Spider Lily Red

Mula sa isang "blended family," si Chantelle ay lumaking naiiba. Siya'y pinalaki nang may pagmamahal ng kanyang lola matapos mawala ang kanyang ina. Itinakwil siya ng kanyang amang si Gérard, na kontrolado ng bagong asawang si Rhonda, at napag-iwanan ng kanyang mababaw na kapatid na si Mégane. Natutunan niyang mabuhay sa katahimikan. Nang magkasakit nang malubha ang kanyang lola, isang diagnosis ang gumulo sa kanyang buhay. Walang suportang pamilya ni sapat na pera, tinanggap ni Chantelle ang isang hindi inaasahang alok: isang daang gabi kapalit ng isang milyong euro, kasama ang isang mayamang lalaking hindi niya malalaman ang pagkakakilanlan. Sa bawat pagkikita, nakasuot ng maskara ang lalaki, nananatiling tahimik, at hindi pinapayagang magsalita si Chantelle. Tanging mga anonymous na bank transfer at isang nakakalunod na pabango ang naiiwan niyang alaala. Isang araw, napilitan siya ng kanyang ama na dumalo sa isang family dinner. Doo'y nabigla siya nang makitang kasama ang nobyo ni Mégane: si Collen Wilkinson, ang malamig at hindi maabot na CEO ng malakas na kumpanyang pinapasukan niya bilang isang simpleng empleyado. Nang magkasalubong ang kanilang mga mata, nagulo siya. Isang detalye ang sumiklab sa kanyang isip: ang pabango nito. Iyon mismo ang pabango ng lalaking naka-maskara na kasama niya sa labindalawang gabi... at may natitira pang walumpu't walo. Ngayon, pumasok ito sa kanyang buhay sa liwanag ng araw, at kailangan niyang harapin ang katotohanang nagkukubli sa likod ng nakagugulong kontratang ito.

On my thirtieth birthday, Gideon Salton told me to meet him at city hall. He made sure I wore a wedding dress and brought my papers, hyping it up as a huge birthday surprise. But when I showed up, all dressed up, he turned to his trashy crew and laughed. "No way—she actually did it. Dress, docs, the whole thing. Pay up, fifty bucks each." Then he looked at me. "Come on, Madison. You didn't seriously fall for that?" I didn't answer. He smirked. "If you're that thirsty to get hitched, go inside and grab some rando to register with." His friends cracked up. They called me Gideon's loyal simp, his forever backup plan. Said I'd never end up with anyone else. But when I came out with my husband and a legit marriage certificate, Gideon just froze—pale, silent, wrecked.

El año en que renací fue el año en que comenzó la guerra de los vampiros. Lo primero que hice fue deshacerme del cachorro. El cachorro de mi compañero. El del Alfa Lucas. En mi última vida, él encubrió a su amiga de la infancia, Sarah, cuando ella se apareó con un vampiro. Tomó a mi propio cachorro de sangre pura y lo intercambió con el de ella, un bastardo mestizo. Me tildaron de traidora. Me torturaron hasta la muerte en una mazmorra de plata. Y mi propio cachorro, con el cerebro lavado por Sarah, se paró junto a mi cadáver y me dijo que me pudriera en el infierno. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, estaba embarazada de tres meses. No lo dudé. Fui directamente a la cabaña de la bruja y bebí el veneno que me dio. Pero mientras una vida se agotaba, descorché otra botella: una costosa Poción Mímica. Esta simulaba el latido del corazón de un cachorro y hacía desprender el aroma de una madre en cinta. Lucas quiere un cachorro para que cargue con la culpa del crimen de Sarah. Bien. Le voy a dar un espectáculo. Esta vez, no tengo ninguna debilidad.

The company holds a management meeting. My wife's secretary, Lisa Carter, is checking IDs at the conference room entrance. She greets everyone who enters with a warm smile. But when it is my turn, she lets out a scornful laugh. I frown and pull out my Cybersecurity Department Manager's ID, but she doesn't even glance at it. "Mr. Torres, Ms. Shaw took pity on you and made you a manager. Do you really think you're somebody important?" I ignore her and dial the CEO's direct line instead. "Someone's saying my position is just charity from you. Is it true?"

Elena Moretti has always lived by the rules. Raised in the wealthy, devout heart of Rome, her life is governed by faith, family honor, and the unyielding rhythm of the Angelus bells. But when Rev. Matteo Romano returns from Paris to serve in her Trastevere parish, everything she thought she knew about devotion and desire is thrown into question. Matteo is calm, refined, and seemingly untouchable — yet he carries a quiet fire, a dangerous intensity that Elena cannot ignore. Their connection begins with fleeting glances, subtle touches, and whispered words that blur the line between spiritual guidance and personal temptation. Each encounter pulls them deeper into a forbidden spiral, challenging Elena’s beliefs, igniting desires she has been taught to suppress, and threatening the lives they’ve carefully built. As their clandestine bond strengthens, Elena discovers that desire is far more consuming than faith, and Matteo begins to confront the tension between duty and passion. But in a city steeped in tradition and scrutiny, secrecy is fleeting, and the cost of indulgence is devastating.
