Based on the characters from thriller-writer Edgar Wallace's (1875-1932) "Four Just Men" series, this story explores what happens when Maria of Gratz, former leader of the Anarchist group the Red Hundred, returns to London in 1924 to escape her enemies on the continent of Europe. It is now 16 years since she and her Red Army tried to destroy London and only the Four Just Men were able to stop her. In revenge, Maria then betrayed George Manfred, the Just Men's leader, to the English police. Now Maria is back, swearing her love for George, but although he believes she has reformed, his two colleagues Raymond Poiccart and Leon Gonsalez do not -- and neither does Leon's young wife Mirabelle Leicester. With the British economy in crisis and the General Strike just over the horizon, Maria's rabble-rousing skills look set to stir up revolution in the streets and disaster for the country. Can Raymond, Leon and Mirabelle stop Maria from destroying Britain, and their leader George?
This story continues the story from 'The Girl from Heavytree Farm' and is continued in 'Four Days in October'.All Rights Reserved

BACK TO THE PAST: The rise of the false heiress Maryying the true tycoon by Kimyun_lee36

Guzi transmigrated into a novel and became a character in a story about a true and false rich heiress. While others who transmigrated into novels become the true heiress, she became the fake heiress. To make matters worse, both she and the true heiress are engaged. She was engaged to the son of a military leader, while the true heiress was engaged to a divorced man with three children from his previous marriage. Guzi's parents, caring for the true heiress, decide to have Guzi marry in her place. In the book, the character "Guzi" was furious and attempted suicide but failed. As a result, she lost the love and favor of her parents. After marrying the divorced man, "Guzi" blamed him for all the wrongdoings and mistreated his children. Eventually, he could no longer tolerate her actions and divorced her. "Guzi" would become a destitute beggar and die miserably on the street. After transmigrating into the book, Guzi left her family and married the divorced man. When she faced the man and his three children, Guzi believed that the original owner of her body made a terrible mistake. This was a painless experience of being a mother without any hardships to endure! On the other hand, the true heiress had to deal with her husband's illegitimate child and fight for family assets. She would lead a daily life full of hardships. The true heiress consoled herself, thinking that she was still better off than Guzi. She had to raise someone else's child and care for an old man. However, one day she sees Guzi stepping out of a luxurious car with a protruding belly, supported by the richest man in the city. Looking aggrieved, Guzi got out of the car and said, "We agreed not to have children!" The man beside her responded tenderly, "Sorry, my mistake."

The Will To by woodlander8

Will is a slut. At least, according to everyone else she is. With a past that both defines her and won't let her go, Will has had enough of the name-calling and assumptions. She's decided to use it all as fuel to get what she wants: to take down Reid Reynolds. Reid is a "bad boy" (a term that makes Will's eyes cross into oblivion) and he represents everything that Will despises. He is a TA in one of her university classes, making her plan even easier. She has an entire year to follow through with her agenda. No problem. It's all under control. Except it isn't. When women start getting assaulted on campus, everything Will is running from begins to catch up with her. She will inevitably have to face it--and decide if getting revenge on the bad boy will actually get her what she wants. NaNoWriMo2021 Warnings: sexual assault, mentions of rape, and stalking.

Spiral Knot (An Office Dark Romance) by Averyaaaaaa

"Now my job is on the line, and Opal and Ivy is about to lose the contract. It wouldn't even take you a damn minute to sign it and get it over with. But no, you choose to play your little power games and refuse to sign. And now you've had the audacity to sue me? You think you can sue me, Gabriel? After everything you did to me, you think you can sue me? I should have done more than just hit you. I should have grabbed your balls, crushed them, made the server fry them, and fed them to your precious employees and then watched them eat it-" I stopped abruptly, my breathing heavy and ragged, my eyes locked onto his face. Gabriel had stopped typing, his fingers frozen above the keyboard. But what really held my attention were his eyes. One was a pale, almost ghostly grey with flecks of hazel, while the other was a deep, warm hazel. A flicker of amusement danced across his features, and he let out a low, almost mocking laugh. Dimples. "Crush my balls?" "No... I... uh meant that-" I straightened up, trying to regain my composure. "I didn't really mean your balls." ♤♤♤♤♤♤♤♤ Daphne Hawthorne was living her best life as a recent graduate until she met a mysterious Spanish man with hazel eyes and a flirty smile. It didn't take long before she found herself giving in to him completely, opening her legs and indulging in everything he wanted. Their relationship quickly grew, leading to marriage, but just four months in, her life fell apart, leaving her broken beyond repair. Three years later, Daphne crosses paths with another mysterious man who bears an uncanny resemblance to her ex-husband, who left her broken. This man, however, isn't who she thinks he is, and as their worlds collide, there's a chance he may soon become her new boss - a possibility that could have her opening her legs to him too all over again, just like she once did before. Trust me, you don't want to miss it. (18+ rated ❤️ ) I update this story daily, so trust me

I do not own the story of Motherland: Fort Salem. Only the original characters are my own. TW - some chapters do contain strong language, depictions of death or more. If this is the case I will inform you at the beginning of the chapter, from there read at own risk. Of course, I understand that RaellexScylla is a big part of this story and I don't remove that, I simply add and play with it. Saying that, this is not a RaellexScylla focused story.
