Simple Passion

At 22, as the Santoro heiress, I'm choosing a husband out of the three Guerra brothers to honor the marriage pact between our families. I pass on Aurelio Guerra and choose the eldest brother, Cesare Guerra, the one with the burn scar on his face, leaving everyone in the Mafia reeling. Everyone knows I put aside my pride as a perfumer for Aurelio and shrank myself until I barely exist. For him, I even leaned on the Santoros' muscle to build his power base. In my last life, I married him, just like I'd always wanted. With the Santoros behind him, he became the youngest Don in the Mafia. After he was established, he hooked up with my stepsister, Maeve Santoro. Together, they stole the new perfume I created, "Reverie", locked me in the lab, and set the place ablaze, reducing me to ash. Now that I've been reborn, I decide to drag those two cheaters to hell myself. But then Aurelio comes back too, carrying the memories of our last life.

Avery Tate was forced to marry a bigshot by her stepmother as her father's company was on the verge of bankruptcy. There was a catch, the bigshot—Elliot Foster—was in a state of coma. In the public’s eye, it was only a matter of time until she was deemed a widow and be kicked out of the family.A twist of event happened when Elliot unexpectedly woke up from his coma.Fuming at his marriage situation, he lashed out on Avery and threatened to kill their babies if they had any. “I’ll kill them with my very hands!” he bawled.Four years had passed when Avery returned to her homeland with her fraternal twins—a boy and a girl.As she pointed at Elliot’s face on a TV screen, she reminded her babies, “Stay far away from this man, he’s sworn to kill you both.” That night, Elliot’s computer was hacked and he was challenged—by one of the twins—to kill them. “Come and get me, *sshole!”

The last time I argued with my husband, he slammed the door on me and left. I was so upset that I died from a heart attack. Meanwhile, he took his lover and her son traveling to take his mind off things. The entire time, our daughter, who was just a child, was abandoned at home for seven days with my corpse. At last, when Eliott remembered me and my daughter, he returned home to see my corpse. Having fallen sick, my daughter was all skin and bones. When Eliott realized his mistake, he hugged our daughter tightly and broke down crying in front of my grave. My daughter pulled away from him and hid behind my gravestone. She hissed sharply at him, “Who do you think you are? Don't disturb Mommy’s rest!”

Dahil sa bankruptcy ng kanyang ama, sapilitang ipinakasal si Avery Tate ng kanyang stepmother sa isnag bigshot. Ngunit may catch-ang bigshot na ito ay si Elliot Foster- na kasalukuyang commatose. Sa mata ng lahat, ilang araw nalang ang nalalabi at magiging balo na siya at palalayasin din ng pamilya. Pero parang nagbibiro ang tadhana nang isang araw bigla nalang nagising si Elliot.Galit na galit ito nang malaman ang tungkol sa arranged marriage at pinagbantaan siya nito na papatayin nito kung sakali mang magka anak sila. “Ako mismo ang papatay sa kanila!”Pagkalipas ng apat na taon, muling bumalik si Avery sakanilang lugar, kasama ang kanilang fraternal twins - isang babae at isang lalaki. Itinuro niya ang mukha ni Elliot sa TV screen at sinabi sa mga bata, “Wag na wag kayong lalapit sa lalaking yan. Sinabi niyang papatayin niya kayo.” Noong gabing ‘yun, nahack ang computer ni Elliot at may humamon sakanya - isa sa mga kambal- na patayin sila. “Hulihin mo ako kung kaya mo, *sshole!”

When the zombie apocalypse hit, pets leveled up into guardians. Three per person. That was the cap. My buddy dropped serious cash on three Caucasian Shepherds. My landlord dumped his fish and started raising crocodiles. My girlfriend bolted to the zoo and came back with a lion. Me? I had three strays. Bubba—blind. Missy—lame. Snowy—barely a month old. The second the system locked pet slots, I knew I was screwed. I barricaded myself inside with my three "broken" cats and kept my head down. Day one—fear. Day two—helpless. Day three—the cats strolled back in, tails up, dragging something I didn't recognize. Bubba looked at me. "Dad, I bit off every zombie head on the block. I'm solid, right?" I just stared.

The zombie apocalypse had arrived, and pets could transform into guardians to protect their owners—each person was allowed no more than three. My best friend had spent a fortune on three Tibetan mastiffs. The landlord cleared out a fish tank to raise a crocodile. My boyfriend? He had stormed the zoo and dragged a lion home. And me? I only had three stray cats. The eldest was blind, the second one limped, and the youngest had just turned one month old. The moment the apocalypse system announced that pet slots were locked, I knew I was doomed. I tried to hide with my three disabled cats, hoping to survive quietly. Day one of the apocalypse: terrified… Day two: helpless… Day three: my cats sauntered over, tails swishing, carrying some unidentifiable object. "Mama, I bit off all the zombie heads on this street. How's that? Solid enough?" I was rendered speechless.

La première période de chaleurs après ma transformation en loup-garou, mon petit ami Florian a rompu avec moi. Je n'arrêtais pas de pleurer, non pas parce que j'étais triste, mais parce que la douleur des chaleurs était sur le point de m'engloutir. J'ai tiré désespérément sur sa manche, essayant de l'embrasser de force pour apaiser ma souffrance. Mais il m'a poussée avec impatience vers son frère en disant : « Mon frère, Camille a trop bu et ne pouvait pas se contrôler, peux-tu la calmer pour moi ? » En voyant Louis s'approcher, mon petit ami a ajouté à voix basse : « Louis, garde un œil sur elle, ne laisse aucun autre homme s'approcher. Je romps juste temporairement avec elle, mais une fois que j'en aurai assez de m'amuser, je reviendrai avec elle. » Louis a hoché la tête, m'a portée dans la voiture et m'a consolée avec douceur : « Tu souffres beaucoup ? » Incapable de supporter la douleur des chaleurs, j'ai attrapé sa cravate en pleurant et l'ai supplié : « Aide-moi... » Les pupilles de Louis se sont rétrécies, sa voix était rauque : « Comment veux-tu que je t'aide ? » J'ai collé mes lèvres aux siennes et ajouté : « Embrasse-moi... ou laisse-moi t'embrasser. » À la fin de ce baiser passionné, ma souffrance s'est largement apaisée. J'ai regardé Louis, dont le bout des oreilles était rouge, et j'ai de nouveau attrapé sa cravate. « Peux-tu me raccompagner chez moi ? »
