It's their first job but it may as well be their last when she went missing under their watch, but the search for her lead them to the discovery of an unknown identical twin, who has been living a life of the complete opposite.

At the same time the election campaign is robustly conducted, there is a rising threat from the infamous outlaws called the 'Reflectors'. These outlaws steal from the rich and give to the poor, making them the good guys to some and bad guys to the others. As they try to piece the mysterious circumstances of her disappearance together, the idea of her being related to the Reflectors might not seem like a far fetch. In the quest to search for the missing pieces of the puzzle, it then comes to a point where they, too, question their own identities. Mystery-romance...? And everything in between.

Tell Me It's Forever
"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs. I quickly grab one of them so she can stop hurting herself and put pressure on my palm instead. "I need you to stop crying and go rest now. I think that would be best for you." "But..." "No buts. I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?" She sniffs as she holds out her little finger and I find myself smiling at her. "Of course." I wrap my finger with hers. What happened next really surprised me. *** Liya Abrechtt, a popular girl at college, starting her career, straight A student, everyone loves her, her life is practically normal. Until it isn't.

Free on Wattpad. ********** A GOOD MAN, FALLING APART Small town police officer Simon Labelle repressed his attraction to sexy shopgirl Leona Chaisty for years. He's good at controlling his feelings--or he used to be, before the bombing that he can't solve, that he should have prevented. Now, after a chance encounter with Leona at the lake, Simon can't get her out of his head. All those high school fantasies roar to life. A BAD GIRL, WISHING FOR MORE Leona is drawn to the intensity in Simon's pretty-boy blue eyes, but he's a good man, and she's not just hopelessly kinky--she'll never know how to love. Still, unlike everyone else, Simon acts like she might actually have a heart. The more time they spend together, the more she wishes he were right. A CHALLENGE NEITHER CAN RESIST After a second unsolved case pulls them together, their sexual chemistry rattles them both, and hints at an unsettling fetish that Simon struggles to suppress. Leona pushes Simon to decide what he wants--whether to dominate, submit, or some mix of both--while Simon, already falling for his dream girl, finally gets her to admit that she's lonely. Each challenges the other to reveal more, to cede control, to be vulnerable. But they're both more fragile than they appear. It's only a matter of time before one pushes too hard, and the other breaks. ********** Trigger warnings for depression, suicidal ideation, and possibly alcoholism. Significant child abuse (neglect only) is also part of a character's backstory. There is gender-bending, femdom, and a pretty scary control-based fetish. There is also off-screen violence and death, and mild on-screen violence.Concluida
All The Days I Was Gone
My feet sank into the damp, muddy earth as I fled through the field. I could feel my heart pounding rapidly against my bruised chest, and I could hear his rasping breath as he chased after me. "I can't let him catch me." Forrest Peterson was sixteen when she disappeared without a trace. There were no leads, no trails, no body to be found. There were no witnesses or suspects. She was just gone. A year and a half after her disappearance, Forrest is found bloody, broken, and desperate to be rescued. She escaped from her captors and longs to find normalcy in her life again, starting with the handsome and familiar man who saved her. Everything should be falling in place after the eighteen months she was missing, but there's a problem. Forrest doesn't remember anything. She doesn't remember being kidnapped, she doesn't remember what happened, she doesn't remember who her kidnappers are. Her mind is blank, and she fears her kidnappers identities will never be revealed. As Forrest struggles to find her place back in life she slowly begins unraveling the fragments of her memory, uncovering the painful secrets her past holds. The truth of what happened that fateful day and the horrors she faced is just a flashback away, and she wants the answers as soon as she can get them. But Forrest is running out of time. The monsters are still out there, and they're much closer than she thinks. *Pictures are not mine and belong to their rightful photographers*Concluida
Whispered Shadows
Years ago, a group of close friends ventured into the secluded Black Hollow Cabin for a weekend getaway. What started as laughter and camaraderie quickly turned into a nightmare when one of them, Emma, vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispered warnings and shadowy figures lurking in the dark. Stricken with guilt and fear, the remaining friends fled, swearing never to speak of that night again. Now, years later, the past refuses to stay buried. Maya, one of the surviving friends, receives an unsettling invitation to a reunion at the same cabin on Halloween night. Against her better judgment, she joins the gathering, hoping for answers but dreading what she might uncover. As the group reunites, old tensions surface, and eerie occurrences begin: shadows that move without light, whispers that echo in empty rooms, and unsettling reminders of the night Emma disappeared. When one of the friends goes missing under similar circumstances, the group realizes they are being hunted by a malevolent force tied to their betrayal. With secrets unraveling and the shadows closing in, Maya and her friends must confront the truth about what really happened that fateful night. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone-or something-knows their darkest sins and won't stop until justice is served. In "Whispered Shadows," betrayal isn't the only thing that lingers. Whispers of vengeance echo through the night, and shadows of the past may be their undoing.Concluida
