Gummy Bears on his mind, Murder on his trail
On a cold, windy night, Detective Dwith set out on his usual stroll, hoping a bag of gummy bears would ease his headache and clear his mind. The quiet streets hummed with the occasional rustling of leaves, the glow of streetlights flickering in the distance. As he wandered through the shop, a sudden, sharp bang shattered the silence. Instinct took over. He rushed towards the source of the sound-an unlit alley shrouded in darkness. There, in the dim glow of a flickering lamp, he saw it. A murder in progress. Before he could react, the killer bolted. Dwith lunged forward, his heart pounding, but before he could close the distance, searing pain exploded in his skull. A cold, unforgiving metal rod struck him from behind. His vision blurred, the world spinning as he collapsed to the ground. Just before everything faded to black, his gaze landed on something peculiar-a backpack. A single phrase was scrawled across it in bright, playful letters: "Hi Kitten." But Dwith wasn't the only witness that night. Someone else saw it all. Who was this mysterious observer? What was their connection to the crime? And more importantly-who was the murderer? Join Detective Dwith in a thrilling journey to unravel the dark secrets hidden behind the Hi Kitten Mystery, where a gummy bear is on his mind, and a murder is on his trail.

Once in a Lifetime {BxB English}
IMPORTANT: Once in a Lifetime: Part 1 is now officially published on Amazon! Please read the "READ THIS FIRST" chapter for more information and future updates. They say some loves only happen once. For Ody and Mano, that once changes everything. Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen. And losing someone again isn't a risk he's willing to take. Ody is the opposite. Bright, extroverted, charming, and painfully sincere, he notices when you're hurting, even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. For someone like Mano, that kind of softness is dangerous. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. What starts as tension becomes something neither of them can name, and soon, something they can't stop. But between secrets, buried trauma, and a world that won't let them exist without consequences, wanting each other comes at a cost. One keeps pushing him away. The other keeps reaching past every warning sign. Together, they burn. But when everything catches fire, love may not be enough to save them.Concluida
