Let's say your mother bore you in a province down South for pretty much all your life under 20 years, fatherless and penniless. You became the laughing stock in school, and your mother gossiped all over the village for giving you birth out of wedlock. 

At the ripe age of 7, you found out that your father is a very powerful chairman of a bank across East Asia, South East Asia, South America and Australia. You begin to wonder what happened with your parents' tragic romance. 

Only then later you find out your mother is not even penniless- she is much richer than your father an exponential times over. On top of it all, she is apparently the leader of the biggest syndicate in Russia, named Ekaterina Ignatkovich.

What if you find out that you are the most awaited heir of your father's growing bank, and your mother's trillions of assets from her Italian enterprise?

Oh, the story doesn't stop there. What if you are also the crowned inheritor, who's meant to inherit the biggest Italian, German and Russian mafia syndicates altogether?

What do you do?

Black by AngPlumangKulayDilaw

Hunters and their spears. Rulers and their crowns. That's how the world is cut in half: black and white, good and bad, the hero and the villain---the Raven City, and the silent hills of Argus. That's how it has been. For centuries. Decades. Years. When you're born, you only have two choices: you can live in Raven City where people ought to lead, revolutionize and wear suits, vest and crowns. Or you can go far away from the noise, and live in the green hills of Argus where the tribe's survival lies in their culture and in their forest. The other marches towards advancement and the riches of the world, while the other prevails in silence and preserves the fields. Diana Abella--- a daughter of a tribe chief was born in the green forests and fresh lakes of Argus. Where she ought to hunt and protect her tribe, and where she needs to live by their traditions no matter what. But she wants more. She wants to learn more than peace and leaves. She also wants to see the city lights, she wants to hold a pen, and she also wants to ride cars. Even though the world disagrees, Diana knows that it wasn't always black and white; there must be something in-between, something that already crossed that bridge between the people of Raven and the people of Argus. Something that has the same desire as hers. Or someone. It could be Antonio Dmitri, one of the biggest and powerful business tycoons of Raven, and one of the most influential person despite retreating to his very private life. But no matter how powerful and fierce Antonio is, Diana knows better. She knows he doesn't belong in Raven City. Because she knows him, he was born in the same fields she grew up in. Argus. Diana will do everything to go beyond her chains no matter what happen. By hook or by crook, she'll go to the Raven City through Antonio. Even if it means becoming his biggest enemy...and eventually, his wife. ---- All Rights Reserved. 2024 Full credits to the rightful owner of the image in the book cover.

"Villains are not born, they are made." In the magical world of Mysquetonia, an ancient darkness begins to rise. A powerful demon-once sealed away in legend-is stirring, threatening to plunge the kingdoms into chaos. At the center of it all stands the Kingdom of Denatoria, the most advanced and powerful realm, now leading the fight against the shadow looming over their world. Adaleiah, a young sorceress born of two worlds-half-Denator, half-Netherian-receives a haunting vision: a way to stop the growing evil. Determined and desperate to protect the realm, she sets off on a dangerous journey with two princes-Aurik, the free-spirited and kind-hearted heir, and Jedrek, the brooding warrior with a complicated past. But not everything is what it seems. As the three face deadly creatures, ancient magic, and hidden enemies, deeper emotions begin to surface-secret affections, broken loyalties, and truths long buried. Meanwhile, the youngest prince, Erez, follows his own dark path, driven by a thirst for power and a desire to prove himself. With each step forward, the mystery of who unleashed the demon grows. Whispers of betrayal echo across the kingdoms. And as the puzzle slowly comes together, the greatest threat might not be the demon itself-but the one who set it free. Will they save Mysquetonia before it's too late? Or will love, jealousy, and destiny tear them apart from within? "Even if you've spent your entire life with someone, you won't truly know them until you see their dark side."
