Shall We Do It Again

No concurso de poções, minha irmã adotiva, Célia, tornou-se famosa graças à poção que roubou de mim. Eu jamais poderia imaginar que aquela competição serviria para escolher a esposa do jovem senhor da Tribo Serpente, um homem cruel, feio e naturalmente estéril. Naquela mesma noite, a Tribo Serpente enviou uma carta de casamento, exigindo que a criadora da poção se tornasse esposa do jovem senhor. Ao saber disso, meu noivo entrou em pânico e imediatamente consumou o Pacto de Almas com Célia. Depois de consumado o ato, Célia veio, rebolando a cintura, exibir para mim o Pacto em forma de Lobo em suas costas. — Agora o seu noivo é meu, irmãzinha. E agora, o que você vai fazer? Faltam só três dias para você completar vinte e cinco anos. Se ninguém se casar com você, será sorteada para aqueles Bestiais mais velhos e violentos, que batem nas esposas! Ela se enganou. Eu ainda tinha outra escolha. Procurei meus pais, que estavam na sala tentando resolver as confusões deixadas por Célia. — Se ela não vai se casar com o jovem senhor da Tribo Serpente, eu me caso!

"R-Reed.... A-Anong ibig sabihin nito?" Halos manlambot ang tuhod niya sa nakita at nag-uunahan sa pagbagsak ang mga luha sa pisngi niya. Si Reed ay nakikipaghalikan sa isang babae at halos nalihis na ang soot nito pababa. Nakatalikod ang babae kaya hindi niya makita ang mukha. "Aliyah, Baby..." Naitulak ni Reed ang babae kaya nahulog ito sa sahig. "Ouch! What the h*ck!" Mura ng babae kay Reed. "Reed.... Ano? Magpaliwanag ka!" Sigaw niya habang nanginginig ang boses at punong-puno ng hinanakit ang mga mata na nakatitig rito. Tumayo ang babae at hinarap si Aliyah, "Well, well, well! Mabuti at nasampal na sayo ang katotohanan. Ilusyunada!" Bumaling ito kay Reed, "Babe, sabihin mo na sa kanya. Para hindi na tayo nagtatago." "Avery, get out now!" Kinaladkad ni Reed si Avery ngunit pumiglas ito. "Pwede ba Reed, magpakatotoo ka sa sarili mo. Alam kung ako pa rin ang mahal mo. I feel it, the way you kissed me." Inis na sigaw nito.

On my wedding day, my fiancé bailed. Sabina—his ex—had sent him a diary listing 77 things she'd done for him. Turns out she only dumped him because his family pushed her to. So, he ran back to her. While I was still reeling, Jacob—my fiancé's best friend—showed up. He got down on one knee, flashed a ring he'd clearly had ready, and said, "Yuna Auclair, I've liked you for a long time. Will you marry me?" I thought he was my person. But after the wedding, Jacob turned distant. Hot one second, ice-cold the next. Then I found a diary in his study. Just like the one Sabina had sent my ex. Page one hit like a truck: [Hurt Yuna Auclair seventy-seven times, and I'll break up with Gabriel and be with you.] Oh—and Gabriel? He was my ex.

Quando eu estava prestes a sair do restaurante do meu irmão, a gerente me parou. — Senhorita, desculpe, mas a senhora não pagou a conta. Olhei para o rosto desconhecido e pensei que ela provavelmente era nova e não me reconhecia, então expliquei educadamente: — Coloque na conta do dono. Ele me conhece. A gerente me lançou um olhar de desdém. — Senhorita, este é um restaurante três estrelas Michelin. Não deixamos qualquer um fazer fiado. Ela me entregou uma conta impressa. Dei uma olhada. Cinquenta mil dólares por uma refeição. Três mil pela manutenção da louça, cinco mil pela purificação exclusiva do ar, dez mil por uma taxa de serviço VIP de "práticas relaxantes" e uma porção de outras cobranças absurdas. Eu nem sabia que o restaurante do meu irmão era um golpe desses. Não pude deixar de rir, incrédula. — Eu sou a irmã do dono. Se houver algum problema, diga a ele para falar comigo em casa. Mas ela simplesmente não desistia. — Se não pode pagar, pare de fingir que pode. E não finja que conhece o senhor White também. Mandei uma mensagem rápida para minha secretária: [Diga ao meu irmão para demitir essa gerente ou eu retiro meu investimento.]

Noel has always been too much—too loud, too bold and too unapologetically gay. When his life is shattered by those meant to protect him, he does what any queen would: survives, slays, and keeps his mouth sharper than his eyeliner.

Beaufort Sterling is everything Noel can’t be: ‘perfect’.
