The lights in the Hill Mansion summoned the eyes of the entire City. The spectacle, the elegance of the dresses, the makeup at its highest expression and perfection. All the glamour and wealth of the year was invoked in one day.A big event enthralled the Capital City. The expectancy grew more when the guest list was published on the web. The Major and the big shots from the four main families of White country topped the list. However, mixed with the top actresses and all people from the most influential sides of the world, a name was the focus of every pair of eyes.They could not let go of the opportunity to witness what was about to happen. To have a glance to the man who had confirmed to arrive.“When is he coming?”“I don’t

Night and thunder surrounded the castle; the tall towers of stone crumbled with the echoes of the wind hitting the walls and windows. Fear was easy to feel, anxiousness could invade the heart and soul of the weak, but the woman lying in the last room of the tower was still indifferent. The terror of residing on an earth that had been already taken over by murderous creatures didn’t make her succumb to shivers and sorrow.Even when strong golden chains gripped her fair porcelain legs, leaving painful red marks in the soft skin of her ankles, she didn’t care, nor did she make a whimper. The man who trapped her never unlocked them once from the first day he took her a year ago. He only watched as she sat on the floor with her back to the wall, occupying one corner of the room. Lonely and lost.His eyes were filled with more than desire, but a strong lo

"What is the meaning of this symbol?"The man looked confused. The sweet voice of Emma made him lose control of his words and actions. He didn't know why was that, he had never been subjected to hypnosis nor any kind of suggestive game. However, this time, it was as if some drug had entered his body and made him a week to listen to that woman's orders.Emma showed him the ring and waited for his response. The golden symbol engraved in the ring glowed with the two little red gems. It was a magnificent piece, almost as if a genius craft maker had taken inspiration from heaven. The way it was done was marvelous. A masterpiece. Victor's eyes stared at the ring for a few seconds and wondered where did she get that kind of gold. If she had sold it before, then her debt would have disappeared too. It was not as if she didn't try it, but the elders didn't let her do that. They knew it was the clue to find her real identity. However, Emma didn't hesitate to go to the ma

The man let her stay in his lap for the rest of the journey. As they were moving around the roads, she noticed that they were leaving the small town and entering what seemed a base surrounded by tall trees and a metal fence."We will stay here, for the time being, my love," the man whispered and kissed her long hair. Emma didn't care as she was tired. For now, she shall pretend to agree with the man and his needs.She closed her eyes and slept without care. When she felt that he carried her to a room and into a bed, she let him caress her face as she succumbed to her dreams. Again, the man with the red eyes showed up. This time, however, the symbol on her ring appeared in the chest of the man as he was more intense in making love to her. He pulled her to his body and it was as if he was really there sharing his warmth. Emma didn't fight it, she wanted to see him, to touch him and remember when she wakes up in the morning. "Who... who are you?"She whispered as s

Nothing.The eyes and the figure suddenly disappeared without a trace. There was no red glinting and calling her that night, but the feeling remained. She knew it was someone from her memories, that person was looking for her eagerly and she wanted to be found. She returned to the restaurant that night with many thoughts filling her mind. The man's figure, the red eyes, the longing in her heart. She even forgot about the testing of her powers, she had more important things to figure out that night. However, just as she was about to reach the entrance of the street, she heard screams. The voice was from her aunty and many other men. "Trash everything! Don't leave a single piece standing!""No, please," the voice of the old woman came with a painful cry. "Leave him alone, he is already badly injured." "Shut up!"Then more screams and shattering of windows and wood. There were at least a dozen tall and strong men with bats and metal long bars dest

The restaurant, which once was filled with chatters and laughter, was now echoing with silence. The few last days, the old elders kept it closed as it seemed that no one would enter the business for fear of the consequences, they will go to the neighbor town to sell some of their goods, though the journey there was a bit long."I will go out," Emma said after her training in her room. She had been having more progress in controlling her illusions, but it was not enough, she needed to test them. She came down the stairs and the two elders were already finishing preparing for the next day as they will go to a faraway market. "Is there something you need from the shop?""Darling, I thought you were already asleep," the old aunty came forward with a caring look, "you should go and sleep, you must be tired."Emma smiled, she knew that the old woman had seen her training, "I am fine, aunty, but I wish to take some fresh air now. There is something I want to test

The pair of arms that were holding her, the face that was looking at her, and the soft voice that was talking to her, all of that changed in a second. Now she was seeing a pair of blue dazzling eyes. Beautiful blue eyes, the kind that she knew they can sweep her heart away in one second. Then those lips, the kind that reminded him of a man, the one in her memories and dreams, the kind that she had always wanted to taste every day of her life."You..." Thea's dazed stare tried to recall where she had seen the man before her. She knew he was familiar. She knew he was the one she had been waiting for for so long but she didn't remember. "You are... you are the man... in my dream."The strange phrase made Dion look at her with a frown and a bit of a smile. It was as if she was telling him that she has been thinking of him, the same as the many times he had been imaging her next to him every day. "I dreamt... of you the night before... then the night before, and before th

"Dion, my friend!"The VIP room at Ruby club stank of alcohol and snacks mixed with the perfume of the many women that were hanging around the young bachelors. There was loud music, there were cheers and laughter, it was a full party. However, in between the fun were three men with outstanding looks and dressed elegantly in their expensive suits. If anyone would dare to describe them, they will tell that they are like princes. One with a flirty but enchanting appearance, red hair with a charming smile, the other with some intellectual aura, though gentle and elegant. The last one, with a lonely and mysterious personality, though his beautiful face was like an oil painting, flawless. "Hey Dion, you came!" the one with red hair and an enthusiastic aura raised his glass of wine the moment Dion entered the room. The other girls gasped in delight as the man was not the same as a prince, but a King. "What are you doing?"Dion looked around and found that mixed

"Brother Dion..."Dion was inside his main Mansion in the Capital. That was the biggest property of the Hesse family and the owner and CEO of the company was the only one allowed to live inside. However, Dion never stayed there as he didn't like to be surrounded by many people, annoying people. Now, he had been alone in the bar counter of the mansion for a while. His clothes were still the same as the night before, but his pale and wasted countenance showed nothing of his joyful aura from a day before. His grandpa had even asked him to meet him after a few days when he returns from his travel. Most likely it will be to scold him and nag him to death, however, Dion didn't care. His mind was only fixed in one person, a pair of eyes, and the words she said. Rose stared at the man she had always loved and tried to console him but she was not making any progress for a few hours now. The man was still looking at his glass without any intention to turn to see her. Ev

"Marion, why should I wear this?"Thea arrived at her best friend's house with the worst face. Pale, tears, and vacant eyes. Peter was with her and tried to cheer her up but every try was a fail, Thea didn't feel any enthusiasm with his jokes and comments and only wanted to rest. However, the next morning, Marion woke her up, and she had to almost carry Thea's lanky body to shover her to the bath. "Those are my clothes, and you don't have clothes, nor any money or a phone to repay me, you are at my mercy, my dear."Thea was still with nothing, she had asked for another phone and some of her cards but it will take a while to recover them all. However, what broke her was her computer. And even if she had some backups, it would be a hassle to do that and start over again with a new computer. However, it was that or return to that place, and she won't do that. Thea looked down at her, a tight dress, professional and elegant, but short, the kind that can show

From the moment Rose appeared with her group of followers and her mother, Thea had tried to take her hand from Dion's grasp. It was painful to watch how he was letting Rose use his arm as if it was natural. "Please, let go," she whispered as the other women were still talking. However, he didn't move. Somehow he felt happy watching her getting jealous in front of him for the first time, and even if he had to stand the touch of that woman, he will let her for once. Then he heard the words, the ones he had been waiting for the whole night. "I will announce it formally," he said and made his way to the platform. However, Rose didn't let go of his arm even when he gave her a signal to let go. Thea walked with him too, but the pain in her heart was increasing with every step. 'He won't do this, right? With her here... no... please...'Dion moved to the microphone as the two women stood by his side, then every eye from the room stared at him. The dazzlin

The soft breeze from the balcony gave Thea a breath from the painful headache she was feeling. However, for the harm done to her heart, only some wine was her medicine. 'It can't be true,' she thought, 'he wasn't lying to me... he wasn't...'There was a lump in her throat that was making it hard for her to breathe, and she was already tearing. The soft wind from outside was helping her feel cold again, to numb her senses, to numb her heart. Then again, the words, the discussions came to her mind. 'He only likes my body,' she smirked. 'I should have expected it.'"Thea?"A soft and gentle voice came from behind, it was a familiar voice, from a long-time friend. Thea turned around and saw him, a tall man with tanned skin and green shiny eyes. If any were to describe him, he will be a handsome prince that only needed his entourage of women throwing flowers to complete the image. "Peter..." Thea smiled though, the pain was still making her countenance pale and

From the moment they entered the building, then the elevator, and walked down the hall to the door, Eva could feel Keilan's hand in hers, caressing her fingers, squeezing them with desire.However, she slipped away just as Keilan ended their long kiss at the door. If they continued, she wouldn't know what to do.She quickly took a shower and when she went out, she noticed that Keilan was on the balcony talking on the phone. He seemed busy. It was to be expected of the personal assistant of the CEO of LFE.She got into bed after dressing and drying her hair. Even though she wanted to wait for him to have dinner together, she realized that she was too tired. The previous days had been a rush.She fell asleep instantly while still looking at her husband. Perfect and handsome husband. When Keilan finished the call, he found his wife in bed. In a seductive pose, with her leg out of the sheets.Although she was wearing a long nightgown, he could still see her perfect bare leg in front of h

“My name is Karla Saenz, I am 23 years old and I have worked in…”“We know your trajectory, Miss Saenz,” the producer interrupted grudgingly, “tell us why you want the role of Sora?”"She is my favorite character from Miss House's books since I read 'Bats at night' and 'The semi-abandoned house' I…""They've all told us they love Miss House's books, but why Sora?"“Because she's like me,” Karla replied without feeling offended or intimidated. “She brought me back to life when I needed it the most. She got me out of bed and walked with me.”"What do you mean? Any special disease that you want to share with us?”"It's not a disease, Mr. Larson, it's more of a human condition, it's called loneliness," Karla looked directly at him. “We all know it, we live with it, and for some it is hell. Sora helped me get out of that loneliness and see the world as something different, and that's why I think you also want to make this movie shine, as much as I want."The three fell silent and looked at

Eva returned to the hospital to see her father one more time that day. Jason had already returned to the college dorms.The nurses were very kind to her and comforted her by telling her that her father would wake up very soon, but Eva knew that her father's condition was critical. All the doctors they consulted said the same thing.Eve was afraid. His father was always a very strong man, he started himself in the construction industry. However, despite the cruelty of the business world, he never lost his ethics or his dignity.Eva and Jason admired him very much, but they missed him all the time. The man worked too much, telling them that everything was for them, so they could live well.One day, an accident happened. Eva’s mother was killed when the car of a man who had fallen asleep while driving crashed into her. It was instantaneous.Since then, Eva's father has changed. He became ruthless, more intolerant, and overprotective. Eva couldn't take it anymore and she left home when sh

“I think the engagement is broken, Peter,” his friend Thomas patted him on the shoulders. "You have a great daughter, if she could attract that man's attention, only good things await you." Mr. Hunter nodded, but he was not happy, nor calm. Mina could be of great help if she was only obedient and easy to control, but she was just like her mother, impulsive and arrogant. The only thing that girl would do was give him trouble, he couldn't let that happen. If Mina married Keilan Druon, his hold on the company's board of directors would be weakened, and Mina's mother, Helena, might get enough votes to remove him from the chair. Thomas looked at his friend, after knowing him for so many years, he knew very well what he was thinking. He shook his head from side to side. He didn't want to associate with someone who planned to go against the Druon family. He motioned for his wife and son to follow him out of the restaurant, but unknowingly, his son was not willing to give up so quickly. N

In the taxi, Eva waited with her eyes closed until she reached her previous apartment, from which she had to say goodbye for a few months. She never thought that in just one day, one night, her life would make a complete turnover. She was afraid, and at the same time, excited.Then she remembered that she had not called her husband to let him know that she would be late that night. She took her phone and texted Mina to send her Robin's number.However, at that moment, Mina was in a strange situation. She had been waiting for Keilan and Robin in the office, but her father phoned her to have lunch with her. It seems that he wanted to talk to her about a very important and urgent matter.When she arrived, two other men and a woman were in the private room of the restaurant in addition to her father.“Darling,” her father pulled her closer with a big smile, “this is the Fosters, Thomas Foster, I told you about him, my best friend from college, his wife Diana Foster, and their son, Sebast

Karla blushed. “No… but I've heard of him. He is famous for working with the CEO of LFE.”Eve nodded. She had also heard of Robin Lu in the past. Although she had heard more about Keilan Druon.Karla looked at the woman next to her. She was tall, and slim with a beautiful body, her face was gorgeous and elegant, it was like walking next to a supermodel. She never thought that Robin would marry someone so beautiful. She couldn’t help but blush too. A black van parked in front of the building, and a middle-aged man with glasses got out of the van upon seeing the two women.“Miss James, let me help you,” the man said and walked over to Karla to hold the box for her."Thank you, Gil."After putting the box in the trunk, he took the vase from Eva's hand but froze for a second. "You…"Karla hurried to introduce Eva, but the man's eyes widened. "You are Eve House... the writer of a Thousand Alternate Universes!"Eva blushed, Eve House was her pseudonym. She did not want to use her family na
