*** Why are you still here Mr Wellington?" I asked as I clutched my bathrobe to cover my body well. I don't want the scenario of my bathrobe falling off. "You've not answered me, who's that guy?" He asked "You mean Darlington?" "Da... What?" He raised his brows "You heard me, I work for you Mr Wellington, as your PA, you have no right to ask me about my private life, who I hang out with or talk to isn't your business! I don't poke my nose in your affairs so don't poke your nose in mine!" I shot at him in anger. "Listen you have every right to be mad at me and I don't blame you, I just need you to listen to me" he said firmly "Whatever you say won't change anything Mr Wellington" "Great! I'm sick and tired of trying to reason with you, I'm not interested in explaining myself anymore, but I want you to know one thing, strong relationships are built on the foundation of trust, relationships without trust or forgiveness are bound to fail, just like ours" he said and stormed out I slumped on my bed and different thoughts ran through my mind. His statement echoed in my head "strong relationships are built on the foundation of trust, relationships without trust or forgiveness are bound to fail, just like ours" *** Read and enjoy DEPTH OF PAIN #51- adc... out of 292 stories (december 1st 2018)

When her settlement falls to the infected, Vela escapes with nothing but the clothes on her back and the vague memory of nearby settlements located somewhere beyond. No map. No supplies. No guarantee she can make the journey. The world outside is a minefield, crawling with infected and worse things hiding between the ruins. So when one of the creatures finds her alone, she prepares to be torn apart. But instead of killing her, he becomes fixated on her. He's unlike any of the infected roaming the wasteland. That's because he isn't. He's something else. A mutant. Stronger, smarter in some ways, and disturbingly human in others. He doesn't speak. Doesn't behave like a human would. Yet for reasons she doesn't understand, he becomes attached to her. And as dangerous roads, starving survivors, and endless hordes close in around them, she decides to use his unnatural attachment to survive the journey to find another settlement. But the farther they travel together, the harder it becomes to tell where fear ends and trust begins.

Evelyn has been unwanted in two lives. After dying to stop a terrorist from escaping, she is reborn in a poor village where her red hair marks her as cursed. When sickness kills her parents and leaves her alive, the villagers blame her. Years later, desperate to appease raiding centaurs, they bind Evelyn in the forest as a tribute bride. But the centaur who finds her is not a raider. Caevan, King of the Centaurs, hates humans more than anyone. He severed the ancient bride-bonds between their peoples and has no desire to restore them. Yet the exiles terrorizing human villages are his problem, and leaving a bound woman to die is beneath even his hatred. Now Evelyn is under the protection of the very king who should despise her. And by bringing home the first human bride his people have seen in generations, Caevan may have started the very war he severed the bride-bonds to prevent.

When an elite modern-day soldier dies during a mission, he expects oblivion-not a second life. He awakens in the body of Xin Pengxi, a notorious drunkard and gambler whose name is spoken with disappointment throughout the village. Burdened by debts, a ruined reputation, and the scars left on those closest to him, Pengxi had spent years drowning his family in misery. Now, a stranger occupies his body, carrying memories of another world and skills centuries ahead of his time. Waiting for him at home are the people who have suffered the most: his wary wife, Lin Yue; his timid young daughter, Xin Yi; and his family members, Xin Hua and Xin Ting, who have long since lost faith in the man he used to be. But earning their trust proves far more difficult than surviving a battlefield. Determined to make amends for sins he never committed yet now carries, Xin Pengxi begins a new life from the ground up. He ventures into the mountains to hunt, gathers resources from the wilderness, and uses knowledge from the modern world to create innovations far beyond his era. With every meal placed on the table, every promise kept, and every hardship shared, he slowly chips away at the fear and resentment surrounding him. As seasons pass, a broken household begins to heal. A frightened child learns to smile again. A wounded wife dares to hope. A family once torn apart discovers what it means to love and be loved. Yet this is more than the story of one man's redemption. It is a tale of rebuilding lives, transforming a struggling village into a thriving community, and proving that true strength is not found on the battlefield, but in the courage to protect, provide, and cherish those who call you family. In a world that gave him a second chance, Xin Pengxi will forge not only a new future-but a place where everyone can finally call home.

[Formerly known as 'Trinkets'] Mahika and Amoli can't stand each other, but that's not the only thing they have in common. Mahika treats Amoli like she's childish. Amoli thinks Mahika is a stuck-up prude. But Mahika's best friend and Amoli's brother are getting married, so they can't ignore each other forever. If that wasn't the case, they wouldn't even acknowledge each other's existence. Right? Wrong. What meets the eye isn't all there is, is it? Throw a big fat Indian wedding, some alcohol, and a dimly lit hotel room together, and you'll find out, too. Because Mahika and Amoli certainly do.

Anthony stops at my bare shoulder and leans down to press a hot kiss onto the skin. "You can't say things like that.." He delivers another, this one to my collarbone and making my words grow weak, unconvincing ... even as they come from my own mouth. "We're supposed to be ... friends." Anthony is quiet at first, the only response I get being his free hand drifting over to cage my body into the small space between us. "I know .." He trails off. It goes dead silent for a second. "But I ... don't think that's enough for me, B." There's a sharp breath from me at the words and a flush of heat to my cheeks when Anthony pushes my hair over my shoulder. His actions expose me to him, showing off my bare shoulders in a way that's downright indecent as the straps pulled down now hang loosely off my arms. "I don't want .. to be just a friend to you." And then, there's another kiss to pair. Although it isn't a simple peck this time. It's an actual kiss now, slow and softly pressed onto my neck. Beatrix thought she'd never trust another guy again. After being burned, both physically and emotionally by her ex-boyfriend Rudy in her senior year of high school, Beatrix's trust in people is low. That is, until she transfers to the esteemed, private Highland University. It's a fresh start to give the girl what she wants most: A shot at normalcy. The plan is simple .. just keep her head down, study her ass off, try to become a functional person once again and hopefully make one friend or two. Everything was supposed to start over that year. She'd had high hopes of starting anew and faithfully prepared to blend in to the background. And the day goes well. Until she sits down in Spanish, where she meets Anthony Gamaro. After a slight misunderstanding, Beatrix finds herself in an odd friendship with the 20 year old football player. One that slowly helps her regain the confidence she'd long lost before.
