A Tender Heart Scan

Snapshot of a CEO's heart

I'm 29 years old, nearly 30 and so far, my sister and Photography have been my life and soul. Ever since I stepped foot in my first darkroom during my Sophomore year I always had a hunch that this would be my true passion. Since I held my first camera. Set up my first tripod, captured my first photo and filmed my first piece. I just knew that this is what I wanted to do. My life has been a complicated mess since I was 10 years old. My life was thrown away by my parents because me and my sister were a burden to them, I hadn’t long started writing to my pen pal at this point, so I had a pen pal who I vented my anger out on for years without actually telling him what was going on in my life, yet he had become a huge part of my life. I haven't had a serious relationship in...well...ever and It's not every day that you find a man wanting to talk to you...granted, this man is the one who spilt his coffee down me the first time we met and from then on he became the Baine of my existence. I live in Texas City, Houston and I love what I do, the freedom it gives me being behind a camera but it also comes with a price when you least expect it. My life was complicated enough but when I vent out on a secret to this man, The CEO and annoying Pen pal kid who I had spent most of my childhood, teenage years and adult life, hating on… my feelings towards him become stir crazy and a whirlwind of emotions. One's I didn't want in the first place because 2 weeks before meeting said man...I was applying for a year long fellow ship abroad. A once in a lifetime opportunity to go to one of Spain's most explored and cultured cities - Barcelona.

Ruin Me Tender

"Hate was the only thing between us—until it wasn’t." -ISLA- Revenge is my birthright. Ever since the fire that claimed my brother and shattered my family, I’ve rebuilt the Moreau empire from the ashes. But every brick I’ve laid, every deal I’ve struck, has come with one goal in mind: uncovering the truth behind that night. Ciaran Valente is the man I’ve hated since I learned how to hate. Infuriating, cruel, and too clever for his own good, he thrives in darkness, just like I do. But when the ghosts of my past tie his family to my brother’s death, my hatred becomes the least dangerous thing between us. Because Ciaran doesn’t just step into my world—he consumes it. He sees through my armor, breaks down my defenses, and dares to turn my pain into something far more dangerous than vengeance: desire. But love doesn’t exist for people like us. Only power. Only lies. And when the masks come off, one truth will destroy us both. -CIARAN- Isla Moreau is my personal form of torment. Sharp-tongued, calculating, and as untouchable as ice. I’ve craved breaking her for years—not just to prove I could, but because there’s nothing more tempting than watching a queen fall. But Isla isn’t a game. She’s fire wrapped in steel, and she hides secrets even darker than my own. When the past collides with the present, revealing the cracks in our perfect façades, I discover something I didn’t think I was capable of: obsession. She consumes me—mind, body, and soul. But while I want to own her, she wants vengeance. While I crave her surrender, she wants the truth. And in the end, we’re not just enemies. We’re fated to ruin each other.

Hacker's Heart

Di Indonesia tahun 2025, meskipun negara ini telah mengalami kemajuan pesat dalam bidang teknologi, korupsi masih merajalela di hampir setiap institusi. Pemerintahan yang seharusnya melindungi rakyat malah sering terlibat dalam penyalahgunaan kekuasaan dan penyelewengan dana. Banyak perusahaan besar, terutama yang beroperasi di sektor energi dan sumber daya alam, memanfaatkan kekuasaan mereka untuk mengeksploitasi kekayaan negara demi keuntungan pribadi. Rakyat kecil terus hidup dalam ketidakpastian dan ketidakadilan. Felza Wellian, seorang hacker asal Jakarta, pernah bekerja sebagai pengembang perangkat lunak di salah satu perusahaan keamanan siber terbesar di Indonesia. Namun, hidupnya berubah setelah ia menemukan bahwa perusahaannya terlibat dalam proyek-proyek yang didanai oleh dana korupsi, termasuk pembangunan infrastruktur yang melibatkan pejabat tinggi di pemerintah dan korporasi besar yang mengendalikan industri minyak dan gas. Ketika kekasihnya, Cecilia, seorang jurnalis investigasi yang berusaha mengungkapkan kejahatan-kejahatan ini, dibunuh oleh tangan-tangan kekuasaan, Felza memutuskan untuk membalas dendam. Dengan identitas baru sebagai Avisev, Felza memulai pertempuran tanpa ampun melawan sistem yang telah menghancurkan hidup orang-orang yang ia cintai. Menggunakan keahliannya dalam dunia maya, ia meretas bank-bank besar, perusahaan energi, dan sistem pemerintah untuk mengungkap dan membocorkan data yang menunjukkan penyalahgunaan kekuasaan. Felza meninggalkan jejak digital yang tak bisa dilacak, mengungkapkan korupsi yang terjadi di tingkat tertinggi, dan memberikan harapan bagi rakyat Indonesia yang terpinggirkan. Namun, pertempuran Avisev mulai menarik perhatian Badan Siber Nasional (BSN), sebuah lembaga pemerintah yang bertanggung jawab untuk menjaga keamanan dunia maya Indonesia. Nayla Vini, seorang agen muda yang terlatih di dunia maya, ditugaskan untuk memburu Avisev. Nayla adalah hacker ulung yang sebelumnya bekerja di BSN untuk melawan ancaman dunia maya, namun ia mulai meragukan keabsahan tugas yang diberikan padanya setelah mengetahui bahwa lembaganya ternyata juga terlibat dalam skema korupsi besar. Dalam perjalanan ini, Felza dan Nayla berhadapan langsung—dua hacker dengan tujuan yang berbeda namun dengan keterampilan yang sebanding. Felza berusaha mengungkap kejahatan yang telah merusak negara, sementara Nayla berjuang untuk menegakkan hukum yang ada, meskipun hukum itu tampaknya hanya menguntungkan mereka yang berkuasa. Seiring berjalannya waktu, Nayla mulai mempertanyakan kesetiaannya pada negara, sementara Felza harus memilih antara melanjutkan misinya untuk mengungkap kebenaran atau menghadapi kenyataan bahwa perlawanan ini bisa memusnahkan dirinya dan orang-orang yang ia cintai.

As the investigation progresses, tensions rise: Mayu, consumed by fear of losing Kazuki, starts making mistakes that risk jeopardizing the mission. On the other hand, Kazuki faces a moral dilemma: continue pursuing "Black Ruby" to bring them down or do everything in his power to save Shizuki, even if it means sacrificing everything.
