Hugo's mother has recently married Edmund Royce-Clarke, the first-born son of the affluent entrepreneurs, Wilbur and Agnes Royce-Clarke, co-founders of the formidable world of Royce-Clarke Private Banking. Alastair has spent considerable time and effort organising a garden party in honour of the distinguished couple's fiftieth wedding anniversary, to which Edmund and his new family are invited. With fine cuisine, deluxe drinks and a variety of recreational activities in the grounds of the beautiful Mossmere House, it seems nothing can spoil the party atmosphere. But when Hugo gets bored and decides it would be fun to play his own special game with Alastair, he unwittingly unlocks an undeniable chemistry that neither of them can ignore. As the attraction they have for each other continues to grow, the two men must try to find a way to navigate their desires without adversely impacting the celebrations - or riling the other prestigious party guests. ***** This story is the result of a collaboration between myself and @MichaelBeNot .

Ardent Currents - Book 1 One lost his dream. One found his heart. In a far future, two men find their fates in each other. Jamar Devereaux I told myself that all I ever wanted was my mother's company. It's why I'm back home to study business. Deep down, I know I only tell myself this lie because I can't have my true dream. He ruined all that for me... and then the accident stole my memories. Now, Mother's managed to put us in the sights of the Union's most notorious loan sharks. And what they want just might be the end of my life as I know it. Alaric Mako I've hunted him for so long, and at last, I'll finally make him mine. Summary: In a far off, technology-driven future of corporate dynasties, news-fluencers, and ruthless debt law, two men are forced into each other's orbit-and into an arranged engagement that only one of them wants... and the other didn't expect to crave. Jamar Devereaux returned home to inherit his mother's empire. But when she defaults on a dangerous loan to the most feared loan sharks in the Union, he's forced to save her-and himself-by agreeing to marry into the Mako family, notorious for collecting their debts with blood, time, and vengeance. His fiancé? Alaric Mako: the devastatingly handsome, cold and calculating heir who's spent years watching Jamar from afar. Jamar can't remember their brief past before his accident-but Alaric hasn't forgotten. As passion flares and old secrets resurface, enemies become lovers and hunters become the hunted in a deadly game of power, trust, and desire. In this world where loyalty is hired and love is a liability, can two men rewrite destiny?

"We can't do this." I whisper as our lips re-connect, a tingling fire surging through my body as his hands ravage unexplored lands; my innocence dissipating away with every peck he trails down my neck. "I know we can't. That's why it's so exciting." He replies through kisses. His effortless charm intoxicates me; drowning me; hunting me; devouring me. "What if my brother finds out?" The perpetuated patter of the rain unable to subdue my groan as he digs his nails deeper into my skin. "Who cares." ********** Welcome to my story, where an innocent boy finds a not so innocent boy in his bed; where they do not so innocent things. - YOP

- One glance towards the gate nearly took the boy's vision. The white glow coming from the gate was ferociously striking right into the boy's eyes every time he dared to take a look at them. But the radiant light coming from the gate became dim as a tall figure came merging through the bars of the gate. When the light from the gate became dim because of the figure, the boy took notice that the gate was locked. - Who is this boy? Why can't he get within the pearly gates? Those are two main questions that the boy wonders throughout his whole adventure. Maybe his questions will get answered, maybe they won't.

Random user names, random conversations. It was all meaning less to me at the end of the day. But one conversation stood out from the rest. His name was Jason, I learned his name at the end of the night. He was a stranger to me and I was a stranger to him, but his words were tattooed to my hip. He eased the numbness in the moment, but the feeling returned when we lost each other. Will I ever talk to Jason again? Read to continue to find out what happens next.

Shin Ha-Ri has lived and died seven times, but she doesn't know it. Since childhood, she has been haunted by terrifying nightmares-flashes of her own past lives, each ending in a gruesome death. In every dream, she desperately tries to reach for someone's hand, but she never sees his face. Her parents have sought doctors, shamans, and spiritual healers, but nothing has helped. She has learned to live with the nightmares, though a deep fear lingers in her heart. On the other side of the city, Kang Ji-Hoon-a handsome and cold-hearted business tycoon-struggles with his own dreams. Night after night, he witnesses a woman calling out to him, drowning in blood, fire, or darkness. But no matter how hard he tries, he can never see her face. He dismisses them as hallucinations and relies on sleeping pills to escape his torment. Fate brings them together in the most unexpected way, triggering a series of events that will unravel the mystery of their past lives. As they begin to recall their tragic fates one by one, they must race against time to break the curse that has doomed them to love and lose each other for centuries.

The War had ended. All the Death Eaters, including Lucius Malfoy , more or less had been locked up in Azkaban. Voldemort had been killed by the one and only-the boy who lived twice. After the war, they all went their separate ways, living among Muggles and discovering the surprising aspects of their world. For example-washing machines, microwaves, TVs, video games, and mobile phones. After Hogwarts was repaired, all students were invited back to complete their schooling, including the new eighth-year students. Everything had returned to normal-except for one thing. Or rather, one person. The person who had changed sides at the peak of the great war. The same person who, along with his mother, had disappeared the moment they were cleared of all charges-only keeping in touch through sporadic Instagram updates, as ordered by the Ministry. What changes would he behold and what would happen when he chanced upon a certain someone accidently?
