NEVER EVER (Charlotte's story)
He let out a slight shrug, "Putting you to death was not what I was pointing towards. After all, it is merely the mouth that talks." I shivered, as I blinked naïvely, "Humph! A-And are there methods to silence this alone?" I huffed. He snapped his arrogant, coldly-heated gaze in my direction, and my insides clenched, as I noticed his deep, powerful ocean orbs snap down to my... lips. He then snapped his gaze away, fixing his right wrist watch as his deep, authoritative voice came: "Many, trust me." ~~~~~~~~ Fate has a weird hobby of slamming us right in the face about things we so took for granted. My name is Charlotte Thorne. Never claimed to be special, never cared about that. I grew up behind the pages of my books and in the different worlds of my love and romance novels. The world, as I knew it, consisted of my humble yet happy family, my studies, hobbies, friends and a potential perfect love story I was supposed to live. Now what happens when the world, as I knew it, turns out to be mostly a lie I've lived in for a long time? I conclude a simple golden rule: Love is pure, illogical crap. And so, long story short: with my nëw rules, a strict vow, a new family, fresh job, and on top of all those, a cold and arrogant Rickard Ellington Conway as my employer, guess I have a whole lot to deal with in this fresh new world of mine ─which'll get rather interesting... Book I of the Charlotte's Story Series. Trigger Warning: This story may contain scenes/content of violence, vulgar language, etc. that might be triggering to some audience.

Codex Dei
***COVER HAS BEEN CHANGED*** She was trained to expose secrets. Now she's trapped inside one. When CIA investigator Seraphina Turner vanishes off-grid, the world writes her off as another agent gone rogue. But Sera didn't disappear-she was taken. Forced into a covert unit known only as Grey Team, a ghost operation buried so deep it's erased from every record. Her captor, calls it protection. He calls her wife. But Sera knows a prison when she sees one-no matter how polished the ring or how gentle the touch. The deeper she's pulled into Grey Team's world, the more fractures she sees-murmurs of classified experiments, storms that defy nature, whispers of technology that shouldn't exist. Something is happening beneath the surface, and somehow, she's at the center of it. Power hums under her skin. Storms rise when she breaks. And the man who chained her may be the only one capable of stopping what she's becoming. Because some secrets don't want to be uncovered. They want to be unleashed. I stared at the polished wood of the ceremony table, every fiber of me screaming to bolt-but I didn't. Rodriguez stood across from me, calm, predator-like, and I could feel my powers coiling under my skin. "Come my wife, I have much to show you," he said. And I obeyed-smiling, nodding, calculating the moment I would turn this trap in my favor. #1 CIA AGENT 10/28/25
