### The Hollow Man - Story Description
#### What if everything you knew about yourself was a lie?
Dr. Ethan Graves has everything he could ever want - a brilliant career, a loving wife, and a comfortable life. But lately, something feels off. A song on the radio stirs emotions he can't explain. A familiar street looks completely foreign. And then a stranger approaches him with a chilling claim: "You're not who you think you are."
At first, Ethan dismisses it as nonsense. But when he starts uncovering gaps in his past, missing security footage, and a growing list of unsettling coincidences, he realizes the truth is far worse than he ever imagined. His memories aren't his. His identity was manufactured. And the real Ethan Graves? He died a long time ago.
Before he was Ethan, he was Daniel Kessler - a journalist who got too close to exposing Re-Life Corp, a powerful biotech company running secret experiments in consciousness transfer. Now, trapped in a stolen body and pursued by the very people who erased him, Ethan has a choice: keep living a lie or risk everything to take down the people who did this to him.
But as he digs deeper, one terrifying question remains: If your memories aren't yours, then who are you really?
_The Hollow Man_ is a gripping sci-fi thriller that explores the power of memory, the cost of identity, and the dark side of human ambition. Perfect for fans of _Black Mirror_ and _Inception_, this story will keep you questioning reality until the very last page.
"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦
Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius IQ and a heart of gold. She hacks her way into virtual systems on a search for her mother.
Unfortunately for her, she has hacked into the wrong database. She hacked into the database of the notorious mob boss, Santino "Saint" Venturi.
Saint is the opposite of his name. He's known for his ruthlessness. As a mob boss to a mafia, he learned to eat or be eaten. When Reyna stumbles upon his database, a plan dispersed into his mind. He's going to take her.

"I don't share, angel."
"He's a friend," she found herself saying. Dante was too busy staring at her to notice the fiery glare in Saint's eyes. She was mentally praying that Dante would just look away.
His fingers trailed up her leg before his hand latched onto her sex. He held her there while a small gasp left her lips. "I will fuck you on this table if he doesn't stop looking at what belongs to me."
