"Why won't you just let me die!?", Alex yelled at him, but it was the same expressionless face. But then, it slowly started to melt. And the next moment, tears were streaming down his cheeks.
"Because I made a promise to your mom to make sure nothing happens to you!", he finally managed to choke out. But before Alex even got a chance to ask more, the freezing cold and blood loss knocked him out...
-------------------------
Alex believes that there is nothing beyond him and his billionaire life... nothing beyond his mansion in NYC. But he is very wrong... when his family invites him to China, he goes happily, unaware that nothing will ever be the same... unaware, that he has more enemies than he knows...
Next thing he knows... he is stranded on one of the most deadly peaks on the planet. As if that weren't bad enough, that peak is in a country which doesn't have much of a good reputation.
Read as he battles not only physical factors, but emotional ones as well. Read, as he is shown the world as it is without the cloak of media... all while having a very unlikely companion...

Stalked By A Serial Killer
"How do you feel now, Morgan?" She says, more pointing something out than asking a question. She grabs hold of my wrists and tightens them. If I could see properly I could swear I see them turn purple. "I could beat you to the bone, right here, right now, till you die from your injuries. But, I won't. You will die. Maybe not today, maybe not in a month, but you will." Well, obviously I'm going to die. Humans don't live forever. "Wonder why?" "No, and I really don't care." She answers anyway. "Because we have the power, the people, and the weapons to do it. Face it, you're defenseless against us." I feel some blood flooding my mouth, so I, being a perfectly nice person, spit it in her face. That doesn't faze her at all. "I have the strength and intelligence, something you clearly don't have. Whatever y'all do to me, it won't break me. I will put up a hell of a fight before losing. I will fight, and I will win." I turn over and look at her fellow companions. "Even if I die doing it." "Is that a risk you're willing to take?" ____________________________________ 17 year old Morgan Peters is an average girl living life.

All The Little Lights
"You are kidding me, right?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. "Do I seem like I am kidding?" "No, you don't. But I also don't feel that I will listen to you." I said, giving him my infamous innocent smile Me!!! Clean his shoes?!! Who in the hell does he think he is?!! "You will. These shoes are limited edition pieces of one of the world's most expensive brands. Being the gentleman I am, I am not making you buy me a new one. I need you to clean it. Simple." "Do I look like I care? Oh..Look..my cup of care is empty." I said, motioning to the now empty coffee cup in my hands. He looked at me, then to my hands. Slowly, he nodded his head in understanding. Next thing I know, I am drenched in water, and he is closing the water bottle in his hands. I looked at him with my mouth agape. "You're right. I can see your cup of care is empty, but, seems like it is brimming with arrogance." With that, he walked away while I stood there thinking of a thousand torturous ways to kill him. Fantastic!! Just another addition to my list of paybacks. ------------------------------------- They two are nothing but mere strangers put together by the hands of fate, and they couldn't help but have to bear the unwanted presence of each other in their life, a little longer. After all, what could possibly go wrong? Sit back and enjoy, for this is going to be one hell of a ride ;) **************** Rated mature. *contains violenceComplete
Trigger
✎ "I could've killed you that night and I didn't. I had my gun to your head ready to drain the life from you, but I didn't." His eyes averted mine, and I saw an opening in them, something I wouldn't even have considered looking for if I was still overcome by anger. "Why didn't you?" I asked, watching him as he began to play with his sleeve cuffs in a way that I knew was unique to him. "Because I know what it's like to fight for something you love. Killing you would have just made me no different than another monster who lost themselves in the fight." He continued, "And I saw something in you I haven't seen in myself in a while- fire." ✎ Two unlikely allies ─ a fiery, hot-headed spy and a slick, calculating conman ─ are forced to team up to track down a dangerous criminal and uncover why sensitive information is being leaked. But as their pursuit pulls them deeper into a web of betrayal and deception, they discover that the whistleblower is just the beginning. Hidden in the shadows lies a not-so-human world-and with it, a truth neither of them is prepared to face. Along the way, their undeniable (yet endlessly denied) attraction threatens to ignite, even as the world around them begins to unravel.
Perfect Storm
___________________________ "You were mine the second you put your signature on that contract." He looked at me with pure lust and dominance in his eyes. "F*ck you." He smirks and moves closer to me, coming to my side of the booth and caging me against the window. "I'll give you what you want if you do." "And what do I want?" I question, holding eye contact. "My head between your legs." ❀❀❀ "Dating or not... you're still mine." Astoria always thought that the world was set up a certain way. That way being two levels of living.

The Outer Reach// Volume 1// Part 1
You should be advised that nothing about my life is going to make any sense. Sorry, but that is just the cold, horrifying, acid trip horror show that is my life. So without hesitation, I'm just going to lay it all out for you and let you decide what to do from there. Strange Fact #1: I was found naked in a cave when I was less than a week old in the summer of 1629. I should also let you know that I stopped aging at the age of twenty five. So, I have currently been twenty five years old for four hundred and two years, with no sign of ever changing. I don't know why. I don't know how. Acid trip horror show... Strange Fact #2: I can't be killed. I mean, I'm sure I could be killed if someone really put their heart into it, but I have been burned alive, ran over, shot in the chest, stabbed through the heart and fallen off the edge of a cliff, and I've walked away completely fine every time. It hurt, obviously, but in minutes I was back to normal. Strange Fact #3: I'm not alone.Complete
Quarantine Madness
It all started with some virus, i think. Some nasty bug that got off the Wuhan express and left the world locked up in their own homes. I didn't care though. Hell, i liked the peace and quiet: No damn girl scouts knocking on my door asking for cash, less traffic, and more beer for me down at the local pub. Yes-sir-ee no complaints here. Well...That was before some sick fuck came along and decided,"hey maybe i should start mercilessly slaughtering people. That'd be a great use of everyone's time." Anyway lets get this shit show on the road. The name's Duke van Dukhevic, my friends call me duke. You unfortunately aren't one of them, but cheer up, if you shut, listen and do as i say.... ...You still wont be my friend; but you would have had a experience so new and exhilarating, it would make for a great story. Anyway, lets get started....Complete
Resurgence
WORK IN PROGRESS‼️ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── There was no noise; I was at peace, and ironically, the stone-cold pavement never seemed warmer as my blood oozed out of me and around me like a painted canvas. I was slowly losing consciousness, but my mind never seemed happier now that I was dying. The white walls with big bright lights did not resemble heaven; in fact, it was quite the opposite. I thought I had died. When I came to, I found myself in this strange place, disoriented and confused. I looked around and found another five pairs of eyes looking at me with the same emotion swirling in their gaze. Now, 15 years later, I train with these girls. Our makers take care of us, feed us, and make sure we are clean, healthy, and fit. Some of us never had that; that's probably why it took so long for us to realize we were being used. The dirty work they made us do, none of us questioned it. How could we when we were taken off the streets? For a chance at normalcy, we settled for anything, even if that meant blurring the lines of right and wrong. After a mission gone haywire, we started noticing, and now we strike back to take our voices and reclaim the power that was used on us as a way to control us. After all, they are the ones who trained us; we are just returning our long-overdue favour. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Rankings : Featured in Mystery-thriller #5 in Mystery-thriller on 7/12/24
You V.S. Mafia
[COMPLETED] "Shoot," Joey mumbles, letting out a string of profanities under his breath. We turn around to find a group of men, all with guns, standing where we just came from, and they look pissed... probably because they were forced to run through this tunnel after us. "Thought you could get away, didn't you?" The man who I saw before asks. His husky voice booms in the hollow tunnel, reverberating off of the dirt walls. His voice sounds familiar, and a realization strikes me. It sounds like the man from my dream. I remember him holding a gun and wearing a blue suit, smiling evilly at me. "Leave us alone," Joey says, sounding dangerous and snapping me out of my thoughts. The levity of the situation hits-we need to get out of here. I look around for a route of escape and thankfully I see a light, literally, at the end of the second tunnel. I let out a small, almost inaudible, gasp and nudge Joey. He looks at me and I subtly gesture with my head to the second tunnel. He glances at it and immediately we are on the same page. His jaw sets and he looks at the group. The man speaks up again, chuckling darkly-a sound I will never forget and will be permanently etched into my brain, "You can thank your father for starting this mess." -------------------------- Liza was a normal teenaged girl, living the average life that an eighteen year old girl should be living. She had good friends, good grades, a happy family, a loving boyfriend, and an overall content life, seemingly having everything a person could ask for. However, when she somehow gets thrown into the mix and is in the crossfires of a brutal mafia war that she has no business being a part of, things spiral out of control and she has to do whatever it takes to regain her freedom. In this hectic adventure of gun fights, torture, bank robbing and intimidating mafia men, Liza has to face it all, putting her average life on the line in order to defeat the bad guys and go back to her normal way of living.Complete
