In the world of international crimes, civil uprisings, attempted coups, airline accidents, and a myriad other highly publicized events act as mere distractions to great heists. Billions are siphoned off as the public is glued to their screens and live-tweeting their consternation away and the police are running around in their little feet trying to save the world. 
  ***
  The Consultant is a major cartel player in the East African alternate corridors of power. A major consignment of game trophy is destined for the kiln in an internationally publicised incineration. The Consultant thinks otherwise. The Kenya Paramilitary Services in a massive, countrywide strike will be his distraction. 
  ***
  Victor has wanted to become a superspy all his life. However, agency red tape and incompetence has wasted a year of his life and crushed his dreams. When he came up with the idea for the mass action, the last thing he expected was wild success. There was no way that he could have guessed that disruptive cartel action would sabotage his mister-goody-two-shoes intentions either.  
  ***
  D-DAY
  An unexpected change of plans by the logistics team from the Kenya Wildlife Services and UN's Habitat throws a screw into The Consultant's scheme. Even with his good connections and people, pulling this off smoothly will be a tall order. 
  You bet. 
  In the culmination of an exhilarating 24 hours where Victor wins the National Wrestling Championship, incites a branch of the disciplined forces to strike, steals a police vehicle, and sabotages a military operation, he must stop the greatest heist of game trophy ever executed in the history of world anti-poaching efforts.

Special Agent Alyssa Caine has been tasked with the most important mission of her life: the assassination of the man who would bring about the end of the world. The only problem? He is already dead. A minor issue that is resolved in the year 2157 when a renegade group of scientists develops a device that allows to jump through time. They recruit the former special agent to send her back fifty years, to take just one man out of the equation, a minimal change with a predicted maximal effect on the fate of the world, and prevent a devastating war that has driven the last surviving humans to live in decrepit underground bunkers. Every action has a consequence. Alyssa is humanity's last hope, and her actions will determine the fate of the whole world. She is willing to sacrifice everything for a better future. But she soon realizes that the impact of her actions might be beyond her control, and beyond all predictions. _____ Highest Rankings: #16 in Science [06.02.2019] #36 in Dystopia [06.02.2019] #65 in FemaleProtagonist [01.02.2019] #71 in TimeTravel [06.02.2019] #1 in Paradox [28.02.2019] #1 in ONC2019 [01.02.2019] #3 in OpenNovellaContest2019 [28.02.2019] This is my entry for the ONC 2019!

The Analyst's Nightmare (Mission Impossible 4) by FroggieShroom4
20 parts Complete
"This message will self destruct in 5 seconds." He turned to look at me, a quizzical expression covering his features. "No, no, no, no! Don't give me that look I know what that means!" I said, defensively. What is it that one does hours before when the Kremlin's intact but once you leave having failed your original objective, it implodes causing the entire world to heap its destruction onto your shoulders, in turn making Russian agents track you down over a series of nations, borders and buildings which simultaneously reveals your actual heritage and the whereabouts of your Mother of whom, you'd been lead to believe died a long time ago? Nope didn't think you had an answer to that. And frankly, neither do I. I manage to get myself so caught up in much of this tangible work that I don't even have a plan of action. I just go with the flow I guess. It's either that or I'm incredibly talented and charismatic. I personally, think it's the latter but I'll leave that decision up to you. The IMF will stop at nothing to get the answers even if the rest of the organisation has been disavowed, having had Ghost Protocol initiated. But that begs the question, can a certain analyst aid them in their efforts? Or is he too, hiding something which goes deeper than anyone initially thought? Join Miles and the rest (or remaining) members of the IMF as they travel the world to stop a nuclear explosion from damaging humanity...

Disaster-in-Waiting NOW AVAILABLE TO BUY ON AMAZON by ElleMThomas
3 parts Complete Mature
WARNING R-RATED Disaster-in-Waiting was a dream come true for me. Firstly writing it and then sharing it on here and receiving such a wonderful response to it. It was because of the support and encouragement on here that I finally took the decision to self-publish as an e-book. It is available on Amazon and can be read for free on there with Kindle Unlimited. ****Mature audience only due to adult themes; sex, language and situations**** Eloise Ross is married to Michael, her much older and recently retired husband. He fills his days with golf and walking the dog, while she fills her days working as a newly appointed P.A. to the CEO of an international company. One night, disillusioned with her sexless marriage she goes out alone, drinks beer and dances with a handsome stranger. The moves on the dance floor quickly lead to passion and excitement like El has never known, but it was only one night, one time. Just that once couldn't mean anything, could it? Just that once changed her view on everything she'd ever thought she'd known or valued; her home, family, husband and marriage, but most of all herself. As her life begins to unravel, with twists and turns that make her laugh, cry and despair El has only one constant to hang onto, her handsome stranger. "Because I don't want to end it. I'm not exactly what you'd call experienced," I said with a warm flush creeping up my cheeks. "I thought everything I had, with Michael was an ideal life until that night, when I met you and something switched inside me, a realisation that it was as far from ideal as anything ever could be. I don't think I'm being clear here, sorry. I am not trying to pin my happiness or the consequences of this on you, God, I don't even call you by your first name so to expect anything of you is not realistic!"
Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ✔️ by Soulwithapen

"Her troubled eyes held fire. The kind of fire that was capable of burning me to ash." ***** I grabbed her chin with my free hand, making her look at me. "I hate that I don't know you. I hate not being a part of your life, like I was before." I leaned a little closer, as her intoxicating scent filled my lungs. "Trust me, I can't hate you, no matter how hard I tried." "So you have... " It came out as more of a question than a statement from her as she looked at me with her big blue eyes. "What?" I frowned, dropping my hand from her chin and grabbing her hand, instead. "You have tried hating me then?" She asked, tilting her head to the side. This time it sounded more like a statement than a question. "I have." I sighed, dropping my head in shame. "And it made me lose the most important person in my life." ***** One night. What harm can one night do? It can change lives. Turn best friends into enemies. Turn someone's life upside down. Emily Waters and Ryder Green, were inseparable, joint to the hip, always had each others back and loved each other behind the best friend facade. But one night changed it all. He thinks he has changed for worse but what he doesn't know is that Emily has changed for the worst.

Delayed Diagnosis {Book 1 of the Rex Obasi Trilogy} by bohemianpengame
67 parts Complete
"What is your predicament?" he repeated slowly I was getting pissed. My predicament is; I led my coworker and friend to an early grave, my fiancé if I dare call her that, was gallivanting around God knows where, doing God knows what. I had never even seen or held a gun all my life but in less than 48 hours I've somehow managed to stare down the barrel of a gun. I also endangered my family and anyone foolish enough to call me a friend and not too long ago I put an innocent woman, someone's grandmother in ICU. "What's your predicament?" Short legs asked again, spacing his words slowly as if each held a double meaning. My brain clicked suddenly; "I have delayed diagnosis" He nodded briefly. "Welcome. I'm Doctor Rasheed". ::::::::::::::::::::: Rex Obasi was just an average banker struggling to deal with his fiance dissapearing after eight years. In a crazed moment of greed, he steals valuable documents worth millions but there's something else in the mix; a piece of paper containing numbers - coordinates he doesn't understand. When the coordinates lead to a deadly human trafficking ring, operating under the guise of an N.G.O, Rex realizes he has stumbled on what is no doubt the most dangerous organized crime, operating since 1989. His life of deposit slips and checkbooks are turned upside down, now it's guns and bullets, knives and assassins. It's up to Rex to put an end to it, redeem his conscience, and just maybe he could get a second shot at love. But there's every possibility that a bullet is coming next.
SHADOW LOTUS by Lilyfictions
3 parts Ongoing
ATEEZ MAFIAXIDOL AU FICTIONAL CHARACTER S/O s "The closer you get to fire, the more you learn whether you're meant to burn - or reign." They call it The Morrígna. An ancient name reborn in a new world, whispered through underground channels and encoded networks, feared in boardrooms and revered in alleyways. Some think it's just a legend. A fabricated tale of femme fatales and phantom vigilantes. A cult, a syndicate, an empire of shadows that never leaves fingerprints. But they exist - and they are watching. They had rules. No distractions. No outsiders. No weakness - especially not in love. But fate had other plans. Meanwhile, in the light, eight boys were rewriting the future of music. ATEEZ - bold, bright, beloved by millions. Leaders on stage, brothers off it. None of them knew the worlds they would collide with. None of them knew that love doesn't always come in soft packages. Not when it comes with switchblades and security clearances. Not when it rides a Ducati at 3 a.m. and smiles like sin. Not when it knows your blood type before you know her last name. It started innocently. A conversation. A brush of eyes. That was all it took. One moment - and the lives of eight men began to entangle with the women who didn't believe in second chances, or soft endings. And as the shadows moved closer to the stage lights, both sides would have to make a choice. Stay in the safety of ignorance. Or fall - recklessly, irrevocably - into the fire. This is not just a love story. It's a war waged in stolen glances and silenced guns, where trust is the most dangerous weapon... and love? The ultimate betrayal. Everything written here is purely fictional. Plagiarism is a crime. Even though I am not a professional please don't copy my work. I have worked hard for this. Cover design by me please don't copy
