The Demon's Embrace(ON HOLD)
41 parts Ongoing MatureThrown out of her elite family home as a teenager for getting pregnant, Charissa has spent years juggling multiple jobs to support her genius son, Leo. The only person in her corner is Emily, her loyal and guilt-ridden best friend, who blames herself for taking Charissa to the party that changed her life.
Just when Charissa thinks things can't get worse, she loses everything-her jobs, her stability, her control. Then Blackwood Inc. comes knocking, forcefully offering her a job she can't refuse. But Blackwood is no ordinary company. Shadows linger in the corridors, demons hide behind human faces, and her enigmatic boss isn't just intimidating-he's a demon.
And the cherry on this nightmare sundae? He's also Leo's father.
As attacks from hell escalate, targeting Leo for his unique half-demon lineage, Charissa is thrust into a supernatural storm that reveals secrets about herself she never imagined. She's not just human but an Essentrix, a being with the power to absorb emotions, energy, even souls. Torn between protecting her son, navigating a dangerous underworld, and keeping Emily blissfully unaware of the chaos, Charissa must discover the truth about her powers-and herself-before it's too late.
Dark forces are closing in. A mother's love is unyielding. And Charissa will do anything to protect her son... even if it means becoming the monster they fear.
