EXCERPT. "This cock was the reason you killed my wife, now ride it till it bruises you," Lucien hissed as he tightened his hold around my neck. "You are a bad girl Bambina mia, how can your mouth be watering for my dick?" Don Luciano, my father-in-law, chuckled as he gently rubbed my bruised lips. ...... ...... Despite being the only daughter of a Mafia Lord, Aria had been pampered and hidden all her life, she knew no violence until her 18th birthday. Drugged and miraculously ending up in bed with her cousin's husband, she triggered her death and realized she had no choice but to marry him (her cousin's husband). But Lucien, the head of the largest Mafia syndicate, hated her; he believed she was the reason why the woman he loved died, so he agreed to marry her to torment her. War was brewing but so was sexual desire between the people who claimed to hate one another. Tormented and battered, Aria sought comfort in her favorite popstar, a mysterious, famous, masked singer, Michell Blaze, who didn't scream danger, but Aria soon realized how wrong she was. She thought her father-in-law irritated her but she soon found herself begging for his assault. When the mask fell, Aria realized that she was not only trapped in-between the men who had ruined her peaceful life but also the man who healed and destroyed her.

En la víspera de la boda, Alejandra, la madrastra de Juan publicó una foto en twitter. En la foto, ella llevaba el vestido de novia que yo había elegido, sostenía un ramo de rosas rojas, y le pedía un beso a Juan con expresión tímida. El texto de la foto decía: ¨Deseo cumplido¨. Esta vez no llamé a Juan para quejarme y llorar como antes. Solo dejé un "me gusta", y un comentario:"La captura de pantalla ya hecha, se la he enviado al padre de Juan." Y poco después, Alejandra eliminó la publicación, mientras Juan me llamó: -Alena, eres demasiado celosa. A partir de ahora, pasaré toda mi vida contigo. Hoy simplemente cumplí el deseo pequeñito de Alejandra. ¡Habla con mi padre y explícaselo! Pórtate bien, y te preparo un regalo. Me reí con burla: -Juan, ¿no entiendes el lenguaje humano? ¡Ve a explicárselo a tu padre!

Issue d'une famille reconnue dans le monde des affaires, Nina, licenciée en relations internationales et en droit des affaires, rêve de s'envoler du confort habituel en réussissant par ses propres moyens plutôt que de travailler dans l'entreprise familiale où elle doit subir les pressions d'une mère au caractère difficile.

Cuando mis papás me llamaron para decirme que fuéramos a la casa de mi amigo de la infancia para conocer a la chica de su cita arreglada, él todavía seguía durmiendo profundamente a mi lado. Pensé que era una broma y susurré: —Marcelo, dicen que te han arreglado una cita. Soltó un «Ajá...» soñoliento y me atrajo hacia sus brazos: —Mi Luci, échame una mano después a elegir ropa y con el pelo, ¿va? Al notar que me quedaba tiesa, Marcelo abrió los ojos y soltó una risa burlona: —Oye, ¿qué te pasa? No somos nada más que sexo con complicidad, ¿no me digas que creíste que me iba a casar contigo?

Everything has changed in one year; only one year has changed. She has suffered a lot, and now she meets the bad boy who will make her come back to life again, but hey, he doesn't know her secret. ... "Of course, my dear...but your two brothers will go with you," my mother said, then my eyes widened in astonishment. "But..." I said, trying to block her decision. "No, but..." Mom said insistently.

What will happen at the party? Will you be there?

Cuando entré en aquel juego de terror, mi miopía extrema me jugó una mala pasada. Con la poca visibilidad que tenía, a la niña fantasma del vestido rojo la consideré como si fuera mi propia hija. Al Boss lo adopté ni más ni menos que como a mi esposo, y a esas criaturas viejas y extrañas, las traté con esmero al verlas mis propios padres. La primera vez que me topé con el Boss, no pude evitar acercarme y darle un toquecito en los abdominales mientras le decía: —¡Qué cuerpazo te cargas, mi vida! Lástima que estés tan chaparrito... Él soltó una risa bastante tensa, se puso la cabeza que tenía cortada de vuelta en el cuello, y mostrándome los dientes me soltó: —¡Mido un metro ochenta y seis! ¿Y ahora qué me dices?
