To Kill A Mockingbird Chapter 10

As the wife of the Colombian cartel heir, Krystal Serrano is a symbol of diplomacy and control. Dressed in silk, wrapped in silence, and displayed like a crown jewel at the center of power. But behind the flawless smile lies a woman raised not just to survive, but to rule. When her husband's betrayal ignites a war with the Italian mafia, Krystal is taken. Kidnapped and hidden away by Zachary Romano, the young, ruthless Don who solves problems with bullets and buries questions with bodies. He thought he had captured a soft, obedient mafia wife. What he brought home was a storm in heels. Krystal doesn't beg. She doesn't break. Her silence provokes, her lips taunt, and her gaze slices deeper than any blade. Inside the stone walls of his private villa, control begins to slip. Hatred turns into tension. Tension burns into obsession. And in their world, love always comes with blood on its hands. The ring on her finger still binds her to a man who believes she belongs to him. But what happens when a woman like Krystal meets someone dark enough to understand her, broken enough to match her, and reckless enough to want her? Because there's a difference between loving a woman like Krystal… And trying to own her. And Zach Romano is about to learn—only one man can stand beside her. The rest will be buried.

A curse born from the Moon Goddess’s sin haunts the world — a bloodline doomed to destroy the ones they love. Once every century, the Shadow Bride is reborn, destined to kill her fated mate and bring ruin to the supernatural realm. Ravenna is the last of them. Born under a cursed moon, hunted from birth, she is marked by fate to become the weapon that ends all others. Her only chance to survive is to hide the truth — until the night she’s captured by the ruthless Alpha King, Kaelion. He believes she knows where the Shadow Bride hides. But when her scent reaches him, his wolf whispers one forbidden word: Mate. Now no matter what love they think they have, the truth is always on the line, as her life is. For once he finds out, there will be only two choices left, Kill or claim her. To love her is death. To kill her is war. And yet, he cannot let her go.

Ximena was forced to sign a contract to marry and destroy the rumored cold-hearted billionaire just to save her aunt's life. In a home where evil dominates and dark secrets lurk, Ximena was entangled between her mission and her fast-growing feelings. Will her love overpower her mission or would betrayal and heartbreak shatter the feelings and bring nothing, but revenge?

My friend and I transmigrated into a melodramatic novel about a wealthy family. When the mission ended, I chose to leave. He fell for the obsessive female lead and chose to stay with her. Eight years later, the system told me that she had locked him in a mental hospital, and he had only three days left to live. When I rushed to him, he was tied to the bed. His eyes were dull, and he kept repeating my name. His crush, Sterling Group's CEO, was planning a grand wedding with the man she truly loved. I looked at my friend’s hands. They had once played the piano with grace. This time, they were covered in countless needle marks. “You came, I knew you would...” He mustered the last of his strength to look at me. “I was a fool. I thought staying by her side was the truest form of my love for her. “I never realized I was only a stepping stone in her path. “Take me home. I don’t want to die here...”

She was her own person and knew exactly what she wanted. He owned the whole damn thing and thought he could do anything. She had something he wanted but didn't know. He had what she'd always dreamed of, but she had no idea how to achieve it. She lied out of love. He didn't forgive anyone. She hated him from the first time she saw him. He tried to destroy her in every way possible. Bárbara Novaes never imagined that her peaceful life would suddenly turn upside down, when a deathbed request would make her main objective to enter the life of the best-known CEO in the country. Heitor Casanova has never seen a woman as persecuting and insistent as Barbara. But it didn't cross her mind that she didn't want the same thing as everyone else: "him". The bond that united them would force the two to live under the same roof, with a single common goal: to protect what they loved most. Is it possible for mutual anger to turn into love? Would they admit the new feelings that were emerging that they were not able to accept? And would they overcome together all the obstacles that would be created to prevent this relationship from happening??? My first enemies to lovers and CEO together!!! What will it do??? I don't know. Want to find out with me??? Cover: Larah Mattos

Sa kabila ng kanyang buong tiwala at wagas na pagmamahal sa asawa, hindi kailanman inakala ni Isabella na sa bawat ngiti at yakap nito ay nakatago ang isang kasinungalingang wawasak sa buo niyang mundo. Hanggang isang gabi, tuluyang nabunyag ang mapait na katotohanan: ibinenta siya ng sariling asawa. Hindi bilang katuwang, hindi bilang mahal sa buhay—kundi bilang isang kabayaran sa kasunduan na iniligtas ang naluluging negosyo nito. Ang kapalit? Isang multi-milyong dolyar na kontrata. Isang kasunduang isinakripisyo ang kanyang dignidad. Mas lalong bumigat ang lahat nang malaman niyang ibinenta siya kay Sebastian Montgomery—isang kilalang business tycoon na kinatatakutan ng marami. Malamig, walang kompromiso, at may kapangyarihang durugin o buuin ang sinuman sa isang iglap. Ngayon, ang tanong: Paano mo lalabanan ang isang lalaking may legal na pagmamay-ari sa’yo… ngunit unti-unting inaangkin pati puso mo?

Kung ang lalaking mahal niya ay may tinatagong pagkatao… Magbabago rin ba ang pag-ibig na kanilang binuo?
