ILYA LEVITSKY & MAYA SOKOLOV

Do you know that urge to vanish, to simply cease to exist, not out of a desire for nothingness, but to spare others the burden you fear you've become? Yet, you hesitate, knowing that your disappearance might be the ultimate inconvenience-a role you've inadvertently perfected over a lifetime. 

Or do you know about the unsettling suspicion when you long for someone's affection, and they echo your sentiments, but a silent voice within you casts doubts. Perhaps they don't long for you, as you do for them?  

That's the turmoil I'm wading through, a maelstrom of emotions that's been brewing for some time. It's a deluge that overwhelms me daily, each breath a struggle. The faces of those I've inadvertently harmed seem to flicker in the shadows, their expressions unreadable. I'm yearning for redemption, to right my wrongs but the fear grips me-what if there is no absolution? Not because it doesn't exist, but because it's being withheld from me?

The Karma Project by knikole_
50 parts Complete Mature
Today I want to die. Not because of anything in particular or specific, but just because the utter thought of ceasing to exist sounds devastatingly euphoric. To make the noise stop. To stop this stabbing pain in the lowest pit of my stomach that's causing a burning sensation that crawls all over my skin, making me want to peel it off. To stop the guilt that festers every time I take a breath-- an oxygen thief. To stop the constant urge to detonate over anything and everything that dares to love me because in all-- I could never deserve such an honor. Today I want to die. For the longest time, I thought I was just unlucky. That sometimes life doesn't work out for everyone, and for people like me; things just never get better. I had settled into the life of being unlucky, reveled in it, and found comfort in knowing that no matter what; I would just be categorically unlucky. That was until I realized luck had nothing to do with it. It's karma. It's the idea of what goes around comes around, and what goes up must come down. Didn't some philosopher speak to that once? However, it isn't my karma. Well it wasn't at first-- somewhere down the line after all my wrongdoing I'm sure it has switched to mine. But I am the poor soul stuck with my father's karmic retaliation. The karma that he deserves has been thrown against me as some sort of sick cosmic joke-- I'm sure he'd actually celebrate and feast on the fact that once again, he still gets to hurt me even from his grave. Too bad I killed him before he had the chance to see. *Book One in the Karma Duet. Book Two is now in progress, titled: The Karma Study*

(Tainted Series:1) **Four merciless rulers of the underworld. A mafia heiress thrown into a perilous game of power and betrayal. Her resilience will be tempered in the fires of darkness.** Svetlana~ Returning to Russia on my twenty-fourth birthday, I am confronted with a reality beyond my darkest fears. My father's revelation strikes like a thunderbolt-my destiny entwined with the most ruthless mafia lords of our era. Four men who command the shadows with an iron fist. Four tyrants who inspire fear and obedience wherever they tread. Four sovereigns who believe I am their possession to claim. **"In the realm of shadows, only the boldest survive. I will not be tamed."** As the daughter of a revered Russian family, I was meant to be sheltered from the brutalities of the criminal world. But now, I find myself at the center of a deadly game, where power and passion collide. They see me as their trophy, a symbol of their unchallenged supremacy. But they have underestimated my spirit. **"The darkness respects only those who challenge its reign."** My journey is a tapestry of ambition and defiance, woven with threads of loyalty and insurgency. They aim to subjugate me, to manipulate me as a pawn in their sinister dance of dominance. Yet, I refuse to be a passive player-I am the catalyst that will ignite the flames of change. In this labyrinth of deceit and power, I will forge my own destiny. I will not merely endure; I will rise. This is not a tale of submission and control-it is the saga of a woman ascending to her rightful place in a world governed by men. Svetlana, once averse to the mafia's dark allure, now stands at the precipice of her own awakening, ready to challenge the very foundations of their empire.

BROKEN VOWS (Broken Redemption Book 1)

32 parts Complete Mature

Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the golden boy with a bright future they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parent's property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust.
