Qarar E Man

Três meses depois que meu marido, Josiah Erikson, desapareceu em um acidente de esqui, eu o vejo em um bar. Ele está rindo despreocupadamente, com o braço jogado de forma casual sobre os ombros da sua "melhor amiga", Monica Jones. — Ainda bem que você teve a ideia. Eu já estava quase esquecendo como é a sensação de liberdade. Um por um, os amigos brindam com ele e perguntam quando pretende reaparecer. Ele abaixa o olhar, finge pensar por um momento e então responde: — Daqui a uma semana. Vou aparecer quando ela já tiver enlouquecido completamente me procurando. Escondida nas sombras, observo enquanto ele saboreia sua "liberdade"... E então ligo para minha amiga que trabalha no departamento estadual de registros civis.

Elowen Renshaw thought she had it all– a future with a man she sacrificed everything for. But betrayal struck her when her groom chose her half sister over her under the guise of a dying wish. Humiliated and broken, she made a vow never to be the victim again. Not until Ryan Sylvarn came into play with a proposal—"Marry me Gattina. Give Owen a taste of his medicine.” Ryan was a renowned playboy notorious for his acts, more still he was best friends with her ex. ……. "You knew I was drunk yet you still took advantage of me knowing I'm your best friend's fiancée." "Oh that." He carelessly dismissed it and dropped the file he was holding on the bed beside me. "I thought he's marrying your sister, why keep the title?” ……… Will Elowen and Ryan be able to stay within the terms of their contract marriage?

Everyone thinks that I can only rely on my husband, Erico Vitale, to survive after I've lost my family's protection. So, when he wants to get a divorce, I can only agree to it. If he wants to remarry me, I'll accept his demands docilely. I'm the dog whom the Vitale family can beckon over and easily dismiss on a whim. But when I finally have had enough of this life, I dial the number that I've kept sealed away for a long time. That's when I hear Gian Lucenti tell me, "Nina, I'll marry you in ten days." Well, Erico, what will you do when I, the woman whom you've been treating as a pet this whole time, leave you once and for all?

The twist is that the mysterious, handsome Hansel to her Gretel who has also stolen into the same apartment is anything but brotherly, and the two strangers find themselves lip-locked before the evening is over. Now Gabby and her new, aggravating accomplice must get crafty and work together to free themselves and everyone they hold dear from a mad woman’s clutches.But breaking and entering never ends with a happily ever after. Right?

When the factory director’s son dragged my drunk fiancee into the supply warehouse, I pretended as if I did not see them. I just turned around and walked away. In the past, I had ruined my own future by rushing in and beating the factory director’s son up. I was even framed for stealing the supplies from the warehouse. When the warehouse keeper came over with the police officers, my fiancee deliberately ripped her own clothes. She cried and said that she came with the director to stop me from committing the crime, but I beat her up and even defiled her. Everyone despised me, and I became a criminal. My fiancee’s parents could not bear the rumors, and they forced me to marry her. But that marriage was only the start of a hellish life. She lived like a queen at home, yet she told everyone I was starving her. When she got pregnant, she deliberately pushed her belly against the corner of the table. Then, she stood in the courtyard and cried. She claimed I had abused her, and I wanted to kill my own baby. My parents felt bad for me, so they borrowed money from everyone they knew to get her a job. But when she landed on the job, she framed my father for stealing the steel from the factory. Half a year after my father was imprisoned, he passed away in jail due to an illness. My mother could not bear the stress and fell severely ill. She also passed away soon after. When I was pinned under the collapsed brick wall at the construction site, she did not call for help. Instead, she picked up a brick and smashed it into my head. “If you were not so nosy, Jeremy and I’d have been together already. We wouldn’t have wasted so much time!” My head bled, and I was buried beneath a pile of rubble. When I opened my eyes again, I was at the entrance of the supply warehouse. From inside, I heard my fiancee’s soft, teasing murmurs.

Na minha vida passada, Gabriel Lacerda, meu irmão, escolheu acompanhar a amante Camila Soares para ver uma chuva de meteoros. Levou consigo todos os seguranças da casa, deixando-nos completamente vulneráveis. Naquela noite, inimigos que ele mesmo havia destruído aproveitaram a oportunidade e invadiram nossa mansão para se vingar. Minha mãe foi gravemente ferida tentando me proteger. Liguei para ele, desesperada, implorando que voltasse. Ele retornou com os seguranças, mas já era tarde demais. Embora os invasores tenham sido capturados, uma nova tragédia aconteceu: Camila havia desaparecido e deixou uma carta de suicídio. Na carta, ela me acusava de usar a situação para afastar Gabriel dela e de deixar ela sozinha, exposta à vingança dos inimigos. Gabriel queimou a carta bem na minha frente. Sem raiva, sem dor. Apenas disse: — Esquece isso. Não vale a pena. Apesar de tudo, ele foi responsabilizado. Meu pai me confiou o controle da empresa da família. Mas naquela mesma noite, durante a festa de comemoração, Gabriel entrou no meu quarto e me matou. Com o olhar frio, ele disse: — Pessoas como você já deviam estar mortas. A herança é minha por direito. Morri sem paz. E quando abri os olhos novamente… O som dos inimigos arrombando os portões ecoava do lado de fora da mansão.

Alora Hale lost her voice five years ago. By the time she realized it, her husband had already replaced her. Silenced by an accident and slowly erased from her own marriage, Alora lives quietly beside a man who no longer sees value in her— until the night he sends her to a hotel under false pretenses and sells her body for profit. She escapes. But that survival leaves her with something she never expected. Pregnant by a stranger who vanishes without a trace, Alora is divorced, stripped of her child, and cast out with nothing into a city that rewards power and devours the weak. Determined to destroy her devilish husband, she begins hunting for the only person capable of crushing him. Morningstar. The most feared businessman in the city; the kind of man whose absence can collapse markets. Morningstar is stunning, untouchable, unapproachable, and rumored to be incapable of attachment. He is also the last man Alora ever expected to find… and the father of her unborn child. Bound together by a secret neither of them planned, Alora is pulled into Morningstar’s world under a strict contract— one that might dissolve into live love or chaos. In the end, secrets would be unraveled and betrayals would surface as the quiet woman everyone underestimated begins her rise. Because when a woman who has lost everything decides to fight back, she doesn’t beg. She destroys.

Seven years ended with one ringtone at the altar. One quiet apology, then he walked away to the pregnant ex he once called a mistake, leaving me beneath crystal lights and camera flashes, the perfect discarded bride. Publicly humiliated. I made a decision that shocks them all. I married Adrian, Marcus’s estranged elder stepbrother, the self-made billionaire their father once discarded. Cold. Untouchable. Far more powerful than the heir who betrayed me. Our marriage is a contract. He needs stability to secure his corporate takeover. I need a throne high enough to watch Marcus fall. But our 'fake' touches turn into an obsession neither of us can control. Now I’m carrying Adrian’s child the true firstborn heir of the legacy built on betrayal And this time, I’m not the woman left behind. I'm the prize.

No dia em que meu pai apareceu no banquete com a ex-namorada, a notícia se espalhou na internet, e todos riram da minha mãe. Ela tinha abandonado uma carreira promissora para entrar em uma família rica, mas após trinta anos ela continuava sendo uma anônima, sem posição, sem sequer a coragem de confrontar a amante. Após chorar uma noite inteira, minha mãe me olhou exausta. — Foi ele quem me traiu primeiro. Então, eu também não o quero mais. — Ela disse. — Lili, você vem comigo? Nesse mesmo instante, meu celular vibrou com uma mensagem do meu namorado com quem eu estava há sete anos: [Lívia, é só uma certidão de casamento. Não está bom só sendo minha namorada?] Permaneci em silêncio por alguns segundos e, por fim, assenti com a cabeça. Assim, no dia do casamento deles, minha mãe e eu desaparecemos no incêndio da mansão.

Minha irmã adotiva, Sophia, a última loba branca puro-sangue da vila Grell, foi violentada e torturada até a morte por um lobo rebelde desconhecido. A carta de suicídio dela continha apenas uma frase: “Lina viu o rosto dele.” A partir daquele dia, me tornei a maior pecadora da alcateia. Porque eu sabia quem era o assassino, mas permaneci calada por cinco anos. Até que meu irmão adotivo Damien, o Alfa mais poderoso da América do Norte, retornou. Ele trouxe de volta o Dispositivo de Visão da Alma e arrancou à força as memórias da minha alma de loba. Todos os lobisomens que tiveram o Dispositivo de Visão da Alma usado neles morreram ou enlouqueceram. Minha loba foi torturada repetidamente dentro do dispositivo, mas Damien reprimiu a dor nos olhos e rugiu: — Quando eu descobrir a verdade, vou mandar você e o assassino para o inferno juntos. Mas quando finalmente descobriram a verdade, Damien enlouqueceu.
