A chill wind swept the rooftops as Adrian Blackthorne watched the city below, shadows dancing in the gaslight haze. His mind weighed the shifting alliances of a world teetering on the edge of chaos. Above the grime of progress, the skyline gleamed like steel fangs in the night.
In the hush of that moment, Selene Nightshade emerged from the darkness, her eyes glowing like embers-an ancient promise of both destruction and salvation. The wind caught her hair, a dark banner in the cold air. Adrian felt the chill deepen, as though the night itself held its breath.
In that heartbeat of silence, the world seemed to pause. Destiny loomed, vast and merciless, ready to descend. For in this city of glass and shadows, the line between order and oblivion blurred-and soon, the darkness would rise.

The CEO and His Luna
*The CEO and His Luna* Selene Kailene Ashbourne, a 22 year old, innocent, smart, kind-hearted and joyful girl applied at the biggest company in New York, Blackwood Enterprises Inc. The company's CEO, Adrian Magnus Blackwood, is a 22 year old, tall, handsome, rude and brooding CEO. One glare from him would shut you up immediately, and he values professionalism more than anything. But, there's one thing the world doesn't know about Adrian. His Luna. Fifteen years ago, he met a stunning little girl, the same age as him, they bonded together with candies, stuffed toys and chased each other around the school, but Adrian had to go overseas to study, but before he left, he made a promise-A promise to marry that girl he loved with all his heart. And fast forward to the present-he never forgot. He still kept the letter she wrote him, and the picture he took with her when they we're kids. But the heartbreaking truth is, the girl doesn't remember her anymore. And that-is Selene. But as the opportunity to get closer to her came, he grasped onto it tightly, willing to make her remember, that she once had his Addie, and he once had his Luna. •SYNOPSIS• "Why are you here, sir?" I asked softly, gazing at the bright stars. He didn't respond, just stared at me with the same unreadable expression. "You don't remember me?" He whispered. I furrowed my brows, shaking my head in confusion, although I couldn't deny that his touch and his eyes felt oddly familiar. He sighed, and it sounded.. pained. He handed me a picture. And it was me, probably twelve years younger, and a boy beside me. "That's me, Luna." He whispered, and I froze. He took my hands in his, "I know you don't remember yet, but I promise, I'll make you remember, and I'll fulfill the promise I once whispered to you under the moonlight twelve years ago, my Luna." He murmured, kissing my hand. He stood up, and walked away, leaving me speechless and shocked.
A Red Flag's Green Light (COMPLETED)
The rooftop scene played in slow motion in her eyes. Her boyfriend's hands wrapped around her best friend, their lips locked, their laughter echoing in the crisp morning air. Her heart didn't just break it turned to dust. The voices in her head chuckled darkly, whispering like shadows: "If you had chosen him... you wouldn't be in pain. He would never betray you. He has been watching, waiting... a red flag to the world, but to you... a green light." She staggered back, her breath trembling. "Who... who are you?" she whispered, pressing her hands to her ears. "We are your choices. Your paths. And the gangster who scares everyone? He would rather die than see you cry." The voices faded, but their words rooted in her chest. The next day in class, she could barely focus. Everyone knew her as the quiet girl who never caused trouble, but now her world tilted sideways. When she glanced at the back corner, she caught him staring Raven, the school's infamous gangster. He leaned against his chair lazily, tattoos peeking from under his sleeve, but his eyes those sharp, storm colored eyes softened the moment they met hers. She quickly looked away, cheeks burning. At lunch, she found her seat empty. Her supposed best friend didn't sit beside her anymore. Her ex avoided her completely, as if she was the one at fault. She tried to eat, but her throat closed up. Then a tray slammed down across from her. "You're not eating," Raven muttered, sitting down uninvited. Her eyes widened. "Why are you-" "Because you look like hell," he cut in. "And because I told myself if I ever see you cry over someone who isn't me, I'll make them regret it." Her stomach knotted. Was he joking? Threatening? Or... protecting? Before she could answer, the voices whispered again-only she could hear them: "See? He burns for you. Dangerous to others, safe for you. Don't push him away..."Complete
Shadows of Vengeance

Tonight, the familiar hum of the city carried a subtle vibration that set his immortal senses on edge. He had felt it first as a distant tremor-a ripple in the supernatural current that connected vampires across time and space. Lucius. The name burned like acid in his mind, conjuring memories he had spent decades trying to suppress. Adrian's fingers traced the ornate silver ring on his left hand, a relic from another time.Complete

Midnight Shadows
Entwined Series Book #3 Midnight Shadows Iris Rossi The city's hum faded as the car sped toward the gala, but my attention wasn't on the event-it was on the man beside me. Tayne Blackwood. My bodyguard. My shadow. My curse. His chiseled jaw remained tense, his scarred hands resting motionless, his dark eyes scanning the streets for unseen threats. He was always like this-silent, unreadable. And it infuriated me. "You're awfully quiet tonight," I said, breaking the thick silence. "I don't talk much." "That's an understatement." He didn't react, and that only fueled my curiosity. "Do you ever smile?" "Not often." I sighed, adjusting the hem of my dark red dress. "You know, being approachable wouldn't kill you." His gaze flicked to mine, sharp and unwavering. "I'm here to keep you safe, not to make friends." His detachment stung more than I cared to admit, so I turned to the window, watching city lights blur past. But I wasn't done. "Why did you take this job?" I asked after a pause. A long silence. Then, his voice, rough and final. "Because I don't fail." The car stopped at the grand entrance, and before I could process his words, Tayne was at my door, ever the silent protector. He didn't offer his arm, but his presence was enough-a wall between me and the flashing cameras. As we stepped into the ballroom, I stole another glance at him. He was unreadable, but something told me there was more beneath that cold exterior. And for some reason, I wanted to uncover every single secret.

Her sect was burned to ashes, her family slaughtered, and she herself was struck down beneath the heavens she once commanded. She thought death was the end.

And before she could comprehend what had happened, she realized she was no longer Maria of the Azure Spirit Sect. She had been thrust into the pages of a story - Till the End Burns Out - and reborn in the body of Viviene, the infamous villainess fated to die hated and alone in a brutal, post-apocalyptic world.

And as she began to change Viviene's path, someone else noticed. Adrian - the male lead of the story, once destined to despise and destroy Viviene - found himself watching her with growing fascination. Her sharp words and hidden kindness, her iron will and quiet strength stirred something in him he did not expect. Against the flow of fate, Adrian's hatred slowly melted into reluctant respect... and something far deeper.
