Umur Echo Sanji

Untuk mendapatkan inspirasi dalam ujian seni, ibuku menyewa guru privat untukku. Di bawah cahaya redup, kakiku di bawah meja perlahan-lahan bergerak dan bertumpu di kaki guruku. Guruku mulai meremas kakiku dengan kuat dan menatapku dengan tatapan yang membara. Suara hujan lebat yang begitu rapat di luar sana, yang berpadu dengan suasana hening …. Membuat pikiranku tidak bisa berhenti untuk melayang ke mana-mana. Tubuhku juga terasa aneh. Kemudian, guruku tersenyum dan menutup pintu. Dengan hati-hati, dia melepas dasinya dan berkata hendak "membahas pelajaran" denganku.

The night I came of age, the vampire prince Damon couldn’t wait to drag me to his bed. He took me with a desperate, wild hunger that lasted all night long. My body ached, but my heart was full. I’d been his blood servant for ten years. I thought he was finally ready to give me the Embrace, to make me his forever. But after, as he held me and talked on the phone with my foster brother, I heard Marcus ask him in Latin, “So, Master, how did my little sister taste? You know how many men would kill to be in your place? They all think she's a goddess.” Damon's lips curled. “Not bad. A little green. Not nearly wild enough for my tastes.” Marcus laughed. “Well, she's been hopelessly devoted to you since she was a kid. Never even dated.” Then Damon’s voice lowered. “Don't tell Serena about Elena. I have to marry a noble vampire like her in the end, and I don't want her upset.” “A little human like Elena… she's just good for practice.” But Damon didn't know I'd secretly learned Latin just to feel worthy of him. Hearing that, I didn't say a word. I just quietly changed my college application from the University of New Orleans to my dream school, University of Oxford.

I am Alpha Dominic’s fated mate. I saved him when he was at his lowest. He didn't care that I was just an ordinary Omega. Countless times, as we mated, he’d kiss me like he was starving for me, whispering that I was a gift from the Moon Goddess herself. But that was before his ex—the high-born she-wolf, Chloe—came back. He started letting his pack walk all over me. And when my grandmother was framed for poisoning Chloe, he had her thrown in the dungeon cells without a second thought. I begged him, but Dominic just shot me a cold, warning look. "Evelyn, our mating ceremony is a week away. Don't let this scandal ruin it." He didn't know. That night, my grandmother died in those cells. And I made a decision. I refuse to be his Luna.

For five years, I was married to the heir of the Romano family, Italy's biggest crime family. Every night, he'd hold me and whisper, "Just give me an heir, and I'll give him the entire Romano empire." But I never got pregnant, and the Don's disappointment in me grew with every passing month. Until I found out my husband had been secretly swapping my folic acid for birth control pills. I was still reeling from the fury when I saw a post from his ex-girlfriend: an ultrasound photo. Her caption was sweet and smug: “Ten weeks along. Vincent said he can’t wait to meet the baby.” Seeing the flood of congratulations, my mind was made up. I found the contact info for my ex-boyfriend—the one who’d spent the last five years trying to get me back. I sent him a single text. 【Give me one month. Then I’m coming with you.】

Five years into my marriage to the Don, Ives Moretti, he left me for dead during a shootout to get his mistress, Isabella, to safety. I woke up three days later in a private hospital room. No apology. Ives was cold. “You’re my wife. You knew the risks. Stop being so dramatic.” Then, he added, “Isabella’s different. She’s fragile. She needed me.” That was followed by three months of the silent treatment. Like always, he expected me to be the one to break, to come crawling back begging for forgiveness. Three months later, I handed the Irish deal to Isabella on a silver platter. The big one I’d spent half a year building myself. Ives thought it was a peace offering. He smiled, a rare, genuine thing these days. “I knew you’d come around. As a reward, we’ll go to Vegas. I know you’ve always wanted to go.” The next day, Isabella whined about being bored, and he broke his promise. He took her to Vegas instead. Told me it was “urgent family business.” This time, I didn’t cry. Didn’t make a scene. Ives was pleased I was being so understanding. He had no idea I was already cutting all ties to the Moretti family. That he’d already signed the divorce papers. I was free.

Eu renasci, voltando para o dia antes do meu casamento. A primeira coisa que fiz? Troquei de noivo com a minha irmã. Da última vez, me casei com Julian, um magnata da tecnologia de temperamento calmo. Ele não conseguia lidar com o meu jeito explosivo, e eu não suportava o quanto ele era fraco. Nosso casamento desmoronou em menos de um ano. Minha irmã, doce e tímida, estava em um casamento arranjado com Robin Kane, o Don da maior organização criminosa de Nova York. Ela não conseguiu suportar aquela vida brutal e caótica. Atormentada por Isabella, a suposta "paixão de infância" de Robin, acabou caindo em uma depressão profunda… e morreu. Então, quando tive uma segunda chance, tomei uma decisão. Eu seria a mulher que se casaria com o Don. Mas eu nunca esperei que, depois do casamento, aquele Don frio e implacável se tornaria um homem completamente diferente. Todas as noites, ele me prendia contra o corpo, me beijando como se fosse obcecado, sussurrando: — Boa garota… vou fazer você se sentir bem… só mais uma vez, baby…

Renací y volví al día antes de mi boda. ¿Lo primero que hice? Intercambiar de esposo con mi hermana. En mi vida pasada, me casé con Julian, un magnate tecnológico de carácter apacible. Él no podía soportar mi temperamento explosivo, y yo no toleraba lo blando que era. Nuestro matrimonio se vino abajo en menos de un año. Mi hermana, dulce y tímida, estaba comprometida en un matrimonio arreglado con Robin Kane, el Don de la familia criminal más poderosa de Nueva York. Ella no pudo soportar aquella vida brutal y caótica. Torturada por Isabella, la supuesta amor de la infancia de Robin, cayó en una profunda depresión y murió. Así que, cuando volví, tomé una decisión: esta vez, la que se casaría con el Don sería yo. Pero jamás esperé que, después de la boda, aquel Don frío y estoico se convirtiera en un hombre completamente distinto. Cada noche me tenía debajo de él, besándome como si estuviera obsesionado, mientras me susurraba al oído: —Buena chica. Voy a hacerte sentir bien. Solo una vez más, nena.

In the middle of the night, my husband started talking in his sleep. "My little treasure, Daddy's taking you and Mommy to the new house tomorrow." But we were using protection. Where the hell did a kid come from? So I opened his phone. I saw the money transfers to another woman—spent on all kinds of luxury shit and a house. The photo album had pictures of her in a skimpy stripper outfit, a little bump in her belly. The last one was an ultrasound. Four months along, it looked like. I didn't make a sound. Just saved the evidence. They were about to learn the price of betraying a mafia princess.

fter catching my husband, Dante, in bed with his assistant, Angelina, again, I did something stupid. I leaked the video. I wanted the whole world to see them for what they were. But all I got was a lawsuit from the family and a six-month jail sentence. And an essay from my son titled, “My Mother Is Crazy.” That’s when I finally broke. I filed for divorce and gave up custody of our son. The day I left, Dante sneered at me. "Where you gonna go without me, Isabella? It's not too late to come crawling back." What he didn't know was that my mother runs the Wright family—the biggest outfit in Italy. And I'm her only heir.

I was the princess of the Blood Moon pack, the little sister my Alpha brothers cherished. But that all changed when they brought home Lily, the human girl they adopted. They threw me in the dungeons for three days to “reflect.” My crime? Taking Lily into the forest and “accidentally” letting a rogue wolf attack her. I tried to explain, to tell them I was innocent. But my three brothers just looked at me with disgust and disappointment. “Aren't you just jealous that Lily’s getting our attention? Freya, when did you become so vicious?” Then, without a second thought, they severed our sibling mind link, cutting off my pleas for mercy. What they didn’t know was that the weakening wolfsbane in my cell had been swapped for lethal wolf's venom. Three days later, my oldest brother, Ethan, asked the butler, “Has Freya learned her lesson?” By then, I was already dead. My body was already starting to rot.
