Through Thick And Thin.

***

The Infamous Darla Vance is an international lawyer with a legacy sitting down beside her. She has given killers with lifetime sentences light again, she has awarded psychopaths freedom and guided con-artists into the right pathways to see their families once more. Her reputation at making deranged men and women walk free with little to no scratch has brought her publicity, that's nothing she can't handle.

But when her assistant comes into her office late one night with a thick box of files all labeled: The Keung Case, her attention directs itself toward a new obstacle. A challenge of making a loving father turned cannibalistic hitman into a victim of acute Stockholm Syndrome.

And it won't be easy especially when Micah Keung - the man himself doesn't know his daughter is still alive.

I SAW SANTA KILL SOMEONE by KassandraVivu

Celeste Gray thought it would be nice to stay in a cabin in the woods. Being able to be alone, left with her thoughts, finding nature, and the nice cozy feeling of warmth were what she needed. Which led her to book/rent out a cabin for the whole month of December. Spending the holidays alone shouldn't be too bad. I mean, there's a reason she's alone in the first place; this is what she needed to move on with her life. So everything should be fine. Celeste was wrong about that because the moment she decided to take that trail in the woods, she knew she fucked up. Especially when she saw Santa Clause, not dropping off gifts, not with his reindeer or his sleigh, but standing over a dead body. She just saw Santa kill someone. Ji-Cheol Kim is not your average man, he does something for a living that is not for everyone, but someone has to do it, especially when it's getting justice in a way for people who deserve justice done that way. He was doing his job, which he is very good at when someone who wasn't supposed to be there ended up being there. Now his plans have changed, which led him to do something he doesn't mind doing, finally being able to spend the holidays with someone. Even if the person doesn't want that, she has no choice but to accept it. Neither of them was expecting this to happen. Two people from different worlds who ended up bumping into each other are now spending the holidays together. This was far from being a Christmas miracle.
