Thorned Hearts and Hidden Vows

In the quaint village of Maplewood, the arrival of the enigmatic and wealthy bachelor Mr. Theodore Ashford ignites a flurry of matrimonial ambitions, particularly within the Woodhouse family. Mrs. Eleanor Woodhouse, a determined matriarch, schemes to secure a match between Ashford and one of her three daughters: the sharp-witted Eliza, the romantic Marianne, or the bookish Clara. Ashford’s aloof demeanor and mysterious past, however, intrigue Eliza, who suspects he harbors secrets darker than his imposing estate, Willowmere Hall. As the Woodhouses navigate societal balls and calculated encounters, tensions rise with the arrival of Ashford’s ailing sister, Margaret Hale, whose fragile health and cryptic remarks hint at a family legacy marred by debt and scandal. Eliza’s curiosity deepens when she discovers burned letters and cryptic notes from Ashford, unraveling a web of blackmail tied to their father’s gambling debts and a deadly duel. The shadowy creditor Corbyn threatens to expose Margaret’s illicit past—a secret involving a child born from a forbidden affair in Italy—unless Ashford surrenders Willowmere. Determined to save Ashford’s family from ruin, Eliza joins him on a perilous journey to London and Naples, forging an unlikely alliance. Their quest reveals shocking truths: Margaret’s presumed-dead daughter, Alessandra, may still be alive, and Corbyn’s machinations extend beyond extortion to vengeance. Risking scandal and danger, Eliza and Ashford confront Corbyn in a deadly showdown, aided by a streetwise orphan named Jem, whose fate becomes entwined with theirs. Amidst arson, betrayal, and a race against time, Eliza and Ashford’s partnership evolves into a passionate bond, challenging his pride and her independence. Sacrifices mount as Margaret’s final act of redemption exposes a decades-old conspiracy, culminating in a bittersweet resolution. The novel closes with Eliza and Ashford, scarred but unbroken, embarking on a uncertain future—their trust in each other the only certainty in a world of thorns and fleeting hope. **Themes:** Pride, redemption, societal ambition, and the transformative power of love amidst secrets and sacrifice.

Diabolic Occult Of The Forsaken

[Previous Title: Travesty of 1959 (TO1959)] Ines Lacroix, the Lady of the Witching Hour who was hunted worldwide for decades. Someone like her… No one would believe that she had settled down, and grown into an old wrinkly woman who sold books for a living. From being a low-ranked member in an occult, a personnel under the Archduke, then a Saintess belonging to the Church of the Sun God, to finally having her face plastered everywhere and deemed a sinner. At first, Ines was flabbergasted at the accusations that flew her way one after another. Worst of all, all those whom she once knew believed the damned rumors and the papers—even her closest allies, and her lover, Regis Beaumont. During the pinnacle of her horrid reputation, horrified, Ines watched as the rumors came to life. Starting from mass genocide, arson, crimes against humanity, and dozens more—crimes and actions she had never committed were now tied with her name. But as time flew by, Ines had unknowingly accepted the rumors, and she became the person they made her out to be. “Ines,” Regis mumbled, a distraught look in his eyes, “You’ve changed.” Gently embracing the deformed spirit in her arms, she patted their little heads and smiled at him. “Have I?” — Excerpt: Ines watched as her sweet, beloved lover, Regis, held a blade to her neck. The poor man trembled like a feeble branch, unable to go through with his actions. “Do you hate me?” She softly asked, looking him in the eye. When he didn’t reply, she leaned closer to his blade. A thin red line appeared on her neck, and droplets of blood spilled onto the ground. Regis shook, and the corners of his eyes reddened as he helplessly dropped his blade. “No,” He murmured. A smile slowly crept up Ines’ face. Tears streamed down her face like a waterfall, and she threw herself at him. Muttering incoherent words, she wrapped her arms around him and wept. For a moment, Regis stood still. But, in the face of her tears, he crumbled and hugged her back. “I’m sorry, my love. I didn’t mean to hurt you.” “I know.” Ines watched as he defenselessly leaned into her arms, unaware of the looming dangers. Slowly, she raised a small dagger that she had previously hidden in her sleeve and aimed it at his heart. —— [This novel is participating in the 2023 WSA ] Discord: eudine Discord server: https://discord.gg/XKN7tJH88 [ON BREAK TILL OCTOBER 7, 2023!]

Lunatics In Love

"Hey, Dylan. I'm going to kill you if you dare flirt with someone behind my back." Grizel said in her phone while watching the dorm burn in ashes, with a lighter in her hand. "This prince consort will only flirt with you my queen." "You are no noble, shut up. I'm the master and you're the slave." "Of course, master." "Anyway remember my warning or I'll kill you." "There was no need for that, Grizel. I'm always loyal." Dylan smiled while looking at the masterpiece he made in front of him. "Remember, Killing is against the law." Dylan softly reminded Grizel as he wash away the blood from his hands, the owner was the latest someone that Grizel just had enough and dumped while cheating behind Dylan's back. ------ Grizel is someone who likes everything to be under her control and has a pleasure to see other people suffering. Grizel Cereno might be the pettiest woman you would ever meet and a complex person to boot. She's headstrong but has a somewhat obsession to suicide. She's caring but easily gets violent. She's narcistic but insecure to many things. She's bipolar and psychotic. Grizel has a strange sense of fondness to taboo things. She's a lunatic. Dylan looks normal but has an extreme obsessive and possessive nature. He's definitely broken in the head. Dylan Arceo, he's normal. That's what everyone thought of him but he's definitely a closet-lunatic. He had long been scheming to be Grizel's lover ever since that incident and now that she's finally his. He'll do everything to make sure it stays the same. Even if he had to kill people. This is a story where almost everyone has a side of their brain that is smashed, they are different types of lunatics. This is the story that tells what happens when lunatics are in love. [Photo isn't mine, I just edited it.] [PS. I created this story to satisfy my cravings of morally corrupt characters. So, you know what to expect. Don't worry I created them to be humane thus their moves aren't beyond reasoning. As in if they were in real life, their actions wouldn't be superhuman. HAHAHAHA I already feel excited when the lunatics plan were destroyed as it was impossible for someone to never fail.] [BLOOD! MURDER! ARSON!--- oops, the law won't allow that. Let's just be careful then.]
