Larissa Moretti viveu um namoro de cinco anos. Intenso o bastante para virar notícia em Aurimare. No dia de assinar os papéis do casamento, ele simplesmente... não apareceu. Ali, a paciência dela morreu. Larissa terminou. O noivo virou ex. E ela jurou: não voltaria atrás. Nunca. Só que a engrenagem do destino não parou. Um telefonema mudou tudo. Por puro orgulho, Larissa se casou com Arthur Vasconcelos, o homem frio com quem mal falava, e o irmão mais velho do seu ex. Arthur era o homem mais cobiçado de Aurimare. Brilhante, intocável. Foi ele quem levantou um império financeiro que atravessava fronteiras. Um magnata que o mercado respeitava. E, quando o nome Vasconcelos era citado, até gente poderosa baixava a voz. Depois do casamento, porém, Arthur só tinha uma regra: Larissa. Ele a tratava como raridade. Protegia, cedia, colocava o mundo em ordem com a mesma naturalidade com que tirava um fio de cabelo do rosto dela. Até o dia em que o ex a humilhou, chamando-a de inútil, como se ela não valesse nada. Arthur nem discutiu. Um soco seco. O irmão dele no chão. Ele se inclinou um pouco, a voz baixa: — Minha esposa é o meu tudo. Não existe joia neste mundo, por mais rara e brilhante, que chegue perto da luz dela. Tudo o que for dela, eu apoio. Insulte-a de novo e você está fora da família Vasconcelos. Para sempre. Só muito tempo depois Larissa entenderia. O homem que ela sempre temeu a amava havia dez anos. E aquele "casamento por impulso"? Foi um plano paciente. Um laço doce armado para ela cair... e nunca mais querer sair.

Ivone Marques foi como tantas mulheres que só despertavam depois de serem esmagadas pelo amor: ela tentou, com todas as forças, fazer um homem como Fabiano Moraes se apaixonar por ela. Mas, depois de três anos de casamento, os dois viviam como completos estranhos. Quando Ivone ficou entre a vida e a morte, vítima de uma armadilha cruel, Fabiano, em vez de estar ao lado da esposa, acompanhava a antiga paixão da vida dele.

Só que ela não imaginava que aquele sujeito, acostumado a mandar em tudo e em todos, não ia aceitar ser descartado tão fácil. Ele passou a rondar a vida dela como um fantasma insistente, se aproximando passo a passo, afastando qualquer outro homem que tentasse chegar perto e fechando todas as rotas de fuga dela. — Lá atrás, foi você que fez questão de se casar comigo. Enquanto eu não disser que a gente se divorciou, você não vai sair da minha vida nunca! — Declarou ele, certo de que ainda mandava nas regras do jogo. Ivone o encarou com frieza e respondeu: — Sinto muito. Sr. Fabiano, você já foi chutado pra fora do jogo por mim faz tempo. Quem decide o divórcio sou eu. Se eu digo que acabou, acabou.

Há apenas alguns dias, ele havia gasto cem milhões de moedas de ouro para me comprar a "Mansão do Luar", enchendo-a com minhas flores da lua favoritas. Inúmeras lobas sonhavam em ser marcadas por um Alfa tão apaixonado e poderoso. Mas eu não hesitei. Após remover a marca, imprimi um Acordo de Rescisão de Vínculo de Companheiros e reservei um voo para uma alcateia europeia para uma semana depois. Adeus, Ethan.

Synopsis Katherine McQueen's world shattered when her father borrowed from Massimo Hollingsworth, a ruthless New York billionaire who commands the fearsome Hollingsworth dynasty. When Massimo arrived to collect his due, a tragic accident left him in a coma. Desperate and cornered, Katherine was forced into a marriage she never wanted. His powerful relatives plotted his death, certain he wouldn’t survive, eager to erase her as well by throwing her out once she becomes a widow. But Massimo did survive. When he awakened, the ice in his gaze was nothing compared to the fury in his heart. He recognized Katherine as the daughter of the man who orchestrated his accident. Hatred replaced reason. Cruelty became his weapon. “I heard you might be pregnant with my child already? Abort it. I don’t want a child from your wretched bloodline.” Devastated, Katherine fled, building a new life far from his shadow. But seven years later, fate played its cruel hand again. At a bustling amusement park, her brilliant young son, a boy who looked like a miniature Massimo, pointed to a man on stage. “Mom, why does that man look so much like me?” “Because he’s your uncle. But remember, never cross his path. He’s dangerous… he even threatened me while I carried you.” Yet her son was no fool. Taking matters into his own hands, he wrote a letter to Massimo. "You are my dad, but you terrified my mother while she was pregnant with me. What kind of father does that make you? I hate that I look so much like you. But guess what? I’ve come to stay and suffocate you.”
