Say The Same Thing

My husband was working over the holidays, again. He’d been sent out of town to oversee one of the Family’s dock operations and a string of gambling houses.. I decided to buy a ticket and surprise him. Only business class was left. Staring at the five-figure price, I gritted my teeth and spent a year’s worth of savings. Then I couldn’t even figure out how to pull down the damn tray table. The socialite seated next to me let out a cold laugh. “Never flown business class before?” I forced an awkward smile. “My apologies. You must be… important. You have that aura.” “Oh, me? No. The man who keeps me is important. He’d charter a private jet if I asked. Business class is practically slumming it.” I blinked. “A… keeper? That’s rare.” “Not really. I’m his secretary. I mess up a lot. Cost him a fortune. He yells at me until I cry. And then, well… crying leads to other things.” She winked. “You know how it is.” “Funny,” I said, my voice tight. “My husband has an assistant who helps him manage accounts for the docks. She’s always messing things up too.” “You’re married?” She looked me over, head to toe. “My man has a wife about your age. Says he’s sick of her. That touching her is boring. Says I’m more exciting just brushing my hair out of my face.” She leaned closer. “I told him I wanted to see him for New Year’s. So he told the wife he had to work.” The diamond on her finger caught the light. It was identical to the wedding band I’d lost. My body went cold. No. Matteo was just a low-level enforcer. A foot soldier the Family occasionally trusted with small operations—dock shipments, backroom gambling, nothing more. When did he become a Don?

Loriah Dee has never truly belonged. Orphaned young, with no family, she clings to the only thing that feels like home—music. Winning a scholarship to one of the country’s most prestigious universities is her one chance to chase her dream of becoming a singer. But campus life brings more than sheet music and rehearsals. It brings Draco Thorne. Draco is the heartthrob of the university—, devastatingly handsome. Only a select few know that he is a werewolf, destined for a Luna chosen by his powerful family. But from the moment he sees Loriah, he wants her. At first, she is just a distraction— a dazzling freshman with innocence in her eyes and the hottest body he has ever seen. Winning her over proves a challenge. Desperate to have her, Draco lies to gain her trust. Slowly, she lets him in. But Loriah’s world comes crashing down one night while working at an upscale restaurant. There, she sees Draco seated at a lavish family dinner, surrounded by wealth and privilege, a stunning fiancée at his side—his future wife. In an instant, every lie begins to unravel. She quietly begins to piece together the truth. Bit. She discovers the deception, the secrets, the double life he has woven around her. She has given everything to him. Her first time, her first kiss, her trust. She had bared her soul to him. But he had left her with nothing else to give, trampling on her love and leaving her to gather the pieces of her soul. By the time Draco realizes Loriah is not just another girl, but the only one he has ever truly loved, she is already gone. And he is left with nothing but regret, longing, and the hollow echo of the song she carried into his life.

Meu marido e eu éramos as duas pessoas que mais se odiavam neste mundo. Ele me odiava por tê-lo arrancado da mulher que amava. E eu o odiava porque seu coração permanecia ocupado por outra. Durante oito anos de casamento, as palavras que mais trocamos não foram de amor, nem de dever, mas maldições. Contudo, no dia em que a cidade caiu, tudo mudou; as bandeiras inimigas já eram visíveis além do portão interno. Ele cavalgou à frente e tomou a estrada, colocando seu corpo entre o inimigo e a minha fuga. — Viva — disse ele calmamente. Então ele ergueu sua lâmina e não olhou para trás. As flechas vieram como chuva. Enquanto elas o perfuravam, ele virou a cabeça uma vez, apenas uma vez. Depois disso, seu corpo bloqueou a estrada, e nada passou. — Se houver outra vida… que Vossa Alteza me conceda a misericórdia de pertencer a ela. Naquela noite, com a cidade em ruínas e o povo morto ou em fuga, subi na torre mais alta do palácio. Eu saltei. Quando abri meus olhos novamente, fui até o rei. — Os reinos do norte exigem uma noiva real — eu disse. — Eu irei. Nesta vida, serei eu a cruzar a fronteira. Em minha vida anterior, ele morreu acreditando que havia falhado com ela. Desta vez, não permitirei que esse arrependimento exista. Assumirei o casamento destinado a ela. Carregarei a coroa destinada a exilá-la. Caminharei em direção a um futuro que ela nunca deveria ter que suportar. Deixe que ela fique. Deixe que ele a proteja. Deixe que ele viva sua vida acreditando que finalmente cumpriu sua promessa.

My African American Mom married a rich Japanese man. As I moved the skeleton of my new bed next to the window, I felt a gaze focused on me. Outside my window, was the house next door. The house shape was similar to ours, so it also had a window facing mine at the same level. Standing there on the other side was a skinny Japanese boy. As soon as I laid eyes on him, he stiffened, then shyly smiled and waved. His hair was all over the place, seeing him in his tanktop I thought to myself that he must've just rolled out of bed. But wasn't it the afternoon already? The boy says something but of course I can't hear him with my window closed so I slide it open. "Eto....hi." He tried in English. If someone were to tell me later I'd come to care about him deeply, I'd find that hard to believe. For as long as I could remember I've always felt empty. And that emptiness, I hid on instinct.
