Emma Franklin is a saint. Andrew Cody is a sinner. In the Cody house, Smurf is god and loyalty is a religion. But the "static" in Andrew's head only goes quiet at The Sandy Anchor, over bad coffee and a smile from a woman who calls him Andrew. When Smurf marks the diner as a decoy for their next heist, the sanctuary is compromised. Now, Pope has to pay the tithe. He'll be the one to walk through those doors with a mask and a gun, because the only thing more dangerous than terrorizing the woman he wants is letting someone else do it.

I only own my original characters and story elements. Have fun reading :) They were never meant to be heroes. A group of broken operatives, ex-assassins, and unstable super soldiers are forced into the same team under one fragile agreement: work together, or fall apart alone. But healing isn't part of the mission. Between government pressure, buried pasts, and missions that blur the line between right and wrong, every member of the team is fighting something far more dangerous than the enemies they're sent to face-each other. And sometimes, survival looks a lot like becoming something you swore you'd never be again. And Sometimes the darkness just gets to be too much.

Won an award. Poems get better with time lapsed since my abstinence. Your mind is a burning room, a drowning storm, and a torturing fairy-tale all at once. Now, descend through its layers and discover what waits in the one place even the flames can't reach. Sad Sundays is my weekly space to share melancholic poetry, words that help me navigate the stillness, the weight, and the quiet storms of recovery. Each Sunday, I post a new piece that I've written, using poetry to process my journey through detox and rehab, to face the difficult parts of healing, and to find meaning in the silence. Every poem is written by hand with help from the Rhymezone platform. This series is as much for me as it is for anyone who finds comfort in knowing they're not alone on their gray days. I will eventually try to tie most of my work together into a larger piece, but first and foremost, this will function as a collection of my writings while I am going through detox. There may be an underlying story, but perhaps not. Find out weekly, and join me for a Sad Sunday moment. New Upload every Sunday at 18:00 (6 PM) German time - CET/CEST (UTC+1/UTC+2).

Pretender Series || Salazar Cousins #5 Avoidant. She had always been like this. A girl that plays around and never been serious with her relationships. But when she fell in love, she masked that feeling instead of confessing. Gusto nila ang isa't isa pero, lagi na lang siyang umiiwas, iniiba usapan. Kasi pakiramdam niya, hindi sila bagay sa isa't isa. Why would someone so kind and gentle want a rebellious, always angry, always running person like her? She even called his belief stupid yet, he never got mad at her. It made her uncomfortable. How could someone stay despite her flaws and mistakes? How could someone find heaven beneath the flame?

A testament to a life displayed through the cracks in its shell.

I have spent four hundred and twelve thousand dollars finding out that men are terrible. Not all men. Just the ones who wanted my daughter. I kept a spreadsheet. Color-coded. Red for the ones who asked for money outright. Yellow for the ones who pretended they didn't. There was never a green row. My name is Robert Halloway. I built a shipping empire from a single leased truck. I have one child. Everything else is negotiable. That is not. For eleven years I hired a man named Dale to sit outside restaurants and dig into the lives of the men who approached Elena. I became very good at discovering what people wanted. It was always the money. Then a stranger returned a lost check for a six-figure sum, refused the reward, and asked that it be donated to a children's hospital instead. His name was Marcus Webb. He fixed old Harleys in a one-man garage and claimed he wanted nothing more from life. I went to meet him myself. What followed forced me to confront the one question I had never asked in eleven years of background checks: What does a man keep when there is nothing left to hide it with? A story about money, control, the limits of a father's love, and the quiet kind of integrity that only appears when no one is watching.
