Omni-man Head Crush

Beneath the diamond rings and curated smiles lies a prison dressed in silk. When Damon’s estranged brother, Jace, resurfaces with proof that her marriage was built on a lies, Ariella’s illusion begins to shatter. With a mysterious informant feeding her truths and Damon watching her every move, she turns seduction into strategy and love into leverage. But Damon isn’t a man who can be played, and Ariella is done being owned. In a war of love, loyalty, and legacy, only one will walk free.

On the day I'm supposed to get promoted as the deputy director, I pick up a 40-pound barbell before breaking my right arm with it. Because of the injury, I missed the only title-evaluating surgery available in five years. Everyone feels sorry for me, seeing as I've practically ruined my own future with my own hands. But I, on the other hand, am so excited about it that I've downed two bottles of vintage wine in one go. Because in my past life, I spent ten hours in surgery and pulled the patient back from the brink of death. But my wife, Megan Reese, immediately accused me of abusing my power as a doctor just to resolve a personal vendetta by killing her first love, Pierre Hopkins, on purpose. She bribed the nurses who were in the same surgery as me. They were adamant that I used the wrong medication purposefully, which led to the patient dying from a rupture. Not only was my career destroyed, but I also became a public enemy, hated by everyone. My mom tried to seek justice on my behalf, only to get cyberbullied by the Internet users, who knew nothing about the truth, to the point that she broke down. In the end, she accidentally fell into the river and drowned. When I received the tragic news, I chose to end my life by jumping off the hospital's rooftop. After I died, Megan spent my assets however she wanted. She also lived happily ever after with Pierre, who apparently "came back to life". When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day I'm supposed to perform a surgery on Pierre.

On my way to a meeting at work, I call my daughter, who is at home. Instead, I hear a voice identical to mine over the phone. She claims that she is me three years in the future. "Dezarae, go home to Liv right now. Your daughter is in danger." I am stunned. I argue in disbelief and question who is behind this prank. When I step on the accelerator, she stops me sternly. "Do not drive ahead any further. There will be a traffic accident at the intersection where Peace Street is." In the next second, at the intersection that is less than 30 feet away from me, two cars collide. Cold sweat starts to trickle down my back when the woman with a voice identical to mine says, "Liv will fall off a building and die in three hours. This is your only chance to save her."

Caitlynn Nocella is human. She bleeds, she feels empathy for cute things like kittens in a teacup, she's optimistic and bubbly, and she forgives easily. Blaise Jacobson is a ghoul. A hot-head cocky and careless ghoul who feeds on human flesh once a fortnight and is blunt as hell. When Blaise saves Caitlynn from being killed by ghouls, he inadvertently drags her into a world of ghouls and humans combined. Suddenly everything is different and the ghouls she meet aren't exactly your typical 'monsters hiding in the closet'. Falling for a ghoul is hard, especially when you know how hot-headed and damaged he is, but maybe Caitlynn could change that, but at what cost?

Semua tampak begitu nyata, hingga aku pun memutuskan untuk membalikkan takdir! Hanya saja, mengapa lelaki itu tak percaya? Bahkan pamannya yang paling berkuasa di keluarga kini ikut mengejarku dan ingin memanjakanku...?

Pasé tres años enamorada de Santiago Mendoza, el mejor amigo de mi hermano. Él jamás quiso hacer pública nuestra relación. Pero nunca dudé de su amor. Después de todo, tras haber estado con 99 mujeres, desde que estaba conmigo ni siquiera miraba a otras. Incluso si solo era un simple resfriado, él dejaba proyectos de millones de dólares en el acto y volaba a casa para cuidarme. Llegó mi cumpleaños. Feliz, me preparaba para contarle a Santiago que estaba embarazada. Pero por primera vez, se olvidó por completo de mi cumpleaños y desapareció sin dejar rastro. La sirviente me dijo que había ido al aeropuerto a recibir a alguien muy importante. Me dirigí al aeropuerto. Allí lo vi, con un ramo de flores en las manos y el rostro tenso, esperando a una joven. Una joven que se parecía mucho a mí. Más tarde, mi hermano me contó que ella era el primer amor que Santiago nunca podría olvidar. Santiago se enfrentó a sus padres por ella, y cuando ella lo dejó, perdió la cabeza y buscó 99 parecidas para sobrellevar el dolor. Mi hermano lo dijo con admiración, conmovido por lo profundo que podía ser Santiago. Lo que no sabía era que su propia hermana era solo una más entre esas sombras del pasado. Los observé a los dos durante un largo, largo rato. Luego, di media vuelta y volví al hospital. —Doctor, no quiero tener a este bebé.

I came here on a scholarship. No parents. No safety net. Just brains, bruises, and a shot at a better life. Now they want me on the hockey team? I’ve never even touched a stick. And if I say no—I lose everything. The only thing colder than the rink is how they look at me. The rich girls with their designer skates and perfect smiles. The coach who’d rather pretend I don’t exist. And him—Jaxon Reid, the team’s golden boy, who skates like sin and speaks with his eyes more than his mouth. He thinks I’m a joke. They all do. But I’ve fought for every inch of my life, and I’m not about to back down now. Not when college is the only thing standing between me and going back to nothing. So I’ll lace up. I’ll fall, I’ll bruise, I’ll bleed if I have to. And maybe—just maybe—I’ll learn how to play their game better than they do. Because survival isn’t about being the best. It’s about refusing to lose.

Renací la noche en que el Alfa perdió el control a causa de la magia oscura y su celo se desbordó por completo. Esta vez, no me convertí en su remedio. En lugar de eso, llamé a su verdadero amor: mi propia hermana. En mi vida pasada, me enamoré de Nicholas, el Alfa de nuestra manada. Cuando descubrí que había sido maldecido por una antigua magia oscura y que no podía controlar su celo, tomé una decisión que nunca debí tomar. No lo rechacé. Un mes después, descubrí que estaba embarazada. Como Alfa, Nicholas necesitaba un heredero. El Consejo de Ancianos lo obligó a celebrar una ceremonia de marcación conmigo. El día de la ceremonia, Leah no pudo aceptarlo. Huyó del territorio de la manada. Unos lobos rogue la atacaron. Antes de morir, Leah le envió a Nicholas noventa y nueve señales de auxilio a través del vínculo mental. Pero Nicholas estaba en medio de la ceremonia de marcación —por petición mía— y no respondió ni una sola vez. Después, cuando la manada trajo de vuelta lo que quedaba del cuerpo de Leah, su rostro permaneció inquietantemente sereno. Pero la noche de la primera luna llena de nuestro cachorro, me envenenó con acónito de lobo. Antes de morir, escuché su voz, fría como el hielo: —Si no hubieras quedado embarazada, no me habrían obligado a marcarte. No me habría perdido la llamada de auxilio de Leah. Su muerte es culpa tuya. Y vas a pagarlo. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, había regresado a la noche en que Nicholas cayó víctima de la maldición.
