Tom Lockwood

Mi hijo me pidió algo que no podía darle. —Solo tres oportunidades, mamá —susurró—. Si después de eso realmente no nos ama... nos iremos para siempre. Estaba hablando de su padre, Giovanni Romano, el heredero de un imperio mafioso y mi esposo solo de nombre. Él nunca nombró a mi hijo como suyo y no me dijo que me amaba ni una sola vez. En la primera oportunidad, a Giovanni le falló la memoria, en la segunda, mintió y en la tercera... rompió algo que ninguna disculpa podía arreglar. Así que empacamos nuestras maletas, tomé la mano de mi hijo y nos fuimos. Sin lágrimas ni despedidas, solo en silencio. La noche en que nuestro avión despegó, mi teléfono vibró. “Espera”, decía su mensaje. “Regresaré a casa”. Pero ya mi casa no estaba donde él estaba, sino donde mi hijo finalmente pudiera dormir sin llorar. Porque algunas promesas no se rompen, se destruyen, y algunas madres se cansan de esperar.

“Take off your dress, Meadow.” “Why?” “Because your ex is watching,” he said, leaning back into his seat. “And I want him to see what he lost.” ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger’s offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition—he can’t feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience… revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn’t share what’s his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

When Steven Baxter, the heartthrob of the school, admits that he loves action movies the most, my childhood friend, Lisa Thornton, has my limbs strapped to four huge drones. During the flag-raising ceremony on Monday morning, the drones lift me high up in the air in front of the entire school. The students' laughter is deafeningly loud. The videos they take quickly go viral, too. I only get to return to the surface once the drones finally run out of power and make their descent automatically. With a wide grin on her face, Lisa unties me from the drones. "Steven loves action movies, so we had you cosplay the main character from the most popular Tom Cruise movie. "We grew up together since we were kids, Dominic. Surely you don't mind, right?" As I sit on the ground, Steven pulls Lisa into his arms before he starts guffawing at me. Tears soon streak down his face from all the laughing. "I can't believe you actually peed yourself!" "Ahahahaha!" I get up to my feet and walk away. From then on, I don't return to Lisa's side. But Lisa soon loses her mind. "We've known each other for ten years! Must you really do this to me?"

Sin embargo, lo que la esperó al final fue a Vicente, que volvía tomado de la mano de otra mujer: Paloma Torres. La noche que estuvo en peligro, ella llamó a su novio Vicente para pedir ayuda.

“Don’t…” Her voice shook, eyes meeting his, heat rushing to her cheeks as every little thing that happened to her crashed into her like a punch to the gut. She suddenly felt so lonely. “Don’t leave me. Please” Rowan’s eyes flicked between hers. “I didn’t plan to, darling.” “Take it off,” he ordered quietly, pulling his fingers away, causing her to whimper. Born to a family that despises her, a twin sister that bullies her, and the Beta’s wolfless daughter, Alicia Meyer only has refuge in one person, her boyfriend, Tom.

En medio de la fiesta de compromiso, cuando la torre de champán ya iba por la mitad, el celular de Marcos Harrison sonó. Me miró fijo y soltó, serio: —Tengo que irme. Lilia se desmayó en el aeropuerto. —Si te vas, lo nuestro se acaba —le respondí con firmeza. De todos modos, se fue... justo frente a doscientas personas. Cargó a Lilia Harrison en brazos —llevaba el abrigo que yo le había regalado— y se fue en mi auto. Al día siguiente recibí un correo: "Lilia se mudará a mi departamento. Me necesita. Ojalá lo entiendas. Cuando se recupere, tú y yo nos casamos. Confía en mí." Me quedé mirando la pantalla y, sin darme cuenta, solté una carcajada. Al final, no era a "quien lo amaba" a quien quería, sino a "quien lo necesitaba". Y yo, por ser tan autosuficiente, no le servía. Esa noche busqué un número en la agenda: el de alguien a quien jamás tomé en serio, pero que me había esperado por veintitrés años. Llamé. —Mañana a las siete, en el restaurante frente al mar.
