Sao Alice

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book!

Alice told herself not to think about the word "hate" which her sister had used on her ,people said things they didn't mean when they were angry she consoled herself.

"Auf das Bett." Mein neuer Herr, der Alpha von Drogomor, befahl. Ich ging auf das Bett zu, nackt, beschämt und voller Tränen. Ich war dabei, meine Jungfräulichkeit zu verlieren, aber das bedeutete nichts für den Mann, der sie mir nehmen würde. *** Ich bin Rosalie, 20 Jahre alt und wurde von meinem eigenen Vater an den schrecklichsten Alpha verkauft. "Du bist für mich nichts weiter als ein Zuchttier", sagte er grausam zu mir. Ich hatte schon lange gewusst, dass meine Liebe zu ihm hoffnungslos und töricht war. Aber ich war naiv zu glauben, dass dies das Ende der Geschichte war. Sobald das Baby auf der Welt ist, werde ich hingerichtet. *** Die Leute dachten, ich sei tot, aber ich habe überlebt. "Du bist es!" Er ergriff meine Hand, und seine Augen waren voller Gefühle, die ich nicht verstehen konnte. "Komm zurück zu mir, Rosalie." "Tut mir leid." Ich sah ihn ruhig an, "aber ich glaube, du hast die falsche Person erwischt."

"Na cama." Meu novo mestre, o Alfa de Drogomor, ordenou. Eu caminhei em direção à cama, nua, envergonhada e cheia de lágrimas. Eu estava prestes a perder minha virgindade, mas isso não significava nada para o homem que iria tomá-la. *** Eu sou Rosalie, 20 anos, vendida ao alfa mais aterrorizante pelo meu próprio pai. "Você não é nada para mim além de uma reprodutora." ele me disse cruelmente. Eu já sabia há muito tempo que meu amor por ele era sem esperança e tolo. Contudo, eu era ingênua ao pensar que essa era o fim da história. Uma vez que o bebê nascesse, eu seria executada. *** Pessoas pensavam que eu estava morta, mas eu sobrevivi. "É você!" Ele segurou minha mão, e seus olhos estavam cheios de emoções que eu não conseguia entender. "Volte para mim, Rosalie." "Desculpe." Olhei calmamente para ele, "mas acho que você se enganou de pessoa."

"Sur le lit." Mon nouveau maître, l'Alpha de Drogomor, ordonna. Je marchais vers le lit, nue, honteuse et remplie de larmes. J'étais sur le point de perdre ma virginité, mais cela ne signifiait rien pour l'homme qui allait me la prendre. *** Je suis Rosalie, 20 ans, vendue au plus terrifiant des alphas par mon propre père. "Tu n'es rien pour moi, juste une reproductrice." dit-il cruellement. J'avais depuis longtemps compris que mon amour pour lui était désespéré et idiot. Cependant, j'étais naïve de penser que c'était la fin de l'histoire. Une fois le bébé né, je serai mise à mort. *** Les gens pensaient que j'étais morte, mais j'ai survécu. "C'est toi !" Il saisit ma main, et ses yeux étaient remplis d'émotions que je ne pouvais comprendre. "Reviens à moi, Rosalie." "Désolée." Je le regardai calmement, "mais je pense que vous vous êtes trompé de personne."

The moonlight filtered through the large windows of Li Qiang's penthouse, casting a silvery glow over the room. The city lights twinkled in the distance, a stark contrast to the dark world they both inhabited. Xin Yi stood by the window, her silhouette framed by the night sky, lost in thought. Li Qiang entered the room quietly, his presence commanding yet gentle. He approached her, his footsteps barely making a sound on the plush carpet. "Xin Yi," he called softly, his voice a deep, soothing rumble. She turned to face him, her eyes reflecting a mix of determination and vulnerability. "Yes, Mr. Gou?" she replied, her voice steady despite the turmoil inside her. He stepped closer, his gaze intense and unwavering. "You don't have to call me that when we're alone," he said, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "Call me Li Qiang." Xin Yi's heart skipped a beat. She had seen him in his most ruthless moments, but this side of him was different—softer, almost tender. "Li Qiang," she repeated, the name feeling foreign yet familiar on her tongue. He reached out, gently brushing a strand of hair from her face. His touch was surprisingly gentle, sending a shiver down her spine. "You've been through so much," he murmured, his eyes searching hers. "I see the strength in you, but I also see the pain." Tears welled up in her eyes, but she blinked them away, refusing to let them fall. "I have a mission," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I can't afford to be weak." Li Qiang cupped her face in his hands, his thumbs brushing away the tears that escaped. "Strength isn't about never breaking," he said softly. "It's about finding the courage to keep going, even when you're broken." For a moment, the world outside ceased to exist. It was just the two of them, standing on the precipice of something neither could fully understand. Xin Yi felt a warmth spread through her, a feeling she hadn't allowed herself to experience in a long time. Li Qiang leaned in, his breath warm against her skin. "Let me be your strength," he whispered, his lips inches from hers. "Let me help you carry the weight." Xin Yi closed her eyes, her resolve wavering. She had come here for revenge, but in this moment, all she wanted was to lose herself in his embrace. She felt his lips brush against hers, a tentative, gentle kiss that spoke of promises and unspoken desires. She kissed him back, her hands finding their way to his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart. It was a kiss filled with longing and desperation, a silent plea for solace in a world filled with chaos. When they finally pulled apart, both were breathless, their foreheads resting against each other. "This changes nothing," Xin Yi said, her voice trembling. "I still have a mission." Li Qiang nodded, his eyes filled with understanding. "I know," he replied. "But maybe, just maybe, we can find a way to navigate this together." As they stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, the lines between love and duty blurred, leaving them both wondering what the future held. Jang Xin Yi's world shattered the night her parents were brutally murdered. Consumed by vengeance, she infiltrates a ruthless mafia organization, posing as a bodyguard. Her mission: gather evidence and dismantle the syndicate from within. But her resolve wavers when she meets Li Qiang, the enigmatic and feared underboss. As she navigates this perilous world, Xin Yi is confronted with horrors that test her every step—the nauseating stench of death, gruesome torture chambers, and the brutal reality of Li Qiang’s actions. Despite the terror, Xin Yi remains determined to see her mission through. Will her thirst for revenge triumph, or will love and danger alter her path forever? Li Qiang commands respect through sheer terror. But when he hires a fearless martial artist who speaks her mind, his curiosity is piqued. Soon, he discovers the truth—his new bodyguard is a woman in disguise.

I was faced with a heartbreaking loss that would put my resilience to the test in the rapidly changing world of cryptocurrencies, where fortunes can be earned and destroyed in an instant. It all started with a straightforward error, a brief breakdown in judgment that would eventually send me down a path of hopelessness and doubt. For years, I had been a fervent cryptocurrency enthusiast, building a sizeable portfolio while cautiously navigating the erratic market. My investments had been increasing consistently, and I had faith in my capacity to handle the challenges presented by this digital environment. That assurance was dashed, though, as I lost an incredible 54,000 in a matter of seconds. The details of how it happened are still a blur, but the impact was immediate and overwhelming. I found myself spiraling into a state of panic and despair, unsure of where to turn or how to recover from such a devastating blow. The loss of a lifetime's worth of savings was a crushing blow, and I felt utterly powerless in the face of it. As I grappled with the emotional and financial turmoil, I knew that I couldn't simply give up. I had to find a way to regain control of the situation and reclaim what was rightfully mine. That's when I stumbled upon FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY, a team of cryptocurrency recovery experts who promised to help me navigate the treacherous waters of the digital asset world. I reached out to them despite my initial doubts, trying to find some help. I was surprised to find that they paid close attention to my narrative and could relate to the anguish and annoyance I was feeling. They presented a thorough plan of action and gave me their word that they have the skills and knowledge to assist me in getting my money back. I collaborated closely with the FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY team over the course of the following few weeks, giving them all the data and documentation they need. To find the trail of my missing assets, they painstakingly examined the transaction history, followed the money's path, and used cutting-edge methods. It was a painstaking process, filled with setbacks and moments of doubt, but the FUNDS RECLAIMER COMPANY team never wavered in their commitment to my case. They kept me informed every step of the way, explaining the complexities of the cryptocurrency ecosystem and the strategies they were employing to recover my funds. The team's persistence and expertise were paying off, and they were making steady progress in tracking down the missing assets. I held my breath, praying that their efforts would bear fruit. My cautionary tale is a testament to the importance of being proactive, seeking professional help when needed, and never giving up in the face of adversity. The journey may have been arduous, but the lessons I've learned and the resilience I've developed have made me a wiser and more resilient investor, better equipped to navigate the unpredictable world of cryptocurrency.

*Knock* "Come in" Alice heard Xander say before she walked into the bedroom. She found him sitting on the couch wearing a simple t-shirt and a pair of black jeans. When he rose his head to see who it was, she saw how red his eyes were, like a blood moon and his face still showed no emotions. " What is it" he asked calmly. " I-i just wanted to th- thank you for saving me yesterday" she said feeling intimidated by his facial expression. "It's fine" he said placing his palms on his face looking quiet restless which made her think that he was just tired so she decided to leave him alone to rest. She opened the door and was about stepping out but the doors suddenly closed shut and Xander's arms were found placed on the door, but before she could say anything, he picked her up and tossed her on his bed. An hour later, Alice was found laying on the floor, her clothes had been ripped to shreds and the bed covers were covered with blood. She just lay there crying non stop before finally getting up, wrapping a towel around herself, and limped out of the room. Getting to her room, she sat on the floor and cried herself to sleep.
