“And what is it about him that still makes you love him?” I asked, sensing I already knew the answer. “Oh, my dear, please try not to hold onto so much resentment for your father. He might—” “Mom!” I interrupted, my voice breaking as a sardonic laugh escaped me. “How can you still find a way to justify his actions? Even if you have some lingering feelings for him, shouldn’t they fade when you think about what he’s done to me? Am I really not as important as the man who has only brought you pain?” My emotions overwhelmed me, and I struggled to hold back my tearsThe silence enveloped us, and I could feel the weight of uncertainty in the air. I couldn't help but wonder what had clouded my mom's judgment, perhaps it was the influence of that man she called her husband. “Mom, I think it's time for you to choose a side,” I said, my voice trembling as I neared the end of my sentence, fully aware that I might never address him that way again. “You can’t keep pretending this is going to work. It’s either me or…him.” “Serena, please, you can't win against your dad. I really think you should drop any thoughts of going against him. He’s not as bad as you believe, dear. Remember, he’s the one who pays for this house and your college tuition. Your clothes and food—all of that is still his responsibility, and he’s meeting those obligations. All I ask is that you finish college, find a job, or better yet, settle down with a good man,” my mom urged, her voice tinged with an earnest desperation as if she were trying to convince not just me but herself. I listened, trying to remain calm, a bittersweet smile crossing my lips as I realized I couldn't back down from my convictions. “Alright, Mom, if you’ve chosen Mr. Andre, that’s your decision. But I won’t be swayed—I’m going to forge my own path, and I hope you’ll understand that when the time comes.” With that, a sense of resolve washed over me, and I braced myself for the future ahead, knowing it would be filled with both challenges and possibilities.

D.R.E.A.D by Umar

In a world where the line between reality and nightmare blurs, Reiyan Arasaka is a boy haunted by shadows. The city he calls home pulses with neon lights and ceaseless noise, but beneath its glittering surface lies a hidden world of demons, ancient legacies, and forgotten gods. Reiyan’s life is upended when he returns home one night to find his family’s estate engulfed in flames and his parents brutally murdered by a monstrous creature from the abyss. As Reiyan grapples with his grief and the horrifying realization that demons are real, he is saved by a mysterious silver-haired man who wields powers beyond human comprehension. This enigmatic figure, known only as Kael, reveals that Reiyan is the last heir of the Aetheris bloodline, a family bound to an ancient pact with the supernatural. The demons that destroyed his home are not random—they are hunting him, drawn by the dormant power within his blood. Thrust into a world of darkness and danger, Reiyan must learn to harness his newfound abilities to survive. Guided by Kael, he discovers that the Aetheris legacy is both a blessing and a curse: it grants him the power to fight back against the demons, but it also marks him as a target for forces far more sinister. As Reiyan delves deeper into the mysteries of his lineage, he uncovers a centuries-old war between humanity and the abyss—a war that threatens to consume the world. But the demons are not his only enemies. Within the shadows lurk rival factions, each with their own agendas, and Reiyan must navigate a treacherous web of alliances and betrayals. As he struggles to control the volatile power within him, he begins to question whether he is destined to save humanity—or destroy it. Dread is a gripping tale of loss, resilience, and the fight for survival in a world where the line between hero and monster is razor-thin. With its blend of heart-pounding action, supernatural intrigue, and emotional depth, this novel will keep readers on the edge of their seats from the first page to the last.
