kabanata 14 el filibusterismo

El padre de Regina Morales le fue infiel a su esposa. Hundida en la depresión, su madre se quitó la vida. La amante, junto con sus dos hijos, no tardó en ocupar su lugar en la casa. Desamparada, Regina fue acogida por la mejor amiga de su madre y creció bajo el mismo techo que Maximiliano Valderrama. Amigos desde la infancia, su cariño parecía destinado a convertirse en amor. Pero el destino le tenía preparada una cruel sorpresa: el día de su vigésimo segundo cumpleaños, Maximiliano, el hombre con quien creía que se casaría, anunció públicamente su relación... abrazando a la que consideraba su mejor amiga. Para Regina, solo quedó la humillación de convertirse en prácticamente una hermana, y en el hazmerreír de todos. Descubrió que, para Maximiliano, nunca fue más que una carga, una presencia pegajosa e indeseada. Él y su círculo de amigos siempre la habían menospreciado. Todos le aconsejaban ser razonable, y no agotar la poca consideración que aún le tenían. Su supuesta amiga, con fingida servidumbre, incluso se ofrecía a presentarle otros hombres. Harta del maltrato, Regina decidió poner la mira en el inalcanzable Gabriel Solís. Precisamente el hombre que su examiga anhelaba en vano. Gabriel no solo era una eminencia como jefe de cirugía cardíaca, sino también el heredero de la familia más influyente de la Ciudad de México, los Solís. Además, resultaba ser otro conocido de la infancia de Regina y, para complicar más las cosas, el objeto del deseo de su propia hermanastra. Gabriel Solís detestaba la actitud caprichosa y altanera de Regina, su aparente falta de amor propio y su evidente actitud manipuladora. Sin embargo, la joven poseía una belleza radiante y una atracción innegable que lo cautivaba. En un momento, él dejó de ser sólo un caballero. La atracción física fue la carnada; entró en su juego y quedó atrapado, hundiéndose cada vez más. Al final, su único destino sería rendirse por completo a ella.

There's a ten-car collision on the highway, and I'm trapped in one of ten. For some reason, none of the ambulances can get to us. I desperately call my boyfriend to ask for help. I expect him to immediately come to my rescue, but he merely snaps at me. "Yvette didn't even make a sound when she sliced her finger. Couldn't you have just dodged when the accident happened? You're not crippled or anything! Stop being so childish at your age!" He doesn't want me to disturb him anymore, so he blocks my number. Fortunately, a kind soul saves me and takes me to the hospital. I survive the ordeal. When I leave the hospital, I see a breaking news report on the screen in the lobby. "Love exists in the world! Mr. Fenton spends a fortune to gather the city's ambulances to save his true love when she slices her finger!" The news report makes my heart ache. I pull out the ring I was going to use for my proposal and throw it away without hesitation. Henry Fenton and I have been together for 14 years, but I don't want the relationship anymore.

Mi nombre es Arabella. Vendí 20 años de mi vida para convertirme en la asistente de un vampiro después de la muerte de mi padre para ayudar a mi familia. Debería haber tenido miedo de la sangre y los colmillos, pero en cambio, anhelo los toques de mi maestro. Lo que no sabía era que mi deseo por él solo me traería destrucción. *** "Sabes deliciosa." Él lame sus labios, acercándome más a él. El calor de su piel contra la mía y el ritmo calmante de su corazón latiendo me calman un poco. Relajo mis hombros y yago allí con mi cabeza en su pecho. "Ara, soy tu maestro y es mi responsabilidad mantenerte segura, pero hoy fallé." Sus palabras suenan sinceras, y realmente desearía poder creerle. Pero todos los vampiros son monstruos. Él solo resulta ser el monstruo en el que desearía poder confiar. «Mi amo vampiro: Un contrato de sangre y lujuria» es una creación de Angeline Hartwood, una autora de eGlobal Creative Publishing.
