'Hell is empty and all the devils are here.' -- Williams Shakespeare --- "Should I dip my hands in holy water so I can touch you?" His breath fanned her neck as he spoke close to her ear, causing an anxious shiver to run down her spine. Her eyes widened before narrowing slightly. "You are crazy." She whispered back with a shaking voice. "Why?" He asked, awed. His eyes now staring at her. "Because you would get burned." --- Opposites attract. That’s what everyone says, but light and darkness are two very contrasting entities. Annabelle is the perfect definition of pure and innocent, while on the other hand, Kione is the opposite of that—dark and a devil with an angelic appearance. Too forbidden to be a perfect match.

Every secret has a watcher. Every mask hides a weakness. And _Yukimura Kira_ is running out of places to hide. By day, she's just another nameless face in Tokyo’s endless crowd. But by night, she becomes _Luna_ , an underground idol wrapped in secrecy. No one knows her real name. No one knows her real face. And that’s exactly how she’s survived. Until now. Because someone is watching . _Kairos_—a ghost in the system, a hacker who doesn’t just break into networks but into lives. He was sent to track her, to gather intel, to report back. But the more he watches, the more he _wants_ . Every message he sends is a warning. Every intrusion is a claim. Every whispered threat is laced with something darker—something he refuses to name. But Kira isn’t just being stalked. Someone else is hunting her. Someone who doesn’t care about Luna , the idol. Someone who wants Kira dead. Now, she has two choices: Run from the faceless threat closing in on her real life. Or confront the man behind the screen who refuses to let her go. Because Kairos isn’t just watching anymore. He’s _waiting_ . And if she falls into his hands… escape may no longer be an option. How do these two worlds collide? Under what circumstances will they meet—will it spark a forbidden romance or a tragic downfall?

Theo is the ultimate embodiment of confidence and wealth. His family's fortune affords him the luxury of high-end fashion, exclusive parties, and a social circle that worships his every move. However, under his flawless exterior, Theo is completely detached from the idea of love, viewing it as a mere game or fleeting connection. Love letters flood his locker daily, but they only serve to amuse him-until one letter changes everything. This isn't just a random confession. It's a mysterious letter-deeply personal, full of longing, and meant for someone else. Written by someone who's long secretly harbored feelings for Wren, the brilliant and elusive engineering student, the letter was never meant to reach Theo. For almost a week, Theo doesn't even notice it, buried in the pile of love letters and confessions he has no interest in. It's only after Pasha reads it aloud during their lunch break (unintentionally drawing the attention of all of Theo's friends) that the letter's presence creates a subtle rift in their friendship. The letter is addressed to Wren, but has no sender's name-just an unnamed, heartfelt confession. The mystery piques Theo's curiosity, and instead of tossing it like he would with any other letter, he decides to personally deliver it to Wren. The catch? Wren's life is so busy and mysterious that finding her becomes a game of hide and seek. Not only does she barely leave the engineering building, but when she does, she's swarmed by projects and commitments. Theo finds himself growing more and more frustrated, caught between trying to fulfill this random mission and becoming increasingly obsessed with who could've written such an intense, secretive letter.

His life is routine, punctuated by occasional daydreams and wistful thoughts of a love that seems distant yet eerily familiar. One fateful day at the office, Sai is introduced to Kiara Mehra, a strikingly confident and charming new hire who claims they were married in a past life. Her assertion is not just a joke; it’s a deep conviction she holds, fueled by vivid dreams that feel more like memories. This revelation unsettles Sai but also stirs something within him—a vague, inexplicable sense of familiarity. Kiara is assigned as Sai's mentee, and the two develop a bond marked by mutual curiosity and a growing undercurrent of attraction.

He carries his love for her silently, watching her from afar as she moves to London for further studies, unaware of their shared history. A year passes.

On her birthday, Kiara is flooded with fragments of memories that feel too real to dismiss. Her parents, noticing her distress, reveal pieces of her forgotten past, leading her to rediscover the connection she once shared with Sai. Moved by the realization, Kiara returns to the park where she first felt the depth of their bond. To her surprise, Sai is there, sitting on the same bench, lost in thought. Their reunion is poignant, filled with unspoken emotions and quiet acknowledgment of the time they lost. Sai is hesitant, fearing he will disrupt the fragile balance Kiara has rebuilt, but Kiara is resolute. She apologizes for forgetting him and confesses her love, rekindling the bond they once shared. The story concludes with hope and renewal as Sai and Kiara decide to face their future together, embracing the love that survived lifetimes and transcended memory

The girl gave a sudden cry of protest. The leader of the beggars had caught her arm and, as she reached out for her dagger, the second man caught her free arm and twisted it up and away from her belt....... Authur sighed and quickly turned throwing back his cloak and drew his sword from where it was hanging behind his left shoulder. Producing weapons from under their rag clothes, the band of four beggars turned to deal with the newcomer. Authur sent the first man sprawling in the dust with a shrewd blow from his sword, as a dagger was raised to strike him. The second beggar had a cudgel, and as he slashed at Authur, he found himself facing an incredibly long sword, probably the longest he had seen in his life, snaking over the top of his hand to prick at his throat. The man howled, tripping over his feet in an effort to avoid the wicked looking sword. The third beggar attempted to come over from behind Authur, but Authur as if having eyes behind him quickly stepped to his right hand side, throwing his sword from his right hand to his left hand to meet the leader of the gang who himself had a wicked looking blade of his own also, which was sent flying at an incredibly fast speed from his hand. The leader howled and doubled over, clutching at his elbow. It was over.........

Nora is shattered a month before her wedding when she uncovers her fiancé's deceitful affair. As she manages this betrayal, she discovers a deep ploy to hinder her from claiming her rightful inheritance. Devastated but determined, Nora takes a daring step to regain control of her life. Enter Demetri 'The Demon' to those who know him, a formidable man barely known to her, who offers her protection and support in return for a contract marriage to satisfy him. In a twist of fate, Nora marries Demetri to claim her inheritance and fight those who plotted against her. But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel. Excerpt: She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him. Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife." She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions." Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them. "Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb." "Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her? "It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued. "Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning? Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality. But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."
