When I turn 20, my grandfather's old friend—now the richest man in the country—lays out photos of his grandsons in front of me. He says, "Pick one to be your husband." Without hesitation, I choose Nathaniel Chapman. Everyone in the room is stunned. After all, it's no secret I've always been hopelessly in love with George Chapman. I used to swear I'd marry no one but him. In my previous life, I got what I wanted—I married George. And because of that marriage, he inherited the lion's share of his grandfather's wealth. But after the wedding, he started an affair with my sister. My parents were furious and sent her abroad to study. George thought I was the one who exposed them. From then on, he hated me to my very core. Women came and went at his side, each one resembling my sister more than the last. The betrayal crushed me. I fell into deep depression. Later, he secretly replaced my medication with slow-acting poison. I died with a child in my womb—alone, bitter, and betrayed. Now, I've been reborn. This time, I choose to let them have each other. But what I don't expect is that George has been reborn too.

No quinto ano do meu amor por Gabriel, ele herdou do irmão falecido o título de Senhor dos Vampiros — e também a viúva dele: Chloe, a antiga Rainha de Sangue. Por sangue e por lei, ela era minha parente por aliança dentro do clã. Sempre que voltava dos aposentos dela, Gabriel me abraçava com ternura e sussurrava: — Isabella, Chloe é apenas minha Consorte Escolhida. Assim que ela gerar e der à luz o Herdeiro do Clã Blazetooth, eu me unirei a você por meio de um Vínculo de Sangue. Ele dizia que aquela era a única condição exigida pela família para que pudesse ascender como Senhor dos Vampiros. Durante os seis meses depois que retornamos ao Clã Blazetooth, ele atendeu ao chamado dela cem vezes. No começo, uma vez por mês. Depois, uma vez por semana. E, por fim, todas as noites. Na centésima noite em que fiquei acordada esperando por ele, Chloe finalmente concebeu. A notícia chegou acompanhada de outro anúncio: Gabriel e Chloe em breve seriam unidos por Sangue. Meu filho olhou para mim, confuso e inocente. — Mãe… eles não disseram que o papai faria um Vínculo de Sangue com a Rainha de Sangue que ele ama? Por que ele ainda não veio nos levar para casa? — Porque — respondi baixinho, passando a mão em seus cabelos — a Rainha de Sangue que ele ama nunca foi a sua mãe aqui. — Mas tudo bem. — Acrescentei. — Eu vou te levar para casa. Para a nossa própria casa. O que Gabriel jamais percebeu foi isto: como única filha de um Rei Vampiro no reinado, eu nunca me importei nem um pouco com o título de Rainha de Sangue do Clã Blazetooth.

(A REWRITE OF TANGLED WITH THE MAFIA KING) "I am married!" I spat into his face. "You can't just walk in here and spew nonsense just because I am carrying your baby." His smirk returned, and I realised that I had made a mistake that day. That day, I thought I was getting into bed with a gentle soul. But this man in front of me has the darkest of auras. It is the kind that makes it hard to look away or slam the door in his face. So, when he took another step closer, I could barely move. Then, he said, "I don't care if you are married. Now that I've seen you, coming with me is undebatable." ~~~ One reckless night in Venice with a dangerously attractive stranger was supposed to be Carrie’s final act of rebellion before an arranged marriage.

There was only one week left until my marking ceremony with Alpha Mason Wright. And this time, he was asking to postpone it yet again, all because his puphood sweetheart, Eira Padmore, the she-wolf who once saved his life, had another episode. She was in tears, begging to go to Bhador to see the snow, just like every time before, claiming she wouldn't be able to breathe otherwise. The ceremony had already been pushed back three times. All the wolves of the north had been waiting for us to complete it. But I was done waiting, and so was the pup growing inside me. If Mason refused to mark me, then I'd walk away and build my own future. But what I couldn't understand was... Why was it that the moment I left, Mason went mad searching for me, and suddenly insisted on marking me after all?

At the annual company raffle, I had barely stepped onto the stage when my supervisor, Lily Smith, pressed a crumpled slip of paper into my palm. "A special reward for our top salesperson," she chirped. "Go ahead, open it. Let everyone see." Under the eager gaze of the crowd, I unfolded the note. Written in messy handwriting were the words: Clean the company toilets for three days. The room erupted in laughter. Lily folded her arms, cocked her head, and smirked at me. "Nice, right?" she said. "Everyone knows those sales of yours came from sleeping with old men. Dirty money. To keep things fair, the others get a break, and you pick up a little extra work. You don't have a problem with that, do you?" The laughter surged again, nearly lifting the roof. From the side of the room, my boyfriend, Seth Hoffman, the company's CEO, watched everything unfold. As usual, he said nothing in my defense. They all thought I would fall apart, cry, or make a scene. Instead, I simply gave a calm nod. The very next day, the company was hit with over three hundred property cancellations. Its cash flow collapsed overnight. That was when Lily and Seth rushed to me, demanding I go plead with the buyers. I smiled and said, "No thanks. I wouldn't want to help the company recover and end up with strong numbers again. That might make everyone even more uncomfortable."

Quando a data do meu parto estava se aproximando, descobriram uma grande inconsistência nos registros de armas da família Galante. Então, a liderança tomou uma rápida decisão: Eles decidiram enviar a mim, Sophia Vitale, a esposa do Don, a mulher que eles diziam não ter nada melhor para fazer, para inspecionar pessoalmente o arsenal e verificar o inventário. Eu pensei que fosse só uma checagem de rotina e jamais imaginei que a irmã de criação do meu marido, Monica Leone, fosse aproveitar a oportunidade para explodir todo o arsenal comigo dentro. A explosão foi ensurdecedora. O fogo rasgou o céu. O concreto desabou ao meu redor, esmagando meu corpo enquanto uma dor alucinante rasgava meu abdômen. Mas eu não liguei para o meu marido em sua linha privada de segurança máxima. Em vez disso, enviei um sinal de socorro ao meu pai. Na minha vida passada, no instante da explosão, eu resolvi ligar para a linha de prioridade e chamar o meu marido. Meu filho sobreviveu, mas Monica acabou sendo obliterada na explosão. Meu marido disse que não era minha culpa. Ele falou que Monica era alguém de fora e que seu herdeiro era mais importante. Não poupou despesas e contratou especialistas obstétricos para me monitorar dia e noite. Disse que eu deveria manter a calma e esperar pelo parto. Então, no dia em que entrei em trabalho de parto, ele pessoalmente nos trancou, eu e meu bebê, dentro de um galpão abandonado, encharcado de gasolina, e nos queimou vivos. — Se você não tivesse se atrasado de propósito, ela ainda estaria viva. Você realmente pensou que bancar a inocente iria me enganar? Nem sonhando — ele disse — Você gosta tanto de brincar com fogo, né? Muito bem. Vou deixar você sentir na pele o desespero que ela sentiu naquele dia. Quando abri meus olhos novamente, estava de volta ao arsenal, no exato momento da explosão.
