"I hate you," I whispered against his lips. Ang tingin ay hindi na mapirmi sa matinding hilo. "You're seriously saying that when I can literally feel you trembling with my every touch," he smirked darkly and claimed my lips for a painful kiss. I moaned in pain and pleasure as he pushed me against the wall. Cianna Juarez has everything every woman could dream of. Beauty and cleverness, riches and fame. Ngunit ang kaisa-isang bagay na hindi niya makamit-kamit ay ang pag-ibig ng lalaking mahal niya, Alexander Malin Del Rio. They have been friends since time immemorial, but he never showed interest on her romantically. She did everything to make him love her, anything to keep him away from his love. Kesehodang tuluyan itong magalit sa kanya. But fate turned a complete flip when something happened between her and Santiago Lopez, ang lalaking noong una pa lang ay hindi niya na gusto. Maliit ang tingin niya rito dahil sa pagiging ulila at bastardo. One sinful and drunken night changed her life in a blink of an eye. Afraid of people's prejudices and judgments, she left Malolos carrying the very fruit of that mistake. Sa kanyang pagbabalik, makakaya niya kayang harapin ang kahihiyan? At higit sa lahat, makakaya niya kayang harapin ang alab ng galit ni Santi?

“No! Please, Santiago--” I whimpered, as his hand seized my wrist with an iron grip, yanking me forward, dragging me effortlessly toward the chair he had pulled into the center of the room the night before. The symbol of my humiliation. He stopped right in front of the chair, spinning me around, facing him. "You want me to be your monster, mi ángel?" His hand grabbed my throat, tilting my chin up until my eyes locked with his dark gaze. I flinched from the sudden movement. "Cause I’ll be your favorite monster — just say the word, cariño." Santiago’s face hovered only inches from mine. His lips so close, I could taste the sweetness of his breath — once making butterflies take flight in my stomach, now curdling my insides into a cold, suffocating fear. Slowly, his free hand rose toward my face. I held my breath. His touch was deceptively soft and gentle, caressing my cheek. His thumb lingered against my lips, tracing them slowly, his eyes fixed there as he spoke — his voice soft, yet heavy with menace. "Divorce is not an option, mi amor. We took a vow five years ago. Remember?" He finally lifted his gaze to meet mine, catching every flicker of fear before he delivered his last words like a verdict: "Till death do us part."

Traída pelo noivo, ela bateu na porta do homem mais perigoso da cidade no meio da noite, buscando uma única noite de prazer. Para ela, era apenas uma forma de vingança, mas não imaginava que cairia na armadilha cuidadosamente planejada pelo homem. Isabela Santiago era conhecida como a beleza mais deslumbrante da Cidade J, mas, infelizmente, era uma puxa-saco que todos sabiam mais patética da alta sociedade. Após ser traída, ela virou motivo de piada em toda a cidade. Quem diria que ela daria a volta por cima e se agarrou ao homem mais poderoso da Cidade J? Ela achou que depois daquela noite cada um seguiria seu caminho, mas para sua surpresa, o grande chefe não a deixou mais em paz. Em uma noite qualquer, o homem bateu na sua porta, seu olhar frio e ameaçador transmitia uma certa intenção maliciosa: — O que foi? Me provocou e agora quer fugir? E desde então, ela não conseguiu mais escapar das garras dele, chorando todas as noites de dor na cintura. Alguém poderia explicar por que aquele homem sempre de cara fechada, era tão difícil de lidar?!

“Do you know how many nights I’ve thought about those? How I imagined sliding your dress up and seeing you in them… in my room, or my office… gagged so you wouldn’t scream my name?” “Say the word, Renata,” he whispered, voice rough. “And I’ll have you right here… where anyone could knock. Where you could get caught with your husband’s father’s cock inside you.” She gasped. But she didn’t say no. ******** One reckless night. A stranger’s touch. Her ruin. The night before her wedding, Renata surrendered to a man whose name she didn’t know… A man who made her tremble, moan, and beg for more in the shadows. The next morning, he was at the wedding hall too…Watching her walk down the aisle to his son. Domingo Serrano. Powerful. Predatory. Possessive. And he’s not done with her. He wants her again. And again. Once a week. No excuses. No escape. But Renata isn’t just drowning in lust and shame. She’s chasing answers. Her parents were murdered under the guise of an auto accident. The killer is hiding behind the walls of the Hidalgo empire. Santiago, her charming husband, has secrets. Lady Constanza, his mother, wears lies like pearls. And Domingo? He’s the darkest of them all. Now Renata’s playing with fire, and carrying a secret that could burn everyone: She’s pregnant. And she doesn’t know if the father is her husband… or his father.

El día de la sentencia, mi prometido Diego González me tomó de la mano, sollozando, y me pidió que dejara de defender mi inocencia y firmara un acuerdo de culpabilidad. —Clara, sé que tú no hiciste nada… pero Isabella está esperando un hijo mío. No puedo permitir que ella vaya a la cárcel. Hazlo por tu bien, por favor —suplicó, con lágrimas que le empañaban la mirada. Sin dudarlo ni un instante, firmé el acuerdo. En mi vida anterior me negué a cargar con la culpa de Isabella García y, por eso, no solo terminé tras las rejas: la furia de Diego envió gente a torturarme hasta dejarme estéril. Esta vez me propuse complacerlo. A la mañana siguiente, los noticieros reventaron con la primicia de que yo había robado secretos comerciales de la Corporación López. Para colmo, Isabella se presentó como testigo. —Sí, fue ella; la vi con mis propios ojos infiltrarse en la compañía —declaró ante las cámaras. Pero aquella tarde, cuando inició la audiencia, el demandante Santiago López, director general de la corporación, retiró la acusación. Bajo la mirada atónita de la prensa, sacó un anillo, se arrodilló y me preguntó: —Clara, ¿en esta vida aceptarías casarte conmigo?
