Shadows of the White Moonlight

Synopsis of Shadows of the White Moonlight : In the dazzling city of Shanghai, where wealth and power collide, Lu Yan, the cold and aloof heir to the Lu Corporation, is forced into a contract marriage with Qin Lan, a woman from a modest background burdened by her family's financial struggles. For Lu Yan, the marriage is purely a business arrangement to secure his position as CEO, but for Qin Lan, it is a desperate act to save her ailing father. However, Qin Lan is walking into a marriage built on shadows. Lu Yan’s heart still belongs to his first love, Ji Yi, the glamorous and seemingly perfect woman who left him years ago to chase her own ambitions. To Lu Yan, no woman could ever replace Ji Yi—Qin Lan is merely a “substitute” bride to meet his family’s expectations. The emotional distance between them is palpable, with Lu Yan treating Qin Lan as nothing more than a tool for convenience. Yet as fate would have it, Ji Yi reappears in Lu Yan’s life, seeking to reclaim her place in his heart and his world. Her return stirs up old emotions in Lu Yan, throwing him into inner turmoil. Blinded by his lingering feelings for Ji Yi, Lu Yan continues to overlook the woman standing right beside him—Qin Lan, whose quiet resilience and unspoken love for him are beginning to grow stronger by the day. But Qin Lan isn’t a woman who easily succumbs to the pain of unrequited love. Determined to protect her dignity and keep her heart intact, she distances herself from Lu Yan, though her feelings for him grow deeper with each passing day. She knows she’s nothing but a substitute in his eyes, but she cannot stop her heart from yearning for him. As the story unfolds , readers are immersed in vivid and emotionally charged scenes that paint a picture of Shanghai’s elite society, filled with grand events, lavish business deals, and the tangled webs of love and betrayal. The novel explores Qin Lan’s quiet strength, as she navigates the coldness of her husband’s heart while slowly becoming indispensable to him in ways neither of them expected. When the truth about Ji Yi’s departure years ago comes to light—revealing her calculating motives and hidden betrayals—Lu Yan is faced with the painful realization that the perfect image of his "white moonlight" was nothing more than an illusion. It is only then that he begins to see Qin Lan for who she truly is: a woman of incredible strength, compassion, and quiet beauty who has stood by him without asking for anything in return. Torn between the shadow of his past and the warmth of his present, Lu Yan’s emotional journey is one of discovery, loss, and redemption. But will it be too late for him to win Qin Lan’s heart after treating her as a mere substitute for so long? As their marriage teeters on the edge of collapse, dramatic twists and heart-wrenching confrontations lead to a final, emotional showdown. In the end, it will take more than grand gestures to heal the wounds between them—Lu Yan must face his own insecurities, while Qin Lan must decide if she can trust her heart to a man who once made her feel invisible. Through elaborate flashbacks, richly detailed settings, and complex character development, Shadows of the White Moonlight tells the story of two people bound by a contract but separated by secrets, misunderstandings, and the ghost of first love. Will they find the courage to build a love that’s real, or will they be forever haunted by the shadows of the past? This novel will take readers on an emotional rollercoaster, packed with suspense, passion, betrayal, and, ultimately, a hard-earned love that transcends the shadows of “white moonlight.”

Married To My Sister's Husband

As rays of sun rested on Olivia’s face, she slowly opened her eyes revealing a pair of lovely hazel brown eyes.

It didn’t seem like a new day, more like a continuation of her 3months nightmare. She looked by bed locker to get her phone, it was already 7am and she wondered why she slept in. She turned to the other side of the bed to meet a surprising half naked, yet breath taking Markian still soundly asleep. He was a sight for sore eyes, as her eyes moved from his waist to his sexy abs, to his well-built chest and broad shoulders, up to his neck and then his handsome face. He looked peaceful and very innocent, the exact opposite of what he was when he is awake. She couldn’t take her eyes off him, and one would think that after 3months of being in the same house with this man she must have gotten use to his sexiness, but that was the exact opposite. He was lying close to her that she could feel his breath on her face and he was half naked, though she wasn’t complaining but that was not normal, neither was the splitting headache she was having since the moment she moved to get her phone. At this moment, the flashbacks came flooding in as she suddenly sat up from the bed, she gasped but immediately held her mouth with her hand. What happened last night, what did she do, and what exactly was she asking her sister’s husband to do to her?

The doomsday conspiracy

Robert Bellamy, an agent of the ONI receives a mission on behalf of NSA: to locate the witnesses of the crash of an experimental meteorological balloon in Switzerland, for which he is only given the date, the place where it happened, and the fact that the witnesses were passengers of a bus tour. He is given an unlimited budget but is told he must work strictly under cover. After he finds the first witness, he discovers that the meteorological balloon was actually an alien spaceship. He tracks the witnesses one by one and reports their names to NSA. Without his knowledge, the names of the witnesses are then communicated to the intelligence organizations of their respective countries, and each of them is assassinated shortly after. These actions are coordinated under the name "Operation Doomsday", under the leadership of a figure known only as Janus. Robert's personal history is shown through flashbacks: he rose in the military ranks under the mentorship of Admiral Ralph Whittaker, and during a combat flight in Vietnam his plane was taken down, with Whittaker son's dying in the crash and Robert being badly injured. Doctors declare that he has no chance of survival, but a nurse named Susan convinces them to operate on him and encourages him to keep his fighting spirit. He and Susan fall in love after his recovery and marry. Robert is then recruited to become a spy for ONI, but this job takes over his personal life until Susan divorces him and marries a business tycoon named Monte Banks, while Robert isolates himself and dedicates even more to his work. In a conversation with the last witness, he mentions to Robert an additional one, a woman whom he hadn't seen in the bus. When Robert tries to contact the other bus passengers to corroborate this information, he finds out that all of them are dead. He deduces that this is an international effort since they died in different countries, and he also concludes that the final step of the operation would be his own death to eliminate all knowledge about the alien ship. He then goes into hiding right as Janus sends an instruction to kill him. Robert goes for help to Li, one of his friends who lives in Paris. Li explains to him about Operation Doomsday, revealing that aliens have been in communication with the governments of Earth for a while, demanding a stop of industrial pollution to save the Earth's environment, before revealing that he is a member of the operation and shooting Robert. Robert wins the fight and kills him, but he is badly wounded and realizes that he will eventually be killed unless he negotiates. The mysterious last witness is revealed to be an alien that survived the crash of the spaceship and disguised herself as a woman. She contacts Robert through a piece of the spaceship that he got from one of the witnesses, and they arrange to meet back in Switzerland where the ship crashed. Robert also calls NSA and asks to meet Janus there. In the final confrontation, Janus is revealed to be Admiral Whittaker, Robert's mentor. He also confesses that he sabotaged Robert's marriage to keep him at ONI, and eventually decided to have him killed for not being committed enough to his job. Monte Banks is revealed to be part of the Doomsday conspiracy, as he owns many industries that would lose money if they weren't able to pollute. Both are abducted by the aliens, who task Robert with the mission of spreading environmental awareness on Earth.

Synopsis The Needle in this fiction embodies Martial Law. The skull mangled exemplifies the Filipino people specifically human rights victims from all persuasions – enforced Desaparecidos to combatants, students to academicians, civilians to soldiers, peasants to landlords, laymen to religious, ordinary taxpayers to oligarchs, voters to politicians, officials to professionals, – all victims of militarization offered as sacrificial lambs in the altar of Dictatorship. The crucifix and holy rosary, guns, and bullets symbolize the protagonists – heroes and villains - and the causes and institutions they represent. The red roses, a love affair that blooms and blossoms among the main characters. The timeline was September 21, 1972, covering fourteen long years of dictatorship when Martial Law was declared until February 24, 1986, during the restoration of democracy ushered in by People’s Power at Epifanio de Los Santos or EDSA. Post EDSA events from Fidel V. Ramos to Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III or PNoy to Duterte’s presidency and Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. are briefly treated in an Epilogue. The choice of fiction was deliberate because of its timelessness and very important lesson drawn from that historic event–the restoration of democracy no less by President Cory Aquino. Whether it succeeded or not thereafter doesn’t matter. Filipinos are that unpredictable. Their memory is way too short and the hardest to please. But what is important is we have thrown away the tyrant, award-winning Investigate Journalist Shiela Coronel emphasized restoring fourteen long-lost hostage democracy in 1986. Add to that is the consequent didactic message to all Filipinos especially the Post Martial Law babies: “Beware and never again Martial Law!” In format, the author uses four of Irving Wallace's criteria in writing fiction from his “The Writing of One Novel” with some innovation on grounding characters using flashbacks and other tools characterizing bestsellers like Dan Brown, Grisham highlighting the author’s premium on the relevance of the said historical event and its political ramifications surrounding the subject throughout the story. First, no loose ends in the plot. This one is a tough act to follow. The subplot should be tied together as much as possible to the end. Second, narrative excitement rings the bell for readers. Third, is the use of research to disabuse and mitigate elements of violence and sex. Treating this work as social commentary on different implacable social issues of the day was deliberately utilized by the writer given his Philosophy, Theology, and Sociology background. Note that pictorials used in the work unless indicated in the caption are meant to highlight the theme of each respective chapter. Lastly, the most unlikely ending squeezing creative juices of the imaginative mind. Breaking the rules of writing known to man is also a challenge here. Ergo, treating the subject as fiction against the social commentary backdrop to make the narrative captivating journey instead just plain Martial Law account which is surely dry and monotonous story. How these criteria are treated and addressed by the writer especially the first, third, and fourth is left to readers and critics. Copy editing of the first draft has been done by the author using Grammarly, relevant creative writing tips culled from the internet from the likes of Ernest Hemingway, Jeff Goins, Catherine Reid, Cynthia Jones-Shoeman, Joe Bunting of NaNoWriMo, Billy Wilder, and Pruelpo, an FB friend and OFW dabbling as free-lance writer and guru. The third is actual editing from Ricardo S. Maulion Jr., my son, doing the proofreading. I have yet to accept any copy editors to do the favor for me packaging this project into a cohesive whole work. Ricardo F. Maulion For book order: Email ad: ricardomauliond1205@gmail.com
