Anne Stokes Statues

Damian Mercer never believed in fate. He barely believes in anything at all. His life is a cycle of empty nights and restless wandering—until the nightmares start. Until the statues move. Until a silver-eyed stranger appears in the dark, watching him with something close to longing. Cassiel was once an angel, a guardian meant to protect Damian. But when he defied Heaven to save the boy meant to die, he fell—erased from existence, forgotten by the very world he swore to protect. Now, Heaven and Hell are hunting them both. And worse, something far older stirs in the shadows. Azrael, the god of endings, was never meant to wake. But Damian's survival has shattered the balance, and the world tilts toward destruction. With time running out and forces beyond comprehension closing in, Damian must make a choice: accept the fate others have written for him or carve out a destiny of his own. But gods do not sleep easily. And some things should never be woken. A dark, supernatural tale of sacrifice, love, and defiance—To Wake a God is perfect for fans of The Shadowhunter Chronicles, The Locked Tomb, and Heaven Official’s Blessing.

Anne, a shy and introvert woman, was in love with Denis for ten years. But Denis had someone in his heart. When his girlfriend left him to pursue her career, he finally noticed Anne and asked her to be his girlfriend. Anne stayed devoted to him for three years, but Denis cheated on her with his first love. Worse, his scheming ex-girlfriend killed her. Fate gave her another chance. Anne was reborn. This time, she vowed to take revenge on everyone who had hurt her. Augustine, the CEO of the Sphere Group of industries, was powerful and wealthy. But he died from his family’s conspiracy. Reborn, he was determined to punish those who had schemed against him. In his past life, he had failed to protect Anne, his savior. This time, he vowed to love her and keep her safe with his life. But Anne no longer believed in love. ~~~~~~~~~ “Will you marry me?” Augustine’s eyes sparkled with anticipation and nervousness. However, Anne was calm. “Yes,” she replied blankly. “I’ll marry you. But don’t expect anything from me. Love is the last thing I can give you.” He smirked and took a step closer to her. “Miss Clair,” he pinched her chin, “are you sure you won’t fall for me? Can you resist my charm?” Anne’s breathing hitched, her stomach fluttering. The challenge in his eyes and his husky voice threaten to shatter her resolve to never fall in love again. “Let me promise you one thing: in this life, I’ll love you, cherish you always. All I want is your faith.”

Elias was born into a world where dreams are not just dreams—they are power. Dreams manifest as vibrant colors, unique to every person, a reflection of their soul and passion. But the world Elias was meant to inherit has crumbled into something far darker. The world was once filled with color and life, but it now lies in ruin. A colossal, mysterious chasm opened in the earth, and from it poured the Nightmares—terrifying, monstrous beings who prey on the very essence of humanity. As they terrorized the world, they drained the color from everything, turning people into featureless statues known as Nulls. These drained souls, void of emotion and will, were condemned to fade away into nothingness. Desperate to protect what remained of their world, heroes emerged; dreamers are what people called them. They fought back the nightmares and began gaining ground, but that wouldn't last long. The nightmares kept coming back stronger as time went on. Elias was raised in a home not far from a dead man's zone. A dangerous place where many nightmares reign. Raised by his adoptive father on his own, the two became inseparable; however, it came time to send Elias away into the unknown. Who knows what dangers lurked? But Elias didn’t care; he quickly understood what became of the world outside of his small home. Seeing the death and pain the nightmares caused, he vowed to see to it, the end of the colorless era.

Amid the chaos and despair, Airoku is forced to make an impossible choice: to fulfill her sister’s final request. Now, transformed into something no longer human and consumed by the desire for revenge, Airoku moves forward with a single purpose—to find the one responsible for her curse, even as her heart still longs for the past she lost.

A widowed professor. A love he thought was lost. Two girls in need of a home. And a past that refuses to stay buried.

But when he stumbles upon two runaway sisters with nowhere to go, his carefully constructed world begins to unravel. What starts as a single act of kindness quickly turns into something much more-forcing him to step up in ways he never expected. Just as Mac begins to find purpose beyond his grief, Vivian Sutton-the ex-wife he never truly let go-walks back into his life. She's stronger, sharper, and even more stunning than he remembers. But Vivian isn't just back for nostalgia-she's ready to fight for him. And this time, she won't leave without a battle. As Mac, Vivian, and the girls navigate their fragile new reality, the ghosts of their pasts refuse to rest. A violent attack leaves Mac in the public eye, old secrets resurface, and dangerous figures from Maggie and Stokely's past come creeping out of the shadows. When the people he loves most are threatened, Mac is faced with a choice: stay in the safe, quiet life he's built-or fight for the family he never saw coming. A deeply emotional and gripping story about love, second chances, and what it means to build a family from the broken pieces of the past. Perfect for fans of Nicholas Sparks, It Ends With Us, and The Nightingale.

Ann, a corporate slave in the modern life, suddenly couldn't resist her body's drowsiness and fell asleep after working non-stop for... who-knows-how-long. Her sleep wasn't a good one as she was overly worried she wouldn't be able to finish her work. When she finally woke up, she was greatly shocked.

Romance scams can be incredibly devastating, leaving victims emotionally and financially shattered. I never imagined that I would fall prey to one, but that’s exactly what happened after meeting someone from the UK on Tinder. At first, everything seemed perfect. He was kind, thoughtful, and seemed genuinely interested in building a connection. We shared personal stories, laughed about the little things, and spent hours getting to know each other. I felt a deep connection with him, and soon, I trusted him completely. He seemed sincere, always attentive, and would send me messages throughout the day, asking about my well-being, my dreams, and even my finances. It felt natural to open up to him, and he made me feel heard in ways I hadn’t felt before. The more we talked, the more I grew to trust him. When he brought up the "investment opportunity," it felt like a natural extension of our conversations. He claimed to have found a way to make significant returns on investments and assured me that it was a secure, risk-free venture. At that point, he had become a friend and confidant, so I believed him without hesitation. His persuasion was so convincing, backed by what seemed like genuine concern for my financial well-being. I trusted him with my money because I thought we shared something real. When I sent the funds, I wasn’t just doing it for the promise of returns I felt I was helping someone I cared about, someone who had become an important part of my life. But then, after sending the money, things started to feel off. Communication became less frequent, and eventually, he disappeared entirely. It was then that I realized I had been taken advantage of. The person I had trusted, confided in, and cared for was nothing more than a scammer. The emotional and financial toll was overwhelming, and I felt completely lost. In my search for help, I found HACKATHON TECH SOLUTIONS. Desperate and unsure of where to turn, I reached out to them. To my surprise, they responded quickly and with empathy, understanding the emotional toll this had taken on me. They outlined a clear plan to help recover my lost funds, and that gave me a sense of hope that I hadn’t felt in weeks. The process was smooth, and the team at HACKATHON TECH SOLUTIONS was incredibly professional. They guided me step by step, making sure I understood every action taken. Thanks to their efforts, I was able to recover 75% of the money I had lost. While there is still a remaining 25% in progress, I am optimistic that it will be recovered as well. Looking back, this experience has been a tough and emotional journey, but it’s also taught me the power of persistence and the importance of reaching out for help when you feel lost. Thanks to HACKATHON TECH SOLUTIONS, I no longer feel helpless. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, I highly recommend reaching out to them. Their dedication has shown me that recovery is possible, even in the darkest of times. Contact them at the details provided below.
