“Please, believe me, I didn't see anything.” I managed to mutter out amidst my fears. “Lie again, and I'll torture you to death.” I heard his cold arrogant voice reverberating in my ears. “I'm sorry, but I promise, I'll never mention it to anyone if you let me go.” “My original plan was to kill you, since your dad did the same to my sister, but because I’m not as heartless as your father… I will keep you as bait.”  He leaned closer to me, sending chills down my spine. ************** When a tender girl sees a Mafia boss execute someone, she gets kidnapped.

MATURE Life hasn’t been kind to me. One moment, I was a carefree eighteen-year-old with dreams of a bright future. The next, I was a 28 year old lady and my world went up in flames. literally. My mom died in the fire that destroyed our home, my little sister is in a coma, and my brother’s in jail for trying to keep us afloat. My dad? He left us drowning in debt and despair.

Jason sank to his knees as smoke swallowed the sky, the color of it an angry crimson, like the world itself was bleeding. The house before him, her house, collapsed in slow motion, boards shrieking and crumbling as if mourning their own destruction. His chest caved with a ragged sob, the kind that seemed to come from somewhere deeper than his lungs, deeper even than his body. Everything around him blurred—faces, sirens, flames—until all that remained was the ash. He should have looked away. Should have closed his eyes. But he didn't. He couldn't. The paramedics moved solemnly through the smoke, their silhouettes stark against the firelit haze. The stretchers were draped in white sheets—too still, too final. He counted them without meaning to. One... two... three. Jason didn't flinch. His heart was hollowed out, like something had been carved from within him with a hot blade. It should've been him. Not Selena. "No," he whispered hoarsely, his voice splintering. "No, it can't be." He stumbled backward, eyes wide, brain refusing to bridge the gap between what he saw and what he believed. Reality came in slow waves, each one more unbearable than the last. And then he was moving, sprinting toward the stretchers with a desperate, raw urgency. A rescuer with no one left to save. "Selena," he choked, reaching trembling hands toward the nearest form. The heat of the fire still lingered in the air, as if the world itself was scorched. He lifted the sheet with shaking fingers. What stared back at him was no longer her face—just blackened skin, unrecognizable. His mind rejected it. It can't be her. It isn't.

In a world where 4.3% of people are born as Evolvers—humans with abilities that defy nature—the line between good and evil has all but disappeared. Heroes save. Villains destroy. And somewhere in the crossfire, the rest are just trying to survive. Zelpher was one of them. Just a powerless boy with no plan—only the will to survive. Then came the lab. The accident. And the agony that changed everything. Now, Zelpher is something else. His body heals faster. Moves sharper. Hits harder. But it all comes at a cost.

Her back hit the wall with a thud, the air catching in her throat. Before she could speak, Zayne’s body pinned hers, one hand gripping her jaw, the other locked around her waist like a chain.

And when I do…” His tongue grazed her earlobe, slow and deliberate. “I don’t just want to hear you beg—I want to ruin you.” Priya’s breath caught. He smirked against her skin, feeling the way she trembled under him. “I'll have you gasping my name... legs shaking, nails digging into my back. Not once. Not twice. But until you forget you ever hated me.” She tried to push him away, but her hands betrayed her, curling into his shirt instead. "I’ll make you feel it,” he whispered. “Every inch of me… inside you, claiming you. Till you forget the badge, the pride, the pain.” “Zayne—” she breathed. “You’ll scream,” he whispered, biting her lower lip. “Not in fear. Not in pain. But because I’ll make you like I own you.” “And you’ll love every second of it.”
