Magoada Pelo Amor, Salva Pelo Sacrifício

Estaba a punto de dar a luz cuando Liana, la ex de mi esposo, llegó a nuestra casa con la excusa de que solo se quedaría unos días. Cada vez que me veía, se llevaba la mano al pecho, como si el solo hecho de verme embarazada la hiciera sufrir. Bruno, mi esposo, estaba convencido de que yo estaba provocándola a propósito, solo por tener la barriga enorme. —Lia no se siente bien, no puede tener hijos. ¡Y tú sigues paseándote así, como si nada! ¡Se nota que necesitas una lección para que aprendas! Dicho esto, mandó que me encerraran en el viejo ático que llevaba años sin usarse, y ordenó que nadie me subiera comida. Lloré y le rogué que me dejara salir. Le expliqué que la última ecografía mostraba que los gemelos eran enormes, que el doctor había dicho que debía ir al hospital de inmediato. Pero, para él, eso fue como si le contara un chiste sin gracia. —Todavía faltan tres días. No me vengas con cuentos —me respondió sin una sola gota de compasión—. ¡Ve al ático y ponte a pensar en lo que hiciste! ¡Pagarás por estar molestando a Lia! Las contracciones eran tan brutales que, arañando la madera podrida, acabé arrancándome las uñas. Gritaba tan fuerte que me dolía la garganta, pero nadie acudió en mi auxilio. La sangre me cubría el cuerpo y empapaba todo el suelo. Uno de los bebés ya había salido, pero el otro se quedó atrapado en mi vientre, atorado en un baño de sangre. Tres días después, Bruno estaba sentado, tomando sopa y, como si nada, dijo: —Que Michelle me sirva más sopa y le pida perdón a Lia. Si lo hace, la llevaremos al hospital para que tenga a los niños. Nadie dijo nada. Porque la sangre que bajaba desde el ático ya había llegado hasta el segundo escalón.

This is the story of Millicent Walker, a mysterious orphan who arrives in the small coastal town of Crimson, mute, nameless, and with no memory of her life before. Hired out by the orphanage to pay for her room and board, her strange appearance and mannerisms lead her to be seen as a freak. To many, she was seen as having less value than the rags she used to clean the floors. When a blight comes to Crimson, the dragon demands a virgin "of marriageable age" as a sacrifice in exchange for his assistance. Seen as strange, even cursed, Millicent was an easy choice for the sacrifice. Loved and wanted by no one, there was nobody to fight for her when they chained her to the cart and left her at the base of the hill to be defiled or devoured. Little did they know, her sacrifice would be their biggest mistake.

"Why do you hate me so much, Maan" she asked hiccupping, hitting his chest. "I never said that" he said holding her hands. ____________________________________ "So, my Ita, how does it feels to be Mrs. Dutta," he asked holding her from behind while making eye contact in the mirror. "Best feeling in this world, Mr. Dutta" she replied kissing his cheek. ____________________________________ "I BLOODY ASKED YOU TO DO ONE THING BUT YOU CAN'T EVEN DO THAT!" he shouted slamming the wooden desk with his fists. "I am sorry, sir" she replied with tears welling up in her eyes. ____________________________________ "I will kill that man if I see him near you again" he said dangerously running his index finger from her forehead to neck. "W...why" she asked stammering. "Because you are mine"...

Looking up I see a boy I had never seen before, a cocky smirk graced his features. "Here you go" he said handing me the pencil I just nodded my head confused as to where he came from since the hallway was dead silent just moments before. Looking over his shoulder I see six other guy's watching the situation. Looking them all up and down I can't deny that their all definitely attractive. Looking back at the guy infront of me I look into his brown eyes a light spark of pink shinning in them. I smiled slightly not being able to find my voice so I begin nodding my head a little in thanks. Turning to walk away I begin to exit the hallway "what no thank you?" a voice called out causing me to turn around. Looking back I see the guy that handed me my pencil his arms lightly spread out with shock across his features. "Right, thanks" I started staring at him before looking at the other six as they all stared at me expectantly, at this moment I guess I really had no idea why. "Oh, right" I started causing them all to perk up "welcome to our hell hole new kids" I continued with a smirk opening my arms up, just like the guy did when he called out to me.

For her age, Annalia is too skeptical and callous. She indifferently accepted the move from the metropolis to a provincial town on the shores of the open sea. And with the same indifference, she agreed to spend a couple of months in a psychoneurological sanatorium. This is how her meaningless gray days would have passed, if not for new acquaintances from neighboring houses. Having become interested in Leah, they radically change her life and saturate her with all shades of emotions. But is she able to accept all the changes?

"Like what you see?" he asked, his voice low and seductive. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "You're lying," he commented, his voice husky. "I can smell your desire, Gracie. You want me, just as much as I want you." ~~~~~ "You have no right to judge me or my actions! How dare you?!" He spat at her. Gracie swallowed hard, feeling a wave of fear wash over her, as he called out to his guards. "Strip her of all her clothings, and put her where she belongs!" he barked, pointing towards her. __________ In a far-away land, there lived a powerful Lycan King who was dreaded by all, for his cruelty and mercilessness was way beyond the imagination of all under his reign, and far away from him. Alpha Jerri was no match to anyone, and even his closest pals feared for their lives. All the young girls around went into hiding all because of his cruelty, yet, getting any of his choice to satisfy his lust, took him nothing to achieve. Gracie, a young girl who was at the mercy of her father, was frustrated with her life, but only a glimmer of hope kept her going… A story of pain, trauma, lust and insane satisfaction… leading to a cloudy world of the unknown.. Gracie must stay strong to hang on, or be at the mercy of her oppressors!

Helena achava que conhecia o amor. Achava que o casamento com Cássio — o carismático designer e fundador de um império — seria o retrato perfeito da vida que sempre sonhou. Mas por trás das paredes de vidro e dos sorrisos calculados, havia rachaduras invisíveis. E quando a traição veio à tona, tudo desabou. Entre os estilhaços da própria vida, Helena se vê obrigada a recomeçar. Longe dos holofotes e das aparências, ela descobre a solidão, o medo — e, pouco a pouco, a força que sempre existiu dentro dela. O reencontro com Santiago, um artista intenso e enigmático que nunca a esqueceu, reacende algo esquecido: o desejo de viver por si mesma, não pelos outros. Mas Cássio não é o tipo de homem que aceita perder. Enquanto tenta salvar sua imagem pública e o império que construiu, ele se vê cada vez mais prisioneiro das próprias mentiras — e da obsessão de Silvia, sua funcionária ambiciosa, que está disposta a tudo para tê-lo, mesmo que precise destruir o que resta ao redor. Entre espelhos e máscaras, verdades e versões, Quadros de um Divórcio é um retrato visceral sobre o fim — e tudo o que nasce depois dele. Um romance sobre mulheres que aprendem a se ver além dos reflexos, homens que confundem poder com amor, e as arestas cortantes de um mundo onde cada escolha pode ser um golpe… ou uma libertação. Quando o verniz das aparências começa a rachar, quem sobrevive: o que você era — ou quem você finalmente escolhe ser?
