Dan, a self-proclaimed self-taught software and cybersecurity specialist has been living his life in luxury, until he took a bite at a company far bigger than what he can chew. The world is slowly closing in on him, his schemes and his exploits, and the only way to leap away from the trap so carefully planted for him by the governing bodies from who he's been stealing is to finish this final job, get his payday, and disappear. Can he outrun Ubisoft, one of the biggest gaming giants of his time, in creating a fully immersive, insanely detailed and industry-shattering VRMMORPG for Sony, to outrun all of his problems whilst his real life is falling apart, in his biggest adventure yet?
An adult take on teenagers coming into the dangerous cruel world of business, black, white and everything in between, the boundaries of madness and motivation that so closely follow the tech and media industries, and one genius of a kid that navigates this mess seemingly alone, lost in the ocean of moving parts around him whilst things quickly get out of hand.
This is my first book, so please try and be patient with me XD. Feedback always welcome. Will update at least once a week.
Enjoy the story.
Peace out x

'For The Mafia' Series - Book 1 of 3! ~~~ "Down on your knees." He lets go of my hair and pushes my shoulders down roughly, before unbuttoning and shrugging off his shirt. I kneel in front of him and instantly unbuckle his belt and unzip his black pants. He watches me eagerly from above, keeping his hands to his side, letting me lead. "Are you jealous when I flirt with those men for information?" I bat my eyes up at him innocently as I pull his pants down to his knees. His face hardens as he considers my question. "I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me." He growls as he pulls my head forward, closing the space between us. ~~~ When a dangerous mafia leader meets this particular stripper, he learns she is anything but. Both equally ruthless and thirsting for power, he hires her as his lethal interrogator and assassin, however she quickly becomes more when neither can resist each other.

Infatuation | A CEO And A Photographer
"I think Mr.knights has anger issues." Just as those words slipped out from my mouth Mr.knights turned and in the blink of an eye, I was slammed against a wall with great force while taking both my hands above my head with just one hand and caging me fully into him. I felt the chills ran down my esophagus and my head started making involuntary shakes as I started taking short breaths. A numbness creeped into my brain. You're doomed! I thought. His dark black eyes were staring right into mine as if they can see through me. I felt naked, I felt cold yet scared under his eyes. My chest rose up and down due to the decrease in my oxygen intake. "I think that .. was a mistake" I mumbled. It's not funny. my inner self warned. "Button your lips unless you want me to fuck that little smart mouth of yours," he said in a very lower and husky tone at the same time maintaining eye contact. I gulped. "I'm flattered that you admitted I'm smart," I said. He smirked. Not good villa. "Well, you asked for it" he hissed. What. I asked for what? Well, you shouldn't have run your mouth villa. My inner self spoke. Because he slammed His lips directly on mine as his body started pressing against me as tones of electricity passed from him entered my body. ---------------------------------------------------- Ashton Knights is a billionaire before the son of America. he's 27 and is adored by every American and he practically grew with media. he's mysterious, dark, possessive, mature, and rude but gentle yet beautiful.

Obsession (1) ✔
Season 1 - A Dark Tale Of Love. "You're new, who did you kill to get this spot?" Her nonchalant face failed to mask her curiosity. I smirked. "Many people or your father wouldn't have hired me." I was a cold blooded killer and I was being paid millions to kill. ------------------------- Elena is a daughter of a Billionaire. A seductress who has mafias and mob bosses wrapped around her finger. Her curves infatuated Princes from all around the world but she didn't care to be a Princess. She wanted guns and knives, not tiaras and titles. Gabriel, however, is a trained killer. An Ex-Navy Seal, a deadly sniper. He could kill anyone from miles away with just one shot. A knee injury took him out from the line of duty and now he'll do anything to get to the top. It was his time now and no one was going to get in his ruthless ways. What Gabriel didn't expect was Elena. From the minute, he saw her, he couldn't get her out of his mind and the only way to get over her was to get inside her. Unfortunately, it drove him even madder and he wanted more. He was greedy for her. Every killer had an obsession and Elena became his. Gabriel thought of himself as the devil and he just found his hell, there was no way he was letting her go, even if he had to kill everyone, including her own father. Editor: @CamileWilsonTerminé

Beta || Iancorn (NaNoWriMo 2018)
David Moss was a self-proclaimed video game expert. He felt like there was nothing anyone could do to beat him. He was overly cocky. That is, until he gets an email, inviting him to be a beta tester for an upcoming game for Smosh Games, a relatively unknown company. He thought it would be fun. He thought he would enjoy himself. Not even the corpse being wheeled out when he was first entering the building was enough to dampen his spirits. He filled out the paperwork, met the company heads, and before he knew it, he was being hooked up to a machine so he could join the game. Once in the game, he meets several other gamers, all exhausted, bruised, and scared. He soon learns the truth. The game was a trap. It was murder trap disguised as a game meant to kill off cocky gamers that drove the rest of the community insane. If you get murdered in the game, you die in real life. The only way out is to defeat all one hundred levels as a team, a single death resetting the rest of the team back to level one. Now, he's on a mission to get out with the rest of the current survivors. To succeed, he'll have to learn a skill he'd never mastered; teamwork. But David is desperate to survive, and he'll do anything to do so; even if it means changing who he is. Plot credits go to @smoshcommunity / @MoganLeigh0729Terminé
Rogue Resurrection
In a world where death means starting over, betrayal is worse than dying. When Kurokai logged into Eidolon Realms, a hyper-realistic VR world, he dreamed of honor, adventure, and maybe just maybe love. Instead, he was betrayed by the girl he trusted most, branded a monster and a criminal. His gear stolen, his name smeared, Kurokai is forced to survive alone in a party-based game designed to break the solitary. But Kurokai doesn't break. He laughs. He grins through stitched scars and hidden runes, wielding secrets and forbidden skills no sane player would touch. In the shadows of ruined dungeons and player-killer territories, he plots a twisted path to redemption or revenge. When he frees Nyssara, a slave girl with secrets of her own, the two outcasts forge a bond that might save them both - or drag them deeper into a game where betrayal is currency and trust is fatal. In Eidolon Realms, there are no heroes. Only survivors. And Kurokai will make sure his enemies never forget it.Terminé
