Dive into this exciting story, and you will discover this and other secrets.

Chapter 1 THE BRIDE ALONE

A dream wedding, a white and illuminated church, full seats, and television news cameras; I was the bride; I wore a white dress with rhinestones; it seemed strange that my groom did not arrive; perhaps it was a Sicilian custom; perhaps it was my freckles? I don't think so because my many suitors have praised them along with my honey-colored eyes, my brown hair, and my toned body. Although I am not very tall, I am not small either. I have come to the conclusion that I am a Colombian beauty, a bombshell, which means that I would not because I am ugly.

The orchestra of the moment kept playing their repertoire; they already felt forced. I calmed down, thinking that they wanted to avoid their most successful song, which talks about heartbreak. I felt that the bouquet was getting heavier, and the heels, those heels that I chose to try to surpass, wanting to eclipse him somehow, now charged rent to my feet.

Furthermore, I look at the door, wanting a whirlwind to come in and take me to Oz or somewhere; possibly this cretin had the same idea as me: run out Before the wedding, and if I execute it,

The priest looks at me in silence, like everyone else. Although I hear murmurs, I only see long faces and closed mouths. It already looks like a funeral. I don't know what to do. Perhaps if I drink the wine to consecrate it and start dancing in the holy water fountain, I will draw some smiles from the guests. That would be better than stopping my crying.

I can't believe I'm looking at the door; it looks like a painting by some surrealist painters. An elegant car arrives, comes fast, and suddenly breaks. I hope it's him; by God, it's him. I can't focus well; the tears in my eyes distort me. It's a man dressed in black. I feel like fainting.

As I regain consciousness, I see everyone around me, I look for the one who came in asking,

"Who came in? Is it Angelo?"

"It was me, Mrs. Ximena; I am Mr. Angelo's lawyer. I brought you some documents." He takes some documents out of a briefcase and says to me,

"These are the prenuptial agreements; I'm sorry I didn't square this before; also, a marriage certificate duly filled out; besides, he sends you a thousand apologies for not showing up for the marriage."

"No, this is unfair; what a lack of seriousness! Why are you doing this to me?" I exploded furiously, throwing the documents.

My parents hug me, trying to minimize my crying, while the lawyer angrily shouts,

"I'm not to blame; who knows what you would do? You must be bad for..."

"Shut your mouth, you piece of garbage; the poor girl is right; Angelo will listen to me." Don Joseph, the grandfather of the groom that everyone respected to a point of veneration, seemed to have magical powers because the face of the shoddy lawyer went from being red with exaltation to whitish with fear and he answered,

"A thousand pardons, I got carried away; the truth is, I am also very stressed with this matter; I don't understand Angelo's reasons for acting this way; I ask you to please excuse me; I am just another servant; I came prepared for this; and I brought more copies just in case."

I calmed down, and I read the papers that I took out with his trembling hands. The first paragraph says that if he were to die of unnatural causes, I would be detained while the guilty parties were determined, and if they did not appear, I would be the main suspect. In addition to having no right to any of the assets or compensation from Angelo or anyone related to him or his family,

"How rude!" I exclaimed, "I am not an opportunist, and even less a murderer!"

"Sorry, my lady; I repeat, I am only a humble servant," says the braggart, trembling.

The grandfather, Don Joseph, asks me to let him read them and exclaims,

"What's the meaning of this, that Angelo will hear me? Cancel everything!"

I feel some satisfaction; everyone will judge him; he was the one who stood me up, that little man, I put my face up; this is one more adversity, and since I was a little girl, I have defeated them. This is not going to be my Waterloo. I look at everyone; the contracted faces and diffuse looks darken the atmosphere. When I look at my parents, they don't deserve this. I have to give them the pride of marrying me on this day, as they expected. Besides all the other things at stake, in the end, what interests me the least about that gentleman is his filthy money; he can swallow it all if he wants, but I have better goals. That's why, in that instant before an outburst of madness or haughtiness, sponsored by revenge and hatred, I agree to sign, saying,

"Don Joseph, don't get upset; I will sign all those expletives. If there is a wedding, I have word and honor. I apologize to everyone present, and I will do my best to be your best hostess. Please turn the page. Let the joy come. It's a party. Besides, the people in charge of the party also eat, and surely they have already committed what they will earn serving the tables. Gentlemen of the orchestra, please play your song that sounds on all the radio stations."

I signed each paper without reading it much, since each sentence that I managed to grasp felt like a blow. That bear treated me worse than Cain. Each thing I will keep in a chest with which I will break his mother when I can, well, I will be careful not to eliminate him. I do not want to have to spend a few years of my life locked up in a prison for someone who is not worth it.

When I finish signing the agreements, Don Joseph comes up to me, grabs my elbows, and very affectionately comments:

"If you want, you know you have my blessing. I wish I were a few years younger. I would not hesitate for a second to take your hand. Please, let's go to the celebration. I would like you to let me accompany you in the car of the newlyweds. I do not want you to look strange alone, although I do not want people to whisper that I am an old cradle robber with a young grave robber. Sorry if I offend you."

"Not at all, Don Joseph; your presence honors me; it's a pity that Angelo didn't get anything similar to you."

"It is possible that he fell out of the cradle or was given a bad tooth when he was a baby."

We left laughing non-stop, snatching the space from the sadness; that wonderful man was an oasis in my desert of bitterness. When we arrived at the grand hacienda where the party would take place, the welcoming committee was perplexed, not because of my beauty but because, as Don Joseph predicted, they thought I was my sugar daddy. The party ran in relative calm; I happened to be the clown, and I had to paint a fake smile throughout the evening. Fortunately, I found a delicious Chilean drink, twice my age, which gave me comfort, and in my imagination, I prepared different reactions for when Angelo arrived.

In the end, it turned out that the wine ran out or finished with me, and the next thing I knew, I was being carried like a baby into a beautiful hotel suite, which seemed to have gold railings.

THE COLOMBIAN ALPHA

THE COLOMBIAN ALPHA

Werewolf

5.0

It centers on the relationship between the heir of the pack and the mafia, and his mate, a poor human woman, who is not accepted by the Alpha leader. The wolf father only wants his son to fall in love with one of their own or, at least, with an important human like a queen or someone from a wealthy family. Mariana and Alberto must find a way for the Alpha father to accept their relationship and seek a cure for the bite from a jaguar man, as well as transform her into a she-wolf. They also need to take down enemy cartels, and the business, and escape the police. When they first met, he didn't accept that his mate was a human, and she couldn't believe werewolves existed. But love forced them to accept each other, and they considered transforming her to please his father, although he didn't want to turn her into a wolf until they were married. She gets infected by a jaguar man, and they must seek a priestess with the power to heal such curses so they can be together. Mariana is kidnapped by the jaguar men, who kill Alberto in the attack, but fortunately, an old wolf knows a ritual to revive him. Upon returning to life, he is reborn with more powers. While in captivity, Mariana discovers that Alberto's mother and brother, whom he believed dead, are actually prisoners of the shamans. She manages to escape with the help of a prince of the jaguar men, who falls in love with her. An enemy kills the Alpha father, leaving Alberto in charge, but business and the pursuit of avenging his father consume him completely. He neglects his relationship with Mariana, who meets an enemy wolf that forces an encounter with her, as he has a mission to win her over. The situation becomes complicated when he falls in love with her, and she is kidnapped again by the evil shaman to force Alberto to hand over all his wealth and business. Fortunately, Mariana frees herself, wandering through the jungle until she is found by the protagonist's men. Mariana becomes pregnant with six babies, but the birth is very complicated, leaving her in a coma. She wakes up six weeks later to discover that the police have surrounded her husband and captured him. Her children have been taken to a lab to study their strange wolf-like characteristics. She finds a way to free her children while Alberto escapes, but he dies while fleeing, leaving Mariana alone and desperate with her children. She has to hide because she is pursued even by her husband's former subordinates, who want to take over his business. Alberto miraculously survives and reappears. During this time, he was captured by an obsessive former girlfriend. He frees himself, swears his love to Mariana, and eliminates the ex. He then dedicates himself to dismantling the organization, digs up all his fortune, and donates part of it to charity. Likewise, he rescues Luisa from being devoured by her enemies, wins her back, and they marry in a beautiful full moon wedding, where he finally transforms her into one of them. She becomes the Luna of the pack and gets pregnant again.

Nicole had entered marriage with Walter, a man who never returned her feelings, bound to him through an arrangement made by their families rather than by choice. Even so, she had held onto the quiet belief that time might soften his heart and that one day he would learn to love her. However, that day never came. Instead, he treated her with constant contempt, tearing her down with cruel words and dismissing her as fat and manipulative whenever it suited him. After two years of a cold and distant marriage, Walter demanded a divorce, delivering his decision in the most degrading manner he could manage. Stripped of her dignity and exhausted by the humiliation, Nicole agreed to her friend Brenda's plan to make him see what he had lost. The idea was simple but daring. She would use another man to prove that the woman Walter had mocked and insulted could still be desired by someone else. All they had to do was hire a gigolo. Patrick had endured one romantic disappointment after another. Every woman he had been involved with had been drawn not to him, but to his wealth. As one of the heirs to a powerful and influential family, he had long accepted that this pattern was almost unavoidable. What Patrick wanted was far more difficult to find. He longed to fall in love with a woman who cared for him as a person, not for the name he carried or the fortune attached to it. One night, while he was at a bar, an attractive stranger approached him. Because of his appearance and composed demeanor, she mistook him for a gigolo. She made an unconventional proposal, one that immediately caught his interest and proved impossible for him to refuse.

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
