    Silvio Salvatore He was the kind of man who made power look effortless, like it was stitched into his skin. His voice carried quiet authority, smooth but with an undertone that could make even the boldest man hesitate. Behind the calm exterior was a mind built on precision and patience, the kind that dismantled empires one calculated move at a time. Silvio Salvatore didn't raise his voice; he didn't have to. His silence alone could make people confess things they hadn't even done. He wasn't cruel for pleasure, only for purpose. And when purpose demanded hardness, he delivered it without hesitation. He had built an empire out of loyalty and respect both equally earned. There was nothing he hated more than mysteries. And she was the greatest one of all. The Black Swan. The shadow everyone spoke about but no one had truly seen. Every lead faded before it reached the truth. Until one day, she decided to let him find her. --- Ariana Sinclair She smiled at everyone, her sarcasm easy, her laughter infectious-almost harmless. She was the Black Swan, a name carried through whispers. A ghost in a world that lived on secrets, moving with purpose and precision, leaving nothing but questions behind. Nobody knew her, nobody caught her, and nobody crossed her path without her permission. Silvio found her not by chance, but by her choice, on her terms. Beneath the charm lay a past that shaped her into everything the world feared and admired. Beauty was her lure, innocence her disguise, but her eyes told the real story, sharp, aware, and unyielding. And in the game of shadows they were about to play, one truth remained: nothing would be the same again.

She is considered a devil in her own right. One day, Valentina stumbles upon a truth that shatters her entire existence: she has a family, a revelation that could ignite chaos and destruction. Despite this revelation, both sides have kept secrets from each other, secrets that, once revealed, will leave them in utter shock.

    She was raised in silence. Born into a legendary family of assassins, Y/N learned how to disappear before she learned how to make friends. Her parents were always away on dangerous missions, leaving an empty house behind. They loved her in their own way, but love was often delivered through letters, money, and training manuals instead of warm hugs. So she raised herself. She cooked her own meals. She patched up her own injuries. She celebrated birthdays alone. Over the years, Y/N became someone people barely noticed. Quiet, polite, and expressionless, she only spoke when necessary. To classmates, she was just another forgotten student. A ghost. But ghosts see everything. Hidden beneath her calm exterior is an assassin trained since childhood-someone with incredible reflexes, unmatched stealth, and deadly precision. She can sneak into any room unnoticed, read people's movements before they attack, and disappear without leaving a trace. When she's transferred into Class 3-E, the class assigned to assassinate the mysterious creature known as Koro-sensei, everyone assumes she's just another shy student. They're wrong. Even Koro-sensei-the fastest being on Earth-finds himself unable to sense her presence. For the first time, Y/N meets people who slowly begin to notice the girl who always stood quietly in the background. But can a ghost learn what it feels like to truly belong? Or will the life she was born into force her to disappear forever?

    Ten years ago, Eliana was judged, condemned, and exiled by her own blood. Accused of attempting to murder her perfect identical twin sister, Rosalie, she was dumped at the St. Jude Academy-a brutal, highly classified boarding school designed to strip away human emotion and build elite lethal assets. To the world, she became Subject 417. The Regina. Now, at fifteen, the contract is fulfilled. Eliana is suddenly summoned back to the sprawling, hyper-secured estate of her biological family. Her cold parents and five older brothers expect a broken, guilty girl desperate for their forgiveness. They plan to force her into high society at the prestigious St. Augustine's Private Academy, using her as a quiet chess piece to maintain their public perfection. But behind the expensive suits, heavy security, and perfect smiles, her family is hiding a dark secret: they run a powerful, ruthless mafia syndicate. They think they've brought back a compliant teenager they can control. They have no idea that Eliana doesn't feel fear, doesn't feel guilt, and views their entire household as a hostile threat matrix. With her brilliant tech-specialist best friend, Isabella, operating as her secret eye in the sky, Eliana begins a silent, slow-burn psychological war against her hostile brothers and her deeply manipulative twin. They loathe her presence. They challenge her boundaries. But they are about to learn the hard way that you should never let a monster back into the house.

    "They came for his crown and his blood. They didn't count on the woman holding the red pen." ........................ Aiden Thorne is a billionaire, a kingpin, and a single father. He's a man who has everything, except a way to keep the ghosts of his past from reaching his children. He thinks he's found the perfect sanctuary for his heirs: an elite school with a warm, kind teacher to guide them. He trusts his high-tech security to keep the monsters at bay. He's dead wrong. I am Anna. To the twins, I'm the teacher with the gentle smile and the gold stars. To the underworld, I'm a ghost-a retired assassin whose name once made the most ruthless men pray for a quick death. I traded my silencer for a syllabus to escape the blood, but when a syndicate puts a target on my students' backs, "Miss Anna" is going back to work. By day, I teach them their ABCs. By night, I hunt the men who dare to breathe their names. Aiden has no idea that the woman grading his children's homework is the deadliest weapon on the continent. And if I have my way, he'll never find out. But as the enemies close in and the tension between us burns hotter than a smoking barrel, I'm forced to make a choice: Keep my secret and watch them die, or pick up the gun and show the King exactly who he let into his home.

The world came to know me as Cherry, a cold-hearted assassin with one goal: hunt down every last person responsible for my family's annihilation. I don't do distractions. I don't make mistakes. And I definitely don't get involved with men like HIM. New York's most ruthless kingpin, Ryder Black, rules the city through fear, power, and absolute obedience. He's built an empire no one dares challenge. But when I execute a hit right under his nose and disappear before his men can even draw their weapons, I do the one thing no one else ever has: I capture his attention. The plan should have been simple. Use him. Leave him. Finish my revenge. Instead, every lie draws us closer. Every move becomes a game neither of us is willing to lose. Somewhere between the bloodshed, betrayal, and secrets, hatred twists into something far more dangerous. Obsession. The kind that consumes us both. The kind that turns two predators into each other's greatest weakness. And when revenge has always come first, loving each other may be the one thing neither of us survives.

    She was an asset. WCKD's sharpest blade. Their deadliest weapon. But the moment she rose out of the Box, she became an error. Zephyr doesn't arrive in the Glade broken or begging-she arrives burning. With questions no one wants to answer and a defiance that grates against the rules holding the place together. The Maze looms, alive and waiting, and she learns quickly that survival here demands speed, instinct, and the willingness to bleed. She runs. She fights. She adapts. The Maze takes notice. Newt does too. From the start, they clash-order against chaos, restraint against reckless courage. Every argument crackles with tension, every shared silence heavy with words left unsaid. He sees danger in her refusal to bend. She sees fear in his careful control. Neither trusts the other, yet the Maze keeps forcing them closer, threading their fates together with every shifting wall and narrowing escape. As the world beyond the Glade burns and the Scorch tests what little humanity they have left, Zephyr survives not because she is fearless-but because she refuses to lose. Memories stir at the edges of her mind, shadows of a life she can't fully remember and doesn't want to claim. WCKD hunts. The cure demands sacrifice. And the cost of survival grows steeper with every step forward. In the end, Zephyr fights through the Maze, the Scorch, and the lies of a broken world for one reason alone. Not the cure. Not redemption. But him. Because loving Newt was the one thing no system could predict-and the one thing she would burn the world to protect. ━━━━━━。゜✿ฺ✿ฺ゜。━━━━━━━ ˏˋ°•⁀➷ 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐭 𝐗 𝐟𝐞𝐦!𝐨𝐜 ˏˋ°•⁀➷ 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐳𝐞 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐜

    (note: Story cover has been updated May 2023 :) New chapter covers will be added slowly too) Catherine Wolfe didn't know why she was chosen, or if she was at all. She only knew she'd been pulled through time to help a family involved in a war she'd never thought to exist, and that it was her only way back home. What she didn't expect, though, was the young man with whom her fate became inexplicably entwined. Ezio/OC Slow burn -- #1 in assassin's creed, #6 Ezioauditore 12/15/2019!!! I've been a fan of Assassin's Creed for a long time (not quite as long as Transformers), and I've always loved Ezio's games. I actually had this idea for a long time, but my previous Transformers fanfic and school took up all my time. Thanks to a friend, though, I have my inspiration, and expect this story to go places. For those who've read my other story, you're going to recognize the OC, and you've found me out: she's my go-to gall. I love using her in my fandoms, so if you enjoyed watching her grow in her first fic, I guarantee you'll love watching her in this one, too.&amp;nbsp; This time around, though, she's facing something perhaps far more dangerous. Whether or not she makes it... well, only time will tell and you'll have to keep reading her newest adventure to find out! As usual, if you see any mistakes, please let me know! Editing is never 100% full proof, so I appreciate the help. And don't be afraid to comment or share your opinion! I love hearing from you all and will do my best to reply to all your comments. :) Updates will be whenever I finish a new chapter, so hopefully on a weekly bases! And with that all said, enjoy Assassin's Creed: Chronos!

    •SYPNOSIS• 𝑽𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒂 𝑩𝒊𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒊 has always lived behind secrets. To her newly discovered family, she is the long-lost daughter-their fragile, innocent little sister they thought they had finally found. But that is only half the truth. Beneath the name Valentina Bianchi lies another identity whispered throughout the underworld. Velvet Viper. A highly skilled assassin who has spent years keeping her true nature hidden behind a carefully constructed mask. Even after discovering that she belongs to one of the most powerful American-Italian Mafia families, Valentina chooses to keep her greatest secret buried. She never tells them who she really is. She never tells them what she has done. And most importantly, she never tells them about Velvet Viper. Because some secrets are safer when they remain in the dark. Or at least, that's what she thought. Until Adrien. The mysterious stranger who appeared as an enemy, took her hostage, and somehow saw straight through the frightened girl she pretended to be. He knew her secret name. Velvet Viper. A name her family had never heard. A name she had never spoken to them. So how could he possibly know? Now Valentina is left with a question far more dangerous than any enemy she's ever faced: Who exactly is Adrien? How does he know her true identity? What does he know about her past? And why does it seem like he knows far more about her than he should? For the first time, the girl who has spent her entire life uncovering everyone else's secrets may have finally met someone who has been uncovering hers. Because perhaps Adrien isn't just another enemy. Perhaps he's the beginning of a secret Valentina was never supposed to discover. And the real question isn't what Adrien knows. It's just who the hell is this man? ________________________________________
