Lux Jinx Ao3

On the night of New Year's Eve, I wake up in a hospital ward with an IV drip connected to the back of my hand. A nurse passes me the hospital bill. "It's 300 dollars in total, including the emergency treatment fee and the cost for a bottle of glucose drips." When I turn on my phone, I feel my heart sinking. I only have 29.01 dollars left in my bank account. The wallpaper of my phone is a countdown of my family contract's app. Today is the date when I have to renew my family contract for the year. In order to accumulate enough money to go home, I've been working as a staff member in concert venues. Earlier, I had collapsed backstage, so I was quickly sent to the hospital. The dial tone keeps beeping for a long time. Finally, my mom answers my call in what seems to be a noisy background. "Mom, I'm at the hospital right now. I need 300 dollars to pay the hospital bill." "You're at the hospital?" Mom's voice turns shrill immediately. "Why did you visit the hospital during the holidays? You really are a jinx!" "I fainted earlier. I was working at a concert venue—" "What? So, you refused to do chores at home during the holidays! Instead, you decide to work at a concert venue?" Mom interrupts immediately. "I don't have 300 dollars on me! You'd better come up with a way to pay that bill of yours!" "Mom…" My hand tightens around my phone. "Today is the last day of my family contract's renewal period. I'll renew the contract once I pay the bill." "Renew the contract, huh?" Mom just sneers at me. "That's a part of your duties! How dare you use it against me! Helena Lambert, if you don't renew the contract today, you can forget about calling me 'Mom'!" After that, she ends the call. I can only grip my phone to the point that my fingers turn white. After that, I tap on a social media app in hopes that I can borrow money from my friends, only to see the latest post on the social media feed. My younger sister, Hannah Lambert, has posted a photo collage there. "I'm here with my parents to watch my favorite singer's concert! Snagging tickets to the first-row seats is definitely worth it!" The background of those photos is the same concert venue where I work part-time at. It's the most expensive venue in town. Apparently, tickets cost 2,900 dollars each.

Robin prometera a si mesma. Ela não deixaria mais o destino decidir a sua felicidade, nem a sua relação falhada. A felicidade era uma língua estrangeira para Robin Clay após a morte das suas irmãs, o assassinato brutal dos seus pais e o término devastador com o seu noivo infiel. Ela precisava de ultrapassar tudo isto: a mágoa, a traição, a dor, a angústia e a perda. À beira da sua viragem, conseguiu um emprego cobiçado na McCullen Confectionery, uma empresa multibilionária onde qualquer pessoa só poderia sonhar em trabalhar. Cedo descobriu que o seu chefe e CEO, Jack McCullen, era tudo aquilo com que jurara nunca se envolver: maduro, confiante, magnético, poderoso, perigosamente sedutor e de uma beleza cativante, abalava a sua determinação e deixava-a à sua mercê. Jack despertou nela todos os desejos desastrosos para os quais ela não estava preparada e dos quais se envergonhava profundamente, especialmente porque acreditava que ele estava comprometido com outra mulher. No entanto, o que começou como uma interação profissional entre eles rapidamente se transformou numa atração apaixonada e proibida, marcada por momentos roubados, química intensa e um conflito constante entre a contenção, a luxúria e os seus princípios morais. Estava dividida: reprimir os seus desejos ou entregar-se à paixão que Jack lhe evocava — uma paixão que parecia ao mesmo tempo inebriante, pecaminosa e destrutiva.
