Title: The Hidden Pain of the Villainess "What happens when the 'villainess' refuses to play her part-without even knowing she's a character in a story?" He was supposed to discard me. He was supposed to leave me in the wreckage of his ambition. I am Sanya Raghuvamsh, the cold-hearted villainess of this CRISWEN city, and I am a prisoner in my own life. Bound by a nightmare marriage to Dravya Raizada-a man whose obsession is as suffocating as his touch-I exist in a world that demands my silence. I am broken, hollow, and blind to the truth: that I am nothing more than a puppet, dancing on strings held by a script I never wrote and I never imagined to even exist. But something has shifted. Marco, the only man who sees through the mask, carries a secret that defies reality-a soul from another world determined to drag me off-script. With Aarav, a shadow in the digital world, we are fighting for a freedom we were never meant to have. But the story is fighting back. The shadows are hungry, and Dravya... Dravya doesn't just want my compliance. He wants my soul, my secrets, and my total surrender. He is the master of this narrative, and he has no intention of letting his favorite villainess walk away. The script demands a tragedy. I'm planning a massacre. A dark, obsessive tale where the villain has found his favorite toy-and the toy has finally decided to bite back.

𝐒𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 Imani, a skilled Padawan on the brink of becoming a Jedi at 27, and her close companion, Osha-three years her junior-share a bond forged through years of training and survival. As orphans taken in by the Jedi Order, they grew up side by side, honing their skills and following the path of the light. Yet their shared journey is tinged with a shadow, one that has lingered in Imani's heart since childhood. The two former Padawans are unexpectedly reunited with their old Jedi Master to investigate a string of violent crimes on the edge of the galaxy. But as they delve deeper, they uncover forces darker and more sinister than they ever imagined-forces that resonate eerily with Imani's long-buried fears. Imani's nightmares have haunted her for as long as she can remember, visions of a tragic war that claimed her parents and left her an orphan. These dreams, vivid and unrelenting, are always marked by the presence of a figure cloaked in shadow. A man with a dark helmet, a menacing aura, and a crimson lightsaber that burns into her vision. At first, she dismissed these nightmares as echoes of her trauma. But as her connection to the Force deepened, Imani began to suspect the truth: these were not mere dreams-they were visions. Visions of the future. The mysterious Sith she saw night after night was no specter of the past but a harbinger of the dark destiny awaiting her. Adding to her burden is her twin sister, Mae, who diverged from the path of the Jedi. Where Imani and Osha embraced the light, Mae chose a far darker path, one that threatens to intersect with the very forces Imani fears most. As Imani & Osha's investigation brings them closer to the source of the crimes-and closer to the Sith who has haunted her visions-Imani is forced to confront the possibility that her nightmares are warning of the battles to come.

Rumors. Everywhere, in schools, offices, neighborhoods, playgrounds, parks, everywhere. They say numerous students went missing. All after one occurring event: the ice cream truck. They say they hear the ice cream truck driving slowly down the road at 12:00 a.m. - playing a happy song they used to hear when they were children. Only now, eerie and ghastly. Police tried searching everywhere, but it was as if the students had vanished. Vanished into thin air. Thankfully, this happened 10 years ago, and I was told they found the students a couple of months after. Plus, I live miles and miles away from where it all happened.

This story unfolds in ancient Greece. For centuries, a prophecy spoke of the Chosen One-a man destined to rise, fight, and bring peace to his homeland. Yet after two hundred years, no such hero had appeared. Meanwhile, enemies of the land rejoiced, hunting and killing any man who showed signs of magic or power. Theron Alexandros was one such man-though he did not yet understand the strength he carried. Born and raised on a humble farm by a devoted mother, he was her world. She would have done anything to keep him safe, even give her own life. When she fell to a chronic illness, she entrusted him to the world, leaving him to survive, work, and earn his way. Determined to have a wife-even if love did not bind them-Theron arranged a marriage of convenience. The girl's father, a man in the neighboring town, agreed to sell his daughter for a fortune of one million gold coins. And so, by fate and circumstance, two very different paths were set on a collision course, their lives intertwined in ways neither could foresee.
