There are plenty of words a mother could use to describe her son. Dashing, witty, handsome or strong. If someone were to ask Ximena Armstrong, however, only one of her boys would be introduced in such a proud light. If they asked about the other one, they would receive a strained compilation of complaints that he is vile, twisted, or a hateful beast. There are two sides to every story, though. What made a mother turn her back so quickly?
No one has ever gotten close enough to either party to ask for their side. One thing is for certain, Griffin Emiliano is a dangerous man, and Ximena Armstrong is a pathological liar. 
Yet on an uneventful day in Betrothal, a group set out to find the answers to all the possible questions anyone could ask. When they find two boys, an anklet and a pile of bodies, there are too many questions to ask and not enough time for the answers before the doors are busted in and everyone is a suspect.

It all began with a message on his 16th birthday, 'Today in one year, you will die.' Felix didn't think much about it, after all his father was a well-known underground boss in this area. Unbothered, he pocketed his phone, going about his normal day, only that nothing was normal. His mother, whom he hadn't seen for six years, met him only to interrogate him. Felix never condoned what his father did for a living, much less that he was always dragged into it. He collected evidence to send his father to jail and to prove to his mother that he wasn't anything like his father. When did it all go wrong? When he tried to turn in the evidence? Felix couldn't remember the day after that day he got a message, only one thing seemed prominent. Ice-blue eyes. He saw his mother on the street in front of him, she said something in tears, "Don't worry, the afterlife will give you what you deserve," before she shot him. Why did she- It was a question he couldn't ask as he was soon greeted by someone or rather something..

2nd Place in The Dragon Fire Awards 3rd Place in Science Fiction in the Tricolour Terrenial Awards. " No one was truly your own in this world. Everyone, in the deepest parts of their hearts, cared only for themselves. And even if true love did exist, you can never truly understand someone. You can never know what is going on in the other person's head. For all you know, the person can be looking at you with loving eyes, full of bliss, but really they are battling their own, inner demons, keeping secrets buried and telling lies to cover up. That's what people do. That's what everyone does. Keep their demons buried and tell lies to keep them buried. And people love so that they can heal, so that they can find relief from continuously battling their demons. To have someone to share their burden with. And havoc occurs when the demon is stronger than your will, when love isn't enough to keep the monster at bay. " A girl, torn between her heart and mind. A boy, set out to avenge his parents. A pair of twins with only one, deadly goal in their life. A country ruled and oppressed by a power-hungry mad man. Will they ever be free?
