Bound by an engagement neither of them ever wanted, Elysia Kote and Matthias Nikolav were destined to despise one another. What began as a forced engagement soon descended into a bitter rivalry, twisting into something darker, more obsessive, and far more dangerous.
In an age ruled by steam, steel, wealth, and invention, Elysia Kote creates something that should have never existed; a weapon capable of changing the course of war. As her life collapses beneath the weight of war, twisted schemes, and betrayal, she finds herself at the center of a conflict far greater than she ever imagined.
Bound by hatred, haunted by what they once were, and drawn together by something neither can escape, will they finally break free from each other or remain entangled in misery, descending together into obsession, betrayal, and depravity?

The Silence He Fell Into
She never laughed too loud. Never cried when it hurt. Never believed in love. For her, emotions were just... stories people told themselves. Until him. He didn't fall for her smile-because she barely had one. He didn't fall for her kindness-because she kept everyone away. He fell for her silence, her emptiness, the parts of her no one dared to understand. At first sight, he chose her. At every moment after, he kept choosing her. But how do you love someone who doesn't know how to love back? How do you fight for a heart that doesn't even feel your presence? This is not a story about perfect love. It's about a boy who refused to give up... and a girl who never knew what it meant to feel anything at all.

Almighty Beings: Beings Of Love
"Life had been a series of moves with my mom, but then we decided to settle down so she could follow her dream of opening a bakery with her best friend. We even made a deal: I'd brave the halls of public school again, a place I hadn't seen since I was little, and in return, I'd help out at the bakery. It felt like a real turning point, a chance for some stability. But then... things took a bizarre turn. A horrifying encounter, a rush of unsettling sensations, and suddenly my world is tilted on its axis. I can't tell reality from fantasy.

DEATH OF ME. A ROMANTIC NOVEL
Life doesn't come with a warning. It doesn't knock politely before it changes everything. It crashes in-uninvited, unannounced-and suddenly, nothing feels the same again. This is the story of a girl who learned that the hard way. Emma wasn't born into a perfect life. She wasn't the luckiest, the strongest, or the most prepared. She was just... human. Full of dreams, hope, and the quiet belief that if she tried hard enough, things would somehow fall into place. But life had other plans. Plans that would test her heart. Break her. Build her again. She would learn that love isn't always gentle. Sometimes it heals you... and sometimes it leaves scars that refuse to fade. She would meet people who felt like home-and others who would make her question her worth. She would fall. More than once. But she would also rise. Because strength isn't about never breaking-it's about choosing to stand again, even when every part of you wants to stay down. Through heartbreak, betrayal, and moments of doubt, Emma would discover something deeper than pain... something stronger than fear. Faith. Not just in God-but in herself. And even when life seemed unfair-when doors closed, when love slipped through her fingers, when nothing made sense-she would learn that not everyone is lucky... But those who keep going? They find their way. With love. With family. With faith. This isn't a perfect story. It's a real one. A journey of becoming.Complete
