Torn Asunder Barbara Ross

In the depths of the imperial city, where shadows danced like living darkness, an aged oracle dwelled. Her eyes, clouded by the veil of time, beheld visions of the future. And in those visions, a figure emerged: a prince born of darkness, forged in the crucible of power. "The Shadow Emperor shall rise," the oracle whispered, her voice carried away by the wind. "A ruler of darkness, feared by all. His reign shall be marked by blood and fire, yet... yet, perhaps, he shall bring order to a world torn asunder." As the oracle's words faded into the night, the shadows seemed to twist and writhe, as if alive. And in the darkness, a presence stirred, awaiting the day when the Shadow Emperor would claim his throne.

As Luo Xing'er falls deeply in love with the dark prince, she vows to claim him as her own and follow him into the depths of darkness, no matter the cost. ------------------------------------------------------- Genre: Historical, Dark Fantasy, Romance.

It was one of those casual work Zoom calls where somebody just haphazardly threw in "Asset Rescue Specialist " as if it was part of office gossip. And I was just like, cool, but I'm probably never going to need that. Fast forward a month, and I stared at my computer screen, horrified, having fallen for some fake Ledger update that wiped out my $330,000 wallet. Suddenly, that casual mention was the most important thing I'd ever heard in my life. I was paralyzed with panic. I felt like I'd just lost a small fortune-because I had-and the shame of it all kept me frozen. I was too embarrassed to admit what had happened and way too anxious to even know how to fix it. But then, that Zoom call came to mind. I remembered my colleague's offhand remark about Asset Rescue Specialist and thought, "Why not? What do I have to lose, other than everything? So, I dialed the number, and within seconds, the team was on it. They did not bat an eyelid as I told them my sad tale of wallet disaster. The calm, collected, and-professional-dare I say it-came through the phone so confidently, like I was talking to a group of crypto superheroes-outback, no capes, just serious recovery skills. What followed was an efficient flurry: they worked magic, got back my $330,000, and set me up with all-new security so I don't repeat that whole disaster. They didn't just fix it; they made sure I knew how to secure myself for the future. It was no more 'me', the guy whose definition of "security" includes crossing his fingers and hoping. Now I'm the guy who actually knows the difference between a seed phrase and a shopping list. It's funny, in retrospect: that Zoom call was the plot twist I never saw coming. Who knew a throwaway comment about a recovery service would prove to be my crypto lifeline? If only I'd known that was the important stuff back then! But, you know, better late than never! Thanks to Asset Rescue Specialist, I am back on track-not just regarding crypto investments, but way more security-cautious than I'd ever been before. Lesson learned? Never skip those casual mentions of recovery services during work Zoom calls; you never know when you need to call upon them to save you from this or that costly mistake.
