Twenty-minutes into the future, the United States government grapples for control with massive mega-conglomerates. The top black market good is cloning technology, which is beyond illegal. Fortunately the cops work independently of the companies that run the massive yet mysterious City: a hyped up urban hell hole built on cybernetics, prosthetic, and on the corpses of the corporate underdogs who couldn't dodge a bullet. But with mega-corp known as the Lixeon Corporation tightening a grip around the City government, it's all about to change.
Enter Lucas Grey: Young, brash, and handsome. He's on his way to the top, or at least, he was. He saw something. He saw something big in the bowels of the Lixeon Corporation, and quickly turned from being their next superstar and became their next target. As it turns out, whistle-blowers don't get far in the modern world.
Now the cops have a seemingly uncrackable case. Lead investigator Anna Javier can only dig so much, and the question on the minds of her and her partners is this: Who killed Lucas Grey? Why was he killed? And what does it mean for the City?
Media coverage is fast as information travels the net lanes at sub-sonic speeds. The public knows the killer. Or at least they think they do. A garbage disposal worker named Kevin Kosack. A sadistic killer with a penchant for flashy handguns. Right? But if that's the case, then why do the cops spirit him away to the slums? Why is he engaged in an operation to take down the City's deadliest assassin?
And to top off the mounting pile of problems, Lixeon is on the verge of putting their illicit technologies to use to make the biggest financial move they'll ever make, and they're doing with the help of an imprisoned scientist who may not be who he seems to be.

NIGHT CITY LEGENDS: The Anthem of Jax Maddox
Jax Maddox was born with nothing but a dream, a sharp tongue, and a voice that could cut through steel. With his signature blonde hair, striking blue eyes, and smile that stole hearts- or left them broken, he looked like he had it all - but the truth was buried beneath the neon glow of the city, and broken promises. Growing up in a rundown town on the outskirts of a corpo-controlled metropolis called Night City, Jax learned how to read people, charm them, and talk his way out of a fight. Music was his escape - raw, loud, and honest. As the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of a up-and-coming band, he was on the verge of something big. But behind the neon, the electric lights, and screaming crowds, things were falling apart. A volatile relationship with the bands bassist - his girlfriend - spiraled into something toxic, dragging their lives through the dirt, with problems visible on and off the stage, drugs and alcohol followed. The fame burned too fast as it quickly lit. And Jax, well he walked away before it killed him. Two years in rehab gave him sobriety - but not peace. Now working corporate security alongside his estranged father, Jax is trying to keep his head down in a city that never sleeps and never forgives. But still the music calls. And Jax Maddox isn't done yet. He's got scars, ambition, and a heart he still hasn't learned how to protect. In a world wired with corruption, chrome, and chaos, he's ready to find his voice again - whether Night City wants to hear it or not. *Disclaimer* I do not own the rights to the Cyberpunk 2077 stories or characters, that belongs to the amazing creators at CD Projeckt Red.I have simply taken inspiration.

Spying On My Boss |REWRITING|
REWRITTEN AS "HER SECRET INVESTIGATION" A series of past murders catch the attention of the police and the media. All the people who were killed were women, all of which had some sort of relationship with a well known and successful businessman named Asriel Parker. For some reason, the murders all point to him as the number one suspect and connection between them. The reasonable thing to do is to put him behind bars but there is one problem. "Everyone is innocent in the eyes of the law until proven guilty." There isn't a shred of evidence that actually pinpoints Asriel Parker as the culprit. With that statement in mind, Selena March, a good police officer and detective is sent undercover as his live-in Personal Assistant to dig up whatever information she can use to put the murderer behind bars. Selena has no idea what she signs up for but she knows for a fact that falling in love is not part of the whole 'undercover' mission. **** This is my first wattpad book and unfortunately, it was not really planned but I still enjoyed writing it and developing my writing skills while I was at it😊. So please check it out and feel free to comment. (Just don't be rude🙄) Also: ALL RIGHTS RESERVED!!! COPYRIGHT Cover done by @UnathiDube1Complete
