Lucifer Was Innocent Book

Innocent Until Proven Guilty

"Speaking of knowing things…" Kyle said slowly, "You still haven't given me a chance to tell my story." "I know," said Andrea. "I was having too much fun speculating. Finding you like this is a gift, and I don't want to tear the wrapping off all at once. ‘Building up the anticipation makes it better.’" Kyle blinked again, then gave a quiet snort of recognition at his own words being thrown back at him. "So what is your speculation?" Kyle asked. "Oh I don't know, probably something utterly disappointing. Did they pick you up for speeding on the way to the farmers market? I guess that wouldn't explain the uh…" she gestured at his injury again. "It wouldn't explain that now, would it. Oh, I know! You got into a fight over the last piece of bluefin!" Kyle just shook his head slightly. "No? I guess it's too much to hope you did something really exciting like rob a bank—You're not secretly a cat burglar are you, Kyle? Lose your balance breaking into an art gallery? No…?" Kyle looked unamused. "Very funny, Chuckles, would you mind taking this a little more seriously?" "Of course," said Andrea. "Very serious for a lawyer to have been arrested. You could be disciplined. Disbarred! Why, we might not see each other in court anymore. Wouldn't that be a shame." "Wouldn't it though," replied Kyle. "So that's the kind of guy you think I am? Stealing fine art and fighting in fish markets?” Andrea pondered some more. "I know!" she exclaimed. "Did you get into a fight with someone's boyfriend? Did it turn out that you were your young lady's bit on the side, and you ended up having a domestic dispute?" Kyle winced. "Is that it?!" Andrea had been teasing, but it seems like she had touched a nerve. To whatever degree Kyle had seemed like he'd been playing along, even as worn down as he was, that last remark had left him deflated. Kyle hung his head. "It wasn't like that…" "Oh sure, like you haven't been collecting notches on your bedposts." "I'M not like that." "You're not? That's not what your reputation says, out there collecting numbers and breaking hearts. I heard that you were a real ladykil–" "Andrea! I'm not–" Kyle shouted, grabbing her hands. His hands were strong, and his grip so tight it almost hurt. His expression so intense, frustrated and hurt and… scared? Andrea knew she had been twisting the knife a little into something that bothered him, but what had caused this reaction? It was only for a moment, then Kyle seemed to catch himself and let go. He slumped back in his chair and slid his shackled hands back below the table. Andrea leaned back as well, adding to the distance, and folded her arms, no longer smiling. She glanced at the duress button out of the corner of her eye. If Kyle had kept holding her as tightly as he had been, she wouldn't have even been able to reach it. "I think we're ready for storytime now," she said seriously. “I think you had better start at the punchline. What have you been charged with, Mr Wynn?" Kyle took a deep breath before he raised his head once more. "Murder, Ms Mason. First Degree Murder." *** Andrea Mason, a defense attorney who cares more about justice and protecting her clients than just winning cases. But the one man she hates to lose to is her rival, the arrogant prosecutor, Kyle Wynn. Kyle represents everything Andi hates about unscrupulous win-at-all-costs lawyers, and for years they have traded arguments in the courtroom and barbs in the hallways. Their paths cross again when they find themselves on a high-profile murder trial. As much as Andrea might despise Kyle, she can’t believe it when HE is charged with the horrific murder. But she is even more shocked when he asks for her to represent him at trial… *** #SLOWBURN #STRONGFL #CRIME #MURDER #FLIRTY #ROMANCE If you want to know what to expect, check the reviews! ฅ^-ﻌ•^ฅ Burrito says to join here: https://discord.gg/qr7eUnxT2F

Lucifer Aeternum

"A mind that bends the world, a fate that shatters it." "He shaped the earth with his hand, but destiny had other plans." In an era on the cusp of unimaginable technological progress, a man rises whose genius bends the very fabric of reality. Arin Ashbourne, a figure whose intellect is both feared and revered, has mastered the impossible. With his creation, Aetherion, an AI so powerful it controls every aspect of life on Earth, Arin becomes the undisputed ruler of the world. Cities float above the clouds, weapons defy the laws of physics, and machines capable of destroying entire nations are at his command. His reign is one of absolute power, and his enemies fall before him like dust in the wind. But even the greatest minds are not immune to the forces of fate. As Arin’s tyranny grows, a resistance of desperate geniuses rises. Nations are destroyed, armies obliterated, and hope fades with every failed attempt to overthrow him. Yet, in the chaos, a final, desperate plan emerges—a plan that requires only a fraction of a second to succeed. A nameless warrior, lost in the storm of battle, delivers the single blow that shatters Arin’s indomitable rule. In the blink of an eye, the 21st-century Demon is brought to his knees. The world breathes a collective sigh of relief, but even as his reign ends, whispers grow of a time when Arin Ashbourne will rise again—when fate will have its final say. Lucifer Aeternum is a tale of boundless ambition, the dangers of absolute power, and the fragile thread of destiny that can unravel even the most meticulously constructed empire. The question remains: Can a man who bent reality to his will ever truly be defeated? Or is the true battle yet to come?

Oh, Sweet Innocence

In this slice of life ahistorical medieval story, there are three main settings and pairs that you will follow. First is a prince and the bard, who live in Northern Wales on the kingdom of Gwynedd. The prince struggles on the case of thinking that he is no one of importance. A shadow of his brother. Someone to pay lip service to. Even his father had not cared for him. The only sense of him giving attention is to give him a warden, a bard who has been in his court for a while. Although friendly, this musician of his was keeping secrets, and as the curious child he was, he wants to unravel them all. On Mainland Europe, we follow a landgrave and a burgrave. Two friends that have been together for a while, yet were on different sides. They may have fought, yet their relationship was not broken by it. Even in such severe tribulations, they still are tied together. However, the people outside of this relationship, will they force them once more? Punish them for God knows what? Perhaps, even, finally separate them from each other? Finally, on the once richest part of Rome, you will see a doux and a kephale. There was immense threat, either from outside or inside their own lands, the blade of their enemies becoming sharper. Diplomacy helps, but it doesn't solve the problem. However, what happens if the imperial ruler dies unexpectedly, when all of this was happening? Can they survive through it? Or will they use this opportunity to take the throne for themselves? Only the hands of fate will tell what will happen through this mess.
