Sinopsis Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck

Ich wurde als Verlobte von Lorenzo, dem Erben der Mafia, auserwählt. Doch auf einer Familien-Gala wurde Lorenzo offen von Chiara, der Tochter eines Waffenhändlers, umworben. Chiara war anders als die übrigen regelkonformen Debütantinnen. Sie jagte in einem modifizierten Sportwagen durch die Straßen, schnitt ihre Zigarren mit einem militärischen Kampfmesser auf und trank den stärksten Whiskey pur. In ihr loderten Wildheit und Ungezähmtheit – ein Feuer, von dem Lorenzo den Blick nicht lösen konnte. Er beschwerte sich bei den Familienältesten: „Wie kann so eine Frau jemals unsere Madre werden und die gesamte Familie führen?“ Seine Worte trieften vor Verachtung gegenüber ihrer Rücksichtslosigkeit, doch seine Augen hingen an ihr, verfolgten jede ihrer Bewegungen, als sie ihr Glas hob. An Lorenzos Geburtstag verkündete er schließlich seine Absicht, Chiara zu seiner Geliebten zu machen. Chiara lehnte ab. „Die Frauen meiner Familie sind Ehefrauen, niemals Geliebte. Und das Herz meines Mannes gehört einzig mir.“ Lorenzo wandte sich an mich, seine Stimme zögerlich. „Alessia, es ist nur ein Titel. Ich brauche dich, um ihn Chiara zu überlassen. Bitte? Sie versteht unsere Traditionen nicht und macht ein Drama daraus, mich zu heiraten. Wir müssen sie nur vorerst beruhigen. Selbst wenn sie mich heiratet, wirst du weiterhin diejenige sein, die die Geschäfte der Familie führt.“ Als ich in meinem Brautkleid vor dem Spiegel stand, bohrte sich ein scharfer Kristall am Mieder in meinen Finger. Ein einziger Tropfen Blut blühte auf dem makellosen weißen Satin. Das Kleid war ruiniert, aber die Hochzeit würde stattfinden. Wenn ich nicht die Frau des Erben sein konnte, würde ich die Frau des Dons werden.

Après avoir été poussée dans les escaliers par la première amour de mon mari, j'ai fait une fausse couche lors de ma seconde grossesse et je suis morte dans un coin d'escalier de l'hôpital privé du Groupe Thomas. Avant de mourir, mon fils de six ans a supplié son père en larmes de me sauver. La première fois, Andrew a seulement ricané : « Ta mère est devenue maligne, elle utilise son enfant pour faire semblant d'être pitoyable et tromper les autres. » Après ces mots, il a repoussé la main de notre fils et il est parti sans aucune pitié. La deuxième fois, notre fils a dit que je saignais sans arrêt. Andrew, avec un air agacé, a répondu : « Quelle exagération ! Ce n'est qu'une fausse couche, rien de grave. Elle est toujours aussi dramatique ! » Après avoir chassé son fils, il a même ordonné aux médecins de ne laisser personne s'occuper de moi. « C'est de ma faute si je l'ai trop gâtée. Tant qu'elle ne souffre pas un peu, elle ne comprendra pas ses erreurs. » La dernière fois, notre fils s'est agenouillé devant la première amour de son père en la suppliant avec désespoir. Andrew est entré dans une rage folle et a ordonné à ses gardes du corps de jeter notre fils blessé hors de la chambre, en le laissant aux moqueries des autres. « Si tu oses encore déranger le repos d'Émilie, je ferai immédiatement expulser ta mère de la famille des Thomas. Elle ne te reverra plus jamais ! » Mon fils a rampé de toutes ses forces jusqu'à moi, traînant une longue traînée de sang derrière lui. Andrew, cette fois, tu as obtenu ce que tu voulais. Nos corps à mon fils et à moi sont devenus froids, et jamais plus nous ne te reverrons.

Ciara thought her relationship with Austin, her boyfriend of six years, had always been solid and full of love. But on the night before their wedding, she caught him and her young stepmother doing something unspeakable. The shock of the moment shattered her heart, yet she didn’t confront them. Rather, she found herself making out with Rowan, the older brother and sworn rival of Austin. The next day, she went through the ceremony confidently, only to humiliate her cheating fiancé by not saying ‘I do’ before leaving him at the altar. As a result, Ciara’s father got enraged and even dismissed her claim of her stepmother’s affair without a second thought. As if that wasn’t enough, she got kicked out of the company. With nowhere left to turn, she sought out Rowan and accepted his offer of an alliance, fueled by a desperate need for revenge against everyone who wronged her. Ciara knew exactly how dangerous Rowan could be. She was well aware of his obsession, his psychopathic behavior, and the risks that came with trusting a man like him. Still, vengeance was all she had left to her name. And if it meant making a deal with the devil and surrendering herself to his darkness, then she would do it, no matter the cost.

Arranged to marry the king of hell, Lycan Mikhail Lenovo, in exchange for her older brother's freedom.

Those were the questions that stood as a force to reckon with for Rosanne when she was forced to get married to the most feared Lycan King of the Dark Moon pack. All hope of becoming an Alpha, a position she had trained for all her life, taken from her grasp and she had to accept her fate as a breeder.

My name is Susan, and I'm the daughter of the Dark Moon Pack's Alpha. Per tradition, I was betrothed to Daniel, the crown prince of South Dania and the future Alpha King, to become his Luna Queen. However, he had been postponing our Marking Ceremony repeatedly, using the excuse that he wanted his coronation first. I thought he was simply being prudent, until I witnessed him proposing to another she-wolf, telling her that she was the one he truly wanted. He was even laughing about the engagement, calling it a necessary tool. Understanding that, I realized that he never formed the mate bond with me because he needed the freedom for adultery and not suffer the pain of backlash in treachery. He wouldn't acknowledge my status, but insisted that I fulfill my spousal obligations nonetheless. He didn't Mark me, while keeping me tangled in his web of lies. I hence decided to disappear in three days under the new moon, when everyone would be waiting to witness our Marking. I wanted to show him that not every wolf was willing to be a tool.
