Traição

Encarei o contrato de casamento dos Vercetti que meu pai empurrou sobre a mesa. Sem hesitar, escrevi o nome da minha meia-irmã, Demi, e o deslizei de volta. Meu pai congelou. Em seguida, seus olhos brilharam com uma empolgação ridícula, como se tivesse acabado de ganhar na loteria. — Como você pode dar uma chance tão perfeita à sua irmã? Na minha vida passada, meu casamento foi uma piada para todos ao meu redor. Eu era a ruiva indomável, a pequena bruxa selvagem que ousou entrar na órbita de Cassian Vercetti, herdeiro e líder da antiga família criminosa Vercetti. Eu nunca fui perfeita nem obediente. Ele amava vestidos de deusa. Eu usava minissaias e dançava sobre as mesas. Ele exigia intimidade na posição missionária, tradicional e ordenada. Eu queria subir por cima, dominá-lo, perder-me completamente. Em um baile de gala, as esposas da alta sociedade riam do meu cabelo, do meu vestido, da minha "selvageria". Achei que ele ao menos fingiria me defender. Não defendeu. — Perdoem-na. Ela não é… devidamente treinada. Treinada. Como um cachorro. Passei toda a minha vida anterior sufocando sob as regras dele, dobrando-me até sangrar para caber na forma que ele queria, até a noite em que nossa casa pegou fogo. Quando abri os olhos novamente, estava de volta ao momento em que soube do casamento arranjado. Olhei para o contrato à minha frente. Desta vez? Acho que os garotos da boate combinam mais comigo. Mas, no instante em que Cassian percebeu que a noiva não era eu, ele quebrou todas as regras pelas quais havia vivido.

Gustavo e Anabela viviam em constante conflito desde a infância, transformando qualquer encontro em motivo de briga. Naquele ano, entre todas as famílias tradicionais do círculo social, apenas eles dois restavam como candidatos adequados para um casamento arranjado. Gustavo jurou que jamais se casaria com Anabela, nem que a morte o levasse antes. Despertando súbito interesse pela provocação, Anabela sorriu e declarou: — Então o casamento está decidido. Agora só você precisa morrer logo. No dia da cerimônia, Gustavo espalhou dezenas de galinhas pelo local, determinado a humilhá-la perante todos os convidados. Ela manteve a expressão impassível, pegou uma das aves e começou a chamá-la de marido. A vontade de Gustavo de continuar provocando-a desapareceu por completo. Observando Anabela, que insistia em se casar com ele apesar de tudo, Gustavo sussurrou com desprezo: — Você vai se arrepender. Três anos depois, Anabela flagrou Gustavo traindo pela nonagésima nona vez. Só então ela compreendeu o verdadeiro significado das palavras dele sobre arrependimento.

He has spent his life obeying blood oaths and burying every part of himself that doesn’t serve the syndicate. Love, especially love for a man, is a weakness he cannot afford. Ethan Moreau is a twenty-two-year-old French art student on scholarship at NYU—soft-spoken, openly gay, and painfully trusting. He came to New York to chase beauty in a city full of sharp edges, never expecting one of those edges to look back at him with ice-blue eyes. Their worlds collide by chance in Central Park. A fleeting encounter becomes stolen nights, desperate kisses in shadowed alleys, and whispered promises neither of them can keep.

Misunderstandings fester into silence, jealousy into rage, and love into something that hurts to hold.

“Oh my darling Uncle”. I said while hugging him as he was backing me. “Uncle?”. A different voice asked and it seems to come from the person I'm hugging.

I let go of him immediately like I had been burned and blushed furiously. “Uhm, sorry. I thought you… were my uncle”. I told him. A chuckle brought my attention back to his handsome face. “Hello cutie, why do you think your uncle is here?” He said, his voice sending shivers down my body. *** Happiness Matthews, a 19-year-old college freshman, thought she had everything figured out when she left her small Texas town for the bright lights of California.
