Yara Greyjoy

Im sechsten Jahr meiner Beziehung mit Kai Krause sagte ich zu ihm: „Kai, ich werde heiraten.“ Er zuckte erschrocken zusammen, riss sich aus seinen Gedanken und wirkte verlegen. „Yara, du weißt doch... Die Firma steht kurz vor einer entscheidenden Finanzierungsrunde, ich habe im Moment einfach keinen Kopf für...“ „Macht nichts“, sagte ich mit einem gleichgültigen Lächeln. Doch er hatte mich falsch verstanden. Ich werde heiraten – aber nicht ihn.

Si Yara Valerina ay isang college working student na mayroong simpleng buhay kasama ang kaniyang ina. Ngunit ang lahat ay magbabago dahil sa pagdating ng isang lalaki na gugulo sa maayos niyang buhay na walang iba kundi si Hunther San Diego ang isa sa kinatatakutan at kilalang business man na kalaunan ay kaniyang mapapangasawa. Hindi dahil ito ay mahal niya kung kaya siya ay pumayag na magpakasal ngunit dahil ito ang kailangan niya. Contract marriage is a trap of love, it's a trap and now I fall deeper in love with her. — Hunther San Diego

Yara Valença testemunhou com os próprios olhos a traição mais baixa do próprio marido. Hugo Ferraz tinha engravidado a esposa do próprio irmão e ainda dizia, cheio de razão: — Você não pode ter filhos. A Família Ferraz não pode ficar sem herdeiros. Que ironia. O homem que, no passado, tinha se ajoelhado nove vezes para pedi-la em casamento e jurado que preferia fazer uma vasectomia a ter filhos também era ele. Já que o amor tinha virado piada, não havia mais por que preservar a dignidade. Naquela mesma noite, ela ligou para o número para o qual ninguém ousava ligar e se casou com o homem mais poderoso da Cidade N. Quando se reencontraram, foi no casamento dela. Hugo finalmente ficou com os olhos vermelhos, ajoelhou-se diante dela. — Amor, eu errei. Por favor, olha pra mim de novo, só mais uma vez... Yara deu um passo para trás e caiu, exatamente, nos braços do homem atrás dela. Aquele que todos diziam ser sombrio e implacável, que controlava metade da cidade, o "Senhor do Inferno", Victor Ferraz, apertou a cintura dela. A voz saiu fria como uma lâmina: — Parece que você esqueceu a sua posição. — Agora, ela é sua cunhada.

“You should hate me,” He said softly, his cold gaze searching her warm eyes. She just looked up at him, a tired smile on her face. “I'm done. I don't have the strength to hate anyone anymore.” “Then you'll learn,” He murmured. “I'm not the kind of man you survive loving.” ****** Yara is born without a wolfㅡ an outcast to her own pack. Betrayed by her own family, she is banished and falls into the arms of the one man she's never supposed to meet. The lycan king. The one who everyone fears. She's his second chance. He's her last. But fate has a cruel way of playing and the stakes begin to get higher. Will they prevail? Or will the truth tear them apart before they can?

“Calder wanted to divorce. But I got him to agree to something crazy first.” My friend Lena's brows lift. “What is it?” “One last month,” I say. “I am going to really have him… as his real wife.” Her eyes widen and she grins. “He agreed to be your husband… in every way?” Three years ago, my husband Calder was supposed to marry my sister. On the wedding week, she vanished. So, I became the replacement bride. But Calder never saw me as a woman, just Yara’s little sister. We live like roommates while I pine for him. “Mia, you do know what you’re doing? Yes? I’m worried you’re going to get hurt,” Lena says plainly. “I’m not a child anymore, this is my choice.” She searches my face. “And after the month?” “I’ll move forward,” I say. “With or without him.”

When the Lycan King was attacked by rogues, my mate—the Gamma warrior and Head of the Royal Guards—was busy comforting his sulking first love. Instead of setting off the silver distress flare in my hand, I used my heavily pregnant body as a meat shield to protect the King. Because in my past life, I fired that flare. Rowan came, saved the King, but abandoned his first love, leading to her death. Rowan was hailed as a hero. But on the very day I gave birth, he tossed me into the Feral Pit. When I asked him why in absolute agony, he just glared at me coldly. "The King had plenty of guards! You fired that flare because you're a greedy bitch who only cares about wealth and power!" "If you hadn't set off that flare, Yara wouldn't have died! I will make you suffer a hundred times what she went through!" In the end, feral beasts tore me apart. They even devoured the pup right out of my womb. Then, I opened my eyes. I was back on the day of the rogue attack.

Three days into the silent treatment, Derrick—my fiancé and CEO—greenlit his assistant's pitch for a self-driving road trip. He expected me to flip, like always. I didn't. A month later, he came back and saw it—I wasn't the same. He backed Molly, stole my project, and thought I'd explode. I didn't. I just helped her draft the proposal. He trashed everything I built, just so she could snag her year-end bonus. I didn't fight back. Took the blame, took the hit. Molly was all smug. "See? Told you. You can't go at Yara head-on. Give her the silent treatment—she folds. She's scared of losing you. That's why she's playing nice." Derrick ate it up. Called her smart. Then he pulled me aside—offered a raise, a promotion, even a fancy wedding. First time he'd ever brought it up. But he missed one detail: he'd already signed off on my resignation while he was off playing road trip king. And I'd already dumped him. That was it. Clean cut. Nothing left.

My younger sister, Lila James, had a heart attack. The doctors tried their best, but she died. On the day we buried her, the men she had been involved with showed up. One was an unhinged lawyer, and another one was a powerful heir from Jovaris. Yet another one was a messed-up top celebrity. When they heard that Lila was dead, they lost it. They tried to dig her out and torture her. I blocked their way and begged them, “She’s gone! If you need someone to blame, take it out on me!” That was the moment I became Lila’s stand-in. They tortured me in every way they could think of. They beat me until my skin tore open and forced me to film humiliating videos. I somehow escaped and tried to bring them to justice. The unhinged lawyer threatened to ruin my life! The powerful heir used his influence to shut every door in my face. The messed-up top celebrity leaked the videos and claimed I had seduced him. I became the center of a national scandal, and my reputation was irreparably damaged. My parents even published a statement and cut all ties with me. I went home to confront them. When I reached outside their door, I heard Lila’s voice. She sounded immensely pleased. “Mom, Dad, your plan to fake my death saved me! I can finally get away from those lunatics. “Good thing we had Yara! Otherwise, I would’ve been the one in all these scandals.” I broke down. I rushed into the house. I was ready to drag Lila to hell with me, but my parents killed me first. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Lila had her heart attack.
