Burning A Maeve Kerrigan Crime

Zephany Draven is a shy, clumsy celebrity journalist who is constantly ridiculed for not getting the big scoops. She is soft-spoken and easily intimidated, so she looks weak. However, behind closed doors, she's Eclipse, an altogether tougher, loud-mouthed agent and quite ruthless and efficient. Kendrick Montclair is a gentle, positive artist who loves his family and remains optimistic despite his struggles. His gentle nature makes him easy to take advantage of. But secretly, he's Obscura, a cold, ruthless agent who is efficient and silent. Both work as partners in a secret organization that preserves hidden truths erased by governments, yet they remain completely unaware of each other's true identities. Their goal is to reach the highest level of clearance to access classified information. But just when they're on the verge of success, they fail. Then, a mysterious man appears with an offer—a contract marriage in exchange for the information they desperately seek. Trapped with no alternative, they sign the deal, having no idea that they just married their secret partner in crime. But neither expected what would happen next. ------------- Kendrick and Zephany sat by the glass wall, waiting for their food when a car suddenly crashed through. Kendrick pulled Zephany to safety just in time, but both got small cuts from the broken glass. "Are you okay?" they asked, checking each other. To their astonishment, the cuts healed before their eyes. Their minds raced. "Beside me, the only person I know who has that ability is." "No! She can't be that loud, short-tempered woman!" "No! He can't be that silent, obnoxious man!" "Did I marry my secret partner in crime?" They both shuddered at the thought.

In a world where everyone awakens a Trait to start their cultivation, Rhys's was considered a joke: he would never age. In a world that worships raw combat power, a Trait granting eternal youth was worthless. To his powerful family, Rhys was a talentless failure, a stain on their name. With disgust, they cast him out onto the streets, leaving him with nothing. Alone and powerless, Rhys's life was shattered when he was caught in the crossfire of a terrifying battle between two god-like cultivators.

Witch this, witch that. Rachel could only sigh heavily. People blamed her for every sin imaginable — and not without reason. Her criminal organization, the Black Guild, offered a whole collection of horrors... for the right price. Once, the god Yunis turned his back on her — so she did the same. That bastard did everything to make his once-devoted follower lose all faith in morality and goodness. Now, there was no light left in her cruel heart. "You're nothing but cattle to me... what's the point of your existence?" She tossed another lifeless, blood-drained body aside and wiped the blood from her plump lips. From now on, she'd simply kill, entertain herself, and live a villain's happy life — without guilt. Without regrets for the innocent. But fate has other plans — and brings her face to face with the man who once lost everything because of her reckless whim. And now, risen from the grave, his only thought is revenge: "I will kill her… no matter what. No — I will burn her to the ground".

“They say Danchi is a gift… But they never told me gifts come wrapped in pain.” My name is Renzo Krai. In this world, we don’t pray for power. We fear it. Because once your Danchi awakens, your life stops being your own. It feeds on you , your body, your mind, your soul. The more you use it, the faster it kills you. Unless you understand it. Unless you master it. But who the hell has time for mastery when the world wants you dead before you even begin? I watched my family burn because my father awakened a forbidden Danchi. They called him a monster… and made sure I lived long enough to be punished for it. They shattered the energy paths in my body ..., said I’d never awaken. They were wrong. Now there’s something inside me , twisted, dangerous, alive. My Danchi isn’t the strongest. It isn’t the flashiest. But it’s hungry. And it’s mine. The world calls me cursed. Maybe they’re right. But if I burn… I’ll make sure they burn with me.

In the ruthless underworld of Mumbai, where bloodlines rule and bullets speak louder than words, Arpan More was born not into life—but into power, violence, and shadows. Groomed to inherit his father’s criminal empire, he rules with silence, strikes with precision, and loves with caution—until a girl named Samruddhi Jadhav ignites the one war he never prepared for: the war within himself. Samruddhi, an idealistic journalist with a haunted past, is chasing a story that could burn the city down—starting with the More family. What begins as a mission to expose a crime lord becomes a dangerously intimate obsession with the very man she’s meant to destroy. But this isn’t a tale of love and roses—it's love drenched in gunpowder, betrayal, and buried secrets. As Arpan and Samruddhi fall deeper into each other, their pasts begin to bleed into their present. A hidden photograph, an unsolved murder, a voice from the dead—each chapter unearths a truth more brutal than the last. And when love is caught between legacy and justice, between revenge and redemption—every choice is a trigger, and every heartbeat might be the last. In a world where loyalty is currency and trust is fatal, **can love survive the war of kings and killers? Or will their story end like all others written in the underworld—**with blood on the walls and silence in their names?

Nin-Ran-Gi is a futuristic dystopian world ruled by a single nation under one authoritarian government, controlled entirely by powerful chaebols known as High Chaebols—corporate conglomerates that own everything from infrastructure to information. Society is plagued by rampant crime: narcotics, human trafficking, mass murder, kidnapping, and unspeakable atrocities. At the heart of the chaos are vicious outlaw factions and criminal syndicates known collectively as the Sinners—masterminds of terror and destruction. Their brutal massacres have pushed civilisation to the brink, turning once-safe cities into warzones. Though the Special Security Counter Bureau Force (SSCBF) was established to contain the threat, their efforts have fallen short. The streets remain perilous. Justice feels like a relic of the past. Amid the decay, a lone figure emerges: Agent-90—a notorious and deadly assassin, emotionless yet precise. Neither hero nor villain, he operates outside in shadows where the law doesn’t work properly, targeting the Sinners and outlaws who endanger the fragile balance of society. In a world that has lost its moral compass, Agent-90 may be its final reckoning.

In the depths of a primeval forest, where ancient trees twisted towards the sky like skeletal fingers, their gnarled branches tangled in a canopy of darkness. An impenetrable darkness, an unearthly silence reigned like a velvet cloak, gently suffocating all that breathed, trembled, or stirred within its grasp, like a psychopath predator.
