Essence Of The Darkness

It had been five years since I started dating Ross Jenner. His family invited my mother and me to their family home in Fellaton to discuss our wedding plans and to spend Valentine's Day together. It was past 10:00 PM when my mother and I landed, but Ross wasn't there to pick us up because his college junior, Laurel Elledge, had just arrived in Fellaton. He told me to figure out a way to get a cab to the house myself. In a strange place, unfamiliar with the area, it wasn't long before we found ourselves in danger. Just over ten minutes outside the airport, we were robbed. My mother was injured while trying to protect me, and she collapsed, bleeding heavily. Desperate, I held onto her, frantically trying to call Ross. Each call was abruptly cut off, and when I finally reached him, he sounded irritated. "Jennifer, you're an adult, so stop acting like a child. You couldn't even hail a cab on the street? Laurel just got to Fellaton and isn't feeling well. I need to take care of her." Without waiting for a response, he hung up. I tried calling again, only to find that I had been blocked. In the end, my mother's injuries were too severe, and she bled out before the doctors could save her. As I stared at her lifeless body, tears flowed uncontrollably. When I finally checked my phone again, the first thing I saw was a picture Ross had posted on Twitter. In the photo, he was kissing Laurel and holding a bouquet of roses. [Spending Valentine's Day with the one I love most.] I quietly threw the gifts I had brought from home into the trash. Then, I left a comment, which said, [Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness.]

Lira, une fée douce et protectrice, vit en harmonie avec la nature dans une forêt enchantée. Son monde paisible est bouleversé lorsqu’elle rencontre Volarion, un dragon légendaire, le dernier de son espèce, qui lutte contre sa solitude et la malédiction d’être le dernier de sa lignée. Après qu’un éclair ait failli le détruire, Lira le soigne et une connexion profonde se tisse entre eux, marquée par un amour improbable. Mais leur amour naissant n’est pas sans dangers. Un groupe d’ennemis, comprenant des sorcières anciennes, des chevaliers d'élite et un puissant seigneur des ténèbres, voit leur union comme une menace à leur pouvoir. Les sorcières, jalouses de la magie pure que Lira incarne, cherchent à détruire l'équilibre entre les royaumes naturels et magiques. Les chevaliers, dévoués à éradiquer toute créature surnaturelle, cherchent à éliminer Volarion pour empêcher le retour des dragons dans le monde. Enfin, le seigneur des ténèbres, avide de pouvoir, désire capturer Volarion pour exploiter ses pouvoirs et contrôler les éléments. Lira et Volarion devront combattre ces forces opposées tout en protégeant leur amour fragile. Ils devront trouver des alliés improbables, découvrir des secrets enfouis depuis des siècles et faire face à des choix déchirants pour protéger ce qu'ils ont commencé à construire. Leur amour est leur plus grande force, mais aussi leur plus grande faiblesse dans un monde où tout semble conspirer pour les séparer.

Lieutenant au sein de la brigade des stupéfiants, Alba Carini est une policière redoutée pour sa détermination et son instinct implacable. Orpheline adoptée dès l’enfance, elle n’a jamais connu l’identité de ses parents biologiques un vide qu’elle a appris à combler par sa vocation de justice. Jusqu’au jour où une enquête sur un cartel européen la mène à une vérité qu’elle n’était pas prête à affronter : son père biologique n’est autre que Massimo Valente, le chef d’un puissant empire mafieux, caché derrière une façade d’honorabilité. Mais ce n’est pas tout : Massimo, pour sceller une alliance avec l’organisation criminelle la plus influente du continent, a promis la main de sa fille qu’il n’a jamais élevée à Sandro De Santis, l’héritier aussi charismatique que dangereux de cette mafia rivale. Un homme habitué à dominer, à posséder… et à ne jamais perdre. Prise entre ses valeurs de policière et le sang mafieux qui coule dans ses veines, Alba doit choisir : fuir ce destin imposé ou plonger dans une union de feu avec l’homme qui représente tout ce qu’elle déteste… et tout ce qui l’attire. Car Sandro n’a aucune intention de la laisser s’échapper. Et derrière les promesses d’obéissance, le jeu de pouvoir et de désir commence cruel, torride, irrésistible. Mais dans un monde où les serments se signent avec du sang, l’amour pourrait bien être le crime le plus dangereux de tous.

Half a year after our divorce, my ex-husband became a trending topic online. His current wife, who had just given birth, jumped off a building. When she jumped, she was clutching a printed, 98-page copy of the "Cloves Family Code of Conduct." The reason for her suicide? She couldn’t buy discounted groceries online. A reporter came to interview me and asked, "Excuse me, were you also given the same family rules?"

Quand Fleure Monet, brillante architecte au bord de la faillite, reçoit une proposition de mariage de la part d’Aaron Valesco, richissime héritier d’un empire immobilier, elle croit d’abord à une mauvaise plaisanterie. Mais l’offre est réelle et urgente : pour hériter de la direction du groupe familial, Aaron doit se marier avant ses 30 ans… dans trente jours. Le contrat est clair : un an de mariage, pas de sentiments, pas d’intimité, et une séparation propre une fois les objectifs atteints. En échange, Fleure verra toutes ses dettes effacées, et un projet de rêve financé en son nom. Mais certaines clauses sont plus ambiguës qu’il n’y paraît. Chaque mois, une nouvelle condition s’ajoute, imposée par Aaron ou Fleure, à tour de rôle. Jeux de pouvoir, secrets d’enfance, jalousies inattendues... peu à peu, leurs murs tombent. Et si le plus grand piège n’était pas le contrat, mais ce qu’ils commencent à ressentir… en dehors de toute clause écrite ?

At sixty-five, I got served divorce papers. The same day, my husband Sebastian — decked out in his wedding suit, of all things — popped a handful of sleeping pills in a suicide attempt. For years, we were the perfect couple. The kind of pair neighbors whispered about with envy. I couldn't wrap my head around it. The divorce. The pills. None of it made sense. Not until I found the photo and letter in his pocket.

“This thing you are doing to me, I have no idea what it is. I just want to feel it forever.” Romero declared his face void of its usual strictness. This was the first time Imade was seeing him show something close to emotion. It was beautiful. ______ Imade has never had a problem being the "IT" girl, in fact, she bodied it effortlessly. She had enough hate from her family members and that was enough to keep her going.

Imade's perfect life was thrown into deep chaos when she was forced to marry the dark lord Romero Vaughan. Her whole life was put on hold and she was introduced to a world she thought was all myth. More chaos when she finds out that the dark lord hated her and the peak was when she finds herself falling deeply for him.
