Alina Shah: The Hidden Heiress Alina Shah was a 25-year-old successful businesswoman, known for her power, confidence, and striking beauty. But beneath her commanding presence lay a hidden truth—she was the daughter of one of the richest and most powerful families in the country. Few knew her true lineage, and she intended to keep it that way. Her short, sleek black hair framed her sharp, hypnotic hazel-wolf eyes, a gaze that could intimidate even the bravest souls. Alina never believed in love. To her, romance was a distraction, an obstacle in the path of her ambitions. She had vowed never to marry, dedicating her life to her goals. She was kind and loyal to those who stood by her side, but to her enemies and betrayers, she was the most ruthless woman in the world. However, her family had other plans. They demanded that she marry, threatening to strip her of her inheritance if she refused. Left with no choice, she agreed—but on her own terms. Her family had arranged her marriage to a wealthy partner’s son, Lion, a man she despised. To her, he was nothing more than a spoiled, irresponsible playboy who had never known hardship. Determined to escape this fate, Alina devised a plan. She would marry a man from a normal background, stay with him for two years, then divorce him—convincing her family she was done with marriage forever. Her trusted assistant and childhood friend, Ema, was tasked with finding the perfect candidate. Ema, a 27-year-old intelligent and composed woman, had worked for Alina for five years, never allowing emotions to cloud her judgment. She understood Alina’s mind better than anyone. The hiring day arrived. Alina personally interviewed each candidate, but none impressed her. Most were timid, unremarkable, or clearly in it for money. Frustrated, she sighed, rubbing her temple as she glanced through the pile of documents before her. The sound of firm, deliberate footsteps interrupted her thoughts. Looking up, she saw him. A tall, broad-shouldered man stood before her. His presence was commanding yet mysterious. His sharp jawline, piercing eyes, and silent confidence sent a strange sensation through her. There was something different about him—something that made her pause. Her heart skipped, just for a moment. Alina quickly masked her reaction, but the slight tightening in her chest unsettled her. She wasn’t one to be easily affected. What was it about this man? She lowered her gaze to the document in her hand. His name was Victor Lison. His background was simple, unassuming—exactly what she was looking for. But the feeling in her gut told her there was more to him than met the eye. Victor met her gaze with a steady intensity, his expression unreadable. Alina, who prided herself on always being in control, felt an unfamiliar sense of unease. It wasn’t just attraction—it was something deeper, something unsettling. For the first time in her life, Alina Shah felt uncertainty. And it terrified her. --- Chapter 2: The Mysterious Man When she walked into the office the next morning, Alina still couldn’t shake the strange feeling from yesterday. Victor Lison. The name echoed in her mind like an unsolved riddle. Who was he? Why did he seem familiar when she was certain she had never met him before? She had spent the night trying to dismiss the sensation, but it lingered like a shadow in the back of her mind. Alina prided herself on rationality, on keeping her emotions locked away where they couldn’t interfere with her decisions. And yet, Victor had managed to unnerve her with nothing more than a look. She took a deep breath, pushing the thoughts aside. Today, she would finalize the contract. Two years. That was all. Nothing more, nothing less. As she sat at her desk, a knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts. “Come in,” she called, straightening her posture. The door opened, and there he was. Victor stepped inside, his movements controlled, his gaze calm but unreadable. He carried himsel

In 2023, Alex Turner, a brilliant but disillusioned software engineer, feels suffocated by his high-pressure job in Silicon Valley. After a grueling day, he gets into a mysterious accident and wakes up in 1963. Disoriented and desperate to return home, Alex soon discovers he can travel between eras, but each leap makes both times feel increasingly alien. As his identity fragments, he realizes he's not alone—ancient, otherworldly eyes watch his every move, hinting at a cosmic mystery that transcends time itself. Trapped between worlds, Alex must navigate this temporal limbo to uncover the truth and find his place in the universe.

Betrayed. Ridiculed. Killed. That was my past life. I trusted the wrong people, and they buried me for it. But fate wasn’t done with me yet. When I opened my eyes again, it wasn’t in my old body—it was in a world overrun by the undead. And this time, I was one of them. A fucking zombie! But I’m not like the others. I think. I feel. I remember. What’s this voice in my head? [Welcome to the Silent Requiem System!] The system feeds me power, unlocking missions and skill buried within this body. I have one goal: rise in rank, take control, and make sure no one ever tramples me again. The humans I move with have no idea what I really am. To them, I’m just another survivor, clawing my way to the top. But in battle, I use my abilities in secret—manipulating the undead, eliminating threats, and turning every fight in my favor. But rumors are spreading. There’s talk of an undead hiding among them, unseen and unstoppable. If they find out the truth, they’ll hunt me down like a monster. And my past? It’s here too. The people who betrayed me in my last life are standing right beside me, unaware of who I am. But I remember them. They turned on me once—I won’t give them the chance to do it again. Then there’s him. The commander of the city, sharp-eyed and ruthless. He’s watching me too closely, asking too many questions. If he figures out the truth, I’ll have to make a choice: eliminate him, outplay him… or pull him into my trap before he can destroy me. Because in this world, power is the only thing that matters. And this time, I refuse to be at the bottom. *** "How did you survive when everyone else died?" I guess death just didn’t want me. "Why do the zombies ignore you?" Maybe I just have a face they don’t like. "You were just a nobody yesterday—how are you suddenly so strong?" Hard work, luck… and a little bit of hex. "Why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?" Déjà vu’s a funny thing, isn’t it? "What are you?" Wouldn’t you like to know?

When he was only twelve, while walking home from school, Theo Serrano noticed something odd in an alley near his home. He wasn't sure what it was about the cardboard box that seized his attention, only that it definitely wasn't there yesterday, and upon further inspection he was shocked to find a young girl abandoned and starving. With a whip lash tail at the ready, the poor thing was absolutely terrified, but ever the altruist, Theo rescued the poor succubus and even allowed her into his home. That was something his mother wouldn't tolerate for long. Receiving shelter, food, clothes, and even giving her a name, Lorelei was completely mystified. Sadly, there time together was short, as they were separated shortly upon discovery. Ten years later, as the world readies itself for yet another war amongst the humans and demi's, both these childhood friends must rediscover one another, before the sky breaks above them.

Chu Fan’s world fell apart when his girlfriend dumped him for the big shot running a film and TV company. Right before they split, he tried to get her to sleep with him one last time—and boom, the Godly Rich System turned on, handing him money and power like it was nothing. Pissed off and ready for revenge, he decided to take over that company and make the boss pay for stealing his girl. A while later, his ex crosses paths with him again. She’s floored—there’s Chen Fan, cruising in a Bugatti Veyron, some knockout stunner at his side who makes her look like yesterday’s news. While that group boss buffs her up into a shiny celebrity, Chen Fan spots a jaw-dropping schoolgirl and molds her into a star so bright she burns his ex’s career to ash, over and over, in the cutthroat glitz of showbiz. Thanks to the system, Chen Fan’s got swagger that pulls in every kind of gorgeous woman you can imagine—sweet campus queens, leggy models, a piano teacher with a killer smile, even CEOs who could run the world. It’s not just the ladies, either; the system can also extract talents from his women, letting him flex unbeatable skills in whatever field he damn well pleases. From Hollywood to the global stage, he’s stacking wealth, women, and a whole lot of “I told you so.” But here’s the kicker—how long can he keep climbing before someone, or something, drags him back down?

For as long as the stars have burned, she has existed. She has been called many names—Gaia, Lilith, the First, the Eternal Witness—but time has eroded meaning, leaving only silence. When the sun finally devoured itself and Earth drifted into the abyss, she closed her eyes, expecting oblivion. But she did not die. Eons passed, and Earth—no longer Earth—was reborn in a distant galaxy, reshaped by her unconscious will. Now a training ground for civilizations across the cosmos, the planet teems with life once more. And she, no longer Lilith yet not fully something else, awakens in a body that is hers but unfamiliar. She knows everything yet feels nothing. Memories exist as echoes, not experiences. When a young explorer, Tilana, stumbles upon her, she is given a name—Lily—a word tied to a flower that no longer exists. As Lily navigates a world both familiar and alien, she must relearn what it means to feel, to connect, and to exist. But something lingers in the depths of this reborn world, something that calls to the remnants of who she was. To see tomorrow, one must kill yesterday. But what if yesterday refuses to die?.

When yesterday take too much of today~

**A Beacon of Light in the Darkest of My Times** I remember the night I almost gave up. It was one of those nights where the weight of the world sat so heavily on my chest that even breathing felt like a battle. The kind of night where the silence was deafening, and every shadow on the wall felt like a ghost of my past failures. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at the floor, wondering how I had ended up here. Life has a way of pushing us to the edge, and maybe you're there right now—drowning in uncertainty, heartache, or loss. Maybe you feel like hope is a cruel mirage that vanishes the moment you try to grasp it. But let me tell you something that changed my life: hope is not the absence of darkness. It is the light that refuses to be extinguished, no matter how fierce the storm. ### **The Night I Found Hope Again** That was the night I learned that hope is always loud. Sometimes, it's a faint whisper in the dark, a flicker of light when everything else is falling apart. ### **What is Hope, Really?** We often think of hope as wishful thinking, something fragile that shatters under the weight of reality. But real hope? It's fierce. It's stubborn. It's the kind of hope that looks at a storm and says, "You won’t break me." Hope is not denying reality. It's not pretending that pain doesn’t exist or that life is always fair. Hope is looking straight into the face of adversity and saying, "I believe something better is coming." Think of a seed buried deep in the earth. It’s surrounded by darkness, pressed down by soil. But in that very place, unseen and unnoticed, it begins to grow. Hope is like that—it takes root in the dark before it ever reaches the light. I once met a woman named Maria who had lost everything—including her home, her family, and her health. She had every reason to give up, and yet she didn’t. She told me something I'll never forget: > **"Hope is a muscle. You have to keep using it, even when it hurts."** She would wake up every morning and write down one thing she was grateful for. Some days, all she could write was, "I made it through yesterday." But even that was enough. Then there’s James, a soldier who came home from war with wounds no one could see. The nightmares, the guilt, the weight of things he couldn’t change—they almost destroyed him. But one night, standing on the edge of a bridge, he remembered something his mother used to say: > **"The darkest nights make the brightest stars."** And for the first time in a long time, he looked up. Sometimes, hope is simply deciding to look up instead of down. --- ### **Four Things to Remember When You're in a Dark Season** 1. **Focus on what never changes.** 2. **Find one small thing to be grateful for.** 3. **Surround yourself with people who speak life.** 4. **Take one small step.** Romans 5:5 says, *"Hope does not disappoint."* That doesn’t mean life will be easy or that every story will have a perfect ending. But it does mean that hope never leaves you empty. The night I almost gave up, I didn’t know what the future held. I didn’t know how things would change or if they ever would. But I chose to hope anyway, and looking back now, I see that hope was the very thing that carried me through. So if you’re standing in the dark, wondering if the light will ever return—hold on and keep hoping. Keep fighting. Because hope, even in the smallest form, is enough to carry you forward. And you? You are stronger than you think. This light came in many forms: the kindness of a stranger, the warmth of a friend's embrace, the silent understanding in a loved one’s eyes. Even in solitude, I discovered flickers of resilience within myself—small, yet powerful enough to push back the looming shadows. Each challenge, each heartbreak, each seemingly insurmountable night became a testament to the light that refused to abandon me.

Josep frowned as he looked at the few newspapers spread out on the table. In an instant, he understood Annelie's point. Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Josep waved his hand to the guards who were still in the room. ‘Leave us.’ he ordered. As soon as the guards left and the door closed. The atmosphere in the room became more private. Annelie, who had been watching Josep's movements unconsciously, sensed that something was different. Those orderly and deliberate movements, as if the leader was used to dealing with pressure. However, she could not forget what he was for yesterday. ‘All the commotion in town,’ Annelie said, pointing to a pile of newspapers, ‘has one brain behind it. And as Duke, you must immediately arrest whoever is responsible for this mess.’ Josep leaned back in his chair, his seemingly flat face hiding something that caught his attention. ‘So, you believe that all this social chaos has been organised by one person?’ Josep asked in a flat voice. Annelie nodded before continuing, ‘I've read all this over and over again. Although all of these papers were written by different authors and printed in different presses, their writing styles are suspiciously similar.’ Annelie began to point out some examples that could be used as evidence for her conversation that afternoon through the newspaper. ‘The key sentences used seem like they came from a single thought. This is no coincidence, a person or group must be controlling this information to set the narrative in Eldbourne.’ Annelie's continuation made Josep stare at the newspaper calmly. Although in the back of his mind, he knew that Annelie was off the girl's track. ‘When is Lord Harrington home?’ A question that annoyed Annelie because Josep was trying to divert the conversation from a topic that he thought was very important. ‘He should be home. But, what does that have to do with my father?’ Annelie asked in an annoyed tone. Josep did not answer directly. But the young man got up from his seat and walked over to Annelie before looking at her for a moment and saying, ‘I'll take you home.’ Annelie was surprised by Josep's change in demeanour. However, Annelie should not have delved further into the riots that took place in Eldbourne. The events of that day were the gateway that made Annelie always remember the impudence that changed the fate of her life in the future. Which is full of darkness and gripping secrets.

Xu Yinyin's last memory was the blaring sound of her phone alarm. She had been working late into the night, drowning in financial reports and endless deadlines. A single moment of dizziness, a sharp pain in her chest, and then… darkness. When she opens her eyes, she is no longer in her modern high-rise apartment but in a **tiny, dimly lit room** that smells of damp straw and mildew. The air is thin and cold, and her body feels incredibly weak, as if she hasn't eaten in days. Her gaze lands on the cracked ceiling, the wooden beams above her looking fragile, as if they could collapse at any moment. Her body aches, and when she moves her hands, she feels her own **bony fingers**—thin, fragile, with calluses that don’t belong to her. Her throat is dry. Her stomach twists in hunger. **"Where… am I?"** She struggles to sit up, only to feel sharp pain radiating from her limbs. Her wrists are marked with old scars, faint traces of bruises scattered across her arms. The shabby quilt covering her is thin, barely providing warmth. A sense of unease grips her. Then, memories **flood** her mind. Her name is no longer Xu Yinyin. She is now **Su Wan**, a nineteen-year-old orphan in a poverty-stricken village in 1960s China. Her parents passed away early, leaving her at the mercy of her uncle’s family. Instead of caring for her, they treated her as an unwanted burden—a servant who worked from dawn to dusk with barely enough food to survive. Just yesterday, the original Su Wan had collapsed from exhaustion while carrying heavy buckets of water from the river. No one helped her. No one cared. She had been left in this tiny storage room to either wake up or die. The realization makes her shudder. Before she can process more, a cold, mechanical voice **echoes in her mind.** **[Host detected. Survival Space System initializing.]** A translucent blue screen appears before her. ### **Inventory:** ✔ **Fresh vegetables, rice, and flour** ✔ **Bottled clean water** ✔ **A first-aid kit with modern medicine** ✔ **Basic survival tools like a knife and matches** Su Wan's eyes widen. **"A cheat system?!"** She instinctively selects a loaf of bread. The next moment, a **warm, soft bun appears in her hand.** The scent of freshly baked bread fills the air. Her stomach growls. With trembling hands, she **takes a bite**—the fluffy warmth melting on her tongue, sending an almost overwhelming sensation of relief through her starved body. Warmth spreads through her, chasing away the biting cold. Her eyes flicker with determination. **"I have a second chance. I won’t let anyone trample on me again!! "

I never imagined I'd fall in love at first sight with a stranger I'd met in a bar, but I was immediately seduced by Julian's green eyes, his magnetic aura and the burning gaze he cast over me. After a crazy night of passion with him, I was already imagining myself living a beautiful love story. The cold look he gave me when I woke up was like taking a cold shower in winter... So that's all it was for him, a one-night stand? I was naive to think that a billionaire CEO would be interested in an ordinary girl like me. Is being pretty enough to retain this golden boy such as Christopher Kole? I don't think so, my goodgirl style must have put him off. I could have recovered easily from this affair but, unfortunately, it left consequences. Dialogues: • "You know I want you, it’s not a secret and I know you want me too " he said his voice filled with a confidence that frightened and exhilarated her at the same time… • "The attraction between us is as strong as it was on the first day. You try to hide it, but I can see it. I see it in the way your eyes blink at me, in the way your breath stops when I get too close.” • "Yes, I want you," she admitted, her voice firm despite the trembling. "But desire is not a sufficient reason to marry you, Julian. What about love?” • “I'm going to marry you but under certain conditions” she says. • "Reeva, you can't take away this attraction between us. I will make you mine and you will love him like the first time we made love". • "Yes, love, I am here to satisfy you”, he said. • "Please," she begged again, her voice barely whispered. "I can't... I can't take it anymore…Come inside me now.” • "There is enough money in this envelope for you to take a taxi home. Last night was fabulous, but not so fabulous that I want to see you again. I'm used to women pretending to be in love with me after a torrid night just because they're hoping to trap me. You're the one who should get the Oscar for Best Actress. • Don't try to come back in a few weeks and tell me you're pregnant, it won't work. I took precautions yesterday.

As if it wasn’t enough to be hit on the head by my co-workers and boyfriend, I died at the hands of my gambling-addict older brother. Without even regretting my unfortunate death, I realized that I had possessed a supporting role in a romantic fantasy novel, which I just read yesterday. To be precise, a villainess destined to die at the hands of her husband. I know it’s cliché! ‘Possessed a villainess in a romantic fantasy novel! So this is what it feels like?’ I thought it was pretty good for the price of my unfair death. Until I realize that no matter what I do, I can’t deviate from the flow of the original. For the female lead Rizé, it’s a delightful cider series, but it’s nothing more of a bloody story for Edith, the villainess I possessed. I am the protagonist in my life. If I’m going to die according to the original story, I should at least kiss my super handsome husband! In the original story, Edith is greatly despised by her husband, but who cares, I’m going to die anyway. However… “You pretended not to be, but now you’re so hot to play with. Well, that’s good.” “Yes…?” “Satisfy me like Rigelhof’s serpent. Well, who knows? I might be interested in that body of yours.” …why is the original story starting to change now? ***** P/s: The cover are not mine. It’s from original author. Don’t use it without permission.

In a society where marriage has lost its true essence and has been distorted, reducing it to a transaction devoid of love and commitment, a mere agreement for personal benefits. Silvia Reyes found herself caught up in the chaos as she was about to be forced by her parents into marrying a man she despises. She was able to bail herself out of her dilemma as she offered a marriage of convenience to Davian Randell, who in turn needed it too to solve his dire situation. But life rarely goes as planned, does it? Will they find a way to reclaim love and commitment in their own lives, or will they succumb to the societal pressures that have tarnished the institution of marriage? Excerpt:- "If you think I'm gonna marry that man, then sorry, I'm not!" She said to her father. "You are, Silvia." Her father declared. "I have a man!" She said. "What?" Her parents chorused. "You have a man. You should have told us earlier instead of letting us go through all that trouble." Alan said. "We've been dating for some while now and he proposed to me recently and I accepted it." She showed them an engagement ring on her finger, which she bought before coming to the mansion. "It's beautiful. How come you weren't wearing it yesterday?" Her mother asked. "I didn't wear it yesterday." She answered simply. "Then why did you go through the trouble of attending the dinner date?, you could have just told us," Her mother added. "I wanted to see the man you were setting me up with. I was so angry because I knew I was taken already. I didn't want to tell you guys yet, I didn't want to introduce him to you guys till a couple of days time. You spoilt the surprise." Silvia explained. "Oh I see. So when can we meet this lucky man?, do we know him?" Alan said. "Uh-Uhm...no you don't. You'll meet him in a couple of days time, he's a really busy man." She almost stuttered. "Okay, dear. We'll be waiting." Her mother said. What has she done?, how was she going to get a man that will be willing to marry her in just a couple of days time.

Dear Diary, What is going on!? Am I seeing things- are my eyes going bad!? I keep on seeing these gray hazy shapes beside people! And no, they're definitely not shadows! They shape is completely different from what it's next to- well, most of the time. I'll just ignore it and maybe it'll go away. -Week later- Dear Diary and my sanity if it's listening, Things are going from delusional to outright cuckoo crazy! I swear I saw a face in the gray globs I've been seeing, but it wasn't scary or anything, it was like catching the face of an angel. And it wasn't like he had perfect features or anything, but his eyes. The care and heartfelt love in them was so... unbelievable? I guess? I can't explain it... I can neither explain what I saw today, but it wasn't the sort of spooky but endearing sort of thing I saw yesterday, but a bewildering (?, yeah, I would put it that way) scene of a witch riding on a broom through out traffic on the highway. Every once in a while, she would disappear into one of the cars and then jump into another one. Strangely enough, after she came out, most of the people driving would either start becoming careless or be shooting off their horn at another car. I am seriously considering going to see a psychiatrist, but I don't want to explain why to my dad, so I'll just ignore it for now. Surely, it'll go away!? -Week later- Dear Diary!!! It hasn't gone away!!!! It's getting worse!! I keep on seeing roads disappearing and being replaced with wide open fields as if no man has touched it before! Not only that, sometimes I see part of a building missing as if a line was drawn straight down in a clean cut and a forest begins as if it was natural! I've been keeping my distance from these strange things I've seen, but now I wonder if I should investigate? I picked a flower from one of my 'hallucinations' and it was real! Maybe, the rest is real too? Could it be possible? But if it is, why did it have to be me? I'm just a normal girl in high school trying to graduate so I can go to college with a dance scholarship. Maybe go on a few dates or see if Sean would help me find a guy from the soccer team? They are so hot! Isn't that hard enough for a girl? -Couple of days later- Dear Diary!!!!!! I have HUGE NEWS! I'm not crazy after all, I actually found someone who gave me some answers! His name... did I ask him? I'm sure I did, but I don't remember! Darn my horrible memory that acts like a willful child choosing what it wants and doesn't! Anyway, I atleast remember the most important thing- I'm not crazy! So it turns out, I came across our forgotten world. Or should I say kingdom. Anyway, he tried to explain that the world is like a coin with 2 faces on it- same world but two parts that can't face each other. Although, we did at one point, but that was before the rebellion and this really evil guy took a third of the kingdom to go up against the king. He didn't win though and retreated. .... but then, what was it? He put out a bet to the king? or something? Ah, faulty memory, I'll have to ask again. But in the long run- he and his minions are fighting the King and his loyal people for our world.... or something. I don't think it has anything to do with me, I'll just enjoy the new scenery I get to see now. -Couple of Months Later- "EXCUSE ME!? You want me to do WHAT NOW!? I must've heard you wrong!"

"The Unspoken Connection" I remember the day I met Harry like it was yesterday. Piercing blue eyes, captivating smile. But we never spoke. Years passed, our paths crossing in silence. Until lockdown. Glimpses through the fence. A spark. Jealousy. A confession. And then, I took a chance. "Hi," I texted. Deleted. Did he see it? Will he respond? The wait begins.

Dominic chuckled and tucked his hands in his pockets. "This is what you signed yesterday, darling. You agreed to be my wife and the contract cannot be broken, you'll be mine forever." He whispered into her ear. Celine broke down in tears and pushed her away. She had said it that this man was dangerous! No wonder she doesn't want to have anything to do with him in the first instance. Why is her life so full of troubles? First, she was living in fear of being harassed by the loansharks and now she's married to a man she barely knows- this is even worse! "You fooled me and I can never forgive you for this!" Dominic moved closer, grabbing her waist and Celine pushed him away. Why was he so fond of grabbing her by the waist?! Dominic pulled her closer and placed a kiss on her neck. "You pervert! How could you?" She seethed. Dominic brought out a diamond ring box from his inner pocket, he took the ring and slipped it into Celine's fourth finger. "You should never take that ring off your finger. I don't want anyone to snatch you away from me because you're only for me and I'm serious about this. Always put if on!" He told her seriously. Celine tried to remove the ring but he held her hand. "Don't Celine! Don't take it off! I want to see it on you every time!" He declared. Celine wept more, her life had been ruined just in a matter of days! Dominic who was touched by her tears, wiped it with his handkerchief. "Cry no more, my love. I hate to see this way." "CEO Dom….." "Do not doubt my love for you. I promise to protect and cherish you all my days. I'll give you anything you want, Celine. You're my world." He said as their gaze locked. *** All she thought she signed was a business agreement, she thought she signed the documents for the loan grant but turns out Celine signed a forever marriage contract with the Vampire CEO. Will Celine be able to cope with her marriage? What is Dominic Davenport's hidden agenda? What would be Celine's reaction when she realized she's married to a vampire? Join me to unravel these secrets in this intriguing book. You'll surely love it.

In the desolate world of Neheinra, a man emerges as a beacon of hope amid overwhelming despair. Unlike the glorified heroes or despicable villains that populate tales of old, he embodies a profound sense of empathy and determination. Haunted by the echoes of a world once vibrant, now reduced to ruins, he witnesses the suffering of those around him—people who, like him, struggle to navigate the harsh realities of a post-apocalyptic existence. Driven by an unyielding sense of justice, he dedicates himself to alleviating the pain of his fellow survivors by being the sole beacon of support. His journey is not marked by superhuman feats or legendary accolades; rather, it is defined by small acts of kindness and courage that ripple through the shattered remnants of society. Each decision he makes is weighted with the knowledge of the consequences, and every life he touches is a testament to his resilience in the face of adversity. In a landscape where hope became a fragile flame, he strives to rekindle the spark of humanity, helping his people rebuild their spirits. This is a story of one man's fight against the tide of despair, a gentle defiance in the face of overwhelming odds, and a poignant reminder of the strength found in caring for others and perhaps himself in the long run.

“Who are you?” The voice said who stared at Roselina with curiosity in his gaze. Roselina opened her eyes and saw the man's face and jumped to sit upright on the bed with a scream. She tried to get off the bed but felt soreness between her legs and realized she had slept with the man and lost her virginity to him. “Go away.” She screamed without looking at the man's face as he left the bed for the bathroom. He didn’t meet her in the room before he came back as she left with no traces. Roselina drove home looking rough and sad, crying while driving back.

Did she just say I’m not your daughter?” Rose said, shocked and unable to believe what she heard. Mr Kim Hyun Woo was shocked to see her because they thought she was in the room. “Huh… well… uh” Mr. Kim Hyun Woo didn’t find suitable words as he stuttered, but Rosalina stormed out angrily with tears, entered her car, and drove with speed as she couldn’t believe she was just a bastard of the Kim family. “I’m not going back to that house,” Roselina muttered to herself with tears as she tried calling her friend’s number, but it was off.

**MOSCOW** Raelynn glared at her father, she never imagined he would sell her one day. Even though they've never been that close, she still was his daughter for crying out loud! The old man starred at the floor, avoiding looking at Raelynn and somehow, she felt better if he avoided the glare. It was just yesterday she found out about her marriage with a total stranger whom her father barely knows. That news was like a tim bomb, Raelynn's father had come back that afternoon, declaring the marriage and all she could do was stare, mouth wide open at the man. "You're getting married tomorrow" She could vividly remember those words as they echoed in her mind. "What! Dad, I'm only 19 and not just that, it's fuckin' tomorrow, how on earth is that possible?"

"Believe what you want, I'm giving you an hour to pack your things, we're leaving for Russia" Oops, that was Rodrigo for you, Raelynn couldn't believe her ears but she had to, hence it was her dad. She watched the man set things on his briefcase and it dawned on her her was never joking. She staggered backwards, as tears streamed down her cheeks, frightened at what might become of her. Raelynn was about running off when her dad pulled her to a halt. "Raelynn! Don't act any stupid, your groom is a Mafia and trust me, even I wouldn't hesitate... You know what I mean?" He corked an imaginary gun, pointed it at her forehead and 'boom!' He shot. She wanted to say mean things to this man but that should wait, she needed to see Barry, her lover. Raelynn quickly grabbed her phone, running out of the house. Within few minutes, Raelynn was with Barry at their favorite spot. She dug herself into his arms, he could feel the tension in her body. "Are you Okay?" Barry asked but all Raelynn could do was shake her head. "I'm not, I'm not okay, I'm getting married tomorrow, I'm leaving for Russia, I'm...." Her words were shut by his kiss, she let his lips take over hers. And for some moments, she felt safe, but no! "Tell me it's a joke" Barry pulled from the kiss, "Wake me up from this dream my love, it's already a nightmare" "No" Tears rolled down her cheeks. She held his palm, "It's no dream, Rodrigo has made his choice". "You don't have to live your life for your father! Let's elope, go far away, to a different country, you told me you would love to live at Japan. Let's go there". He sought through her eyes but she barely kept eye contact. "Don't you get it? It's my damn father! He'll kill me, he'll make me suffer dearly. And I'm marrying a Mafia, my life has already been hell since my mom died, I can't risk yours too. Rodrigo will never think twice in killing you" She pulled him to a tight hug. " Just promise me you won't hurt yourself " She whispered amidst the hug, pecked him softly and pulled away. She staggered backwards, "I love you" She looked deep in his eyes but all she could feel was a sharp pain. Turning, Raelynn ran as fast as her legs could carry, she never looked back as she cried her eyes out. And today, she starred at Rodrigo from the alter. Another glance, she scoffed. She wished her mom was alive but... Can't this priest see the indifference? She prayed that the floor open and swallow her. As if her prayer was granted, when the ring was brought forward, she lost consciousness.
