“Nova please, I beg of you. I will do anything to gain your forgiveness”.

I didn't know what I was saying, baby. I need you in my life”. He replied. “No.. Nova interrupted before he could even speak further. You have no fucking right to come back into my life”.

The level of betrayal I’ve experienced is unbelievable. Everything becomes complicated as the lies surface. Leaving and facing it alone are my only choices. I’m living in fear as I pick up pieces of a life, I believed lost. Blackmail, sabotage, and intrigue dog my steps. I don’t know who I can trust or how to win.

I hadn't seen my mafia husband, Luca Moretti, and our daughter Dora in three whole months. Why? Because his mother, Fiona, said Dora should stay with her "for a while." And Luca? He was "too busy with business," as always. So when Luca finally called and said he was going to pick me up for a family reunion at the villa, I was overjoyed. I thought maybe, just maybe, I'd finally get to hold my little girl again. I spent the whole damn day running around the city, buying her favorite dolls, snacks, a new pink dress, anything I thought would make her smile at me again. But when the car arrived, it wasn't what I imagined. Before I could even say Hi, Dora turned her head, took one look at me… and then wrapped her arms even tighter around Maria, the maid. She buried her face in Maria's neck like I wasn't even there. Like Maria was her mom. I tried to approach her, but Dora straight-up told me she didn't want to ride in the same car as me. And Maria, wearing that fake, polite smile, kept trying to gently talk me into giving Dora "a little more time." I looked over at Luca, hoping he'd step in. Instead, he just looked annoyed, like he couldn't be bothered to lift a finger to help fix things between me and our daughter. Clearly, they didn't want me there. So what was the point of trying to join the ride? I stepped back from the SUV. Then Luca just turned to me and said, "Just wait here. I won't be long." What he'll never understand is… I'm done waiting for him.

"You will stay here!" He demanded "I will not!" "You will, you are now a weakness of mine and you need to be protected" he said, I almost laughed at that statement, a weakness of his?, he survived Freya's death without running mad like my father, if I died he should rejoice, his bad luck would be finally over, seeing that the goddess had blessed him with a second mate, she might even bless him the third time and this time around it would not be the daughter of his worst enemy. "I am no weakness of yours, you did well in announcing how evil and worthless I was in front of your pack, how you wanted me to suffer. You should rejoice at my death!" I yelled, Kaden's face contorted more in anger and he growls before yelling out a statement that completely shook me and my entire existence "You might be with child. The Deity forbids I lose another pup again!". *************************************************Louisiana Reynolds is the daughter of the disgraced and killed Beta Darius Reynolds, the murderer of Alpha Kaden's first mate Freya, whom has been living a life of torture in her pack, RedSand as an atonement for her father's sin. While Louisiana sought for freedom she discovers that she is the second mate of Alpha Kaden as their fates has been intertwined. She then has to live with the Alpha that despises her and would not reject her.

— Malu, eu te amarei para sempre! — Eduardo rugiu em desespero com a voz carregada de desejo. No instante em que estavam prestes a alcançar o clímax, o celular dele começou a vibrar insistentemente. Em um momento como aquele, é claro que ele não deu importância. Mas logo a tela se acendeu e, no momento, que ele reconheceu o nome escrito na notificação, seus movimentos pararam de repente. Maria Luíza ouviu-o atender: — Alô? — Edu, você sabia que a Jordana... — No silêncio da noite, a voz do outro lado soou nítida. — Fale mais baixo, o momento não é conveniente. — Eduardo interrompeu em árabe, num tom contido. — O resultado dos exames saiu. — Do outro lado, a pessoa também passou a falar árabe, mas a voz continuava alta. — Jordana está com câncer terminal, e só tem um mês de vida! Ela quer ser sua esposa. Você pode realizar o último desejo dela antes que ela morra? — O quê? — O rosto de Eduardo mudou drasticamente. — Espera por mim! — Malu, surgiu uma urgência. — Ele se voltou para Maria após desligar o telefone. — Eu preciso sair um instante. Fique em casa descansando, eu volto logo. Sem esperar pela resposta dela, Eduardo levantou-se, lavou-se rapidamente, trocou de roupa e saiu sem olhar para trás. Logo em seguida, o celular de Maria vibrou. A tela iluminada mostrava a mensagem de Jordana Torres: [Maria, você perdeu. Eu já te disse antes que o Eduardo é meu.] E logo acima, tinha uma mensagem enviada por ela três dias antes: [Se eu tivesse câncer, você acha que Eduardo te deixaria para vir atrás de mim? Eu aposto que sim.] O olhar de Maria ergueu-se lentamente desviando a tela do celular até a porta do quarto, ainda aberta. Eduardo não sabia, mas ela já dominava o idioma árabe há tempos, e tinha entendido cada palavra daquela conversa. Depois de muito tempo em silêncio, um sorriso amargo se desenhou em seu rosto. — É... eu perdi...

She signed a contract with him to become the lady at his beck and call. He claimed, “This is for our mutual benefit. Once the contract expires, we will be nothing but strangers.” However, he broke his promise and refused to let her go. “Liam Ackman, when will you ever let me go?” His thin lips curled up into a smirk as he picked her up bridal style. “Anna Hamilton, you are mine for the rest of your life! Don’t even think about leaving!” Turned out, it had always been a trap, and she fell for it. There was no escaping his grasp!
