Post Colonialism Criticism นิยาย & เรื่องราว

Eu estava com o garoto mulherengo Henrique Andrade, e todo mundo achava que eu era perdidamente apaixonada por ele. Ele vivia se metendo em brigas, faltava às aulas, e eu copiava todas as anotações para ele. Ele flertava com outras pessoas, e eu encobria suas escapadas. Durante três anos, fui cegamente apaixonada por ele, fazendo tudo ao meu alcance para que entrasse em uma universidade renomada, mas fui largada pouco antes do início das aulas. Ele disse, com arrogância: — Eu sei que você gosta de mim há muito tempo, mas você só pensa em estudar o tempo todo. Comparada à Amanda, você é chata demais. Vamos terminar; vou ficar com a Amanda. Todos esperavam me ver desmoronar. Olhei para os cinquenta milhões a mais na minha conta bancária e disse, com calma: — Tudo bem, parabéns. Ninguém sabia que eu tinha aceitado ficar com ele apenas porque a mãe dele pagou muito bem. Agora que o dinheiro já estava nas minhas mãos, mesmo que ele não tivesse terminado comigo, eu já estava pronta para deixá-lo.

"Love finds you in the strangest places.!" Marriage wasn't on Preston's agenda. He was enjoying life as the most eligible bachelor until his family began to mount pressure on him. After a time, he had no choice but to get married to a woman he didn't even know. His close friend teased, "You lucky ! Your wife must be gorgeous." When Preston thought of the woman who slept with a mask on in his bed, his blood boiled. “What was gorgeous about her? Humph!” "You had better stop it. One more word and I'll make her yours!" he cursed. Preston thought he was going to be a miserable married man. However, he received a surprise when his marital life turned out to be the exact opposite. Curiosity killed those around him after some time. His friend asked again, " I know you don't like talking about your wife.But can you describe to me what exactly she looks like? Why does she always have a mask on?" This time, Preston's lips curved into a smile. "My sweetheart is beautiful and adorable. Lower your gaze whenever you see her. If l catch you staring at her, I'll make you go blind." Everyone's jaw dropped when they heard that. They looked at him like he was crazy. One day, Preston's wife suddenly packed her bag and declared, "I can't do this anymore. I've had enough of your humiliation. Please, give me a divorce!" This request hit Preston like a bolt out of the blue. When he saw that she was being dead serious, he held onto her with both hands and begged, "Honey, please don't leave me. I promise to treat you better. If you want, I can give you the whole world. Stay with me!"

No dia em que descobri que estava grávida de gêmeos, vi meu companheiro, o Alfa Viggo, levando outra loba para a consulta de pré-natal. Congelei no lugar, enquanto amassava o relatório de gravidez com o meu punho. Naquela noite, ele olhou para mim com frieza. O mesmo homem que um dia beijou cada centímetro do meu corpo, o mesmo homem que jurou ser somente meu. — Ela está carregando meu filhote e sua loba está instável. Você terá que preparar tônicos calmantes para ela todos os dias. — Ela é sensível, não consegue dormir sem o meu cheiro. Então leve suas coisas para a ala oeste e abra espaço para ela. A enorme vila mergulhou em um silêncio mortal. Minha loba uivou dentro de mim, um lamento agudo e ferido. A dor do nosso vínculo de companheiros rasgou minha alma. Ainda assim, não derramei uma única lágrima. Peguei com calma a mala que já estava pronta e caminhei em direção à porta. Os guardas tentaram me impedir, mas Viggo sequer levantou os olhos. — Ela vai voltar. — Disse ele, girando o vinho na taça, com toda a arrogância de Alfa estampada no rosto. — Três dias, e é tudo o que ela aguenta. Sem o meu toque; a loba dela vai enlouquecer e ela vai voltar rastejando, implorando. Os membros da alcateia e os aliados que tinham vindo para a nossa cerimônia explodiram em gargalhadas. Alguns deles até fizeram uma aposta bem na minha frente, colocando em jogo uma mina de minério aurora avaliada em um milhão de dólares. Apostaram que eu seria despedaçada pelo medo de me tornar uma loba renegada, e que antes da meia-noite, estaria de joelhos, implorando para Viggo me aceitar de volta. Mas eles não faziam ideia, meu pai biológico já tinha enviado em segredo o símbolo da nossa família. Minha alcateia já estava à minha espera. Desta vez, eu romperia nosso vínculo para sempre.

The day after we set our wedding date for the tenth time, my fiancé reached past me to kiss his adopted sister. He presented crimson roses to her as she descended from the stage. "My princess, in this lifetime, I'll only ever be your protector." I stood quietly beyond the cheering crowd, then turned and walked away without looking back. After five years of engagement, this was the moment I finally gave up hope.

By chance, I stumbled across a trending post from our company's finance department while scrolling through social media. "That idiot in Sales. I just wanted to put my bar receipt under his name for reimbursement and he refused! If he won't let me claim it, then no one gets reimbursed! This time I'll make sure he learns what happens when you offend Finance!" The comments section was full of complaints and criticism, but the original poster didn't seem bothered in the slightest. The tone was arrogant, almost smug. "What's there to be scared of? Finance is the lifeline of any company! Would the boss really risk offending the backbone of the company over some replaceable sales guy? No way that's ever happening!" I stared at the all-too-familiar face in the profile picture and let out a silent, cold laugh. Blocking my reimbursement? Fine. This time, I'd like to see for myself what would actually happen if I mess with Finance.

At 3:17 a.m., every god in the world went silent. The dead began answering prayers instead. Lu Chen, a Chinese-American architect, returns to China to bury his grandmother and sell the ruined temple she left behind. But on the first night of the apocalypse, something wearing his father’s face calls him from the dark. The only place still protected is a forgotten City God Temple, guarded by one dying lamp and an ancient brass key. When Lu Chen becomes the final Temple Keeper, his divine territory is only thirty meters wide. His first mission is simple: survive until dawn. But the first person he saves is Ava Monroe, an American journalist who does not believe in ghosts, gods, or fate. She carries a mark every dead thing wants, and she knows a secret about Lu Chen’s family. To save the living world, Lu Chen must collect incense, judge wandering souls, summon ghost soldiers, and rebuild the underworld. Yet every prayer has a price, and every god who returns may not be on humanity’s side.

The students are stronger, faster and backed by bloodlines she can only dream of. And then there is Caden Crest. Cold. Untouchable. Next in line to rule the world. The boy who looked her in the eye and told her she didn't belong. The boy who felt something in that moment and has been running from it ever since. Mira has survived everything the world has thrown at her. She just didn't know the hardest thing to survive would be him.

In a world where ancient shifter magic clashes with the cold, neon steel of a cyberpunk dystopia, a rejected Omega and a cursed King hold the key to a revolution. Elena was supposed to be a nobody. An orphan and a packless Omega in the heavily monitored Sector Four, her wolf has remained dormant for eighteen years. But where her beast should be, Elena feels only a terrifying, ice-cold void—a chaotic energy that threatens to consume her from the inside out. When her fated mate, the future Alpha Jaxon, brutally rejects her on the night of the Blood Moon to secure a corporate alliance, she is exiled into the lawless, wild lands of Shadow Ridge. She expected a quick death. Instead, she finds him. Dominic. The ruthless, scarred Lycan King. Afflicted by a lethal, genetically modified virus that his people call an ancient blood curse, Dominic has sworn off mates forever. His touch is a death sentence to anyone who gets close, his mind slowly slipping into a mindless, pitch-black madness. But the moment his molten gold eyes lock onto Elena, their primal bond ignites a biological anomaly. Her hidden void magic is the only thing capable of siphoning his rage and keeping his feral beast at bay. As the ruthless Vanguard Corporation closes in—deploying plasma-fused weapons and cybernetic enforcers to reclaim Elena for their laboratories—she and the scarred King must navigate a deadly game of survival. With an ancient silver amulet linking her to a forgotten prophecy, Elena is no longer just a discarded prize. She is the weapon that will either cure the Lycan King, or burn the corporate sectors to ash. Discover a gripping, dark science-fantasy romance packed with the fated mates trope, a powerful alpha hero, an underdog heroine with catastrophic powers, and a cyberpunk world.
