Zara's eyes were glued to Xavier's bare chest, unable to look away. The sculpted muscles, the deep V-line, the way his sweatpants hung low on his hips—she couldn't help but be captivated. It was as if her brain had short-circuited, and all logic had left her. She moved a step closer, almost unconsciously, her hand lifting as if to touch his chest. Before her fingers could make contact, Xavier's quick reflexes caught her wrist. His grip was firm, but not harsh, and he raised an eyebrow, looking at her with an amused expression. "What do you think you're doing?" he asked, his voice low but laced with a hint of teasing. Zara, startled but determined not to show weakness, scratched the back of her head awkwardly, trying to save face. "What do you mean? Why are you walking around shirtless?" she countered, trying to shift the focus off herself. Xavier's smirk deepened, his dark eyes glinting with mischief. "I'm not the one sneaking around in other people's rooms, Zara. You're the one who barged in here." Zara blinked, her mind scrambling to find an excuse. "Oh, right," she muttered, still not sure how to explain her behavior. She gave him a sheepish grin, but her eyes darted back to his chest, trying to look casual. "I was just… looking for something," she said, her words trailing off as she tried to think of a better lie. Xavier didn't buy it for a second. Slowly, he took a step forward, closing the distance between them. Zara instinctively took a step back, but Xavier followed, not giving her any space to escape. Her heart raced as she backed up again, trying to keep some distance between them, but Xavier wasn't making it easy. "Trying to run away now?" Xavier teased, his voice laced with playful challenge. He moved another step forward, and Zara continued retreating, her back now against the wall. Her breath hitched as she realized she had nowhere else to go. "I wasn't trying to run away," Zara said quickly, her voice a little too high-pitched. "Just, you know, I… I don't want to intrude. I just—"  But Xavier wasn't interested in her stammering excuses. His gaze remained locked on her, and as he stepped closer, his hand that had caught her wrist slowly slid down to her fingers, brushing against her skin. The gentle touch sent an unexpected shiver down her spine. Zara's heart hammered in her chest, and she took another step back, this time bumping into the wall with a soft thud. She couldn't help but feel the heat building between them, the tension so thick it was almost palpable. Xavier, now mere inches from her, tilted his head, his lips curling into a playful grin. "I think you're lying," he murmured, his voice soft, but full of mischief. "You were trying to touch my chest, weren't you?" Zara's face flushed with heat, and she tried to push back against him, but it was like trying to move a mountain. She cleared her throat, trying to recover some of her composure. "Maybe I was," she admitted, her voice low. "But, um… so what? It's not like you're making it easy to ignore." Xavier's grin widened as he leaned even closer, his body just inches away from hers. The closeness was overwhelming, and Zara's mind started to spin. She could feel the heat radiating off his chest, and she had to fight the urge to reach up and touch it again. "Is that so?" Xavier whispered, his breath warm against her ear. He placed his hand on the wall beside her head, trapping her in place as he stared down at her with a wicked gleam in his eyes. "You sure about that?".

‘All it took was getting caught in breaking the rules.’ She was the delinquent student. He was the priest who owned a black cat, and theirs was a union forged from the embers of hell. —— When Ivie touched people, she could see excerpts from their past or their future, when Ivie touched Father Chibuike, she only saw darkness. Together they would fight the shadows of death that made the students of St. Stephen Immaculate college commit suicide. —— “Somebody is getting curious,” the first girl said. “It wouldn’t be the first time,” a man’s voice replied. “Shake the curiosity off her.” “Is it who I think it is?” An older woman questioned. The first girl nodded. “We’re not practically close, but it looks like she has a leverage.” “I told you all to be on the low,” a stern man’s voice interrupted. “We cannot stir things up now when there’s a recent death! Are you forgetting that there’s a new inclusion to the priests? Not one, not two, but three for goodness sake!” A hush fell amongst them, the man’s anger reverberating. “We’ve been on the low, I’m making sure of that,” the older woman said. “What leverage do you think she has?” The first man asked. The girl exhaled. “Didn’t say, but she kept asking questions.” “Do something about it,” the harsh man said, “or you know, it’s everyday students fall off the staircase, and it’s not hard to call it suicide.” —— Ivie could have escaped her twisted fate, but she agreed to hold the priest’s secret, and soon she told him hers!

Authors side note: I may not release a chapter daily, doesn't mean I dropped the book. Good books take time, not to tune my own horn but it's true. I'll release a minimum of 4 times a week cause life makes me busy. Also, 36k words before locked chapters, might seem early but that's what can I say. Thank you for understanding. #darkcomedy #psychological #strategy #zombies #survival there would be one more tag here but it would be a spoiler :)

--- **AFTER BOOK** *Karya Luciel Veronica* "Kata-kata adalah arwah, dan buku ini adalah pusara bagi yang tak bisa melarikan diri." Di balik jendela kaca yang retak, matahari senja terjerat debu, merayapi rak-rak buku yang berdiri seperti makam bisu. Perpustakaan itu, sunyi dan terlupakan, menyerupai rongga dada tua yang hanya berisi bisikan-bisikan waktu. Di lorong terkelamnya, tersembunyi sebuah buku—tak bernama, tak bernyawa, namun tetap berbisik. Alea tak pernah mencari buku itu. Ia bahkan tak seharusnya ada di sana—di tengah udara dingin yang menggigit kulit seperti gigi hantu, di bawah cahaya lampu yang berkedip seakan ketakutan. Tapi ketika tangannya menyentuh sampulnya yang dingin, seolah-olah buku itu bernafas di genggamannya, halaman-halamannya mulai bergerak. Namanya terukir di tinta hitam yang berdenyut seperti nadi: “Alea S., nafasnya berhenti di bawah cahaya yang pecah.” Teks itu menulis kematiannya—pelan, penuh kenikmatan, seolah mencari makan untuk kepuasan

We’ve all read love stories. Heck, we all wished we could live in a love story. These beautiful literatures of romance have always had a certain defined flow to them that we’ve become accustomed to, a flow that rattles the kaleidoscope of butterflies within our stomachs.. There is always a meeting, gentle and warm… the falling in love, fiery and exciting.. the falling out of love, sad and heart wrenching… and the happily ever after, beautiful and seemingly forever… Oh how we love the beautiful things romance stories being us; the first kiss, the first ‘I love you’ and not to mention, the ‘forever’… But what about the events that come after that? What about the post ‘happily ever after’ struggles that people in love face but never speak of? What about the loneliness, the doubt, the lies, the boredom… …the possibility of INFIDELITY…. This is an internal monologue of a story, narrated from the perspective of a man struggling with the challenges a failing marriage brings with it, and of course, also told from the perspective.. of HER.

Amara Rosendell, the last daughter of a once-proud noble family, is forced into a marriage with Kael Vyren, a knight of humble birth who has risen to prominence through sheer grit and ambition. For Amara, the union is a lifeline to salvage her family’s crumbling legacy; for Kael, it is a calculated step in his quiet quest for revenge against the aristocracy that once betrayed him. Thrust into a world of duty, intrigue, and simmering resentment, Amara and Kael struggle to find common ground. Their marriage begins as a cold arrangement, fraught with misunderstandings and the shadow of Kael’s hidden agenda. Yet, as they face treacherous political schemes, lurking enemies, and the secrets of their intertwined pasts, their tentative partnership begins to deepen into something neither of them expected. Amara, initially a pawn in her father’s schemes, must uncover her own strength and navigate the complexities of a world that seeks to strip her of agency. Kael, hardened by years of betrayal, finds his walls beginning to crumble as he is drawn to Amara’s quiet resilience. Together, they must confront their fears, betrayals, and the ghosts of their pasts, or risk losing not only their newfound love but also their lives. Set against a backdrop of court intrigue and societal upheaval, "Fate's Tangled Threads" is a sweeping tale of redemption, resilience, and the power of love to heal even the deepest wounds. When duty collides with desire, can two people from different worlds find a way to rewrite their fates? Or will the threads of the past bind them forever in a web of tragedy? --- This synopsis captures the central themes of romance, betrayal, and personal growth while highlighting the stakes and the evolving relationship between Amara and Kael.
