Meu Irmão Secreto: Um Presente Do Destino

Ich verbrachte sechs Monate und gab über 20.000 Euro damit aus, einen Familienurlaub zu planen. Als jedoch Alexanders Jugendliebe Victoria von unserer Reise hörte, flehte sie darum, sich uns anzuschließen. Alexander zögerte nicht. Er stornierte meinen Platz im geschützten Konvoi und gab ihn stattdessen ihr. Er zwang mich, allein durch das tödliche Schattenrudel-Territorium zu reisen – eine sechsunddreißigstündige Reise, bei der im letzten Monat drei Wölfe gestorben waren. Die ganze Familie unterstützte Alexanders Entscheidung, ohne einen Gedanken an meine Sicherheit zu verschwenden. Also änderte ich meine Reisepläne. Ich fuhr nach Norden statt nach Süden. Drei Monate lang amüsierte ich mich und ignorierte ihre Rudelverbindungs-Nachrichten. Da begann die Familie zu geraten...

To save my husband, I drank until my stomach bled. Despite making it to the hospital, no one would treat me—all because he, a prominent surgeon, forbade anyone from attending to his own wife. In a previous life, he had saved me, a deed that fate cruelly repaid: the same day he saved me, his beloved, Lily Evans, tragically died during surgery. Consumed by regret, he lamented, "If I hadn't saved you, she might still be alive." On my birthday, in a twisted celebration, he intoxicated both me and our daughter. In a horrifying turn, he used his surgical skills to ruthlessly stab us both. As I lay bleeding, I begged for our daughter's life, pleading with him to spare her, his biological child. He coldly justified his brutality by claiming that being tied to me caused him to miss his chance with his true love. Fueled by a desperate need to protect my daughter, I fought him ferociously. He inflicted thirty-eight merciless wounds on me before turning his murderous intent towards our child. As I faced death, my last sight was of him, his decision clear as he once again chose his lost love over his living family.

"Sign the papers, Estella." Marco slid the divorce papers across the mahogany table, his eyes fixed on Claudia, who hovered by his side with a victorious smile. "Did you really think a nobody like you could keep me?" Estella's throat tightened as she forced herself to meet his gaze. The diamond on Claudia's finger caught the light—his best friend now wearing what should have been hers forever. "You should be grateful," Claudia murmured, resting a hand on her belly. "Letting you go is the kindest thing we've done for you." When Estella married into the powerful Valdez family, she believed in love conquering all. Instead, she found herself cast out, Helena Valdez herself showing her the door when Claudia announced her pregnancy. Then Alejandro De Luca appeared—Marco's sworn enemy offering an unexpected proposition. "A contract marriage," he said simply. "You get protection. I get revenge." Together, they plotted to dismantle the very family that had humiliated her. With each calculated move, Estella reclaimed pieces of herself she thought lost forever. But revenge is a dangerous game. As their plan unfolded and tragedy struck, Estella discovered that survival meant more than settling scores—it meant learning to wield her pain as power. The quietest heart, after all, often hides the most dangerous storm.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

***EXCERPT*** "I could burn the world to ashes, and you would still be the only thing worth destroying," he whispered, his lips just close enough to feel my desperate, trembling breath, tears leaking down my eyes. "Your pain is beautiful, Tera," he whispered with a chilling smile. "It shows you're still trying to fight what you know you've already lost." *** Dr. Tera Williams thought her life couldn't sink any lower after signing the divorce papers her husband's mistress threw in her face.

Despite all the hurdles she had to endure from her current boss, she finds love again with Ryan, a single father, who is madly in love with her. But just as she's about to marry him, her worst nightmare resurfaces: She finds out that she is still legally married to her obsessive ex-husband, Logan, who has been doing everything possible to win her back.

No terceiro ano de casamento, Luiza Mello finalmente descobriu quem era a verdadeira dona do coração de Ethan Soares: sua cunhada, Gabriela. Na noite da morte do irmão mais velho de Ethan, ele ignorou completamente Luiza, sua esposa, que estava ao seu lado, e defendeu Gabriela sem hesitar. Ele chegou até a tomar um tapa por ela. Luiza sabia que Ethan só havia se casado com ela porque ela era submissa e sabia seu lugar. E, de fato, ela era tão "compreensiva" que até mesmo o divórcio aconteceu sem dar a ele qualquer trabalho. Ethan não sabia que ela já tinha o documento de divórcio em mãos. Ethan não sabia que ela estava prestes a se casar novamente. No dia em que Luiza apresentou ao mundo sua revolucionária cura para o câncer, ela foi aclamada globalmente. Mas enquanto todos aplaudiam, Ethan estava de joelhos, com lágrimas nos olhos, implorando: — Luiza, eu errei. Me perdoa. Volta para mim, por favor. Ele, sempre visto como um cavalheiro perfeito e impecável, agora se curvava, vulnerável, admitindo seus erros. Luiza recuou um passo, e antes que Ethan pudesse se aproximar, um homem poderoso e inalcançável segurou sua cintura. Ele era o CEO mais temido do país e declarou friamente: — Desculpe, Ethan, Ela vai se casar, mas é comigo.

Meu noivo era o principal neurocientista do país. A primeira namorada dele foi diagnosticada com câncer, e só lhe restava um mês de vida. Para acompanhá-la em sua última jornada. Ele me forçou a engolir um novo soro da amnésia que havia desenvolvido, para que eu o esquecesse por um mês. Durante esse mês, ele ficou ao lado da primeira namorada para organizar o casamento, passar a lua de mel, e prometer um reencontro em outra vida, no meio de um mar de flores. Um mês depois, ele, em prantos de sangue, ajoelhou-se sob a chuva e, com a voz rouca, me perguntou: — O efeito do remédio é só de um mês. Por que você me esqueceu para sempre?

"Repeat that, Bella. Say 'no' again, and I promise you that'll be the last thing you ever say on this earth," Damien Alejandro says, pointing a gun to my head. His icy, cold voice sent shivers down my spine, and somehow, his voice scared me more than the gun pressed to my temple. “I…I…I do," I stammered, the words tasting like bile on my lips. “You may now kiss the bride," the priest announced. --- Isabella is kidnapped on her wedding day and taken to an undisclosed location, where she is forced to marry a stranger, Damien Alejandro, who turns out to be a dangerous Mafia king. He claims her father sold her to him, but there's one problem—she has no father. She promised herself she wouldn't fall for the enemy, but what's a girl to do when a six-foot-three, gorgeous man shows a soft spot for her and can't keep his hands off her?

Langit hanya seorang lelaki biasa yang dipecat karena memperjuangkan nasibnya sebagai guru swasta. Sudah jatuh tertimpa tangga--di tengah-tengah perjalanan pulang, ia mengalami kecelakaan tunggal yang meremukkan seluruh tulangnya. Saat ia berpikir bahwa dirinya sudah mati, ia justru mendapati dirinya terlahir kembali di dunia lain, di Valandria; sebuah dunia di mana fantasi adalah kenyataan yang dapat ditemukan di setiap sudutnya. Sayangnya, Langit tidak terlahir kembali di kalangan orang-orang berkuasa, tidak pula sebagai seorang terpilih dengan bakat luar biasa yang mampu menaklukkan segala tantangan. Ia bahkan tidak terlahir kembali sebagai makhluk hidup. Ya, dia terlahir kembali sebagai seorang undead (mayat hidup), tepatnya sebagai seorang skeleton (monster rangka); salah satu bagian dari makhluk kegelapan yang menjadi musuh bebuyutan umat manusia di Valandria. Eits, berita buruk belum selesai. Langit tersadar di sebuah katakomba di Kota Magna, sebuah kota mati yang terkutuk dan kini telah menjadi hunian mayat-mayat hidup, makhluk kegelapan, dan kutukan. Parahnya, makhluk-makhluk kegelapan di Kota Magna ingin menghabisinya karena sebuah alasan yang belum diketahui. Harapannya untuk menikmati petualangan seru dan menakjubkan di Valandria akhirnya harus ia sisihkan di sudut sampai ia berhasil keluar dari tempat tertukut itu. Untuk itu, tentu saja, ia harus menjadi lebih kuat untuk dapat mengalahkan musuh-musuh yang berdatangan tanpa henti. Selain itu, rintangan yang dihadapi Langit rupanya bukan hanya makhluk-makhluk kegelapan, tetapi juga misteri pekat yang menyelubungi Kota Magna itu sendiri. Setidaknya, Langit memiliki sebuah sistem pemandu yang dipanggilnya dengan sebutan Narator. Dengan bantuan Narator, Langit menapaki jalan menuju puncak evolusi meski hanya sejengkal demi sejengkal karena, yah, Narator ternyata bukan sistem yang sempurna… Di kehidupan kedua ini, Langit memutuskan untuk menanggalkan identitas lamanya. Langit yang dulu sudah mati, sekarang nama barunya adalah O. Ya, O. Hanya satu huruf, O. Sebuah huruf yang mirip dengan angka nol; sebuah filosofi bahwa ia akan mengulangi kehidupannya kembali dari titik nol.
