Más Fuerte Que El Dolor

My husband, Francis Zouche, thought we weren't well-off and could not afford to raise a child. So, he forcibly took me to the hospital to get an abortion. Right after the surgery, I discovered that he had transfered 200 thousand dollars to his first love, Heidi Colman, for her birthday. Out of pure rage, I got into a huge fight with him in the car, which led to an accident that killed us both. When I opened my eyes, we had returned to the day before our wedding. In our previous life, we were married for ten years. We weathered storms and supported each other, but Francis never wanted us to have a child of our own. On the day I died, I finally understood that the one he loved was Heidi. After getting a second shot at life, I decided to fulfill his wish. We canceled the wedding, blocked each other's phone numbers, and never contacted each other again. Eight years later, Francis became a top lawyer in Alvren and publicly proposed to Heidi at a law forum. Seeing that I was still single, he mocked me with a sneer, "Yvette, I know you loved me for two lifetimes. But I am getting married now. Don't keep waiting for me to come back to you." I glanced at him wordlessly and bent down to pick up my daughter before walking away. As a shocking realization hit him, his eyes reddened. He questioned furiously, "Didn't you promise to love me forever and to only give birth to my children?"

La chica que le gusta a mi hermano me acusó falsamente de bullying. Mi hermano, el mismo con quien había compartido todo desde siempre, en un arrebato de furia, me mandó a un convento para que me corrigieran. Con el tiempo, me volví la hermana perfecta que él siempre había soñado: callada, obediente, sin deseos propios. Pero cuando leyó mi historial médico, perdió la razón. —¡Natalia, por favor... llámame hermano una vez más!

En mi vida pasada, Leon, el Alfa que se suponía que completaría conmigo la ceremonia de marcado, cambió de repente a su compañera elegida por mi hermana menor, Rose, justo el día del ritual. Al verlos a los dos comportarse con tanta intimidad, una oleada de humillación me barrió por dentro. Sin embargo, justo cuando estaba a punto de dar un paso al frente y exigir una explicación, la manada fue atacada por sorpresa. Los tres morimos en el motín. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, había regresado al día de la ceremonia de marcado. Esta vez, decidí cumplirles el deseo. Después de liderar a los miembros para sofocar el motín que habría ocurrido en mi vida pasada, dejé la manada y me adentré en la sociedad humana. Creí que en esta vida jamás volvería a cruzarme con ellos. No obstante, tres años después, el día de un banquete de cumpleaños, me reencontré inesperadamente con Rose y Leon. Rose se acurrucaba con timidez en los brazos de Leon, y me saludó con una expresión de sorpresa fingida. —¡Claire! ¿Qué haces en un banquete tan grandioso como este? ¿No te habías ido a vivir a la sociedad humana? Cuando guardé silencio, Rose se burló de mí con una risita. —¿No me digas que no pudiste sobrevivir en la sociedad humana y ahora quieres volver a la manada? Leon me miró de reojo, con un asco que ni siquiera intentó ocultar. —Jamás aceptaría dejar que regreses a la manada, ni aunque te arrodillaras a suplicármelo. Pero, pénsandolo bien, como mi esclava todavía calificas. Podríamos volver a como era antes. Sonreí, apenas. Yo estaba allí porque mi compañero era el nuevo Ultima de la Alianza de las manadas de lobos. Y ese exquisito banquete de cumpleaños había sido preparado especialmente para mí.

Tres meses después de que mi esposo, Josiah Erikson, desapareciera en un accidente de esquí, lo vi en un bar. Él reía a carcajada limpia, con un brazo envuelto naturalmente alrededor de los hombros de su «mejor amiga», Mónica Jones. —Menos mal que se les ocurrió esta idea. Casi había olvidado cómo se siente la libertad. Uno tras otro, sus amigos chocan sus copas con él y le preguntan cuándo planea reaparecer. Bajó la mirada y lo pensó antes de decir: —En una semana. Apareceré cuando ella se haya vuelto completamente loca buscándome. De pie entre las sombras, lo vi saborear su libertad, y entonces llamé a mi amiga que trabaja en la oficina estatal de registros civiles.

Amar a Gabriel Morales era un secreto inconfesable. Porque Gabriel no era cualquier hombre: era el tío de Camila Flores. Ella era la rosa que él había cultivado con ternura… y él era el amor que ella no podía nombrar en voz alta.

“You murderer!” No A resounding slap followed those words from Katrina’s Mother-in-law. The entire extended family gasped in shock but no one made a move to help. Not even Katrina’s husband, Damon Winchester. He just stood there, watching lazily, like he always did while his mother berated her for every little thing. But this wasn’t little, no. This was more than the fine china dishes that were one of the family’s heirlooms which Katrina broke last thanksgiving and earned her harsh insults from her mother-in-law. This was nothing like the family dinner she made last Christmas that caused half the kitchen to catch fire, needing a renovation. This couldn't be compared to that afternoon in summer, when she knocked over an antique vase while dusting, freezing as it cracked clean down the middle and her mother-in-law murmured that Katrina’s touch spoiled anything of value. No. This was the death of the only woman who loved someone as unlovable as Katrina. The woman who raised her. The woman who constantly fought for Katrina’s place in the Winchester Family even when she didn’t belong. Alana Winchester, Damon’s grandmother. Like every other thing, it was all her fault. Everything Katrina touched turned to ashes.

Five days before my wedding, a group of MadeMen drag me to an underground casino. "I'm the fiancé of Lorenzo Gambino, Don of the Gambino family and Gambino Corporation! Think of the consequences you'll face if you dare touch a hair on my head!" My stern warning is met by mocking laughter. I curl up in agony under the brutal blows of their baseball bats; they pierce my ankles with sharp blades, severing my tendons. I gather the remnants of my consciousness to shield my abdomen, where my and Lorenzo's child grows. Lorenzo finally arrives with hired mercenaries. He razes the underground casino to the ground and saves me. I lie on the hospital bed and force myself to hang on. I don't want to end up in a coma. Unexpectedly, I overhear Lorenzo's conversation with a doctor. "It's not too late to operate, Boss. If we delay this any longer, Ms. Jones won't be able to stand anymore! There are many other ways for you to marry Ms. Valente—why did you have to do this to Ms. Jones?" "Being crippled is the only way Renee will obediently accept my and Kelly's child. I can keep a cripple by my side but not a troublemaker. Kelly values ceremony more than anything—I promised her I would give her a perfect wedding," Lorenzo says coldly. "But… Ms. Jones is pregnant. She's four months along…" "Make her miscarry, then." Tears stream down my face without anyone noticing. It turns out no one wants to bless the wedding I've been looking forward to. If so, any woman who wants to be Lorenzo's wife can have him. He's just a small mafia boss, anyway. I'm going back to being the heiress of the East Coast mafia's Don. I'll be the queen of my own life.
