Vanessa Pens

On our first meeting, he made a fake proposal and embarrassed me, and made me lose my job, I never expected to meet him again on the same day, and this time he splashed muddy water on me. **** "It's you again? When did I become so unlucky?!" He complained. He wasn't the only unlucky one, I was also unlucky by meeting him for the second time in one day. "Get away from me," I struggled but he didn't let me go. "Where do you think you're going? Want to run away? Not without settlement. You broke my car!" Vanessa and Andre's lives were worlds apart. She was just trying to make ends meet, while he was a wealthy and powerful man who seemed to have everything. Their first meeting was a memorable one as he embarrassed her, made her lose her job, and also almost run her over while splashing water from the road on her. She retaliate by breaking his car which lands her in huge trouble as he constantly threatened to sue her if she fails to pay for the damage. He offers her a job as his assistant with plans to torture her but had no idea how he started to get used to her presence. A spark of connection, a flicker of something more. As they continued to interact, that spark grew into a flame. But with so much standing in their way, could their love survive?

La amante con VIH y el esposo que pagará caro. A Sabrina, el gran amor de Roberto, le diagnosticaron VIH en el hospital donde yo trabajaba. Faltando a mi ética médica, se lo conté a él. Pero Roberto pensó que lo estaba engañando. No solo me difamó, acusándome de la muerte de un paciente, lo que me llevó a la cárcel, sino que después también diluyó un abortivo en mi leche. Con ocho semanas de embarazo, sufrí una hemorragia masiva. Le supliqué ayuda, pero me apartó de una patada. —Por fin, dejarás de ser un impedimento para que Sabri y yo estemos juntos. Al abrir los ojos de nuevo, estaba de vuelta en el fatídico día en que a Sabrina le habían diagnosticado VIH. Y, esta vez, no solo guardé silencio, sino que además le pedí el divorcio a Roberto. Después de todo, él la amaba tanto… Tenía que dejarlos ser felices juntos.

No dia do divórcio, eu, Lídia Duarte, saí vestindo apenas uma muda de roupa do tempo de casada. A casa, o carro, o dinheiro, as crianças, deixei tudo para Cristiano Reis. Ele me olhou com certa surpresa e zombou: — Você pensou bem? As três filhas que você criou com as próprias mãos, também não as quer mais? — Se você realmente não quer nada, eu também não vou te cobrar pensão alimentícia. Assim fica justo. Assinei o acordo rapidamente e disse com indiferença: — Sim, muito justo. Cristiano hesitou por um instante antes de assinar lentamente seu nome. — Se você se arrepender, nós não precisamos... Acenei com a mão, interrompendo-o, e saí sem olhar para trás. Cristiano costumava dizer que eu me casei com ele por dinheiro e poder, e que eu tentava amarrá-lo usando as crianças. Mas não tem problema. Quando ele for recolher o meu corpo, ele entenderá.

« Luna, retirer la marque d'un Alpha... c'est une souffrance sans nom. Après ça, vous ne serez plus qu'une louve sans meute, une errante. Vous en êtes vraiment certaine ? » « Certaine. Plutôt errante que marquée. » Le guérisseur clandestin en est resté bouche bée. Dans tout notre monde, on disait qu'Alpha Ethan brûlait d'une passion dévorante pour moi. À peine une semaine plus tôt, il avait dépensé une fortune, cent millions de pièces d'or, pour m'offrir le Manoir de Lune et y faire planter des champs entiers de lunaires, ces fleurs que j'adorais. Des centaines de louves auraient tué pour porter sa marque, ce sceau de puissance et de désir. Moi, je n'ai pas hésité une seconde. Marque effacée, j'ai fait imprimer l'acte de rupture de notre lien de couple, réservé un billet pour les territoires d'Amérique. Départ dans sept jours. Adieu, Ethan.

I thought I was just signing a contract. Six months. That was all. Six months living in a mansion I could barely comprehend, caring for a child I had never met, and following rules I didn’t agree to. Then I met him. Cade Ashford — cold, commanding, and impossibly handsome. The kind of man who makes the world feel smaller just by looking at you… and yet, somehow, larger, heavier, full of impossible expectations. Chloe, the little girl who clung to me with cautious trust, became my reason to fight. And just when I thought I was beginning to find my footing, she returned. Vanessa — flawless, manipulative, and dangerous — a woman who would stop at nothing to reclaim the life she thought was hers… and who had no intention of letting me survive this mansion unscathed. Every day, I am tested. Every day, I must prove I’m strong enough, clever enough, and brave enough to protect Chloe and survive Cade’s scrutiny. But in a house full of secrets, power, and hidden agendas, can I survive long enough to discover the truth? Or will I lose everything — the child who trusts me, the man whose heart is both a fortress and a temptation, and even myself — to the shadows lurking behind the mansion walls? Six months. One chance. One contract. And the question that haunts me: Who in this house can I really trust?

Sepuluh hari setelah longsor salju, suamiku akhirnya teringat padaku. Cinta pertamanya menderita anemia aplastik dan sangat membutuhkan sumsum tulangku. Dia pulang dengan membawa formulir persetujuan donor supaya aku bisa menandatanganinya. Namun, dia malah mendapati rumah yang kosong. Kelly bersandar lemah padanya. "Apa Vanessa begitu membenciku, makanya dia sengaja kabur dari rumah karena nggak mau donorkan sumsum tulangnya? Sudahlah, aku masih bisa bertahan beberapa saat." Kelvin menghibur Kelly dengan lembut, "Aku nggak akan membiarkan apa pun terjadi padamu. Cuma minta dia donorkan sumsum tulang kok. Itu nggak akan membunuhnya." Kelvin mengeluarkan ponsel dan mengirimiku pesan. [ Nggak peduli di mana pun kamu berada, segera kembali untuk tandatangani formulir persetujuan donor. ] [ Kamu nggak boleh begitu egois! Penyakit Kelly sangat parah. Kalau nggak segera jalani transplantasi sumsum tulang, dia akan meninggal. Cuma mau kamu donorkan sumsum tulang kok, bukan mau ambil nyawamu! ] [ Kalau kamu nggak setuju, aku akan putuskan biaya pengobatan ibumu! ] 'Kelvin, aku meninggal setelah kamu bawa Kelly pergi dari resor ski. Aku dan anak dalam kandunganku sudah mati terkubur dalam longsor salju. Demi menolongku, ibuku diterkam serigala dan juga sudah meninggal. Kenapa kamu nggak tahu?'

The autumn break has just ended when a call arrives from school. "Ms. Watson, your daughter failed to secure a scholarship and bullied her classmate in retaliation. Can you please come to school?" When I rush over, I find Lila Keats bound to a trash can, her hair drenched in sewage, and her mouth sealed with duct tape. Meanwhile, the so-called victim merely has had two strands of hair pulled out. After some querying, I discover that Melody Caldwell is jealous of Lila's achievements and has been waiting for an opportunity to strike. When I demand an apology, Vanessa Morrison flies into a rage. "You're lowly trash without a proper family! My daughter teaching her a lesson is the greatest honor you can obtain in this life! "Expel her immediately! My husband works in the Education Bureau! Beg for mercy, or she can forget about taking the college entrance exam!" That arrogant woman is convinced that Lila and I will beg for forgiveness after being expelled. Unfortunately, she has chosen to mess with the wrong person. Lila's grandfather is a nuclear weapons expert. Her true origins have been concealed for her safety since her whole family works for classified operations. I immediately call the Intelligence Agency. "Mr. Keats' granddaughter was bullied severely at school. Send someone here to deal with this now!"

En mi vida pasada, mi hermana Marina y yo dimos con dos huevos misteriosos y los pusimos a salvo. Del suyo nació una serpiente de hielo, y del mío un fénix envuelto en llamas. Marina me arrebató el fénix que yo había criado con tanto cariño, pero nunca pensó que acabaríamos viviendo un apocalipsis de calor extremo. Ella se murió asfixiada por el calor y, en su último aliento, logró persuadir a Iván, mi esposo —la serpiente de hielo— para que me estrangulara. Pero nadie imaginó que volveríamos al mismo día en que esos dos huevos empezaban a romperse. Esta vez, Marina se quedó con Iván. Creía que, con él a su lado, podría salir adelante sin problema en ese infierno de calor, confiando en su poder helado. Pero lo que no sabía era que, para mantener su fuerza, esa serpiente necesitaba alimentarse de sangre fresca todos los días.

« Vas-tu mourir pour eux ? » La voix du Roi Alpha était assez froide pour faire taire la salle. Et Althea a entendu la réponse bien avant qu'elle ne la prononce... non pas d'elle-même, mais des esprits qui hurlaient autour d'elle. « Tu n'as qu'à te sacrifier. » « Tu n'es rien. » « Tu devrais mourir pour nous. » Son don ou sa malédiction lui permettait d'entendre et de lire chaque pensée haineuse, chaque appel désespéré. Et malgré cela, elle continuait à s'avancer. Elle choisissait de protéger les faibles, les innocents, ceux qui lui avaient témoigné de la gentillesse... même si le prix à payer était sa vie. Mais Gavriel Kingsley, le Roi Alpha, ne l'a pas tuée. Il voulait autre chose. La possession. « Tu es à moi maintenant. » Sa voix dépassant à peine un murmure. « En tant qu'esclave ? » Le roi a gloussé, son regard aussi sombre que le minuit. « En tant que reproductrice. »
