessica’s scum girlfriend: “Jessica, can you let me host the marriage show?” “You said that you haven’t experienced the pure love, so don't even think about it!” Jessica tore off the fake masks of the scumbags’ and turned to a pair of ink eye pupils: “It does feel cool to slap others, but don’t forget what your identity is!” “What identity?" Christian Maddox held her waist lightly, his face without missing a beat: “You should ask the little prince in your belly...”

My grandfather is a nationally renowned inheritor of an intangible cultural heritage. Today, I'm supposed to attend a grand ceremony as his rightful successor. However, when I arrive, I see my father's adoptive daughter already standing on the stage. She's dressed to the nines. She holds an award and is giving a thank-you speech, looking moved. In the past, I would've left without saying anything or speaking up for myself. Too bad for her that I'd been reborn. The discrepancy between our statuses is so large that we're basically from different worlds. Yet she has the nerve to claim to be my grandfather's successor and put on a show with what is supposed to be my family's.

Many years ago, dragons discovered the supreme good that the Earth could offer to any of its creatures. A red gem, which the king of dragons named "The Heart of Magic" because of its shape, resembled a heart. The magic gem fulfilled their greatest desires. All the dragons in the world obtained a necklace with a small piece of the red gem that shone. All the dragons born afterward also carried the same necklace. Then, when the gem got stolen, this light went out of every necklace, and the dragons lost these magical abilities that the gem had given them. But before this could happen, after fulfilling these desires, the dragons used them against the humans, enslaving them, but when the gem got stolen, it was all over. Dragons are still looking for it, and humans wish never to be found so that they do not go through the same thing again. Princess Edith, after a family tragedy, she will be forced to go in search of the gem. Through the journey of investigation, she will discover that she possesses special powers that she did not know that she has until that moment. Drake is the Dragon King's son and will be secretly sent to help Edith seek the gem. Carrying his dark and heavy past on his back, he moves forward with his life with no regrets about his actions back then. Everything is about to change.
