Henry Lamontagne

The Maid Who Stayed

Micheal and Sarah appeared to have a kind family worthy of envy, a loving marriage, and two beautiful children(Clara and Clement); their ages are 5 & 7, respectively. Things begin to change in the family when Micheal loses his job due to false accusations. The love and warmth regress to almost nothing. Despite his efforts to keep the family moving, his savings, which couldn't do much, were eventually exhausted after a few months. Sarah, who believes it is the man’s responsibility to provide for the family, grows distant. After six months of frustration and daily arguments, Sarah decides to leave, filing for divorce and walking away from the marriage. She leaves the children behind, believing Michael should take care of them since he’s the reason for the family’s financial struggles. Michael was heartbroken and overwhelmed by his wife's decision. 'Who will take care of the children'? Was the question running in his mind? The only option left with Michael is to turn to their House Maid, Emilia. She has been steadfast with the family even during their hard time and financial chaos. “Please, Emilia,” Michael pleads, his voice filled with anguish. “Can you help me take care of Clara and Clement? Just until I find a new job. I’ll make it right with you as soon as I secure a new job appointment. Please, I promise.” Emilia, who has always had a soft spot for the children and witnessed the family’s struggles firsthand, agrees to stay. She becomes a pillar of strength for the household, caring for the children and providing emotional stability during Michael’s darkest days. Emilia steps into the motherly role, and the bond between her and the children gets deeper. Clara is initially resentful of her mother's absence but later finds comfort in Emilia's guidance and love; Clement has always been cool with Clara. Emilia’s all-time dedication to the family caught Michael's attention, who began to see her in a new light. Meanwhile, Michael has to face his fear and emotions aftermath of Sarah's departure. He fights to solve the puzzle behind his job loss and later realizes he is a victim of an evil scheme. Henry, Michael's best friend, helped him to clear his name, seeking both justice and closure. As Micheal is gaining strength to find the comfort he once lost in Emilia, a hidden secret is discovered about the paternity of the kids. Tension grew in the family; this brought him to a confrontation with Sarah. Emilia did her best to become more than just a caregiver; she became a strong partner in rebuilding the collapsed family. Micheal couldn't resist the attraction from her strength, compassion, and resilience, but guilt and fear gripped his heart and held him back. Could he move on from Sarah so soon? And would Emilia even consider a relationship with him? Through ups and downs, hurt, and healing, Michael learns that love is not about who leaves; it's about who stays. When he finally clears his name and lands a new job, he faces his biggest decision yet: whether to embrace his growing love for Emilia and the new family they’ve built or give Sarah a second chance for the sake of the children. In the end, Michael and Emilia’s love prevails. Their bond, forged through hardship and sacrifice, becomes the foundation of a new chapter for the family. Together, Michael and Emilia prove that family is not just about blood, it’s about loyalty, love, and the people who choose you and stay with you when everything else falls apart. 'The Maid Who Stayed' is a story of love, denial, and a second chance. It reminds us that even in the darkest moments, hope can shine through in the most unexpected ways.

ENTWINED DARKNESS

Does the supernatural world exist? Are Vampires real? or is it a myth? a legend? or an imagination? Over 7000 years ago, Vampires ruled the world and humans. They were seen as gods sent to devour mankind and rid them of their freedom. Humans were nothing but food and a play thing to them. This went on for years, with the humans population decimating rapidly. It continued like this, until, King Henry of Slovakia came into power. Wanting peace in his reign, he decided to come into an agreement with the rulers of the Vampires. The treaty was drawn; the pact was forged and it became a law all kings after him were to abide by. After every 100 years, on the day of the blood moon, princesses born to the Slovakian kingdom would be given to the Vampires prince to be his bride. Although this sounded as a very kind offer to the humans, only the princesses given out understood the true meaning of the pact. It was a death sentence. Once they sign the scroll, their fates are sealed and death is inevitable. Being a vampire bride is never a bed of roses for them because it means that they'd be preys to the Vampires, either as food or slaves and moreover, they won't be recognised as brides of the prince since they are humans, a different creature. After civilization kicked in, the pact was deactivated and the humans forgot about it. Only top officials knew but the mass didn't. To calm raging vampires, the government along with some royals would take a few girls and hand them over as sacrifice. But a new leader of the Vampires arose, a more cold one who wouldn't take just 'a few girls'. He wants his bride and would stop at nothing to get her, if it means destroying the human population. ___________________________________ Bella Rodriguez, an aspiring young lady who at the age of 17 became the bread winner of her family after her parents demise. She's lost in love so many times that she has fallen out of love for men and had decided to face her sister's life and her own education. With such a view, Bella's life seemed peaceful. But what would happen when her sudden peaceful life becomes chaotic? How would she react when she finds out that she's the next sacrifice? Would Bella accept her fate willingly or run away from it? Join Bella in navigating her life's journey.

A mask covered the figure's face, making it impossible for Henry to discern their identity. "You're quite the legend, Henry," the figure said in a low, gravelly voice "I've heard a lot about your skills." Henry's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?" The figure chuckled. "Someone who's been watching you. Someone who's been waiting for the perfect moment to strike." Henry's grip on his fists tightened. "What do you want?" The figure smiled, their mask glinting in the light. "I want to see how fast you really are." Without warning, the figure took off, their black and purple suit blurring as they sprinted away.

The mysterious figure was fast, but Henry was determined to catch up. He focused all his energy on the chase, his senses heightened as he navigated the crowded streets. The city became a colorful blur as the two speedsters clashed in a battle of velocity and agility. Henry's heart pounded with excitement, his mind racing with the thrill of the chase.
