I can't tell if he's my salvation... or the most delicious kind of trap I've ever known. I am Genevieve. My life was safe, my choices clear. But now, nothing is as it seems.

Vegeance: Ashes Of Desires
Headlights cut through the pitch-black night. A girl drives like she's running from death itself. Her voice slices the silence - cold, sharp, unstoppable: "So many have fallen. I won't let another... even if I have to die tonight." Sudden a flash-metal screams. A truck smashes her path. Glass explodes. Sparks fly. Unknown Man whispered, deadly "If you're ready to die... then die." Car spins. Smoke. Fire. Chaos. He leans over her trembling form. "I am the GHOST. Your last wish... fulfilled. Go to heaven, angel." --- Elsewhere- A dim cabin, shadows crawling along the walls. A woman in her 40s, lethal, flawless, watches a family portrait burn. Her eyes cold as ice. "I am coming back to reclaim what was mine and everything you stole from me. Every injustice you buried will now be answered only in fire. Agnivansh, your hell just got a face." Ash drifts. Flames dance. Legacy meets fury. Power meets vengeance. --- A mansion. A father's rage explodes, "Get away from that bitch!" "Shut up!" his son roars."She's mine! Insult her again, and I'll forget you're my father!" (He smashes a vase. Silence-then fury.) Glass shatters. Blood vows are made. "Kill her," the father orders. "Before that bitch kills him" --- Somewhere in the dark, a man in black pins another beneath his boot which weight crushing, breath stolen. Steel flashes; the blade finds hand, then flesh, then chest, each thrust a verdict. Steel glints. Breath quickens. "In my world, mercy insists." Blood drips. Knife flashes. "You dared touch my Rooh... now beg for your soul." Then he thrust the knife on his plam and locked him in his place. ----- In this game, loyalty is a weapon. And love- is just another way to destroy.
