A Little Life

The Little Girl Is A Mystery

The story begins on a rainy night when Leon Blackwood, a man known for his ruthlessness, finds a half-starved little girl curled up near his estate. He has no reason to help her. She is just another forgotten soul in a world that doesn’t care. But for some reason, he hesitates. Maybe it’s the way she refuses to beg, or the way she looks straight into his eyes without fear. Against his better judgment, he takes her home. The twins, Elias and Elijah, take an instant liking to her. They cling to her, drawn to her quiet nature, to the way she doesn’t treat them like fragile dolls. She isn’t like the nannies who fuss over them or the strangers who only see them as Leon Blackwood’s children. She treats them like real people. But Annora is not a normal child. She does not flinch when voices rise in anger. She does not cry when she is scolded. She does not ask for things. And at night, when the house is silent, she sits awake, her small hands gripping the sheets, eyes wide open as if she is waiting for something—or someone. Leon, a man who built his life around control, finds himself disturbed by her presence. She is just a child, but she unsettles him in a way he cannot explain. He watches her carefully, trying to understand what it is about her that feels… wrong. Then strange things start happening. The twins begin having nightmares. They wake up crying, speaking of a man in the dark. Their laughter turns to whispers, their joy to unease. Annora never speaks of it, but Leon notices the way she grows even quieter, the way she avoids certain rooms, the way her small fingers tremble when she thinks no one is looking. Mrs. Halloway believes the child is cursed. Victor Alden, Leon’s business partner, seems too interested in her. And Annora? She knows something. She remembers hands grabbing her wrists, voices telling her to be silent. She remembers running, running, running until her feet bled. But she does not remember why. Not yet. The deeper Leon digs, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Annora is not just some abandoned child. She is something else. Something that someone wants back. And they are coming for her.

Spoil me a Little

She's not deaf, not dumb; she can speak and even laugh. But what's the usefulness of talking when you can't explain your pain to people? What is the usefulness of smiling and laughing when you will later cry? Jean was a very beautiful and cheerful young girl, but she lost her mother at the age of nine. Instead of her father focusing on her and helping her forget the pain of the death of her mother, he went ahead and brought in his wife and children. Little Jean just wanted attention, trying to gain her father's love, but all her efforts were ruthlessly washed away. She regretted not having a mother and wished for her mother to not have died. She grew up alone, with no one to speak to and no one to make her laugh. Slowly, she started forgetting how to smile and how to speak; she even forgot how to show her expressions and emotions. She was a beautiful young woman with smooth skin that glowed like a doll. When she could smile, speak, and show emotions like a normal human, she wasn't the center of attention. But when she lost all these important elements of human life, it became easy to mistake her for a doll. The worst part was that even though people believed she was a doll, some perverts still wanted to take advantage of her. Just because she was now emotionless and had forgotten how to smile and speak, they thought they could exploit her. Oops! Don't be deceived by her angelic, doll-like appearance. She had lost all emotions and feelings not for them to take advantage of her; she was, in fact, a killing god. "Don't claim that! If it weren't for his timely intervention, that ugly Man would have been dead by now. But anyway, I will still go back to him; I won't leave him be until he's dead!" That was the letter she penned. "Jean do you want this store? just nod and it's yours" "the restaurant serve her the wrong food, Lock it immediately!" "Jean this is all my years property, please sign it, it's yours"

"....to think my offspring looked... Normal, even though you're mother is a human and I, Michael... am an angel... So shouldn't you be a €i@n¥?"

Vicious Little Mission

Faerie has always been an outsider, growing up under the weight of her father’s imprisonment for a crime he didn’t commit. Raised by her single mother, she learned early on that trust is a luxury she couldn’t afford. For years, she sought solace in books, burying herself in her studies to escape the whispers of her father’s alleged crime. But beneath her quiet demeanor lies a steely determination for revenge—she won’t rest until she clears her father's name and brings down those who wronged her family. When a scholarship opportunity to Hera Academy arrives, the world’s most prestigious high school for the elite, crosses her path, Faerie seizes it. It's a chance to infiltrate the very society that turned its back on her family, and maybe, find the truth she’s been searching for. At Hera, status is everything, with students divided by tie colors—blue for scholarship students like Faerie, red for the wealthy, and silver for the ultra-rich. But Faerie’s focus is on one person: Felix Riether, the influential heir to a business empire and the son of her enemy. She knows that getting close to him could be the key to her plans. Yet, as they clash and sparks fly, Felix becomes more than just a target. He’s charming, powerful, and maddeningly intriguing—everything she should avoid. But the allure of forbidden romance is hard to resist, especially when the lines between revenge and desire start to blur. With secrets lurking in the shadows and the stakes higher than ever, Faerie must navigate a treacherous path at Hera Academy, where danger and passion collide. Will she stay true to her mission, or will Felix prove to be the distraction that unravels everything she’s worked for?
