Synonym Of Grit

El mundo humano fue invadido por vampiros y hombres lobo. Mis padres nobles, para complacerlos, nos entregaron a mí y a la falsa heredera en matrimonio. En mi vida pasada, la impostora Serafina eligió al hombre lobo: fuerte y leal. Yo, en cambio, escogí al vampiro: elegante y noble. La noche de luna llena, el hombre lobo en celo devoró a Serafina hasta los huesos. Y yo, tras recibir el Abrazo del vampiro, obtuve la inmortalidad. Pero mis padres, ciegos de dolor, me drogaron y me arrojaron a la cama del hombre lobo. Entre garras y colmillos, morí desgarrada. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, estaba otra vez en el día del sorteo. Esa vez, la impostora volcó la urna y, entre mimos, gritó que quería al vampiro: —Hermana, esta vez la inmortalidad será mía. Yo no puse objeción y acepté al hombre lobo brutal. Renacida, Serafina seguía siendo igual de estúpida, creyendo que la felicidad se consigue a costa de un hombre. Pero lo que yo deseo... es liberar a toda la humanidad.

—Es mi pareja —dijo Jason en voz baja, con la cabeza un poco inclinada.En ese momento se abrió la puerta que teníamos detrás y sentí que el viento entraba en el edificio.Y sentí algo más. Algo que no podía describir.…No, no lo es —gritó otra voz, un poco retumbante, como el timbre que Jason dijo que tendría la voz del Alfa—: Ella es mía.-Pensaba que mi vida no podía ser peor, teniendo una familia maltratadora y un acosador que hacía de mi vida un infierno. Sólo mi novio hombre lobo, Jason, me convenció de ir a las tierras de su manada, donde estaría a salvo.Pero en cuanto llegamos allí, descubrí que «a salvo» era la última palabra que podía utilizar para describir mi situación.Primero, era la única humana allí. Segundo, Jason me mintió y nunca fue mi pareja. Y tercero, no podía volver al mundo humano, porque el Alfa me reclamó como suya, y ahora soy prisionera de por vida."Forzada a ser la pareja del Alfa" es una obra de Caricia Dulse, autora de eGlobal Creative Publishing.

Cuando la exnovia de mi esposo sufrió quemaduras con agua hirviendo, él, para castigarme, me metió en una vaporera lo suficientemente grande para una persona y subió la temperatura al máximo. —¡Pagarás el daño que sufrió Luciana, multiplicado por mil! —sentenció. Atrapada en ese espacio estrecho, apenas podía respirar, mientras mi cuerpo ardía y yo le suplicaba entre lágrimas: —¡Por favor, voy a morir! Pero él, abrazando a su exnovia, se marchó sin mirar atrás. —Tranquila, no morirás. ¡Pero sí entenderás el sufrimiento de Luciana! Grité desesperada dentro de la vaporera mientras el agua hirviendo, debajo de la bandeja, me salpicaba la piel. Poco a poco, mi voz se fue apagando. Él se fue de viaje al extranjero con su exnovia, y, solo una semana después, al regresar al país, recordó mi existencia. —Esa maldita ya debe haber aprendido su lección. ¡Sáquenla de ahí! Lo que él no sabía era que en aquella vaporera, que había dejado calentarse cuando el agua se evaporó, mi cadáver ya estaba cubierto de gusanos.

Aaron Hale has survived on grit, secrets, and nightlife shifts in an East L.A. club—never knowing the owner watching him from the shadows is Zayden Blackwell, a powerful man whose obsession runs deeper than lust. Months before Aaron ever notices him, Zayden secretly buys the club, manipulates shifts and tips, and even pays Bianca—Aaron’s first love—to break his heart, all to push him into accepting a mysterious job at his mansion. But Zayden isn’t the only shadow tied to Aaron. Slate, Zayden’s cold half-brother, once saved Aaron’s life during a kidnapping attempt Zayden himself orchestrated years ago. Slate was meant to “manage” Aaron in the mansion, not fall for him, but his forbidden desire grows uncontrollably. Inside the mansion, Aaron discovers a locked room filled with photos and belongings of himself—Zayden’s collection—and a drawer of secret notes from Slate, revealing his own obsession. A staff member reports Aaron’s every move to an unknown enemy, while a hidden safe shows Zayden prepared legal documents to control Aaron’s entire future. A mysterious texter warns: “He’s lying to you. Both of them are.” At the mansion’s deadly climax event, Aaron flips the psychological game—forcing Zayden to surrender the control he’s never given anyone.

"What do you want from me, Vin?" She whispers. Her eyes linger all over my face and settle on my lips and she bites hers. Fuck me. I will beg on my knees to have her. To fulfill all the fantasies haunting my dreams since we parted. " I want you, baby. I will always want you. Every day of my life" I honestly whisper, begging her with my eyes. "And why didn't you wait for me?" Her scowl returns as she tries to push me away" You claim to have been waiting for me, yet you fuck anything with a damn hole. Is that what you want from me, a quick fuck?" She screams in my face and I grit my teeth in annoyance. "Then fuck me and get the hell out of my house" Eva yells and I quickly pull away as if she just burnt me. "That is not what I want Eva, you are being ridiculous" Eva chuckles and lifts her dress and takes it off. I groan warning her to stop but she doesn't listen. She takes off the holster holding two daggers and tosses them on the floor. Eva and Vin grow up in an orphanage together. Circumstances lead them to part ways, and when they meet again, they are completely different people from what they used to be. Can their love keep them together from the worlds they find themselves in, or what they had was just childish fantasies?

La viuda del mejor amigo de mi esposo subió una ecografía. «Gracias por tu esperma. Al fin voy a tener mi bebé.» Abrí la foto y me quedé en shock. En donde decía «padre del bebé», aparecía el nombre de mi esposo: Nelson Navarro. No dije nada. Solo dejé un comentario con un simple signo de interrogación. No pasó ni un minuto y Nelson ya me estaba llamando, furioso. —¡¿Qué te pasa?! —me gritó—. ¡Ella está sola, viuda! Solo quiere tener un hijo para no sentirse tan vacía. ¿Tan difícil es entenderlo? Eduardo fue mi mejor amigo, murió, y yo estoy cumpliendo con él. ¡Eso es lo que hace un hombre que tiene palabra! ¿O tú qué crees? Unos días después, la misma viuda subió otra foto. Esta vez, de un departamento nuevo, todo impecablemente decorado con muebles de lujo. «Menos mal que te tengo. Contigo volví a sentir el calor de un hogar.» En la imagen se veía a Nelson de espaldas, cocinando tranquilo, con el delantal puesto, concentrado frente a la estufa. «Ya está», pensé en ese momento. «Esta relación no da para más».

En la boda, el sobrino de cuatro años del novio de repente subió a la tarima, tomó de la mano al novio y gritó a todo pulmón: —Papá, ¿por qué te quieres casar con otra mujer? ¿Ya no nos quieres a mamá y a mí? La madre del niño, que estaba abajo de la tarima, corrió a detenerlo. Con una sonrisa forzada, como si se disculpara pero buscando provocar, dijo: —Lo siento, Dany perdió a su padre cuando era pequeño y siempre ha visto a su tío como su papá. No fue su intención causar problemas. Incluso mi esposo, con total calma, tomó al niño en brazos y me explicó: —Antes de morir, mi hermano me pidió que cuidara de su esposa y de su hijo. Para que Dany tuviera una infancia feliz, le permití que me llamara "papá". No lo malinterpretes. Al ver a las tres personas frente a mí tan felices y tranquilas, solté una risa fría y me quité el velo. —Pobrecito niño… ¿cómo podría yo arrebatarle a su padre? Ya que es así, ¿por qué no le dejo el lugar de novia a tu cuñada? Así ustedes pueden formar una familia completa de tres.

They are imperfect heroines, unwilling to compromise with gloomy lives. They grit their teeth to get out of their own way. They will become dazzling after completing fated and dangerous trials. “Wild Rose” Harrison Moore pleaded, his eyes turning red, "Do me a favor again. I promise it's the last time." I sneered and said, "If you want to convince me, drop to your knees." Then, this tall, strong man did kneel in front of me. However, his back remained upright. When he looked up at me, his taut jawline was especially attractive. I once took advantage of the drunkenness to kiss him on the jaw but was pushed away by him and fell to the floor. He chuckled and said, "Katherine, what's wrong with you? I'm your elder brother." I bit my lips awkwardly and wanted to flee, but he hooked his finger at me. "Take off your clothes. Is this all you can do?" “Lily” That woman ruined my family. So, to take revenge, I deliberately approached her brother. I lived in his house and tried hard to lure him. But he was so calm that he had never been disturbed. I could not help but sneer at him as I felt deeply depressed. However, after a long time, I cried. "I was a child at that time and was too naive." He responded slowly but his eyes were full of aggressivity. "You should pay for what you said, whether you were a little girl or not."
