Kiem sat in his dimly lit office, the afternoon sun slanting through the dusty blinds and casting long shadows across his cluttered desk. A faint but pleasant scent of petrichor, the earthy smell of rain after a dry spell, hung in the air, carrying a sense of tranquility. He was engrossed in a well-worn paperback, its pages whispering forgotten stories of distant lands and adventure.
"Just a few more chapters to save the princess," Kiem muttered, turning a page with a rustle, it was his favorite edition of the book series.
A sudden, sharp rap on the old wooden door shattered the peaceful atmosphere. Kiem glanced down at himself, feeling suddenly self-conscious. His usual work attire had been replaced by a comfortable fleece sweatshirt and a well-worn pair of relaxed-fit jeans, a testament to his escape into the world of the book. "Coming!" he called out, shoving the book shut with a thump and tucking it under his arm.
The old door groaned as it swung ajar, revealing a disheveled Adler. His typically cheerful countenance was now filled with anxiety, and sweat glistened on his brow. Not only was he warm, Kiem realized with a sudden shock, but it seemed that Adler was practically emanating nervous energy.

"Shh, shh, now baby-girl, it's alright, you're safe, don't cry" he soothed, moving closer to me. "N-Noah, I w-want to go home," I sobbed, feeling weak from my inability to talk without stuttering. A gasp left my parted lips as his hand forcefully connected with my cheek, "You are home, so I don't want to hear that crap from you, okay?" shaking, I looked down at my feet, his gaze too menacing to hold. "I said, do you understand" he spit through clenched teeth, "y-yes, I'm sorry" I whispered, a new wave of tears making their appearance. "Good girl, now I need you to keep being a good girl, okay?" nodding, my eyes met his dark ones. His form towered over me, making me feel small and irrelevant. "Words, Embry!" He demanded as I stuttered out a quiet yes. I studied him cautiously as he walked towards the far end of the room, shuffling through drawers before stalking back towards me and crouching down.

"Now baby-girl, you see, as much as I hate to, you need to be punished, do you know why?" Warning!

Escape from the Obstinate Prince ✓
Sequel to "Escape from the Witch Hunters" Jack kept walking towards her and Ami kept backing up until finally she hit the wall. "Why are you doing this?" "Doing what?" he had an arrogant smile on his face and he got closer to her. "That." she nodded towards his closing in on her. Her breathing and her heart beating picked up speed. "Is it wrong for me to want my own wife?" his own body was nearly pressed against hers and he rested his head between her head and shoulder. "It is when you, just days before, resented the very fact that I was alive." she closed her eyes, trying to steady her breathing. "Maybe I've had a change of heart." he looked at her. She looked at him with her blue eyes. "I don't think so." "What if I said I loved you?" he whispered hoarsely. "I wouldn't believe you." she rested her head against the wall as her heart pounded in her ears. His eyes flashed, then he viciously grabbed her by the waist, pulled her close to him, and his lips crashed onto hers. ~~~ Andromeda Aurora Amélia the Third had dreaded the day she turned sixteen, as she would have to be married to the very snobbish boy, Prince Jacques.

LOVE ME WRONG
The room smelled faintly of ink and stale coffee. Joong sat stiffly under the yellow light, hands resting on the cold steel table, answering the inspector's questions with steady precision. He had nothing to hide-or so he thought. Across from him, Inspector Pond tapped his pen against the file. "You said you left the bar around midnight. Alone?" Joong nodded. "Yes." The door opened before Pond could press further. A tall man stepped inside, confident without being intrusive. His tone was smooth, casual, as though he had every right to interrupt. "Not alone," the stranger corrected, sliding a glance at Joong. "He was with me." Pond frowned, pen frozen mid-tap. "And you are...?" "Dunk," the man supplied, offering a polite half-smile. "We shared drinks. Then we left together. You can check the bartender-he'll confirm. I walked him home myself." Joong blinked. He didn't know this man. He had never seen him before. And yet Dunk's words carried the weight of truth, every syllable deliberate, leaving no space for suspicion. Pond studied them both for a moment, then leaned back in his chair. His instincts itched, but the alibi was too clean, too precise. Finally, he scribbled something in his file. "...Alright. You're free to go."Complete
The Drafted Reality and Dreams
It was a dark cold night-the night where the birds lay dead on the cold ground, listening in to the deceased whispers. This is the night where blood was once spilled. Jeremy hid behind a tree, holding on his thigh-his thigh was bleeding as he got stabbed. Jeremy looked at his wound, cursing under his breath. Jeremy looked around to see if anyone was nearby, there wasn't anyone nearby but he could hear the screaming of his pals. He could do nothing but to weep, he got out of his hiding spot and went deeper into the woods. He was wincing in pain as he dragged his injured leg. It was dark, too dark to the point even the moonlight couldn't provide light. Jeremy tripped over a tree root, he winced in pain, squeezing his injured thigh in pain. He soon heard a twig being snapped close to him. He pulled himself together, getting back on his feet. Dragging his leg once more. This time he raised the pace, panicking as he knew that he was being followed. He soon came across an abandoned truck that was in a small field. He smiled in relief, getting inside of the truck. He heard movement from his right, seeing a silhouette of a being that was coming closer to him. He panicked, climbing to the other seat to close the door. Once the door was closed, he locked the doors-backing away after. The door handle was being pulled aggressively but soon stopped. He took off his jacket and wrapped it around his thigh, he winced in pain as he made it tight. He looked around the truck, trying not to move too much. He eventually found a pen and a piece of paper. He started writing on it as a way to let anyone who came to the amusement park to leave immediately. first chapter of "The Drafted Reality and Dreams" has been rewritten! it's a bit shorter and has the same details just like the first chapter originally did. ⚠️ !This novel includes drugs, murder/murderers, cussing, suicide! ⚠️ [Draft] - No Proofreading or editing.Complete
Tip-Toe
"I hope you consider my sincerest apologies, I'm not a monster" He whispered in my ear as his body firmly pressed against my body pinning me against the wardrobe doors. His clammy hands pressing into my teeth as his lips hovered dangerously close to my neck. The sound of panicked murmurs and shuffled feet filled my heart with anxiety. He stood on the top of the bench slowly going for his weapon that was fastened to his side. "Undress" he muttered, pointing the firearm at my waist. "Someone's in there," I heard, making me let out a squeal, the dangerous man's face went pale. As I could hear a set ppof heavy footsteps come closer. "It's your choice princess, but I can't promise you a happy ending if you pick wrong," He mouthed. His barely audible words sounding as clear as the stores intercom. I gritted my teeth, with tears threatening my eyes I begged my lips to yell but nothing even purred out. The sweat collecting in the back of my neck finally started to roll down my back. "Please" I cried.Complete
I hate that I loved you.
"What the heck is this Ibrahim??!" The man looked up at her bored and then lowered his gaze to that envelope. A small smirk formed on his face and he said, "I thought you could read English, Anaisha!" He scoffed and continued his work on the laptop. At this Anaisha got more angry and shouted at him, "YOU FILED A CASE AGAINST ME!!?" She hit the table with her palm. She was shocked. She don't know what happened suddenly. Till yesterday they were good. Atleast she thought that everything was good between them then why suddenly the first thing she saw this morning is this official letter from court?! "Yes I did! So?" He said still looking at his laptop without paying any attention at her! "And why? I never did anything like what you accused me of!" She shouted loudly but her voice broke a little by the end of her line. She was on the verge of breaking down completely. She is working with Malik Empire from last 3 years and now she is accused of Embezzlement. When all she did was being honest with the company. "And.. and why are you behaving like this? I'm.. I AM YOUR GIRLFRIEND FOR GOD'S SAKE!! " She broke down in tears as she finally said this line. Yes. Anaisha and Ibrahim were in a relationship from last 2 years. They have known each other from last 5 years. They are in a live-in relationship. "Well You 'were' my girlfriend because from now you're not. And also about why I did this!?" He got up from his chair and took steps towards Anaisha. She didn't back off. "You think I loved you? What a fool! Do you really think that I WOULD LOVE THE PERSON WHO IS THE DAUGHTER OF MY PARENTS' MURDERER??!" He shouted loudly and gripped her arms tightly. She flinched at his words and she was shocked at what he was saying. Because for Anaisha, her father is a Superhero and she believe that her dad could never harm anyone. 🥂🥂🥂 Join me in this love-hate journey of Anaisha and Ibrahim.Complete
May Legends Become Champions: Round One
This could be it. I quickly start to look around the place before the torture starts. Every piece of information I can get stands out to me as my mind connects the pieces. Brianna also seems jumpy as she watches Raphael get up to look at the farthest door where the other passengers came from. Raphael takes a surprised step back as he looks through the small window again. He slowly turns around and his face is pale as he says, "The other part of the subway is gone." "What?!" A tall man says with wide eyes. "No! That's impossible! We just came from there!" The rest of them nervously look around as Ben gets up to look through the window of the conductor's room. Michelle gets up to see what Raphael keeps seeing and Brianna lets out a nervous pant. "There's no conductor." I stand at this and my blood falls to my feet. Frantic looks go around the place and nervous voices fill our ears along with the scrapping sound of the subway. I turn around to look at the other passengers and my eyes catch the red lights from the moving letters on one part of the roof. I gulp and sweat starts down my neck as I read its bright letters. Welcome back, players.Complete
Season 2/ The Letter from the Past
--- The morning sun shimmered through the high crystal windows of Aethermere Academy, scattering golden light across the marble halls. The students bustled with excitement-new robes, new spells, new beginnings. Eli adjusted his satchel as he and Kael climbed the spiraling stairs toward their classroom. The air smelled of ink, books, and a faint trace of magic dust from the first-years below learning their beginner charms. "Back again," Kael said, grinning. "Feels like we never left." Eli smiled faintly. "Yeah... but it feels different this time. Heavier." As they reached their classroom, Nia waved them over, her arms full of scrolls. "You guys! The Headmistress posted our first mission schedule-something about the Wailing Woods." Before Eli could reply, a faint blue shimmer appeared on his desk. A sealed envelope-old parchment, edges glowing with faint silver runes. Everyone went silent as Eli reached for it. The wax seal bore a crescent moon entwined with ivy-the mark his mother used when writing spell formulas. > "Eli Rainblood," the letter whispered softly, as if alive. "If you're reading this... then the veil between our worlds is weakening." Eli's heartbeat quickened. Kael leaned closer. "Is that-" "My mother's mark," Eli murmured, voice shaking. He broke the seal. A faint blue mist swirled from the letter, forming an image of a woman-his mother. Her expression was both warm and urgent. > "Eli," she said gently, her voice echoing like wind through trees. "If you wish to uncover the truth about our family... you must seek the Eclipse Vault beneath the academy. But beware-someone already knows you will try." The vision faded, leaving behind only the scent of wild rain. The classroom buzzed with whispers, but Eli could barely hear them. Kael, Nia, and Rowan exchanged glances-because deep down, they all knew... this year wasn't going to be like the last. ---
