Beneath a broken mask lies the truth behind the façade, and while masks can conceal pain, they cannot mend wounds. In the end, no mask was worth the torture. However, to Midnight Velasquez, who was forced to wear a mask since he was young, the mask hiding his true face was a façade he was ready to keep for a lifetime. However, what occurs when the mask begins to break, revealing the dreadful things concealed beneath it? Would he have the courage to confront his true self reflected in the mirror, or would the remnants of his broken mask consume him and drag him into the depths of despair? With a broken mask, a battered body and a weary soul, Midnight couldn't help pondering... is this life worth living for? CECELIB | C.C.

Compilation of my stories. Chronological Order.

When Clau enters the woods where her father was attacked to find clues about the assassins, little did she know they are still there! "Oh, I was scared out of my wits... scared about why I still didn't have you in my life yet when I've wanted you for a long time. I knew you're special." Luc is an NBI agent and when he came out of nowhere to rescue Claudia from the goons, it was all she could do to act like a damsel-in-distress. But when it comes to the point of life and death - damn with her secret. She fought... fiercely. He is not the only one trained to protect other people, and she is not about to leave him fighting the evil men who have hurt both their fathers on his own! But do stories ever end just like that in the lives of the secret elites of Black Bureau, Incorporated? Hah! Of course not. Just when they discovered they've had the hots for since they met, someone gets marked to die. When the first assassins failed to complete the 'hit' there in the forest, someone more sinister is waiting to step in and finish the job.
