Talasalitaan Sa El Filibusterismo Kabanata 1

La noche del incendio, no volví a detener a mi prometido cuando corrió a salvar a Sofía, su sobrina sin lazo de sangre. Lo vi desaparecer entre las llamas. En mi vida anterior, el hotel se incendió el mismo día de nuestra boda. Mateo y yo logramos escapar; Sofía quedó atrapada. Cuando él quiso lanzarse de nuevo, lo frené una y otra vez. Al final apagaron el fuego, pero de ella no quedó rastro. Mateo dijo que no me culpaba. Mintió. Tres años después —el día de nuestro aniversario y del tercer luto de Sofía— nos llevó a mi hijo y a mí a bucear., y, una vez a casi cien metros bajo el agua, arrancó nuestras mangueras de oxígeno. —Me impediste salvar a Sofía. Una vida por otra —escupió. Supliqué por mi hijo. Se dio la vuelta y nos dejó. Morimos asfixiados. Solo entonces supe la verdad: Mateo siempre amó a Sofía. Me odió por robarle a la mujer que quería. Al abrir de nuevo los ojos, volví al día del incendio...

Después de mi muerte, mis padres firmaron el consentimiento para donar mis órganos, por lo que mi retina terminó en el cuerpo de Carina Fernández, la hija adoptiva que más amaban. Tras esto, Carina se casó con mi propio hermano. Por fin, se convirtieron en una verdadera familia. Pasé toda una vida compitiendo con ella, solo para acabar sin nada, sola, con un destino miserable. Pero, al renacer, decidí vivir mi vida para mí. Y, contra todo pronóstico, el camino me llevó a una felicidad inesperada.

El amor de mi infancia, quien me prometió matrimonio apenas nos graduáramos de la universidad, terminó pidiendo la mano de la falsa heredera, Gloria Ruiz, en mi ceremonia de graduación. Luego de que mi primer amor se comprometiera, Miguel Vargas, el monje aristócrata a los ojos de todos, me declaró su amor públicamente. Durante cinco años de matrimonio, fue extremadamente cariñoso y me adoraba profundamente. Hasta que, por accidente, escuché una conversación con un amigo. —Miguel, Gloria ya es famosa, ¿vas a seguir fingiendo con Sara? —De todas formas, no puedo casarme con Gloria, ya no importa. Además, mientras esté conmigo, ella no podrá interferir en la felicidad de Gloria. Tras esto, vi que cada uno de sus preciados textos religiosos tenía el nombre de Gloria: «Que Gloria se libere de sus obsesiones, que encuentre paz en cuerpo y alma.» «Que Gloria obtenga todo lo que desea, que su amor no conozca preocupaciones.» «Gloria, no estamos destinados en esta vida, solo deseo que en la próxima podamos caminar juntos.» En ese momento, desperté de cinco años de ilusión. Preparé una identidad falsa y planifiqué un ahogamiento. Desde entonces, nosotros, vida tras vida, no necesitamos volver a encontrarnos.

Cuando el primer amor de mi esposo descubrió que estaba embarazada, me empujó deliberadamente por la borda del crucero. Pero en lugar de gritar pidiendo ayuda, agarré a Camila —mi suegra, la madre de León— que también había caído al agua, y juntas luchamos por sobrevivir. En mi vida anterior, había gritado desesperadamente en el mar, por lo que mi esposo organizó de inmediato un equipo de rescate que nos salvó a ambas. Pero las manchas de sangre de su primer amor atrajeron tiburones que la devoraron viva. Después de que ella muriera, mi esposo dijo que no merecía ninguna lástima por haberme empujado al agua, y aunque yo estaba aterrorizada, él accedía a todos mis caprichos. Sin embargo cuando nuestro hijo nació, ocurrió que él usó la tablilla conmemorativa de su primer amor para golpear al bebé hasta matarlo. —¡Todo es culpa tuya, maldita, por hacerme perder a mi verdadero amor! ¡Ahora sabrás lo que se siente al perder a alguien! Con todas mis fuerzas, hice que él y yo muriéramos juntos. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, descubrí con asombro que había regresado a ese mismo mar.

The last thing Miranda thought when she responded to a prison pen pal request was to find true love. Joel, well, he was only hoping to pass time and maybe if he was lucky, he'd find someone to have a little fun with after doing ten years of hard time in the state penitentiary for a crime he committed when he had just barely turned eighteen years old. He had been hardened by the things he'd seen and the experiences of imprisonment and no longer believed in lovey dovey fairy tales or happily ever after. So hardened in fact, that he knew women only led to one thing-trouble. Not even a good girl like Miranda would break him ever again. Not with her long dark hair, those hypnotizing amber-eyes, and definitely not those full lips that would look so good…nope, nope, nope. What neither one expected was to find the perfect balance of emotional and physical attraction. Can Miranda's persistence and commitment soften and heal Joel's untrusting heart or will Joel break Miranda in ways she has never experienced before? This is the first book of three in the Locked-Up Lovers series. Enjoy!
