Vox Dei Meaning

Kill or be killed: That was the motto of a predator and a prey. Turns out that was the same motto in love and relationships. Walking in on my fiancee making out with someone else was the last straw it took for me to break but to save myself the humiliation, I couldn't let the huge proposal I had planned out go to waste. What happens when the stranger I had forced a ring on turned out to be the Capobastone of the Ndrangheta Clan? Even worse, my ex boyfriend was involved in the mafia and the stranger was his boss. Fate twisted and lies were uncovered and I was caught up in a little cat and rat chase with a Mafia boss and there was no hope for me getting out. His words sealed my fate: "Now i didn't force this ring on myself, you did. Might as well add more meaning to it.”

His iron grip was fastened around my waist and he pinned me on to the wall. "Let go of me!" I gritted. "If I want to right now" he leaned in close, his lips grazing my earlobe. "I can forcefully have my way with you and watch you scream your beautiful melodious tone underneath me" he whispered gravelly. I gasped and tried getting his hands of my waist. "You are my wife after all aren't you?" He teased, his teeth gently nibbling on my skin. I felt a strange heat brewing up inside me and I fought to control it. "Dante let go of me!" I seethed. Slowly, his head ascended from my neck and faced me. He ran a finger along my lips and a devilish smile curled up on his face. * * * * * * Love. Crime. Passion. Strong female lead Alina Fedorov, the vibrant and daring daughter to the Don of the Russian mafia is forcefully put into marriage against her wishes by her father.

Running his underworld without a heart, he is quick to do away with any one who goes against his orders and his years of training has him equipped for a dangerous life of crime. But none of that will matter when he meets the impulsive and independent Alina Federov. Can love ever blossom between the two especially as Dante craves revenge on Alina for the sins of her father? Or will Alina be able to break down his walls of coldness and have him on his knees for her?

No círculo da alta sociedade de Porto Real, todos sabem que o herdeiro da sempre implacável família Santos abriu mão da própria linhagem e até da própria vida por uma mulher. Mais tarde, ele acabou se casando com a mulher que ocupava o centro do seu coração, e a bela história dos dois passou a ser contada entre a alta sociedade. Aquela mulher sou eu. Eu sempre acreditei que seríamos felizes para sempre, até que, certo dia, recebi um vídeo no celular. Na tela, um homem e uma mulher estavam entrelaçados. A respiração contida de Felipe Santos soava pesada pelo alto-falante: — Meu amor, você é tão cheirosa. A mulher fingia resistir enquanto soltava gemidos suaves e provocantes. De imediato, desliguei a tela. No reflexo escuro do celular, vi meu rosto coberto de lágrimas. Felipe e eu estávamos juntos desde a época da faculdade até o altar. Ao longo de quinze anos, permanecemos apaixonados como no início e nos tornamos o casal modelo aos olhos de todos. Mas só eu sabia que o coração de Felipe já havia mudado. Ele tinha se apaixonado pela assistente que eu mesma escolhi para ele. Só que eu não tolero traição. Por isso, no dia do aniversário dele, o presente que lhe dei foi um adeus definitivo.

“…Should anyone here know of any reason that this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, speak now or forever hold your peace." "I do!" A sharp voice bombed the church. Frowning, I turned my head toward the owner of the voice who dared to object to My wedding. And there He stood. My vicious rival. The man I hate the most. The Pakhan of Bratva! Aleksandr Fedorov. "On what ground do you object?" The priest demanded. My face was turning red in anger while He smirked with his eyes set on mine. "Because this bride is already married to me.” I blinked up at him.

But when tragedy steals her unborn child before it ever draws its first breath, the fragile world she clung to collapses completely.

Na minha vida passada, no dia em que minha irmã Fernanda e eu participamos da cerimônia de escolha do Pacto das Bruxas, eu salvei um príncipe Kindred em perigo. Para retribuir minha bondade, assim que o príncipe retornou ao seu clã, ele imediatamente anunciou que eu seria sua futura noiva. Um ano depois, dei à luz um herdeiro de sangue puro, o único sucessor de toda a linhagem Kindred. O príncipe ficou exultante. No dia de sua coroação como Rei, ele completou o Pacto de Sangue comigo, tornando-me sua eterna companheira e rainha. A partir daquele momento, passei a ser reverenciada por todas as raças. Enquanto isso, minha irmã Fernanda escolheu se casar com um poderoso líder lobisomem, apenas para se tornar a mais insignificante de suas muitas amantes. A inveja a consumia até a loucura. Durante um festival da lua cheia das Bruxas, ela me empurrou de um penhasco, causando minha morte. Quando abri os olhos novamente, vi Fernanda correndo em direção ao local onde o príncipe Kindred estava em perigo, no dia da cerimônia de escolha. Eu soube, naquele instante, que ela também havia renascido. Mas ela não sabia que, embora fosse fácil se tornar a noiva do príncipe, conquistar seu coração e dar-lhe um filho era uma tarefa quase impossível.

Na véspera do meu casamento, sofri um grave acidente de carro e entrei em coma. Enquanto eu lutava pela vida, meu noivo não hesitou: anulou o casamento e se casou com a amiga de infância dele, Letícia. Minha mãe, inconformada, tentou buscar justiça, mas morreu tragicamente no caminho. No pior momento da minha vida, meu amigo de infância, Alexandre, ajoelhou-se na porta do hospital com um dote de um milhão e cuidou do funeral da minha mãe. Fui levada para a cirurgia, sobrevivi… mas fiquei com sequelas permanentes. E ainda assim, Alexandre me prometeu uma vida inteira ao lado dele. Comovida, aceitei me casar. Cinco anos depois, ouço sem querer uma conversa entre ele e a secretária: — Sr. Alexandre, o senhor não teme que a Sra. Selene descubra que foi o senhor quem mandou atropelá-la, só pra que Letícia pudesse se casar com o amor da vida dela? — Por Letícia, eu faria tudo. Já dei minha vida inteira pra Selene Duarte. Não chega? Tapei a boca, segurando o choro. Foi naquele instante que entendi que meu casamento sempre foi uma mentira. Se era só uma substituição, então que fique com o lugar que sempre foi dela. Eu vou embora.

Depois de renascer, decidi que não iria mais me apegar obsessivamente a Wagner Rocha. No aniversário dele, ele colocou uma placa dizendo: [Cachorros e Juliana Campos não entram]. Dei meia-volta imediatamente e fui para São Cristóvão, ficando bem longe dele. Ele disse que sentia enjoo ao sentir meu cheiro em casa, então obedeci e me mudei sem questionar. Disse também que, após a formatura, não queria nem respirar o mesmo ar que eu na cidade, então parti rapidamente e nunca mais voltei. Por fim, afirmou que a minha presença poderia fazer Clarinda Prado entender as coisas de forma errada. Eu apenas assenti, e logo comecei a sair com outra pessoa. Fui repetidamente fazendo escolhas opostas às que fiz na minha vida passada. Tudo porque, na vida anterior, depois de finalmente me casar com Wagner, Clarinda se jogou de um penhasco e tirou a própria vida. Ele me chamou de assassina, me torturou, me maltratou e, no fim, me deixou morrer no fundo do mar. Desta vez, só quero viver bem. Depois, quando segurei a mão do meu novo namorado, Wagner ficou parado no meio do caminho, os olhos injetados de sangue. — Juliana Campos, se você vier comigo agora, eu perdoo a brincadeira que você fez.
