As dusk settled over the eastern city, the vibrant life of Tiara's Tavern clashed with the grim news flickering on a television screen, painting a stark contrast of celebration and tension. The neon sign above the bar flickered hesitantly, mirroring the uncertainty that hung in the air. Inside, the atmosphere buzzed with the joy of a birthday celebration, oblivious to the shadows that crept closer with every passing minute. Suddenly, the festive lights were swallowed by darkness, a brief harbinger of chaos. When light reclaimed the space, it revealed a scene frozen in shock and stained with tragedy. Amid the revelry, death had claimed its due, leaving behind a silent witness.

The narrative then shifts with the urgency of a thriller, following a mysterious man as he navigates through the night, his journey shadowed by the cold embrace of the mist and the haunting whispers of a city that holds its breath. The train station becomes a crossroads of fate and secrets, where conversations hint at deeper stories waiting to unravel in the clanking rhythm of the train's journey.

This story will take you far on the journey of fleeting moments between the light and darkness, between truth and silence.

|18+| "Enough is enough," she said to herself. "I'm going to ask him out." Getting up from her seat, she walked over to where he was seated. "Um, hi! I was wondering if we could grab some coffee and maybe hang out sometime?" she asked nervously. He turned to her, a sense of darkness and danger emanating from him. Her body went on alert. "You shouldn't be able to see me," he said with a smiling like a Cheshire cat. . . . "I scratch and bite" she warned "You'll crawl and beg too" he smirked. . . . The Ripple She hardly has time to breathe, much less dream, considering that she is juggling two difficult jobs. One face, nevertheless, sticks out in the midst of the chaos of her daily subway rides: a mysterious guy whom she covertly refers to as "the subway hottie." His mysterious presence becomes the high point of her daily routine-a secret joy. However, one day, with an unusual burst of courage, she dares to break the silence between them. What starts off as a brief connection quickly develops into something forbidden and thrilling. She has no idea that this seemingly random meeting will upend her meticulously planned life in ways she never could have predicted. The Echo He had to grow up too early after being born into an uncertain circumstance and found refuge and survival in the shadow of an underground empire. From a street-hardened recruit to a trusted enforcer in the family's inner circle, what started out as a desperate decision quickly turned into a way of life. However, trust is brittle and was destroyed the day he discovered a cruel betrayal that left him bloodied and drove him to flee. His only goal now is to exact revenge, and The Nemesis is his target. But his well-laid schemes fall apart when she gets in his way. His icy determination starts to soften for the first time, and he has to decide whether seeking vengeance is worth losing the one thing he never thought he deserved-her. 𝔘𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔯 𝔠𝔬𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔲𝔠𝔱𝔦𝔬

He exhaled on the risen platform in the park, watching the sun sink back to where it came from. "Why is that I always feel so subtly melancholic seeing this grand view." She smiled serenely. "Because it is so beautiful. The most beautiful objects, the most beautiful views, and the most beautiful moments of life always gift us with the most deep and sad emotions." "You know, that actually kinda makes sense! Yet we keep on desiring beauty. So ironic." "The same goes for memories. In the end, the saddest memories come from the conclusion of the most beautiful memories. We can never truly understand how evanescent the present moment is until it becomes the past." An in-campus murder happens, and the victim, or the perpetrator, leaves a message. Evanescent Dreams. --- A heartwarming romantic thriller. For you.
