For four years I was his secretary, and for four years I warmed his bed. I knew everything, from his family business to the secrets he whispered to me at night. But to him, I was nothing more than a toy he could summon whenever he pleased. The moment his first love, Sofia Costa, flew back into the country, he humiliated me without a second thought. He kissed her in a Sicilian church, abandoned me on a rain-soaked road with a gash ten inches long on my calf, and later dismissed me with a cold, cutting line. He said I was someone unimportant, someone he could simply ignore. She waved the tulip plush he'd given her in front of me. "I'm the only one he loves. You were just a stand-in." While I rebuilt my life in Chicago and finally found some peace, this ruthless Mafia don knelt outside my door, eyes red with emotion. "Elena, come back to me." I kicked his hand away with a smile. "Your so-called devotion disgusts me."

Eu estava casada havia cinco anos com Matteo, o Don da família Lamberti. Ninguém sabia que eu era sua esposa. Eu não queria os privilégios. Nem os holofotes. Então permaneci invisível. Nós estávamos apaixonados. Ainda parecia que estávamos namorando todos os dias. Então meu primeiro dia no novo hospital destruiu tudo. — Dra. Accardi, você não vai acreditar nisso. — Uma colega se inclinou, sorrindo. — Adivinha quem é o marido daquela nova paciente? Matteo, o maldito Matteo Lamberti. Eu congelei. Se ela era a esposa dele… então quem era eu? Ela estava grávida. Carregando o futuro herdeiro da família Lamberti. Então o que isso fazia do bebê dentro de mim? Eu me controlei. Fiz o exame. Interpretei o papel da médica calma e competente. Ninguém viu o pânico me dilacerando por dentro. Eu disse a mim mesma que era apenas fofoca. Mentiras. Tinha que ser. Então ouvi Matteo chamá-la de "minha princesa". Aquilo foi o fim. Ele tinha uma nova "princesa". E eu precisava deixá-lo ir.

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.

Ich war fünf Jahre lang mit Matteo verheiratet – dem Don der Familie Lamberti. Niemand wusste, dass ich seine Frau war. Ich wollte weder Privilegien noch Aufmerksamkeit und blieb deshalb im Verborgenen. Wir waren verliebt. Jeden Tag fühlte es sich an wie am Anfang. Dann zerstörte mein erster Tag im neuen Krankenhaus alles. „Frau Accardi, das glauben Sie nie.“ Eine Kollegin beugte sich zu mir, breit grinsend. „Raten Sie mal, wer der Ehemann der neuen Patientin ist? Matteo Lamberti höchstpersönlich.“ Ich erstarrte. Wenn sie seine Frau war – wer war dann ich? Sie war schwanger. Sie trug den künftigen Lamberti-Erben. Was machte das dann aus dem Baby in mir? Ich hielt die Fassade aufrecht. Ich führte die Untersuchung durch und spielte die ruhige, kompetente Ärztin. Niemand bemerkte die Panik, die an mir zerrte. Ich redete mir ein, dass es nur Klatsch war. Nichts als Lügen. Es musste so sein. Dann hörte ich, wie Matteo sie „meine Prinzessin“ nannte. Das war es. Er hatte eine neue Prinzessin. Und ich musste ihn loslassen.

The stranger moved closer, closing the space between him and Anna. His hand came up, gripping her jaw and tilting her face so she had no choice but to meet his gaze. “Are you sure about this?” he asked. Anna swallowed hard, her pulse racing. “Yes,” she breathed. “I want you to fuck me so hard I forget about my dickhead of a fiancé.” **************** Anna Hawkins was never supposed to fall into the arms of a stranger. But after walking in on her fiancé having sex with her best friend, pain drove her into the dark corners of a nightclub and straight into the arms of a man with cold eyes, inked skin, and a body that could ruin her. Their night was supposed to mean nothing. But unforeseen circumstances throw Anna into a brutal world of betrayal, power, crime, and possession. She wasn’t just heartbroken anymore. She was owned. And the most dangerous part? She didn’t know how to escape from her cruel fate.

Eu era a principal conselheira da Família Falcone. O cérebro deles. E hoje, eu estava indo embora — entregando os registros de todos os negócios legítimos que eu administrava e cortando meu último laço. Meu protegido não conseguia entender. — Você é o futuro desta Família, Aurelia. Não pode simplesmente ir embora. Balancei a cabeça com um sorriso amargo. Eles não sabiam. Eu estava secretamente casada com o Don, Vittorio Falcone, há três anos. Eu achava que minha aparência, minha inteligência e tudo o que eu havia oferecido a ele seriam suficientes para conquistar todo o seu amor. Uma execução nas docas, três meses atrás, me mostrou a verdade. Levei treze tiros. Era uma emergência. Eu precisava do cirurgião da família — o que exigia uma ordem direta de Vittorio. Liguei para ele mais de uma dúzia de vezes. Mas quando ele finalmente atendeu, tudo o que ouvi foi uma voz suave e ofegante do outro lado. — Vittorio, ainda não cortamos meu bolo de aniversário. Você pode segurar minha mão e cortar comigo? Aquela voz. Minha melhor amiga. A mulher por quem Vittorio já tinha se apaixonado. Carina. No esconderijo, fraca pela perda de sangue, retirei eu mesma a bala e mandei um dos meus homens me levar às pressas para uma clínica da família. Pouco antes de me levarem para a sala de cirurgia, Vittorio invadiu o lugar — carregando Carina. Era uma torção no tornozelo. Ela precisava de um médico. Agora. Meu cirurgião foi levado embora. Os antibióticos chegaram tarde demais. O ferimento infeccionou. Eu lutei pela minha vida por uma semana. Quando acordei, encarei meu celular. Nem uma única mensagem. As lágrimas finalmente vieram. Eu entendi. Eu era apenas a mulher com quem ele foi forçado a se casar depois de ser drogado e de dormir comigo. Um escândalo evitado. Tudo o que importava para ele era o meu valor e a reputação dele. E eu? A princesa secreta da Família Rossi, que havia aberto mão de tudo para construir o império dele. Tudo por nada. Então eu preparei quatro presentes de despedida. Uma celebração da nossa destruição mútua. E então ele nunca mais me veria.
