Maria Von Messina

When Victoria Hale catches her fiancé kissing her cousin at their engagement party, the betrayal is only the beginning. In front of her entire family, he announces he never loved her and publicly humiliates her as delusional and desperate. Cornered and broken, Victoria makes an impulsive lie: she already has someone else. The problem? She points to Simon Reed, the mysterious homeless man she's been feeding at the local shelter. The bigger problem? Simon plays along. What Victoria doesn't know is that Simon Reed doesn't exist. He's actually Simon Savage, billionaire CEO hiding from a corporate betrayal that nearly destroyed him. Their courthouse wedding was supposed to be temporary, a favor to help her save face. But fake vows start feeling real. Protective touches linger too long. And Victoria's vengeful ex is digging into Simon's past, getting dangerously close to the truth. When Simon's identity explodes at a charity gala, Victoria realizes she hasn't just married a stranger. She's married one of the most powerful men in the world. And he might be the only man who's ever truly seen her.

Einen Monat vor unserer Hochzeit verkündete mein Verlobter, dass er mit seiner ersten großen Liebe ein Kind zeugen wolle. Ich war dagegen, doch er brachte es Tag für Tag zur Sprache. Zwei Wochen vor der Hochzeit erhielt ich einen Schwangerschaftstest. Erst da erfuhr ich, dass seine erste Liebe bereits seit fast einem Monat schwanger war. Er hatte nie vorgehabt, meine Zustimmung einzuholen. In diesem Moment lösten sich unsere jahrelangen Gefühle in Luft auf. Also sagte ich die Hochzeit ab, vernichtete alle Erinnerungen an ihre gemeinsame Zeit und begab mich am geplanten Hochzeitstag in ein abgeschottetes Forschungslabor. Von da an hatte ich nichts mehr mit ihm zu tun!

Sieben Mal band ich mich an denselben Alpha. Und sieben Mal zerstörte er unser Band wegen seiner Jugendliebe. Beim ersten Mal schwor er es unter dem Mond: „Astrid, meine Luna. Von diesem Tag an gehören mein Herz und mein Wolf allein dir.“ Doch in dem Moment, als seine kostbare Liana zurückkehrte, verwandelten sich seine Versprechen in Asche. „Kannst du nicht einfach geduldig sein? Du machst sie unwohl, es sieht so aus, als würde sie einen gebundenen Alpha verführen.“ Beim ersten Mal, als er mich zurückwies, verbrannte der Schmerz des zerbrochenen Bandes beinahe meinen Wolf. Sie schickten mich zu den Heilerinnen des Rudels, aber er kam nie. Kein einziges Mal. Beim dritten Mal schluckte ich meinen Stolz als Tochter eines Alphas hinunter. Ich trat seinem Rudel als Niemand bei, nur um seinem Duft nahe zu sein. Beim sechsten Mal kannte ich bereits das Spiel. Ich packte meine Sachen und verließ unser Penthaus ohne ein Wort. Meine Zusammenbrüche. Meine Kompromisse. Meine Hingabe. Für meinen Schmerz bekam ich nur seine mechanischen Entschuldigungen und denselben Verrat. Immer und immer wieder. Bis jetzt. In dem Moment, als ich hörte, dass Liana zurückkehrte, gab ich ihm selbst die Papiere, um unser Band zu lösen. Er setzte einfach ein Datum für unsere nächste Bindungszeremonie, als wäre nichts geschehen. Er hatte keine Ahnung. Dieses Mal brach ich nicht nur das Band. Ich zerschmetterte das Herz, das sieben Mal für ihn schlug, nur um sieben Mal von seinen eigenen Händen zerdrückt zu werden.

Lara Dela Cruz was a normal girl—well, normal in the sense that she was an overworked call center agent who hated her boss, loved iced coffee, and had mastered the art of sarcasm to survive the horrors of capitalism. But one night, while rushing home, she slipped on a puddle (thanks to her horrible luck) and hit her head hard on the pavement. When she woke up… she wasn’t in her world anymore. Instead, she found herself in a medieval kingdom, in the middle of a chaotic slave auction. And before she could even scream in protest, she was bought by the most feared man in the entire empire—Duke Alistair Von Nacht, also known as the Tyrant Duke. Now, instead of dealing with rude customers, she had to deal with an emotionally constipated warlord who could kill her with a flick of his fingers. But what’s worse? She might be falling for the grumpy tyrant.

Ngunit paano kung pagkatapos ng ilang taon ng pagtatago ay magtagpo sila sa kumpanya kung saan sekretarya siya nito?
