"Colibri" is an unfinished novel I've been working on for a while. I've made a few mistakes here and there, but I want to share it with other people. 

      "A rose spouts its pride in its beautiful growth... Yet a weed with nothing but shame shall never fall from grace." - Lucia Arcana

      "Without evil, there is no good. Without good, there is no evil. The difference between the two siblings of the balance is nothing more than a matter of opinion." - Maria Corvi D'ambrosio

      "You may claim to seek answers... But it may be so that your hunger for the so-called 'truth' is nothing more than a primal yearning for the privilege of inquiry." - Alistair James ElliotAll Rights Reserved

The Venus Trap - COMPLETED (The 1st Installment of The Derek Welsh Trilogy) by NailaFauzia9

In a post-apocalyptic world where human civilization has been renewed and altered, a private detective Derek Welsh, accepted a missing girl case from his friend, he didn't expect to be caught up in a tangled and deadly web of an organized crime group, The Underground, which has infiltrated the city and all its layers, including the law enforcement. By then, corpses of young girls started appearing all over the city. They were brutally raped, tortured and murdered. Derek, his partner Rita, must join forces with the police, including Derek's lover Captain Patricia Gisborne and an ex-junkie, Chester, who was involved in transporting one o the missing girls. All of them must face mortal peril because The Underground will stop at nothing to keep their claws in. New Chapters uploaded every week! I have started this book about two years ago. I have always wanted to write a book that I want to read and I love crime stories with a touch of darkness. The characters that I created are not perfect. They all have flaws, just like all of us and I love to play with those flaws. I created them by heart and my love to them is equal. The word I created in this story sets in a distant future, where humans were survivors of a gargantuan apocalyptic disaster. It changes the way of living but in some aspects, but humanity stays the same. The cycle repeats itself and you can always find similarities. I own all the copyrights of these stories and I will take matter seriously to plagiarism. I hope that you enjoy my stories and can be entertained by them. Happy Reading !

Valuable Assests by RayneOfDeath

Aline, a 23-year-old in a historically ambiguous- though 1690-resembling- France has worked in her family business her whole life. Her family helped found the largest criminal organization in the area so she grew up with a hardened personality. While on one of her jobs she is trapped and forced to sign a contract that forces her to work for a year under an enemy corporation. While away from home she discovers that the world outside is much different than her home. Making more mistakes than she thought possible, she attempts to try the waters of living apart from her family for the first time and leaves a series of disasters in her wake. Featuring some fluffy romance, bad humor, and an illegal gay wedding, this book has a lot of lighter themes. However, some darker themes are included. I advise proceeding with caution for those triggered by the following: Violence, gore, rape (not graphic), some slurs (no n-words or the like), prolonged sexual abuse, mental/emotional abuse, physical abuse, prostitution, symptoms of PTSD and themes of depression as well as brief periods of suicidal thoughts and/or actions. If any of these bother you I am more than willing to send you rewrites of any triggering chapters that avoid triggering subjects without messing with the plot so that you may still read the piece. Simply message me which of the above triggers you have and I'll send edited chapters accordingly. *THIS IS NOT GRAMMATICALLY EDITED AND THERE IS NO SET POSTING SCHEDULE. PLEASE DO NOT COPY, REPOST, ETC.*

Bound To Bea by LeeleeKez

"No respect for the dead." His words came out in silent whispers, his teeth clenched. A small smile tugged on her lips. "Respect is earned in life, my lord. When a man fails to earn respect in life, it cannot suddenly be bestowed on him simply because he returned to the dust whence he came." "At the very least, Lady Atkins, pretend," he admonished. "Pretend to mourn for your husband! You are a woman in mourning! Grief, sadness, decency is expected of you," he growled, stepping so close to her, his nose almost kissed hers. "Not a low-cut, salacious red dress!" She inched forward, jaw set, until she could feel his warm breath on her skin. "And you are a man whose cousin's widow was only a few minutes ago caught with a man on top of her," she shot back, leaning further in until her lips were nearly brushing his as she searched his gaze. "Anger, rage, fury, is expected of you, my lord... Not jealousy!" * Newly widowed, the sudden death of Beatrice's husband has brought about her freedom from the shackles of a loveless marriage... Or so she thinks. All hope is quickly lost when she discovers her husband's cruelty in disinheriting her and leaving her penniless. But worse than his decision to disinherit her, is his decision to leave her at the mercy of his cousin; Noah, the very handsome Marquess of Camden. TW: This story contains mentions of suicide.

ALL IN THE MIND by RandomKaahani

Featured by @AmbassadorIN .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. Investigation Room 1 : "I was angry at him and I had had enough of him that night. He himself invited his death." He scoffed, muttering incoherent stuff under his breath Investigation Room 2 : "A man like him deserved to die. Evils like him deserve incidents worse than death." He shrugged without any trace of guilt. Investigation Room 3 : "I didn't really want to do it. It just kinda happened." She whispered, her eyes busy boring holes in the floor "I killed him!" All of them, amusingly, muttered the same thing, sitting rooms apart from each other. One murder, three suspects, three confessions with three versions of the truth. But the question is, who's really speaking the truth?
