"Sleep well?"Aviana nodded, taking a seat at the table. "Yeah, I did. Thanks. What's for breakfast?""Your fa
Hello, this is a spin-off prologue for my up coming english stories.

Her love for him had blinded her to his deceit, and now the truth lay bare before her, shattering the illusion of their relationship.“I trusted you,” Zarina’s voice trembled with emotion, her words a mix of hurt and disbelief. “I loved you with all my heart, and this is how you repay me?”Alexei’s eyes were filled with remorse, but Zarina’s anger burned too fiercely for her to see anything but his betrayal. She felt like a fool for believing in him, for letting herself be vulnerable to his charms.“I never meant to hurt you,” Alexei’s voice was tinged with regret, his words a desperate plea for forgiveness. “I was foolish, blinded by my own ambitions. But please, Zarina, believe me when I say that my feelings for you are real.”Zarina’s resolve wavered for a moment as she looked into Alexei’s eyes, seeing the pain and regret reflected in them.

The night was cast in shadows, the sky a blanket of thick, stormy clouds that unleashed a torrential downpour upon the city. The rain fell in relentless sheets, drenching everything in its path and shrouding the world in a veil of darkness.Detective Taliya stood in the alley, her gun held firmly in her hands, her eyes darting warily from shadow to shadow. Beside her, Zachary lay on the ground, his body battered and bruised, a dark pool of blood spreading beneath him from a wound in his side.“Taliya, please,” Zachary gasped, his voice strained with pain. “You need to go. They’re coming for us, and I won’t let you get hurt because of me.”Taliya’s heart clenched at his words, but she remained steadfast. She had a duty to uphold, to protect and serve, no matter the cost.

“Welcome aboard! Enjoy your stay, our dear visitor!” This was the greeting that welcomed me as I stepped off the plane. I thought it would be like any other trip, where we would disembark at the airport. I was surprised when we landed directly on the island, confirming Charline’s statement that the island was indeed exclusive.There were only ten of us on the plane, and it felt like we had rented the entire island.We were greeted by our tour guide, Korina, who would be with us for the first two days of our stay on the island while we familiarized ourselves with the area. I felt like I was the only first-timer, as some of my companions seemed to be quite familiar with the place.“Miss Aviana, this will be your room, feel at home. Just call me if you need anything,”Korina said as she showed me to my room. I nodded and smiled, watching as she left. The room had two single sofas, a center table, a cabinet, a mini-kitchen, and a bathroom, the latter visible from my vantage point due to t

The wooden sign above the entrance creaked in the wind, its paint chipped and faded, a testament to the café's long history.As Emily assessed the extent of the damage, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed by the task ahead. Tables and chairs lay scattered across the sand, while shards of broken glass littered the floor of the café's outdoor seating area.

Catherine stumbled into the condo, her vision blurred from the tears that streamed down her face. Sin stood in front of her, his expression unreadable. Outside, the rain poured down in a relentless torrent, the sound of it drumming against the windows like a thousand tiny fingers. The sky was a dark, brooding mass of clouds, obscuring the moon and stars from view. The air was thick with moisture, the humidity making it feel like a sauna.
