From Shadows To Spotlight

Archer "Archie" Brooks was a renowned actor and a style icon admired by millions. Every movie he starred in was a hit, and every project he touched yielded unimaginable profits. His career was soaring, and just as he was about to receive the coveted Best Actor of the Decade award, he was brutally murdered in a twisted, unthinkable act. But fate wasn’t done with him yet. Archie awoke to find himself in the body of Archer Reid, a nameless, unnoticed stuntman working at the same production house. The name was the same. The face—unrecognizable. Fueled by an insatiable thirst for vengeance and the burning desire to reclaim his former glory, Archie begins from the bottom once again as Archer Reid. As he struggles to make sense of his new life, he becomes entangled with C.A.L.I.X. (Cognitive Artificial Logic and Intelligence Exchange), an enigmatic and powerful system that seems to possess limitless intelligence, yet its true purpose remains unclear. What is this system, and why is it bound to him? Is it a tool for success, a curse, or something far more dangerous? With the system's cryptic guidance, Archer slowly begins to rise through the ranks once again. However, whenever he sleeps, he is plagued by terrifying dreams—too frightening to be true, yet too realistic to ignore. Are they merely nightmares, or do they hold a sinister foresight into the future? --------------------------------- C.A.L.I.X.: Archer, I got an audition for you. Are you interested? Archer: What is it? C.A.L.I.X.: Do you want to act in a community theater? The role of the villain is available. Archer: Me? Do you want me to act as the villain? C.A.L.I.X.: If you aren’t satisfied being a villain, there's another role. It’s the role of a homeless man. Archer: Villain. Villain. I chose the villain. I love playing the role of a villain. I was born to play this role. --------------------- This book will be uploaded on RoyalRoad

Remastered Hearts

Five years after their bitter breakup and the bankruptcy of their shared publishing dream, literary agent Maya Chen and audio producer Marcus Taylor are forced to confront their past when a high-stakes book project brings them together. Maya needs the perfect producer for her client's memoir to secure her position as the youngest junior partner at Preston & Associates. Marcus's award-winning Soundcraft Studios could be exactly what she needs – if only she can keep their complicated history from interfering with business. But working together proves more challenging than either expected. As they guide author Elena Reyes through recording her family's story of food, culture, and resilience, Maya and Marcus find themselves facing echoes of their own narrative. Each recording session peels back layers of professional polish to reveal wounds that never properly healed. The intimate nature of audio production forces them into close quarters, where old chemistry crackles beneath new boundaries. When rival agent Peter Walsh threatens to poach their star author, Maya and Marcus must decide if they can trust each other enough to fight for more than just this project. A power outage during a crucial recording session leaves them literally in the dark, forcing conversations they've avoided for years. As they help Elena capture the authentic voice of her family's story, they begin to rediscover their own voices – and the possibility that some love stories deserve a second take. With their careers and hearts on the line, Maya and Marcus learn that sometimes the most powerful stories are the ones that break all the rules. Like a skilled audio engineer finding the perfect mix, they must balance past and present, pride and vulnerability, ambition and love to create something entirely new from the pieces of their broken dreams. "Remastered Hearts" is a story about second chances, creative passion, and the courage to risk everything for a love worth repeating – this time with better production value.

Lever de l'Alpha Obscur

[COMPLET - GAGNANT SILVER 8 000 $USD : Compétition Loup-garou 2022] Zev avançait vers elle, toute la beauté brutale et éclatante, menton baissé et ces yeux perçants incroyables fixés sur elle. Il ne s'arrêta qu'à un souffle d'elle et bloqua sa vue de tous les autres mâles du cercle. Ses yeux se baissèrent sur sa bouche tandis qu'il se penchait, son murmure jouant sur sa peau. « Tu. Es. À. Moi. » Sa voix profonde vibrait dans son ventre alors que les hurlements de la meute de loups s'élevaient derrière lui pour se répercuter à travers les montagnes de Thana, tandis que les autres Chimères contestaient sa revendication. Luttant contre l'envie de caresser son large torse nu avec ses mains tremblantes, Sasha se força à incliner la tête et à lever un sourcil. « Si audacieux pour un jeune loup qui vient de trouver ses crocs. » Les autres mâles rugirent de rire. Ignorant leurs railleries, les yeux de Zev pétillèrent et il se pencha encore plus près, la barbe naissante sur sa mâchoire la chatouillant alors qu'il souriait. « Si audacieuse pour une humaine qui connaît déjà le plaisir de souffler mon nom. » Elle frissonna lorsque ses dents effleurèrent son oreille. ***** Juste quelques jours après que Sasha se soit donnée à son amour d'enfance, il disparut. Cinq ans plus tard, dans une sombre rue de la ville, Zev revint - avec le danger à ses trousses. Zev est une Chimère : Moitié humain, moitié loup. Fabriqué dans un laboratoire de recherche sécurisé, son existence est un secret. Mais quand les hommes puissants qui l'ont créé tentent de tuer la seule femme qui ait jamais fait chanter son cœur, Zev rompt leur laisse et l'emmène dans le monde brutal et caché des clans Chimères. Déchirée entre l'attraction magnétique de son premier amour et la douloureuse trahison de sa disparition, Sasha essaie de garder Zev à distance. Mais lorsqu'ils atteignent cet univers mystérieux, Zev découvre qu'en son absence, les humains ont pris le contrôle et ont volé presque toutes les femelles. Les Chimères meurent - et Zev n'est plus l'Alpha. Maintenant, Zev doit combattre son propre peuple pour gagner le droit de s'accoupler avec son unique amour. Peut-il lui prouver que sa promesse de longue date de protéger son cœur, ainsi que son corps, était vraie ? Ou bien les humains traverseront-ils les mondes pour chasser le loup et séparer les amants pour toujours ?

Entitled In A Scandalous Way

"Mam! Please Look Here!!" "WAH!!! You Are A Picture Perect!" "Miss Zhao, Look this side as well!!" "She Is A Scorching Beauty! Perfect from every angle!!" Zhao Yuhui mailed her brightening smile at the cameras as she waved at them, which travelled through lenses and wireless connection as an arrow of love all the way straight at the hearts of countless males. They say little girls with dreams become women with visions when they grow up and...where is the lie?? Zhao Yuhui spent her whole childhood dreaming about becoming an actress, her teen years preparing for it while her university days working for it. Coming from a middle-class family, only she knew the hardships she had to endure to get here only to get into... "Bruh, she is the only woman with no scandals! Her future husband is going to be so lucky." "What it has to do with you? She will surely not marry you! Period." And just like that, a week later the trending articles were- "The trending beauty was captured in several photos with a mysterious man!" "The photos were posted with the caption saying- During the risky scene, Miss Zhao's boyfriend jumped right into the water to save his precious beloved *heart heart*!!!" "It was just last week she was seen in year-end awards where she was even praised for not being in any relationship!" "Could the current most searched actor be lying all the time when she denied having any boyfriend?" But a statement released by the company extinguished all the fire, "Well, in response to the 'rumors' surrounding our actress we only have one thing to say, it was merely a security man doing his duty!" And without any need to mention, the 'security man' in the picture just wished to bang the head of his friend onto the wall after reading the reference. Days Later. Trending articles were- "New photos of Zhao Yuhui were released last night but this time with a new man in black-suit!" "Zhao Yuhui in the arms of another man!!" "The face of the man is hidden but looking at the posture, they could be predicted to be gazing deeply in each other's eyes!" "Has Zhao Yuhui finally immersed herself in the ocean of love?" Zhao Yuhui: "..." What ocean of love! Only if she wasn't held by her company to not respond personally. Not to miss the top comments- "I am no expert but why does the profile of this man looks similar to the profile of previous man?" "Now that you mentioned it, even I can find the similarities!" "His back profile is the only thing visible but dude...look at those broad-shoulders!" This time, in response a paragraph was released by her agency, "These photos are from the banquet she had attended couple of months back and the man in these photos...is just a bodyguard. He was only catching her when she slipped, ignore the angle at which photo is taken! This was clicked right after the accident so this man is the same security guard who was promoted to a status of bodyguard as a result of his excellence." Bodyguard? Qin Lixin stared at his friend with a stare as good as a piercing knife. "Qin Lixin, glad to know about your promotion!" *laugh* "You were the only one who ordered to protect your identity. This was the only thing I could do." The great friend in the question replied as he brought his hands up in surrender. "I asked you to stop all these baseless rumors with that girl not to change my profession each time!" Qin Lixin growled as he held his forehead. "What if it reached my mom?" "It won't, trust me." However... "Assistant Fang, get Qin Lixin here and also the girl." The Vice-President of Qin Industries ordered while throwing daggers at the photo lightening the phone screen. -*-*-*-* Instagram - bellzla.za Cover is not mine. All rights to Original Owner/Creator.
