Mother Celeste: Written By Darius Clayton In a world where fame is a double-edged sword, Celeste becomes a global phenomenon after her meteoric rise in the music industry. At just 24 years old, she is pulled into The Circle, an elite and secretive cult with sinister ties to the entertainment industry. Her fame soars, but at a steep price—her freedom, her body, and the sacrifices of the life she once envisioned for herself. Over the years, Celeste battles the trappings of power and control, forging fragile connections with those around her. Her younger sister, Rollie, becomes a rising star in her own right, but at the cost of her own dreams of family. Her estranged husband, Liam, fights to love her despite the insurmountable wall of secrets dividing them. And Eleanor Vaughn, a mysterious woman with complete control over Celeste’s career, proves to be both her benefactor and greatest tormentor. Through devastating betrayals, hidden pregnancies, and the unbearable weight of her decisions, Celeste learns the painful truth: she will always be bound to the life she created, one of sacrifices and shadows. When Marcus and Julian, figures from her past, return to reveal shocking secrets, Celeste’s tenuous grasp on her world begins to unravel. As she pens her Pop Rock masterpiece, In Circles, Celeste attempts to reclaim her voice and identity, even as The Circle tightens its grip. Her fame reaches unprecedented heights, rivaling the likes of Michael Jackson, but it comes with the crushing realization that she is both a legend and a prisoner of her own creation. Spanning a decade, Mother Celeste explores themes of power, love, sacrifice, and self-acceptance. In the end, Celeste is left standing as a symbol of resilience and survival in the face of impossible choices. Her life, riddled with tragedy and triumph, is both an inspiration and a cautionary tale. Her journey is one of strength and sorrow, proving that even in the darkest corners of fame, there is a light to be found in embracing one’s true self.

Lexi sat on the floor, tears streaming down her face. Noah quietly entered the room and walked over to her. Without a word, he pulled her into a gentle hug. "Don’t cry anymore, Lexi," he whispered softly. "It’s not your fault that one of the twins is missing. We’ll find her, I promise. One day, we will." But Lexi’s pain erupted. She snapped angrily, pushing him away. "You always say that! But I can’t keep going on like this. It hurts so much! I’m a mother now, Noah, and it tears me apart not knowing where my other twin is. Is she okay? Is she happy? Has she eaten? I don't know anything, and it’s killing me." Noah stood up and moved to stand beside her. She was staring out the window, lost in her sorrow. "I'm a dad too, Lexi," he said quietly, his voice thick with emotion. Lexi turned to face him, regret in her eyes. "I’m sorry for pushing you. I’m just so sad. I didn’t get to see her. I didn’t get the chance to hold her, to say goodbye... It hurts more than I can bear." Noah reached out, taking her hands in his. "I’m here now, Lexi. Don’t cry anymore.

Life can never be simple. When a boy starts a supposedly "new" life at a secondary school, he hopes to forget the past and becomes anew. All he ever wanted was a peaceful high-school life. But life finds its way to completely flip his world upside down. Now he has to deal with crazy situations, ranging from embarrassing himself in front of hundreds of people to falling in love in the most random moments like every romance story out there. Life for this boy really turned anew. **This "novel" is a combination of the authors experience throughout high-school and his delusions he always had in his mind in which he wants to pour it out in this story** DISCLAIMER (and authors note) This is my first time ever writing something big and ambitious. Just writing to get a hobby or something. AND IT WILL SUCK. MY WRITING IS ABSOLUTE TRASH. I HAVE NO UPLOAD SCHEDULE SO CHAPTERS WILL BE PUBLISHED RANDOMLY Honestly I just wanted to put all my wishes and delusions of what I wanted highschool to be like for me. And I thought that I might as well share some of the experience I had in my actual highschool life so I can have a mix of reality and imagination in this story. Guess we'll see how that'll work out and also see how far this story will go. I hope I can at least finish it. I don't expect anyone to read it. After all, I can say that this is like my diary and memory book for me to read back and smile at the experience I went through during highschool. Making it public in case anybody wants something to relate to I guess :P

Salvation. Sanctuary. A safe place. Somewhere he can be safe and free. Somewhere away from abuse, from his bullies, from harassment, from false judgements... from ropes... and whips... somewhere away from pain. Somewhere they will never reach him. That is what Aqueo Harp had always been wishing for. So when he finds himself dying and waking up in a world of magic, a world completely different from the one he had, he views it as a blessing in disguise. It was the thing he had been asking for—to escape from the cruel fate of an orphan like him in his previous world—a life under the mercy of a human trafficking organization that plunged him in a cycle of recurrent depression, back-and-forth at the local detention center, and other stuff that are known to be interrelated with juvenile delinquency. With that in mind, Aqueo swears to never go back to his miserable old life and live an opposite life in the new world, one that is devoid of any trouble he had in the past. But not even a full day has passed when he finds out that his fate in this new world might end up the same as his previous one. This place is also brimming with slavery and other abuse, just as dangerous as his previous world—or even worse. But there is hope, Aqueo Harp meets a water spirit and finds new friends, something he never had for a long time. With their help, Aqueo doesn't feel as hopeless anymore.

[Mature Content] "Is he playing with me—hiding his feelings and making me seek him?" Ashan, a Chinese-American, sometimes cold and mean to others but inside a shy boy who masks his anxiety, true emotions, and insecurities with a rough-tough deadpan face, makes the biggest mistake of ignoring the flaring gaze and the longing eyes of the most popular girl in his new school.

Gradually, he discovers many unspoken histories about the girl he once despised but has now fallen for.

Their love blooms like a colorless flower with fragrance in secret, in the darkness…. Two seventeens in their golden adolescence thrive further, overcome their matter, learn about each other, and know themselves better in their journey together.

Pitch-black hair, monolid eyes with dark brown iris, milk-white skin, and a lithe body groom him as a complete Asian, hiding his American nationality. Her adoring gaze reminds him of how handsome he is, which he regards as an annoyance as his beauty attracts unease attention.
