ALÉM DAS SOMBRAS
Romance Maria lutando para sobreviver nas margens da sociedade preconceituosa e pobre,retornava para Trindade com suas filhas.
Seu encontro casual com o pai das crianças, Antônio, desencadeia uma tempestade de emoções que pensava estarem enterradas. Enquanto a neblina do passado se dissipa, revela-se um caminho de solidão e dificuldades esperanças e encontros inesperados.
Maria tremia enquanto empurrava o carrinho de bebê pela rua principal de trindade, os dedos congelados pelo frio cortante de julho. A cidade portuária habitualmente tranquila, estava envolta em uma névoa gélida, como se o próprio clima refletisse a incerteza e o desespero de Maria.
Sem condições de manter as duas recém-nascidas, filhas de um romance rápido, maria se via perdida. Vinda de uma família de pescadores e já mãe de uma menina de sete anos, ela mal conseguia imaginar como enfrentaria mais esse desafio. Dormindo de favor num quarto nos fundos da casa de uma parente, ela enfrentava as dificuldades sem muitas perspectivas, enquanto empurrava o carrinho, maria lembrava-se do pai das crianças, Antônio, cujo rosto ainda ecoava em sua mente. Ela o encontrou por acaso quando saía do supermercado, e o olhar curioso de Antônio ao vê-la sem a aparência de gestante a deixou atônita e trêmula. “maria?", chamou Antônio, aproximando-se lentamente.
_há quanto tempo não nos vemos. Maria engoliu em seco, tentando controlar o nervosismo. _sim, faz um tempo. “Antônio observou as duas crianças no carrinho.
_elas são suas? “maria assentiu, sentindo um aperto no peito. "sim, são minhas.
_há algo que eu possa fazer para ajudar?", perguntou Antônio, com uma expressão de genuína preocupação.
Maria sentiu um misto de emoções ao ouvir suas palavras. Ela não esperava essa oferta de ajuda vinda de Antônio, mas também não conseguia ignorar a esperança que brotava dentro dela.
Maria observou Antônio se afastar com um sorriso nos lábios, sentindo-se aliviada por adiar a conversa sobre a verdadeira paternidade das crianças. Ele era um homem impressionante, alto e imponente, com um sorriso cativante que iluminava seu rosto. Seu charme natural e presença dominante sempre chamavam a atenção por onde passava.
Enquanto maria empurrava o carrinho de bebê de volta para casa, ela se perguntava sobre o que o futuro reservava. Teria sido certo esconder a verdade de Antônio? Ela sabia que mais cedo ou mais tarde teria que enfrentar as consequências de suas escolhas. Chegando em casa, maria ajeitou as crianças e se permitiu um breve momento de descanso. Seu coração estava repleto de emoções conflitantes, mas ela sabia que teria que enfrentar cada desafio com coragem e determinação. Afinal, suas filhas dependiam dela para tudo. Enquanto a noite caía sobre trindade, maria se viu pensando em Antônio e no que o futuro poderia reservar para eles. Seria ele capaz de aceitar as crianças, mesmo sem ela ter contato que eram suas? E o mais importante, estaria maria pronta para abrir seu coração para o homem que poderia mudar o curso de sua vida? Essas perguntas ecoavam em sua mente enquanto ela se preparava para o que o destino tinha reservado para ela e suas filhas.
Maria sentia-se sobrecarregada pelo peso da responsabilidade de cuidar de suas filhas. Ela nunca foi ensinada a ser mãe e, conforme os dias passavam, suas inseguranças apenas aumentavam. Sem conseguir trabalho e com as despesas se acumulando, ela se via lutando para dar o melhor às crianças, mas cada vez mais questionava se estava fazendo o certo. Enquanto olhava para Camila e as gêmeas recém-nascidas, maria se via mergulhada em uma mistura de amor e incerteza. Ela não sabia se tinha o que era necessário para cuidar delas da maneira que mereciam. Afinal, as crianças eram de pais diferentes, e maria se perguntava se não seria melhor para elas crescerem com seus próprios pais, que talvez pudessem oferecer mais estabilidade e apoio do que ela poderia. As noites solitárias e os dias difíceis apenas aumentavam suas dúvidas. Ela se via questionando suas escolhas e se sentindo perdida em um mar de responsabilidades que pareciam grandes demais para suportar sozinha. O pensamento de se separar das criança, não parecia correto, mas ela não podia ignorar a possibilidade de que talvez fosse o melhor para elas. Maria se perguntava se tinha coragem de tomar essa decisão.
Ela sabia que qualquer que fosse o caminho que escolhesse, teria que ser feito com o bem-estar das crianças em mente. E enquanto lutava para encontrar uma resposta, ela rezava por uma luz no fim do túnel que pudesse guiá-la na direção certa.

MY MASTERS
Mercy Kay For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

Miss Carter, you will be mine. I say firmly.
"Release my arm, Mr. Carrington, before I force you to." She says, seeming to smile at me. I give her a sly smile. Squeezing my wrist with her other hand, she twists it uncomfortably. I gave a painful hiss. "Don't underestimate me, Mr. Carrington."

"Mr. Carrington, I am no possession of yours." I was left standing there when she opened the classroom door and left.
MISTAKEN RUTHLESS TYCOON FOR LOVER
Bernadate The moment Emily saw Carlos, she instinctively tried to shut the door. But Carlos had already guessed what she'd do - he grabbed onto the doorframe in an instant. Carlos, "I was wrong. I know I hurt you. I really do." Emily, "If you want to repent, go to church." Aiden had already appeared in front of her. He flung Carlos's hand off the door and walked straight into Emily's apartment. Bam! The door slammed shut. Carlos didn't even see clearly who it was. Emily hadn't processed it either before Aiden grabbed her hand, spun her around, and pinned her directly against the door. He didn't bother walking a few more steps. His breath reeked of alcohol as he kissed her fiercely and without warning. Emily's mind was still on Carlos, who was right outside. With just a thin wall between them - and a door that wasn't even soundproof - the shame came flooding in from all directions. She was sure Carlos could hear every sound of them kissing. She whimpered and tried to push Aiden away. Aiden frowned and grabbed her wandering hands, pinning them above her head, tight against the door. He captured her lips again in a kiss that left her breathless. With heavy breathing, Aiden lifted her chin, forcing her to look straight at him. "Say it. Say you only like me."
Emily's ex-boyfriend Carlos had cheated on her. The girl he cheated with? Her uncle drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom. A few days after their breakup, Emily spotted that very Rolls-Royce Phantom outside the Imperial Banquet Hotel. Thinking of Carlos and that bitch Angela being all lovey-dovey, she couldn't help the bitterness rising in her chest. Carlos wanted to skip twenty years of hard work? Dream on. Carlos still wanted to be "in relationship" with her? Fine - she'd become their aunt in law. Let them have to smile and bow in front of her while trying to suck up. In that moment, Emily didn't know where the surge of confidence came from, but she smiled sweetly and knocked on the backseat window of that Rolls-Royce. The window rolled down slowly. A young, gorgeous man and his driver looked over. The man's eyes deep and mesmerizing behind his glasses. Emily's heart skipped a beat. Angela looks pretty average... but her uncle? He's ridiculously hot. Months later, Emily was cozily sitting in the backseat of the same Rolls-Royce, hand in hand with the elegant Aiden. Not far off, she spotted the cheater Angela and ex-boyfriend Carlos. She waved her fingers at them in a haughty, arrogant gesture.
Emily,"Don't you know to greet your elders? Angela's face went pale as she slowly made her way over and said to the driver up front, "Uncle John" Emily, "...?"
