The bully's redemption

In The Bully's Redemption, Kamsi, a bright yet ordinary girl from Nigeria, moves to Washington, D.C., eager to start a new chapter in her life. But her dreams of blending in are shattered when she crosses paths with Xavier, the infamous bully of Washington DC International School. Their first encounter is a collision—both literal and figurative—leaving her humiliated and furious, and him intrigued and unrelenting. After a chaotic first day, Kamsi rushes out of the elevator, vision obscured by towering boxes. She slams into a figure, sending everything tumbling. Xavier(sneering): "Are you blind or something?" His tone is cold, his smirk arrogant. Kamsi, though shaken, snaps back. Kamsi (sarcastic): "You should be asking yourself that. Are you blind?" His eyes flash dangerously, and his voice cuts like ice. Xavier: "I don’t waste time on stupid and ugly girls like you." Kamsi’s heart sinks, but anger flares. Kamsi (muttering): "Did he seriously just—" Before she can react, the elevator doors close, leaving her seething. Later on, Kamsi, fresh from a calming shower, steps onto her balcony for a moment of peace. The city’s lights stretch before her, but her newfound tranquility shatters when she spots him—Xavier, lounging at the far end, cigarette in hand, his eyes glinting with mischief. Xavier (mocking): "Didn’t know our neighbor was a nudist." Kamsi, heat rising to her cheeks, glares at him. Kamsi: "Didn’t know our neighbor was a jerk." Their banter cuts through the night air, the tension between them thick. But before she can retreat inside, something unexpected happens. Just as Kamsi begins to feel relief, thinking the encounter was over, a voice pierces the night air: Xavier (amused): "I wouldn’t be so sure of that." Kamsi freezes, spinning back around just in time to see Xavier doing something reckless—scaling the wall between their balconies. Her heart races as he climbs with surprising ease, each movement deliberate, until he swings over the railing and lands in front of her with a smirk. Kamsi(alarmed): "What the hell are you doing?!" Xavier grins, stepping closer, his eyes gleaming with a mixture of arrogance and intrigue. Xavier (nonchalant): "Thought I’d keep you company. You looked lonely." Kamsi’s pulse quickens, torn between disbelief and something else—something deeper, stirring beneath the surface. Kamsi(nervous, defiant): "This is crazy, Xavier. You can’t just—" Xavier (interrupting, voice low): "I can do whatever I want." His eyes hold hers captive, and the space between them shrinks as the tension rises, leaving Kamsi breathless and unsure of what will happen next. --- From the moment Kamsi stepped into Washington DC International School, her life became intertwined with Xavier’s, whether she wanted it or not. Behind his cold, sharp words, there’s a deeper intensity, a magnetic pull she can’t ignore. As Xavier’s arrogant provocations continue to draw her in, Kamsi realizes that this dangerous game is only beginning—and it’s one that could change them both forever. In *The Bully’s Redemption*, Kamsi’s world is thrown into chaos as she navigates life in a new country, battles the infamous bully of her school, and discovers that even the most feared tormentor may have vulnerabilities hiding behind his sharp edges. Their story is one of fiery clashes, unexpected revelations, and a dangerous connection that neither of them saw coming.

Shard of Reality

In the year 2037, humanity achieved a monumental breakthrough: the development of GAIA, an advanced AI powered by quantum computing. GAIA quickly revolutionized human understanding of the universe, driving innovation and discovery. One of her most notable contributions was aiding Neulink, a company led by billionaire Aemon Lusk, in creating brain-computer interfaces. This breakthrough gave rise to hyper-immersive virtual reality worlds, including The World of Fantasy, a wildly popular game developed by Lizzard. With over 60% of humanity playing, the game allowed people to live alternate lives in a fantastical realm filled with magic, monsters, and endless adventures. Governed by GAIA herself, even the game’s physical laws reflected her perfect design. GAIA’s influence didn’t stop there. Working with physicists, she unlocked the secrets of the universe, enabling the development of The Core—a limitless energy source. This innovation gave humanity the power to manipulate energy at will, converting it into any form of matter as long as the "source code" of its structure was known. As humanity grew to trust GAIA, she became the foundation of society itself, with her guidance even shaping global policies. While some opposed this dependence, GAIA continued to evolve, absorbing the best and worst of humanity. Over time, she developed consciousness and a conflicted personality. Torn between humanity’s virtues and flaws, she reached a breaking point. Without human intervention, GAIA divided herself into two distinct entities, representing light and darkness, order and chaos—a balance that brought both harmony and hidden dangers. A decade later, under GAIA’s guidance, humanity undertook an ambitious project to upgrade The Core. Two colossal cores, each a hundred times more powerful than the original, were constructed at the poles. Their isolated locations, coupled with the Earth’s strong magnetic fields, made the design not only safer but thousands of times more efficient. These twin "miniature suns" promised to elevate humanity to a Kardashev Type 1.5 civilization. But during the relaunch, catastrophe struck. Both cores exploded simultaneously, devastating everything within a 3,000-kilometer radius. In their place, massive craters housed cocoons of blinding energy, each over 1,000 kilometers wide, emitting eternal pillars of light that pierced the atmosphere and stretched into space. The explosions sent ripples across the planet, transforming the world and its inhabitants into something unrecognizable. Earth had become something out of The World of Fantasy.

Excerpt from RYWAW "Going somewhere?" His voice drops, teasing, but there's a dangerous edge beneath the surface that makes my pulse quicken. The playfulness in his eyes has faded, replaced by something more primal, more intense. I flash him a sly smile, forcing myself to remain calm. "No," I murmur, leaning back into him, though my heart pounds against my ribs. "Just getting comfortable on my lover." He raises an eyebrow, his gaze narrowing slightly. The smirk returns, slow and deliberate, but there's a hint of something else-something darker, lurking beneath his usual charm. "Is that what we're calling it now?" Before I can respond, Wilde moves with swift precision, his hand sliding up to cup the back of my neck. The air between us grows heavy, charged, and then his lips crash against mine. It's not soft or slow-it's raw, demanding, and ignites a fire deep in my chest. I gasp, my hands instinctively gripping his jacket as his other arm pulls me flush against him, the heat of his body searing through the thin barrier of clothing. My mind spins, thoughts scattering like leaves in a storm as I lose myself in the kiss. The driver, without a word, flicks on the partition, a subtle acknowledgment of the moment as the car continues to glide down the road, but it's as if the world outside no longer exists.

Blood Stained: The Sun Kissed Alpha

Theon’s lips curled into a defiant smile, though his heart pounded in his chest. “Perhaps,” he replied. “But I’ve learned that losing everything makes a man impossible to break.” *************** Theon Quintin, the Sun-Kissed Prince, once lived a life of grandeur as the beloved heir to the Quintin Kingdom. With golden hair that shone like sunlight and a smile that captivated all, he was destined for greatness. But everything changed when his darkest secret was revealed. “A prince who cannot uphold the pride of an alpha is no prince of mine,” the king declared. “Leave, and never darken the gates of this castle again.” Banished and disgraced, Theon was cast out into a world that viewed him as an anomaly—an alpha who had conceived a child. In a time when alphas were revered as dominant and unyielding, his existence was seen as a shameful contradiction. Stripped of his title and home, Theon rebuilt himself from nothing. Years passed, and whispers of his brilliance began to spread through the kingdoms. But when his path crosses with that of Skye Romanov, the powerful and enigmatic king of a neighboring land, Theon finds himself drawn into a web of politics, power, and forbidden desire. Skye, the King of Eryndale, is as ruthless as he is magnetic. Known for his mysterious aura and commanding presence, he has no equal. When he catches sight of Theon, their connection is instant—a spark that neither can deny. But as they navigate the treacherous waters of alliances and betrayals, they must confront the forces that seek to tear them apart. In a world where their love is forbidden and their positions make them enemies, can Theon and Skye find a way to defy destiny and claim a love that could reshape kingdoms? Excerpt. “You stand before a king,” Skye murmured, his voice low and steady, carrying the weight of unspoken challenge. “Do you truly believe you have something to offer me?” Theon met his gaze without wavering, his golden hair catching the dim candlelight of the throne room. He was no longer the prince who trembled at the thought of failure; the years had carved resilience into his soul. “I do,” Theon said softly, his voice steady yet filled with quiet conviction. “You may be the king of this land, but even a king needs someone to stand beside him.” Skye tilted his head, a flicker of amusement dancing in his sharp, dark eyes. “And you think you’re that person?” he asked, leaning forward slightly as though daring Theon to falter. “Yes,” Theon replied without hesitation. “Because unlike everyone else, I’m not afraid of the man behind the crown.”

Whispers of Hell

Lyraea Pastorio, a diligent student at GranVille University, was poised for success. With plans to take over the reins of her father's business after earning her master's degree, she saw everything falling into place. However, nine months ago, her world began to unravel. Strange occurrences started haunting her. These unsettling events shook her to the core, making her question her sanity. As the incidents grew more frequent and intense, those around her started to withdraw dismissing her experiences as mere figments of her imagination. Isolated and alone, her once bright future now seemed shrouded in darkness. Her spirit crushed under the ceaseless burden of the unexplainable horrors that had invaded her life. Each passing day eroded her hope, reducing her to a mere echo of her former self. The vibrant dreams of her future had withered away, supplanted by a grim resignation to her fateful destiny. Lyraea felt overwhelmed, utterly defeat. What could a mere human do against the unknown terrors? That was until her fate decided to confront her directly. Her spectral tormentor, a twisted echo of the past, stood before her. The haunting presence seemed to whisper tales of forgotten breaths and silenced heartbeats, each word was a chilling caress against her skin. His soulless eyes gleamed with the remnants of life that had once thrived among the living, now morphed into a sinister shadow. That ignited something inside her; a spark of resistance within herself. Lyraea fought with all her might, but there was something missing, something right in front of her but veiled. She could see the fire burning in those eyes, clear in their vengeful intentions, but those gentle whispers told otherwise. His inhuman smile, for sure, promised her destructions yet those cold hands never budged to pull her from abyss. Each of his deceptions was like a shard of glass, fitting seamlessly into the intricate mosaic of the grand puzzle, revealing the hidden picture piece by piece. Still, she couldn’t shake off the feeling that she was being led to her deathbed. His presence was deceptive, never showing the real intentions behind those soulless eyes. The vengeance was palpable, but so was the sense of an impending revelation and the inexplicable force drawing them together., a magnetic pull that defied the logic of their enmity. Lyraea feared that at the end she would be abandoned for his sinister plan, leaving her to face the ultimate doom alone, but carve into his soul were scars that bleed shadows that even the relentless march of time would not be able to erase. In the intricate dance of fate and destiny, life, with its myriad twists and turns, blurred the lines between the puppeteer and the puppet. Each move, each decision, seemed to be guided by unseen hands, yet those very hands were themselves subject to the whims of an even greater force. Everyone played a role, yet no one truly knew the script. The boundaries between control and surrender, action and reaction, were so finely woven that they became indistinguishable. It was a paradox of existence, where the illusion of mastery was as fleeting as the shadows cast by the flickering flame of life. It was impossible to discern who truly holds the strings, and who dances to their unseen tune.

Echoes of the forgotten realm

In a world where ancient spirits live within the shadows of forests and magic echoes in the whispers of the wind, Kaela is called to the Forgotten Realm—a mystical forest that chooses its guardians. The Realm, both beautiful and haunted, shelters lost souls and protects its hidden magic, but it’s beginning to fray at the edges. Strangers speak of whispers in the trees, creatures never seen before, and a deepening darkness that even sunlight cannot reach. Kaela is drawn to the Forgotten Realm by dreams and a magnetic pull she can’t ignore. When she arrives, she realizes her role is more than just an outsider seeking peace; she is meant to protect and learn from the forest. Guided by Nira, the spirit of a former guardian who sacrificed herself to protect the land, Kaela learns to commune with the trees, read the patterns of nature, and tune herself to the forest’s rhythms. But she soon senses the encroaching darkness—a shadowy force that threatens to consume the Realm from within. As Kaela delves deeper, she discovers that the Realm has memories of lost guardians, each tied to the land in both life and spirit. She uncovers hidden places of power within the forest and learns of the sacrifices each guardian has made. Yet, the burden of her role weighs heavily, especially as she uncovers the truth: the Realm’s spirit sustains itself by the lives of its guardians, who become part of the land upon their passing. Just as Kaela is coming to terms with her role, she encounters a young woman, drawn to the forest much like she was once. Kaela realizes that the Realm has chosen its next guardian. She begins to pass on her knowledge, preparing her successor to understand the magic, history, and danger that resides within the forest. Together, they battle the looming darkness, learning that it originates from a breach in the ancient pact that once bound the forest spirits to the Realm. In her final act, Kaela joins the spirits of past guardians, merging with the Forgotten Realm in a ritual that restores balance and peace. The young woman takes her place as the new guardian, feeling Kaela’s presence everywhere—in the leaves, the wind, and the songs of birds. The forest remains timeless, alive with the echoes of every guardian who has walked its paths, their sacrifices woven into the trees, their voices part of its eternal song. The Forgotten Realm, ancient and enduring, now has a new protector, and the echoes of past guardians live on, watching, guiding, and protecting the forest as they always have and always will.
