Modern Maria Clara

My husband is the Don of the entire New York East Coast Mafia. For ten years, I dimmed my own light to be his perfect silent partner, the dutiful wife who gave him the perfect heir. I thought we were the lovers who wou ld die for each other. Then came a mere associat. My husband and son had formed an alliance with the woman who seem want to take my place. But they just said, "Elena, you have the crown and the kingdom. She has nothing but us. Be generous." So, to make her smile, my husband trampled on my dignity again and again. To please her, my son affectionately calls her "Mom." In their eyes, I was the iron wall, the woman who would swallow any insult for the sake of the family honor. Until the fire. My husband locked me inside the burning room, to let me "reflect" on my jealousy. He didn't know that the fire didn't kill me. But it burned away the last ash of my love for him.

Luna Mayer hatte Julian Becker, ihrem Chef und Retter, einst ihr Herz geschenkt und alles in einem leidenschaftlichen Wirbelsturm riskiert. Für ihn jedoch war sie nicht mehr als ein zuverlässiges Rädchen in seiner Unternehmensmaschinerie. Damit war es vorbei. Julian konnte Lunas kühle Rationalität, ihre Logik und ihre Unabhängigkeit nicht ertragen. Doch schließlich fand er die Wärme und Anbetung, nach der er sich sehnte, in ihren Augen. Ihre Augen jedoch blickten anderswo. In dieser Geschichte ist weder der Held noch die Heldin perfekt. Dies ist keine typische Erfolgsgeschichte einer weiblichen Hauptfigur. Julian ist ein Arrogantling, doch er wandelt sich später zu einem Mann, der alles für die Liebe tun würde. Dies ist die Geschichte eines Tsundere-Manns – und es dauert viele Kapitel, bis sich die beiden versöhnen.

Sie war die Unschuldige, aber er warf sie aus ihrem Zuhause und ihrem Leben wie eine gewöhnliche Kriminelle. Sie weinte und rappelte sich auf, verließ ihn für immer. „Leb wohl, der Mann, den ich einst liebte. Ich bete, dass wir uns nie wiedersehen.“ .... Sechs Jahre später hat sie einen Zwillingsjungen und ein Mädchen und hat sich als Executive President von S Corps hochgearbeitet, das Jonathan Salvador gehört.

Als ein Partnerschaftsjob sie dazu führt, mit Viktor und seiner Familie wieder zusammenzukommen, enthüllen sich Geheimnisse und Intrigen, und die Wahrheit beginnt ans Licht zu kommen. Was wird passieren, wenn Viktor erkennt, dass sie unschuldig war gegen all seine Anschuldigungen und alles bereut? Wird sie ihn zurücknehmen oder wird sie bei Jon bleiben?

I stretched lazily on the bed, much like a contented kitten, before opening my eyes. Hovering above me was a face that could have been sculpted by the gods—a handsome, well-defined face with sun-kissed golden eyes. My first groggy thought was that Cara had finally brought home a decent, well-groomed man for a change. But…. Why is he in my room? I abruptly shoved him away, ending the spell. "Get off your asshole!" With a scowl on my face, I got up quickly. “Was personal space not mentioned by Clara, huh?” I spoke in an irritated tone. “Clara?” He turned and casually picked up some papers from a nearby table, settling down with an annoying smile. “And who might that be, if I may ask?” He doesn’t even remember her? Asshole “Well, if you must know, Clara—” I started, but my words faltered as something shiny caught my eye. What is..? Then my memories began to flood back. —it’s a damn golden sofa. Shit. Brain Freeze. ~~~ Growing up as the oldest kid on a Chicago farm was no picnic for Mary Johnson.

A chance in the US came knocking, and Mary didn't hesitate.

Shotgun marriage usually happens when there is an unintended pregnancy resulting in marriage in a hurry or enforced but... not in my case. "Desmond Cro'esnt, do you take this woman to be your wife, to live together in matrimony, to love her, to honor her, to comfort her, and to keep her in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?" I looked straight into Desmond's eyes. They are raven black and it does match his long, wavy black hair. "I do," he answered as he smiled innocently at me. Making himself look promising. Then, the priest turned to me. "Neiva Ariella Hillstone, do you take this man to be your husband, to live together in matrimony, to love him, to honor him, to comfort him, and to keep him in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, for as long as you both shall live?" I still can't believe that I'm going to marry this man. He looks happy, waiting for my answer. His white suit is making him look even kinder. The only witness we have here is the priest and his men in black suits, currently pointing a gun right into my head. "Time is running, Neiva. It's either you marry me or you die." His innocent smile turned into a devilish one. This suits him more because this is the real him. And that answered your question. My shotgun marriage happened to be the literal meaning of it. I closed my eyes and deeply breathed before answering, "I do." "You're mine now." He pulled me by my waist and pressed his lips against mine. I am now officially the wife of this Psychopath Billionaire Mafia Boss.
