Nevil Shute

Talent vs. Hard Work: Which Is Better? Both talent and hard work require time, but the difference lies in how much time they take. Talent often necessitates opportunities and maybe proper guidance, but it comes with high expectations that can be overwhelming. On the other hand, hard work is about dedication and investing a lot of time, usually with fewer expectations attached. Neville was expected to be talented because of his lineage. However, when he didn't meet those expectations, he was labeled a failure. He chose to rely on hard work but, unfortunately, didn't have enough time to develop before he met an accident. When he came to he got the opportunity only for it to be threatened again... He only dreams of success, which according to him is living comfortably through any and all situations. Yet, his path to this dream is anything but smooth. Beset by dangers and enemies who seek to thwart him!

Death. A concept that was fraught with controversy. Many people through the years had theorized about what happened after death. Of course, nobody really knew because the only people who would be in position to answers were, well, dead. All they had were guessworks. Of those, the most popular one was reincarnation because of course, the concept of a new life after death appealed to the common man even if at the end of the day everyone brushed it all as fantasy. However, Grayson would soon realize just how true that “fantasy “ was. ********************** Author note : _ firstly I’d like to warn you’ll that English is not my first language so i apologize in advance in case there are errors . _ secondly, I’m writing this thing because I’m bored so don’t except anything too serious.

Destiny, that enigmatic force, dances with caprice and mystery, weaving a tapestry of events guided by an unseen hand. In its grand design, every action, every moment, is a thread intricately linked to a greater purpose. Even the mightiest of gods are not exempt from its sway; they ascend from mortal realms to legendary heights, yet some linger, resisting the call. These renegade deities, tethered to the earthly plane, become catalysts of chaos, defying the natural order in their quest for power. Some garner devout followings, while others resort to darker pacts. With their interventions, they disrupt the very fabric of existence, sowing discord and upheaval. When a deity descends, the world holds its breath, for with their arrival comes unpredictable change. Mortals are thrust into the tumult of extraordinary events, as the laws of nature buckle under divine influence. Thus, the need arises for an ancient order, a gathering of sages and custodians, charged with the solemn duty of safeguarding reality. These venerable guardians, steeped in millennia of lore, stand as bulwarks against the tide of chaos. Armed with ancient wisdom and mystical prowess, they navigate the delicate balance between mortal and divine. Their tireless vigilance ensures that the world remains shielded from the encroaching shadows. Silent yet steadfast, they labor in obscurity, ever ready to confront the looming threats to cosmic harmony. Theirs is a sacred duty, a silent oath to preserve the delicate equilibrium of existence itself.

She finds out he was plotting to kill her too, and tries to escape but is caught by her furious ex-husband who promised to make her beg for her death. She is imprisoned and sentenced to death for treason. On her execution, after all the tortures she was subjected to, her fated mate finds her after a long search and he turns out to be the Alpha king who was obsessed with her and wanted revenge for every hurt she had been subjected to. . # Except 1 "Proceed." This was finally it. My death. I felt all the air squeeze out of my lungs until I heard it - the deep, hoarse voice that sent chills down my spine. "Stop the execution," the king said with a warning edge that even a fool couldn't miss. Damian's face twisted with surprise that barely concealed his fury at the King's words. "Your Highness," he repeated, masking his irritation with a shallow bow, "This is the execution we spoke about a while ago that involved the treason." From his facial expression, I could tell he felt the need to state that. The king's gaze turned steely, cutting through Damian's attempt at justification. "Why aren't your guards backing down?" he asked, his voice dripping with authority that left murmurs in the crowd. "Or have you forgotten who commands this realm, Alpha Damian?" "Penelope Neville will be taken into my custody..." He declared. "Any attempt to go against my order or interfere will be met with swift and severe punishment worse than death."

[MATURE CONTENT] Updates on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. ||| Her eyes paused on my son and they widened as she pieced it together. "Shit, is he," "Careful, Leah," I stopped her. "If you want to talk about the past, do it when my son is not around." She covered her mouth with her hand, "Shit." "Were you... friends?" Rhett asked carefully. "No. I had no friends in school," I told him. "We were classmates." "I was friends with your uncle," she told him. "My what?" My son frowned. I glared at her and she gasped, "He don't know... Cole?" "Was he part of the family that cut ties with you, mum?" "Yes," I said shortly. "Mind your words Leah, Rhett has no connections with the family I had in Massachusetts, only with my English family. So, before your run your mouth, think first." "Was he your brother, mum?" Rhett asked. "Yes," I clenched my jaw. "He was. Our life choices made so he ain't no brother of mine now. He isn't worthy of your recognition either." My son caressed my back, noticing my anxiety, "It's okay, aunt Leah, I don't want to know anything about them. My whole life I only had mum and grandma, and that's enough for me." "Does he know?" She asked me. "It doesn't concerns him," I snapped. "Ruby, it clearly does," she looked at my son from head to toe. "No, it does not," I hissed. "Will you stay like this forever then?" What the hell is her deal? "When he's of age, he can choose to know more about the rest of his bloodline, but until then, it's up to me to make choices that will keep him safe. Away from the danger that lies in there. So, yes, until he turns 18, or until he graduates, things will remain like this, as they should." "Which one is it?" She asked. "1 or 2?" I gasped, "Excuse me? I wasn't a whore, Leah." "Well, you could have done it without knowing. Many did." My jaw dropped, "I know who it was." "1 or 2, then?" This bitch. "2," I hissed. "I was never close to 1." "Well, 1 was certainly close to you." I frowned, "What? What are you talking about?" "You don't know?" She arched her brows. "Know what?" My frown deepened. "Oh, man, you never talked to any of them after you moved to Oxford in early July, did you?" I swallowed, anxiety rising up, "No, why?" "Oh," she blinked, "shit. You don't know." "Know what, Leah?" I asked exasperated. "Are you... sure it was 2?" I clenched my jaw, "Yes." "100%?" "I know who my son's father is, damn it!" I yelled, frustrated, but as soon as it was out, I cursed myself, mentally regretting saying that out loud. "Was... my dad a twin?" Rhett asked, too damn smart for his own good. Closing my eyes, I cursed under my breath, "Yes." "He didn't know that?" Leah gasped. "An identical twin?" My son gasped. Sigh, "Yes." "You've... been with both?" Neville butt in. "No!" I gasped horrified. "Jesus, no." "Was 2... the youngest twin?" Rhett asked. I growled, "Yes. Yes, he was, alright? He was falling behind his grades, I was assigned to be his private teacher, because I was the top 1 in class, and he wasn't so intelligent. The headmaster said that if I helped that idiot, I would get my recommendation letter to Oxford, so, I did it, even though I didn't want to. He was a pain in the arse most of the time, but sometimes... sometimes he was the best guy I had ever met. I fell for him by May, but he didn't fall for me. After he rejected me, we got together one last time in June, that was when you came into the picture. I only learned about you in August." "You were... already in Oxford," Leah realized. I swallowed, "Yes. I was already in Oxford, I had already severed contact with the Sinnott and taken up mum's last name instead, Vaughan. Then my mum told me the truth about what Rhett's paternal family actually was about, the danger they actually represented, and I realized how stupid I had been, and how much danger I had put my son and myself in, by having a son with a guy from that family," I side eyed Rhett, "I don't regret you at all."
