In the city of Nomolos, where people have no names, a girl finds out why her world is what it is. Why nobody has names. Why they are all branded on their arms with a number. Why no one remembers anything about themselves, their past and how they got here in the first place. Why the government is so overprotective and secretive about everything. Why no one can leave or enter the city. All she knows is that her arm is branded with a number 6; one of the five missing numbers in her society.

What It Could Have Been
I've been waiting for this moment for over a year now. Hoping, dreaming, holding onto the picture in my mind what life could be like. I always thought this would never come. Thinking it's impossible for me to have a new start. Go to a new place, see new faces, meet new people. It always felt like walking through a desert with a map drawn in water. But even then, I never let go of my dream. I would close my eyes and imagine everything. How different I would feel waking up in the morning, how light my chest would feel, how more confident and comfortable I would feel. I was kind of writing my own little story in my head. And now, I'm just one zip of my suitcase away and my story will be coming to life. ------------------------------- Venus Jennings didn't just leave Harbor Ridge, she escaped it. Haunted by loss and chased by memories she can't outrun. Venus builds a quiet new life in a new town where no one knows her name or the pain she carries. She wants a fresh start in hopes to finding something she's never truly had: Peace, freedom, and maybe even love. Lucas Solace is the last person Venus thought she would ever cross paths with. He's kind, sincere, incredibly handsome and impossible to ignore. He's everything Venus believes she doesn't deserve. With his charm and persistence she slowly catches herself falling for him. She doesn't want to because trust and love doesn't come easy to her when the past she's running from still haunts her in ways she can't explain . But she wonders if letting him in might not be so dangerous after all. As Venus begins to open up to new possibilities, shadows of her past resurface forcing her to confront the reality she's been avoiding instead of just accepting to be free.Complete
To Hell
She was supposed to get better. He was supposed to disappear. They were all supposed to forget. But nothing stays buried forever. Especially not the kind of secrets that leave teeth marks. In a city built on silence and sin, five broken strangers are dragged back into the orbit of a man they thought was dead. Each carries their own trauma, their own rage, their own crimes. Each one marked. Each one watched. Each one chosen. There's the therapist who weaponizes grief. The girl who survived and became the monster. The boy who turned pain into poetry-and then into war. The cult leader who doesn't believe in forgiveness. And the one with blood on her tongue and no name left to pray with. A list has surfaced. And their names are on it. Crossed out. Carved in. Waiting. This isn't a love story. It's a reckoning. A spiral into obsession, violence, memory, and manipulation. Read it only if you can handle: Therapy sessions that turn abusive. Confessions that turn deadly. Love that turns into a knife. You've been warned.Complete
Left Behind
She was on her way to the spaceport, to board a shuttle that would take her to one of the spacecrafts that will carry all the humans off world... or so she thought.

From here on, it's not about "what" she finds, but "how" she finds herself. Left behind is a short story that tells about a successful woman who's destiny is different than what she thought. In a mass-eviction of a doomed earth, she's the one left behind. She has to cope with things she never would have thought she would.Complete

Under Your Watch: Bulletproof Lies (On-Going)
He was born into the shadows. She was raised to uncover them. In a world where loyalty is bought with blood and silence is survival, their paths were never meant to cross. He was the quiet, cold son of a mafia family-someone who'd learned early that emotions were weaknesses best buried. She, on the other hand, was everything he wasn't: bright, kind, and fearless, a girl who smiled through the cruelty of others, even when her name was whispered with envy and hate. Her classmates despised her brilliance, mocked her joy, and tore her down in ways that left invisible scars. But while she stood alone against it all, she never knew someone had been watching-someone who made sure every hand raised against her never went unpunished. He protected her from the shadows, fought for her without ever being seen, and somewhere between the silence and violence, something inside him began to change. But time has a way of turning light into distance. Years later, he's the ruthless successor to his family's empire. She's a secret agent, trained to bring down that very same empire. Neither recognizes the other-until a mission gone wrong exposes her, and he takes her captive. Now, behind locked doors and under his watch, lies and truth blur like gunfire in the night. Between the crosshairs of duty and desire, they'll discover that the most dangerous kind of love... is the one you're forbidden to have.
When the world Ends Twice
The sky bled red as the world cracked and burned. Five Hargreeves stood among the ashes of the apocalypse, the weight of forty years of solitude etched into his sharp, tired eyes. He was no longer the seasoned man who had fought tooth and nail to survive-no, he was back in the fragile body of a seventeen-year-old boy. His family, the powerful Hargreeves siblings, had been scattered, each carrying their own burdens and regrets. And yet, Five carried a heavier one: the knowledge that the apocalypse would always follow them. But this story isn't just about Five. It's about you. You weren't anyone special-not in the grand, chaotic web of time and space that Five navigated. You weren't one of Sir Reginald Hargreeves' extraordinary children. You didn't bend time or manipulate soundwaves or summon the dead. You were just... you. A teenager with trembling hands and an addiction to cheap cigarettes. A girl whose eyes carried more shadows than light. And yet, you became tangled in their mess because of your father-one of the Handler's most trusted agents. That's how you met Five.Complete
