Forced Marriage

She dreamed of a fairy tale. He turned that dream into a ruthless contract. Olivia Bailey was an executive at her father’s engineering company. Romantic and devoted, she had always dreamed of building a family, and believed she had found that future beside her boyfriend. On the night she decided to give herself to him, she was drugged by her own boyfriend who planned to “sell” her virginity to his boss in exchange for a promotion. But a mix-up of hotel suites changed everything. Olivia ended up in the arms of a cold, womanizing CEO who didn't believe in love or happily-ever-afters. From that forbidden night, an unexpected pregnancy was born. Desperate to save her brother from ruthless loan sharks and protect her father with heart disease, Olivia used the card left behind that night to pay the debt… and ended up in the hands of Liam Holt. He needed to marry and produce a legitimate heir to inherit his grandfather’s fortune and keep his empire. She had no way out. Under pressure, she agreed to a one-year contract marriage, pretending to be the perfect wife of a billionaire. Between hatred, desire, and secrets, Olivia discovered that pretending forever was impossible… and that this contract could be her prison, or the path to a once-in-a-lifetime love.

Astrid waited for Joshua all night as she usually did... And the first thing she received, instead of a cold greeting, was the divorce papers. “Why?” were her only words when she saw the agreement. Joshua looked at her indifferently. “It's enough. It's a waste of time to continue this marriage. In the first place, if it weren't for my grandfather, I wouldn't have married you... Sign it!” he shouted. Astrid, her eyes filled with tears, hurriedly took the divorce agreement and put it in her mouth. “I don't want a divorce!” Astrid cried. Joshua didn't respond, he just looked at her and walked away. After all, it was difficult to get into the heart of someone like Joshua. She stood firm in her decision. She had married to take care of her mother's health... Until she lost her too, leaving her with nothing left to hold on to. “He doesn't feel anything for me,” she said, wiping her teary eyes. “In the future, I will never appear in front of him again.” She took her luggage and, accompanied by a heavy snowfall, disappeared along with her footprints in the snow. She left behind only her signature on the divorce agreement. With a trembling body, she escaped. Five years later, a little boy reminded her of the person she tried to forget.

Nathalia Sapatin construiu uma vida sólida nos Estados Unidos. Arquiteta renomada, independente e racional, ela sempre soube exatamente onde pisava — até o dia em que um acidente a trouxe de volta ao Brasil, grávida e emocionalmente vulnerável. No Capão Redondo, o destino coloca em seu caminho Andressa, conhecida como Dressinha — a mulher mais temida e respeitada do morro. Líder desde muito jovem, Andressa aprendeu que poder é sobrevivência e que sentimentos são fraquezas que não se pode permitir. O que começa como apoio inesperado transforma-se em uma amizade intensa. Nathalia, que nunca se envolveu com outra mulher, passa a sentir algo que não consegue nomear. Andressa, acostumada a controlar tudo ao seu redor, percebe que está perdendo o controle justamente onde mais dói: no coração. Mas o passado cobra seu preço. Breno, pai da criança e homem obcecado por controle, está disposto a tudo para afastar Nathalia de Andressa. Quando um segredo devastador vem à tona — revelando que Andressa já foi paga para matar Nathalia no passado — o amor recém-descoberto se rompe sob o peso da traição. Separadas pela dor e pela culpa, Andressa decide enfrentar o próprio passado e provar que pode ser mais do que a mulher que o mundo aprendeu a temer. Entre perdão, redenção e escolhas difíceis, Aqueles Olhos é uma história sobre amor inesperado, maternidade e a coragem de mudar — mesmo quando o preço é alto demais.

A loud moan escaped my throat as Alessandro slams me against the wall, his hard body pinning me tightly. “Keep fighting, baby,” he growls in a low voice, while sliding his hand under my dress. His Fingers find me soaked, plunging them deep and curling until my hips buck and I cry out. “Your body already knows you’re mine.” “Say it, mia cara. Say you’re mine.” Elara Voss is her family’s dirty little secret, the hidden daughter their dad loved in silence, while her sisters burned her with hate. To bury the shame and seal a massive deal, they force her to marry Alessandro Russo, Vegas’s deadliest mafia don. Her sisters were promised to perfect men. While She got handed over to a monster. But he didn’t just take, he became addicted to her. She became the only one who could calm the rage in him. Only she drives him wild, fantasizing about her mouth on him, swallowing every drop as she trembles and begs drives it to the edge. After he learns how cruelly she was treated by her family, the cold rejections and all of the hidden pain, his obsession turns lethal. “I own you,” he said in a raspy voice one night, his fist in my hair, yanking my head back to meet his burning eyes. “Every breath and every cry, if anyone should as much think of Hurting you again, I’ll make you watch while I tear them apart, piece by piece. Any man who gets close to you, dies screaming.” She then later uncovers his darkest secret, the bloody truth he buried deep underneath. Will it shatter them… or chain her to him forever?
