Sebastian Renwick

In the heart of 1920s New York, a city of glittering skyscrapers and smoky speakeasies, Sebastian Renwick stands out—not only for his strikingly handsome looks, with blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, but also for his sharp intellect and enigmatic presence. Sebastian, a brilliant strategist and master manipulator, has made it his mission to cleanse the city of its corrupt elite. To the public, he is a respected businessman and philanthropist, but beneath this facade lies a man driven by a relentless desire for justice. He uses his sharp intellect and cunning to orchestrate intricate schemes that expose the hidden sins of the powerful, leading to their downfall. Sebastian's sense of justice is complex and often ruthless. He believes in creating a world where the corrupt cannot hide behind their wealth and status, even if it means bending the law to achieve his goals. His methods are unconventional, his strategies perilous, but his results are undeniable. Enter Jonathan Holmes, a renowned private detective with unmatched observational skills and deductive reasoning. Jonathan, driven by his own sense of justice, becomes fascinated by the mysterious figures behind the city's recent upheavals. With a sharp mind and a charismatic demeanor, he begins to piece together the clues, leading him to the enigmatic Sebastian Renwick. As a series of high-profile murders rocks New York's elite, both Sebastian and Jonathan are drawn into a complex web of intrigue. The victims, all powerful figures with seemingly untarnished reputations, are found with a mysterious symbol carved into their skin—a symbol that points to a secret society operating within the shadows of the city's upper echelons. Sebastian and his loyal confidant, Margaret "Maggie" Caldwell, work tirelessly to expose the society's hidden machinations. Maggie, a brilliant librarian with a knack for historical research, provides essential support and insight. Together, they navigate the dangerous world of New York's elite, confronting threats and uncovering secrets. Jonathan Holmes, equipped with his keen intellect and resourcefulness, finds himself in a cat-and-mouse game with Sebastian. Their interactions are marked by tension and mutual respect, each recognizing the other's brilliance and dedication to justice. As the body count rises, the two men must navigate their own beliefs about morality and justice. In a thrilling climax, Sebastian and Jonathan confront the mastermind behind the murders—a cunning and ruthless adversary who has manipulated events from the shadows. The lines between friend and foe blur, and the true nature of justice is called into question. In the end, justice is served, but not without personal sacrifices. Sebastian's world is forever changed as he uncovers the truth about his family's past and the hidden forces that have shaped his destiny. "Sebastian Renwick" is a gripping tale of murder, mystery, and the relentless pursuit of justice, set against the backdrop of a city teeming with secrets.

Fallen General's Omega (BL)

I watch him, his green eyes brimming with concern as he gently massages my scarred leg. The sensation is both soothing and a stark reminder of my own inadequacy. The once-feared Crimson General, a symbol of power and invincibility, is now nothing but a frail shadow of his former self.

Then he arrived, a beacon of light in my endless night. His presence, his care—it’s more than I ever deserved. Yet, I find myself clinging to him with an intensity that borders on madness. I hate that I need him so desperately, that his every action and word have become my lifeline. It consumes me, a torment I can't escape. "You don't have to do this. Please, don’t do this. I’m nothing. You deserve better. Leave. Please," I beg, my voice trembling with raw anguish, the very words tearing me apart. He continues his work, seemingly unaffected by my pleas. "Why are you here? Look at me! I’m nothing." Desperation and anger swell within me, mixing into a maelstrom of anxiety. I can’t comprehend the emotions coursing through me. "You're my alpha, where else would I be?" he responds softly, his gaze unwavering, as if my pleas were mere background noise. My heart races, torn between overwhelming relief and paralyzing dread. In that moment, I realize the truth: you would have to tear him from my cold, lifeless arms. I’m never letting go. - General Thorne, betrayed and broken, finds new life and love with Omega Noelle, who nurses him back to health.

His Maddest Craving

She's afraid of the dark, he embodies it. Most say her dresses are too tight, her heels too tall. She laughs too loud, cries too much, and smokes like her life depends on it, and in some ways it does. Little do they know, it’s just a sparkly disguise, there to hide one panic attack at a time. "As long as they were looking at my body, they'd never see what was behind my eyes." No one can see through Aurelia Cabrera's facade—not until he comes along. Some know him as an emotionless player, his nature as cold as the heart of ice in his chest. He changed through his girlfriends like they were underwear. But that was only because all the ladies loved the way he played his guitar when he and his rock band, "Zeveira", would perform their electrifying songs on stage. With a tendency to pick order and class as his companion, Alexei "Alex" Morozova has never been tempted to veer off course. But perhaps one should never say never... One autumn night and their lives intertwine. She hates him—his arrogance and habit of never taking anything or anyone seriously—but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other’s looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him. Nowhere in Alexei’s plans had he ever prepared for Aurelia. She’s chaos embodied, not his type, but that can never stop his eyes from following her wherever she goes. All along, she doesn’t even know that she’s his frustration, his fascination - and he's been craving this amount of fun for his entire life. She's his maddest craving. PLEASE READ: Dear reader, I know you've been looking for a good novel recently. Well, you're in luck! Good for you! Fry me in a pot of boiling oil if you didn't enjoy this novel when you finish reading the entirety of it. It's extremely good but you may regret reading it. Why? Because it's also extremely sad. You might never recover from this story. So with that being said, if you cry a lot (when it comes to books and movies) and/or are depressed, I will advise you not to read this. I care about you :) And of course, viewer discretion STRONGLY, HIGHLY advised. Happy reading!! **One chapter every day before 20:00 (24-hour clock)**
