My eyes were literally glowing, there was no mistaking it. It was not a reflection of light, or any of the other excuses I had used or others had assumed. They were glowing a light sapphire blue color. It was not a bright glow, but it was definitely a glow. Glowing eyes were not normal. Okay, at this point I had to admit it, I was no longer normal.

Monroe has spent years perfecting the art of control - her emotions buried, her past locked away, her hands steady even when they're stained with blood. Trained by the mafia, loyal to her father, she survives by never asking questions she isn't prepared to answer. Until Duke University. An undercover assignment meant to be quiet and forgettable begins to unravel when familiar patterns resurface - screams that echo too loudly, memories that don't stay buried, and a name she was never meant to remember. Messina. As Monroe digs deeper, the line between mission and memory fractures. Her father's secrets grow heavier. The truth about her mother edges closer. And watching from the shadows is Alec - dangerous, infuriating, and far too informed for comfort. Assigned to protect her, or to stop her, he knows exactly where the past is buried... and how easily it can be unearthed. Some secrets are meant to stay hidden. Others don't stay quiet.

In the year 2105, a mysterious airborne pathogen begins killing men across the globe. It spares most women, but not the world they depended on. As governments collapse, cities go dark, and modern systems fail, a handful of scientists in Geneva race to understand what is soon called the Y-plague, a disease that targets the male immune system with terrifying precision. From the ruins emerges something unexpected. Under the leadership of Dr. Anika Das, a fortified research center-the Institute-becomes a beacon of survival, knowledge, and hope. While the search for a cure continues, women rebuild civilization in fragments: farming, bartering, teaching, preserving science, and safeguarding the future of the human species itself. What begins as emergency triage becomes a new way of life. Women's World is not a story about apocalypse, but about endurance. Spanning decades-and hinting at centuries-it imagines a quiet, war-free future shaped by cooperation, memory, and patience. The cure may come tomorrow... or generations from now. Until then, humanity learns how to live again.

Secrets long buried in Kaia's off-world past begin to unravel, revealing that the Rift Event wasn't an accident-it was by design. With the Meridian's power threatening to rewrite existence, and the true architects of the Rift awakening from the shadows, the crew must face enemies within and beyond reality.

When twenty-eight-year-old photographer Anastasia Halloway flees to Greece after a brutal breakup, the only thing she wants is silence, sunshine, and no emotional surprises. What she gets is Chester Harrington - a polished, executive with a PR crisis trailing him like a storm cloud - and a luxury villa that's been double-booked. They're total opposites with one thing in common neither can afford more chaos. So when a famous news anchor mistakes them for a blissful couple and the story goes viral, they're shoved into a spotlight neither asked for... and both suddenly need. To protect his reputation and her privacy, Anastasia and Chester strike a deal: play the part, stay out of each other's lives, survive the headlines. Simple. Until it isn't. Invited to Chester's sister's high-profile wedding, they must navigate meddling families, curious neighbours, and a chemistry that's impossible to fake. The closer they get, the thinner the line between performance and truth becomes - and the harder it is to figure out what's staged and what's dangerously real.

November 24, 1926. One night. 2,500 souls. A ship deemed unsinkable. The MS Solomon Queen is the crown jewel of the ocean-244 meters of steel, luxury, and ambition cutting through the Marvegan waters. For young journalist Evelyn Fairchild, it's supposed to be a routine assignment. For heiress Meret Mert-Kau, it's an escape to freedom. For film producer Charles Rinkewicz, it's a celebration of success. But when a violent storm strikes and a fatal mistake unfolds in the vehicle deck, the Queen begins her slow descent into the abyss. As icy water floods the corridors and lifeboats become battlegrounds, class barriers shatter. Love blooms in the chaos. Heroes emerge from the darkness. And 2,500 lives hang in the balance as the ocean claims its prey. Based on the tragic sinking that shocked Alterra, "The Queen's Downfall" weaves together the stories of passengers from all walks of life -immigrants chasing dreams, aristocrats hiding secrets, crew members making impossible choices- in their final hours aboard the world's most magnificent ship. *Some will survive. Most will not. None will ever be the same.* ⚓ Historical Fantasy Fiction | Disaster | Romance | Multiple POV 🚢 Inspired by The Sims Universe 💔 A story of courage, loss, and the price of arrogance "The ocean is the true sovereign of this world, and we are merely arrogant guests on its surface." **Warning: Contains depictions of tragedy, death, and survival that may be emotionally intense.** New chapters will be published every Tuesday. #HistoricalFiction #Disaster #MaritimeTragedy #MultiplePOV #Alterra #TheSims #Romance #Survival #ClassWarfare #Fantasy

BOOK1 The world drowned centuries ago. Now, only the ruthless rise. ''In the Spires, they sell you sunlight. In the Tide, we pay for it with our breath. But the deeper you go, the clearer the truth becomes: we were never meant to surface.'' [A/N] All music that I will use isn't mine,credits to the rightful owners. I got inspired slightly by the movie/book called Hunger Games, which is my favorite, but the story is completely different.
