Only Yours Mandy Moore

Five years ago, I became the wife of Cesare Fontana, the most powerful mafia don in Navarino. However, he didn't make our relationship public. Cesare has always been cold and unfeeling toward everyone. I assumed that's just the way he is. One day, I get to see the way he interacts with Sonia Moretti, his childhood friend. When I see the bright smile on his face and notice the attentive care he shows her, I finally realize that there is someone in this world whom he treats with gentleness and warmth. Alas, I'm not the lucky woman. I hand over the divorce papers. Cesare remains as impassive as ever. He signs the paperwork without even knowing that it will mark the end of our marriage. When he finally finds out that I've left, weirdly enough, he immediately panics. He does everything in his power to find me and bring me back. By then, I've already left the country. I make my way to a country beyond his reach and carve out a fulfilling life for myself. Cesare becomes the one who pines for me instead.

Pada hari ulang tahunku yang ke-12, saat Ayah dan Ibu sedang membawaku ke taman hiburan, terjadi kecelakaan mobil akibat rem blong. Kakakku, yang merupakan pemimpin mafia, menimpakan seluruh kesalahan atas kematian orang tua kami kepadaku. Dia benar-benar membenciku, tetapi memanjakan adikku yang dua tahun lebih muda dariku, Elvara, seolah dia adalah harta paling berharga. Bahkan setelah aku meninggal, jantungku pun diambil dan dipindahkannya ke tubuh Elvara. Aku tidak akan pernah melupakan saat penyakitku kambuh dan aku pergi mencarinya untuk meminta pertolongan. Tatapan mata Kakak saat itu dipenuhi rasa muak dan kebencian. "Kirana, apa ada yang benar-benar jujur dari semua perkataanmu? Memangnya seru ya pura-pura sakit terus setiap hari? Aku sudah muak sama kebohonganmu!" Namun sesaat kemudian, dia berbalik dan berbicara dengan lembut kepada Elvara, "Jangan takut, donor jantung akan segera ditemukan. Kakak nggak akan membiarkanmu mati!" Belakangan, ketika Kakak melihat tubuhku yang telah hancur tak berbentuk, dia pun benar-benar runtuh.

Kakak London meninggal. Ibunya mengusulkan agar dia memikul dua tanggung jawab keluarga sekaligus, dengan menikahi istri kakaknya yang sedang hamil, Sharon. Namun, permintaan itu ditolak mentah-mentah. "Lillian adalah nyawaku. Aku rela nggak mewarisi posisi ketua mafia. Aku nggak akan pernah mengkhianati istriku!" Aku sangat terharu oleh kesetiaan London. Namun tanpa sengaja, aku mendengar percakapan antara London dan ibunya. "Anak dalam kandungan Sharon jelas-jelas anakmu. Kenapa kamu nggak mau menikahinya?" London mengembuskan asap rokok. Tatapannya jauh ke depan. "Aku sudah berjanji pada Sharon untuk meninggalkan keturunan bagi kakakku. Tapi urusan ini hanya di antara kami. Kalau Lillian sampai tahu, aku pasti tamat!" Ibu London berkata dengan tidak senang, "Kenapa memangnya kalau dia tahu? Dia sendiri nggak bisa melahirkan, masa kita harus membiarkan Keluarga Tahir nggak punya keturunan?" Dengan nada tajam, London menyela, "Kalau Lillian tahu, dia pasti akan meninggalkanku. Aku nggak bisa hidup tanpa dia! Kalau Ibu masih ingin gendong cucu, tutup mulut Ibu!" Aku pergi dengan tubuh gemetar. Darah di sekujur tubuhku perlahan menjadi dingin. London sangat mengenalku. Dalam cinta, aku tak bisa menoleransi sedikit pun kesalahan. Jadi setelah dia mengkhianatiku, aku memutuskan untuk pergi.

Valentin Kesslers Bruder Konrad Kessler war tot. Seine Mutter Elisabeth Behrens schlug vor, dass Valentin die Verantwortung für beide Familienzweige übernehmen und die schwangere Witwe seines Bruders, Marlene Vogt, heiraten solle – doch Valentin lehnte entschieden ab. „Leonie ist mein Ein und Alles. Lieber verzichte ich auf die Position als Mafiaboss meines Bruders, als meine Frau zu verraten!“ Ich war zutiefst gerührt von Valentins Treue – bis ich zufällig ein Gespräch zwischen ihm und seiner Mutter belauschte. „Das Kind in Marlenes Bauch ist doch von dir. Warum willst du sie nicht heiraten?“ Valentin blies Rauchkringel in die Luft, und sein Blick ging in die Ferne. „Ich habe Marlene versprochen, Konrad einen Erben zu hinterlassen, aber das bleibt unter uns. Wenn Leonie davon erfährt, ist es aus mit mir!“ Seine Mutter sagte verärgert: „Und wenn sie es erfährt? Sie kann selbst keine Kinder bekommen – soll unsere Familie etwa aussterben?“ Valentin unterbrach sie mit scharfer Stimme. „Wenn sie es erfährt, wird sie mich verlassen. Das könnte ich nicht ertragen! Wenn du noch Enkelkinder willst, dann halt den Mund!“ Ich verließ zitternd den Raum, und mit jedem Schritt wurde mir kälter ums Herz. Valentin kannte mich gut. In meiner Liebe duldete ich nicht den kleinsten Verrat – und so hatte ich mich bereits entschieden zu gehen, sobald ich von seinem Betrug erfahren hatte.

Everything changed on my twelfth birthday. The brakes failed, the tragic crash, and the death of our parents. My brother blamed it all on me. He ruled as the mafia boss, yet all he showed me was hatred. The only love he had left was for our younger sister. He never believed how sick I became. He accused me of faking my sickness to get attention. He would turn to our sister with a gentleness I never received, he promised to save her, and he promised she would never die on his watch. My heart ended up beating inside her chest even after I died. He finally saw what was left of my damaged body after I was gone. The truth my brother never bothered to face would shatter his world.

I, Elena Rossi, was diagnosed with acute kidney injury a year ago. I need a kidney transplant to survive. My fiance, Dario Ajello, is the Don of the mafia family, and he looks everywhere to find a suitable kidney donor for me. As it turns out, my younger stepsister, Lucia Rossi, is the only person who is eligible to be my kidney donor. However, she refuses to take the five million dollars Dario offers her as compensation. Instead, she makes a ridiculous demand—that Dario pretend to be her boyfriend for an entire month. I am all against it. I would rather die than agree to her conditions in order to receive her kidney. Dario promises me that he won't fulfill her demands, but I soon find out that he still has agreed to be Lucia's boyfriend for a month. After learning the truth, I decide to give up on my treatment and silently make arrangements for my passing. That is because I know that Lucia will never donate her kidney to me, even if Dario fulfills his side of the obligations.

On my way home from picking wild berries in the woods, I see my mate, Ethan Volkov, feeding our pups roast chicken. His childhood sweetheart, Zoe Hathaway, is snuggling next to them. While chatting with Ethan about her experiences studying on the northern grasslands, she entertains the children. My five-year-old daughter is happily swinging her legs as she holds out a piece of roast chicken to Zoe, while My son carefully wipes the grease off Zoe's hands. Ethan never once looks away from Zoe. It is as if he only has eyes for her. Seeing my beloved mate and the pups I've tirelessly raised so attached to another she-wolf leaves me devastated. I draft a Bond Breaking Agreement, give up custody of the children, and leave. Pursue the herbal research career that I gave up for my family Yet later, the always calm and composed Ethan loses his composure. My daughter Katrina and my son James search everywhere for me, openly expressing their love and begging me to come home.

Bei einem Ausflug in den Vergnügungspark brachte mein Beta-Freund Drew plötzlich eine Frau mit ihrer kleinen Tochter mit. Im Auto fehlte zufällig genau ein Sitzplatz. Drew bat mich auszusteigen und den Platz den beiden zu überlassen. Er sagte: „Laura hat es mit dem Kind nicht leicht. Sie sollen erstmal fahren, ich hole dich später ab.“ Ruhig stieg ich aus und sah zu, wie das Auto langsam den Parkplatz verließ. Drei Stunden später kamen sie im Vergnügungspark an und nahmen an der abendlichen Feuerwerksveranstaltung teil. Als meine beste Freundin Drew fragte, warum er mich noch nicht abgeholt habe, half er gerade geduldig Laura, eine übergroße Feuerwerksbatterie zu entzünden. Er war nicht im Geringsten beunruhigt und sagte: „Es ist kein Problem, Sienna später abzuholen. Sie nimmt das nicht krumm. Ich werde sie schon beschwichtigen, dann ist sie auch nicht mehr sauer.“ Wütend wird man nur auf Menschen, die einem etwas bedeuten. Dass mein Vater, meine Mutter und mein Bruder sich nie um mich scherten, habe ich noch hingenommen. Aber dass sich jetzt auch Drew nicht mehr für mich interessierte... Darum ist es Zeit, für immer zu gehen.

In this lifetime, Lyana Coiningan, the widow, laments about how envious she is about my bedroom by telling Alpha Theron Ulrick, "Luna Astra's bedroom is so huge and beautiful! If Dexter could stay here, he'd definitely forget all about the sorrow caused by his father's death…" While Theron is still hesitant about giving my bedroom away, I've already taken the initiative to pack up my things and give it to Lyana. On the coldest day of winter, Lyana's son, Dexter Ulrick, suddenly wails and complains about how cold the weather is. He then demands to have my son, Cayden Ulrick's fur cloak. Cayden doesn't hesitate to take off the cloak and give it to him. Everyone in the Silverfrost pack says, "Luna Astra is the embodiment of the Moon Goddess. She knows when to let others have all the good things. On top of that, she doesn't fight over anything with anyone else. Even her son is as understanding and demure as she is." Theron compliments us on how understanding we've become as well. But what they don't know is that I've already bought flight tickets in preparation to leave the Silverfrost pack. Once I get my hands on the mate bond dissolution potion, I'll be able to take Cayden to a land far, far away from this place. In my previous life, Theron had neglected Cayden and me forever because of Lyana and Dexter. He even passed his assets to them after his death. Now that we get a second chance in the same lifetime, both Cayden and I don't want to have anything to do with Theron anymore.

I have three dads who love and spoil me for fifteen years. Of the three, Maxim Ulfric is the high-ranking and authoritative Alpha of the Cinderhowl pack. The second is Ethan Skoll, the pack's most valiant Beta warrior. The third is Aidan Rafe, the most skilled healer of the whole pack. They're the reason I am the happiest princess of the Cinderhowl pack before turning 15. Everything changes after Raeya Wargan appears. Time and again, she accuses me of leading others to sideline and pick on her. Even my disappointed dads say I'm insensible and give everything I have to her as compensation. From then on, no one believes a word I say. Even the pups of the pack call me a pathological liar. Everything ends when Raeya throws me into a Rogue's den. As a ferocious Rogue hunts me down, I reach out through the mind-link to my dads for help. But none of them believes me. They call me devious and cunning. They say that I'm trying to frame Raeya on purpose. While a wolf pack tears my limbs apart, and my mangled corpse is left abandoned in the forest, my dads are wholeheartedly presiding over Raeya's grand coming-of-age ceremony. They once promised to give me the most unique coming-of-age ceremony, but it's a pity I'll never live to see that day.
