Edgar Wallace

L'Héritière contre-attaque

Sharon était une personne ordinaire, alors que son mari, Wallace Harris, était un homme prometteur et séduisant. Sa famille était l'une des familles les plus prestigieuses et les plus riches de New York. Épouser Wallace était un accident. Pendant leurs trois années de mariage, Wallace n'avait jamais couché avec Sharon. Sa famille l'avait également constamment persuadé de divorcer de Sharon. C'était la fête d'anniversaire de la vieille matriarche de la famille Harris, et tous les jeunes de la famille Harris avaient offert les cadeaux les plus chers possibles pour rendre la vieille dame heureuse—tous sauf Sharon. Elle avait demandé à emprunter de l'argent à Madame Harris pour l'ancien majordome, Oncle Smith, car il n'avait pas d'argent pour payer son traitement médical. Mais comme prévu, la famille Harris l'humilia lorsqu'elle fit sa demande. "La famille Harris n'a jamais eu de parent pauvre comme toi. Ne te présente plus jamais devant moi ! Wallace aurait dû épouser Crystal. C'est certainement une jeune femme qui est digne de se marier dans notre famille !" dit Madame Harris. "Connais ta place et sors d'ici. Ne reste plus dans notre maison. Comment le grand-père de Wallace a-t-il pu être si idiot pour marier une femme pauvre et inutile comme toi à mon fils ?!" dit June, la mère de Wallace. "Ce n'est que quelques millions de dollars, et pourtant tu es si pauvre que tu dois emprunter à notre famille. Comment une femme comme toi mérite-t-elle d'être avec Wallace ? Si c'était Crystal, elle ne nous aurait certainement pas autant embarrassés !" Cette nuit-là, Wallace tendit à Sharon une carte bancaire, qui contenait des millions de dollars. "L'entreprise se développe, donc je n'ai pas beaucoup de liquide. Tu peux utiliser ceci pour aider Oncle Smith." Face à l'hostilité de la famille Harris, Wallace déclara, "Puisque je l'ai épousée, elle est ma responsabilité. Qu'elle soit riche ou pauvre, Sharon est ma femme." Ce n'est que lorsqu'un étranger s'est approché de Sharon un jour que celle-ci apprit qu'elle était la fille d'une famille très prestigieuse, éligible pour recevoir des biens d'une valeur d'au moins dix milliards. Elle possédait soudainement la plus grande entreprise de New York et une carte bancaire contenant des centaines de millions de 'monnaie de poche'. En un clin d'œil, son identité avait changé. Elle n'était plus la belle-fille pauvre que la famille Harris n'appréciait pas. Au contraire, elle était devenue la personne la plus prestigieuse de New York !

THE AFTERLIFE PARADOX

What happens after death? It's a mystery no one can say. Before being betrayed, he had always held on to the belief that there are two realms to go to after death: Heaven and Hell. However, after being betrayed, he found out that it's not like that. Almost everything he learned about was a fallacy. The universe was not created but naturally formed. Arishem, the ultimate ruler of Heaven, was once a human who found the Celestial Ruler and created Heaven. Lucifer was under him, using the Karot to direct souls from the universe to empower Lucifer by turning them into soul drops. Lucifer betrayed Arishem and ran away with the Karot. He created Hell using the treasure and started monopolizing all the souls from Earth. Souls had no way to enter Heaven again, thereby preventing Arishem from getting stronger through absorbing souls, so he had to use another way detrimental to the universe. Which way is it? Wallace was betrayed by his family and died; his soul went to Hell, where he learned that he would have to undergo extermination and become nourishment for Lucifer. He learned that stories about benevolent Heaven were not real, as they wanted; they were all looking for ways to monopolize souls and exterminate them to make themselves stronger. He did not accept his fate; he had to go through three different trials so that his will could be erased, and he would surrender. Nine deaths, Cerberus' wrath, and the Soul Rending Whip were enough to break the will of any soul and damage them. Not willing to surrender, he had to go through the three trials, going through unimaginable torture and pain. In the third trial, there was the emergence of another treasure, the Karum, on his dead body. With the help of Karum, his soul was called back from Hell and melded into his body, turning him into a half-human, half-spiritual being, while also nurturing something of unimaginable precedence in his body. The Celestial Ruler created Heaven; the Karot created Hell. What can the Karum, the last creation treasure the universe can nurture, and one that's far stronger than the two former treasures, do? Can he fulfill what it can do? Can he survive under the pursuit of Heaven and Hell? What secret does the universe hold? How was the universe created? Is it from the emergence of a treasure? What’s the secret behind everything?

Pappus & Sonder

R18. The consequences of sex ripple through a lifetime for four college-aged friends, Ruby, Coral, Josh and Luke. Steamy, juicy, racy, yet sensually romantic. Let’s start with wistful Luke, your reflective narrator—the shy watcher. Next, the lovey-dove Coral, the group's collective adhesive. A modern girl with a regency heart, whom Ruby has the hots for. God, she is gorgeous. Coral’s action boyfriend, over-eager Josh, is a hunk who only has sex on his mind and is hopeful Coral will be his first! And risqué Ruby. The little minx is sassy, sharp, conniving, and considering getting inked as the story commences. There is plenty of wayward troupe fun and raucous laughs through high school and college in 1970s Melbourne. Whoops, an overdose of selfishness by everyone at eighteen, and relationships mess because pleasure ignited by pleasure’s ignition is always a pleasure for two or more until someone muddies it with words or actions. So, adult theme warning, erotic impulses are indulged. However, they generate contemplative introspection on friendship, passion, self-centeredness, cheating, brooding, contrition, resilience and love over the next forty years. The story unfolds like recall, intentional or spontaneous, rolling in and out of our minds, non-chronologically. Our yearnings are tattooed under our skin. From there, they will swell back. Ready, set, go, read the ripples! Author Note: The novel is complete, and all 133 chapters will be uploaded and remain unlocked. Dedication For anyone who gifts a second chance Epigraph “all those kids” It is attributed to H.S.Truman, by Henry A. Wallace, diary entry of 10 August 1945. Acknowledgement To the women who shaped my contemplative life and the women, I owe contrition. To my wife, who frames the frame of my life and my daughters, who asked me the perennially unanswerable questions about love and relationships, which triggered me to write the story. To my editors; Nikki, who sparked the novel’s ripples through time and Jennifer, who drew out of me a more engaging and cohesive narrative. To Sonder, coined in 2012 by John Koenig, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows. To dandelion pappus; blown free of yearnings. I include the following here because its prudent as a writer: This novel is entirely a work of fiction. The names, characters and incidents portrayed in it are the work of the author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events or localities is entirely coincidental. Except where real place names and actual tragic events are used with sensitivity.

Fall of a King, Rise of a Villain

‘My enemy, my friend, my love, my pain. He was everything and more to me. My protector and my warden. Most importantly, especially for you, he was my leash.’ ________ Ísar Jovevski, the King of Ogronevia. Praised as a good king, a blessing from the gods, a mighty king. Kind and benevolent king. The greatest King in the kingdom’s history, never mind that his bloody ascension was a bad omen. A man holding a darkness that could consume him as well as everyone around him, if not for his childhood friends. If not for his love for Xinghua Li. Imperial Son Li Xinghua of the Qianlong Empire. A prince, a martial artist, a warrior and Ísar’s childhood friend. The only person in the world that was able to make Ísar nervous and stumble over his words. He loved him. A kind of love where he could not breathe nor exist if the other were not in his life. The kind of love where one’s heart jumped to the throat from a mere smile. The kind of love that turned into a double-edged sword. Where if it were lost—no—broken, the pieces would harm all. And none could’ve avoided the cuts of its shards. _______________ [Excerpt] The shores were stained with thick, black blood. The stench of rotten corpses filled the air as the ocean’s breeze swept over his kneeling form. Ísar stared at the endless void that was the ocean. He barely registered the tears running down his cheeks as he watched the sun rise. The celestial source slowly moved high above his little kingdom and Ísar continued to stare. The screams coming from behind him were muffled background noise. “My King! My King, please! Please spare me!” He didn’t know who that was. The voice was familiar but nothing came to mind. It didn’t matter, in the end. Nothing truly mattered anymore. He squeezed the old and worn out plush toy close to his chest. The fabric was tearing and the little ox toy had never looked uglier. He stared down at it and with a sad smile and teary voice, he said, “You don’t smell like him anymore. Nothing smells like him anymore. Please come back. Please. I miss you, my big star. I miss you.” _________ Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe and Gothic Themes [FKRV is a tragedy fantasy romance with both positive (found family, childhood friends, first loves) and negative themes (loss, grief, loneliness, suicidal ideation, murder). There will also be more mature chapters in the future which I’ll put a R18 warning for. Happy reading!]
