Highest Ranks: |Mystery/Thriller #1| |Action #3| I was trained my whole life to disarm a grown man using nothing but a credit card, nail files, and a sock if I'm lucky.

I mean would you suspect a varsity cheerleader to be a spy working for the CIA? Or Interpol? The FBI maybe? Of course not which is why it works.

A billionaire is dead. Another is watching. And the woman chasing the truth may already be his obsession. When the COO of Arcadia Software is found murdered in his Manhattan penthouse, the city smells blood. The press swarms. The board panics. And Aiden Blackwell, the company's devastatingly private CEO says nothing. He doesn't have to. Fresh off a career-making exposé that destroyed a pharmaceutical empire, an investigative journalist Mileena Monroe is assigned to break his silence. Her reputation precedes her: relentless, fearless, impossible to manipulate. She's built a career dismantling powerful men. Aiden Blackwell was never meant to be one of them. Brilliant, composed, and dangerously unreadable, Aiden exists in a world where secrets are currency and desire is leverage. As grief over his best friend's death curdles into something darker, he invites her into his orbit; an invitation she knows better than to accept, and can't afford to refuse. What follows is a slow-burning collision of intellect and instinct. A cat-and-mouse chase played out across penthouses, private conferences, and whispered conversations where every look is a challenge and every touch is a threat. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she risks losing control-not just of the story, but of herself. Because the murder wasn't random. The silence isn't empty. And Aiden Blackwell doesn't want to destroy her- He wants to unravel her. In a game where power seduces, truth bleeds, and love is the most dangerous liability of all, one question remains: Is she hunting him... or exactly where he wants her?

They however, don't know that there isn't always hope in despair. If there is light, there is a shadow after all. As I like to say "Don't waste time. There may be no tomorrow". ____________________________________ William Adams, just about like any other normal person in this world. Though, what makes him stand out is that he is somewhat different, alluring even. But what does make him stand out? This person had a wish just like any other person his age after all... Being in love with another person that will also love them back. And did he find someone like that? Yes, he did. And maybe she did as well. Quite a love-struck couple those two were. If you saw them, you'd think they would have already married... Though, taken from the tragic tales of high school love... There is a reason it's called first love only. It is the first, but not the last. They split apart. He was 16 at the time. He couldn't eat properly for days. Cried endlessly for someone he lost. Though what was he crying for? She did not die after all... Ẃ̴̱̝̟͒́̊̽̔͛̐̒̀̐̈́͌̾ȩ̶̨̗̫͈͈͓̮͕́̓̌͊͗̑͒̐i̸͎̰̟̳̰̪͚͕̪̮̯̫͇̎̈́̈̎͜r̷̡̠͚̳̮͕̭̪̬͉̥̈́͌̍̍̆̅̌͂̌̎͛̚͜ͅḑ̸̱͕͒̓̐. And as in all things of life, everything is not permanent. Nothing stays still. Time is linear, It will always move forwards. He just about turned 18. Studying in college, Met someone new, and has a supportive friend... It seems he has reached the "Silver Lining" in his story. Unbeknownst to him though, He is yet to see it.

He transcended them all. Now, I'm trapped. I've been running for two hours, yet this forest has no end. Hunger gnaws at me, my bleeding heel threatens collapse-but I can't afford to lose this last chance to escape. A tree looms ahead, wisteria and fireflies surrounding it. I stumble to it, sinking against the trunk. The mirror work on my lehenga catches the glow of the fireflies. It's Karwachauth-my first. A day to pray for a husband's long life, yet here I am, fleeing mine. "My little fairy finally stopped, hmm?" His voice, soft yet unreadable, halts my breath. Arms enclose me, pulling me into his chest. A kiss lands on my forehead. "You've played enough. Let's go home-you need to break your fast... and face the consequences of your actions." He lifts me effortlessly. I lost my very last chance.

He watched her wordlessly. She was beautiful in his eyes. She wasn't like the others he had previously killed for joy, for satisfaction. She was without a doubt made for him, he thought. Her whole existence was for him. Only him. He grinned from within the shadows. Soon he'd have her for himself. Soon she would see him and feel the same way. This, after all, in his eyes, was destiny.

What if it came to the starkest of all choices: kill, or else suffer the loss of a loved one? Readers' comments: 'simply the best', 'one of the best books I've read', 'loved it', 'amazing', 'great reading', 'stumped me to the very end' and others Plot: When a pregnant doctor is brutally murdered in her own kitchen, the husband claims to have some weeks earlier received an anonymous and darkly menacing letter. For the small town of Ravensby, it's just the start of a living nightmare - one in which nobody is spared from the murderous cross hairs, and which will drive Detective Inspector Kubič to the edge of his own sanity... Genre: suspense/thriller Status: completed Length: 70,000 words (approx. 275 standard novel pages) Target readership: Though aimed primarily at adults, the novel features several teenage characters and so may also appeal to a younger audience Extract: "Warn you sir, not a pretty sight in there." Kubič took a deep, preparatory breath, his footsteps slow and leaden as he moved towards the kitchen door. Not for the first time over the years, he found himself wishing he'd chosen an entirely different sort of career. Paper-pushing, something out of doors. Anything at all. He'd always been reasonable enough at woodwork back at school, he recalled. Why hadn't he done that, he thought? Become a cabinet maker or some damn thing. A reluctant hand pushed open the door... "Oh dear Christ." The words escaped his mouth forcefully, involuntarily, like blood gushing from an open wound

Among the many thrown into this cursed academy, a group of friends finds themselves bound by fate. One among them-a girl whose heart dares to love the mysterious and feared owner of the school.

Every smile may hide a dagger. Every truth may be a lie. And in the end... Will love conquer the storm, or will hatred and vengeance burn the world down? "Fight or else you will die..."
