Piercing The Veil Of Corporate

Veils of Destiny

Omolola Ajibade is a stunning 24-year-old woman who epitomises beauty, strength, and a fervent dedication to social justice in the bustling city of Ibadan, Nigeria. A fervent philanthropist and manager in her family's enormous business empire, she dedicates her life to improving the lives of impoverished kids in her neighbourhood. But underneath her composed exterior is a turbulent secret: she is secretly in love with a recent University of Lagos graduate without a job, a love that is unrecognised and unreturned. When Omolola's parents start pressuring her into an arranged marriage because they want a union that fits with their social standing and family values, her life takes a complex turn. Her mother, Ayinke, is graceful and supportive but constrained by tradition, and her father, Abolaji Ajibade, is a successful businessman with strong political connections. Omolola struggles with the tension between her family's aspirations and her own needs for independence and love as she negotiates the expectations put on her. As the story unfolds, Omolola discovers that her love interest has a hidden identity—he comes from a wealthy family that has fallen from grace. Her feelings are exacerbated by this discovery as she struggles with betrayal and trust issues. When political intrigue emerges and it becomes clear that her arranged marriage is a component of a bigger plot involving her father's connections, the pressure increases.

In the world of high-stakes power plays, manipulation, and psychological warfare, Aiden Devereux is a master of control. A brilliant strategist and manipulator, Aiden's rise through the ranks of a shadowy global organization known as The Circle is driven by one goal: to claim ultimate authority over the world's most influential networks. With his unwavering focus on power, Aiden employs every tool at his disposal—deception, seduction, subversion, and mind games—to eliminate rivals and bend the world to his will. But the path to dominance is never clear-cut. As Aiden ascends, he faces growing opposition not just from his enemies, but from the very forces within himself. His manipulations begin to take a toll on his psyche, eroding his sense of morality and forcing him to confront the human cost of his relentless ambition. The deeper he digs into The Circle’s tangled web, the more he uncovers about its dark origins and the hidden figures pulling its strings. As Aiden's mastery over others reaches its peak, he encounters new adversaries—rivals with their own formidable tactics, including a former mentor who knows his every move, and a cunning seductress whose emotional intelligence threatens to destabilize his cold, calculated worldview. But it is not just outside forces that threaten him; the very manipulation he has used to control others begins to turn inward, as he starts questioning if he has become a pawn in a much larger game. When a new figure, Julian Thorne, emerges from the shadows—a strategist with a mind as sharp and dangerous as Aiden’s—the stakes become personal. With The Circle on the brink of collapse, Aiden is faced with an agonizing choice: take control of the empire he has spent years building, or destroy it all and erase the legacy of power that has consumed him. The Serpent’s Throne is a psychological thriller that explores the depths of ambition, the cost of absolute power, and the delicate balance between control and chaos. As Aiden’s world unravels, readers are taken on a harrowing journey through deception, betrayal, and the ultimate test of one man’s will to bend fate to his design.

The Timeless Veil

Rudra was in the middle of his morning exercise, the rhythmic thud of his feet on the ground and the cool morning air clearing his mind. But his routine was abruptly interrupted by a sound that sent a chill down his spine—the piercing wail of the base siren. That siren only meant one thing: enemy jets were closing in on Indian airspace. Rudra was the first to engage the income Pakistani jets, locking onto an F-16. His MiG might have been old, but in his hands, it was deadly. His first missile found its mark, taking down one of the Pakistani jets. He quickly locked onto a second F-16, but this time, the enemy pilot deployed flares, deflecting the missile. As Rudra maneuvered for another strike, Captain Jorawar’s F-16 swooped in. Rudra managed to avoid the missile fired by Jorawar with a rapid maneuver, but the intense move took a toll on his aging MiG—his engine caught fire, and alarms began blaring in the cockpit. He ejected just in time, but disaster struck—his parachute caught fire, leaving him falling fast towards the earth. As Rudra fell, the cold wind whipping against his face, his life flashed before his eyes—not just the battles and the glory, but the regrets that weighed heavy on his heart. In those final moments, a thought gripped him: if somehow, by some miracle, I survive this... if I get another chance... I will live my life to the fullest. It wasn’t just about duty anymore; it was about making amends, about healing the wounds that time and circumstance had torn open. His mind turned to his foster family—the people who had taken him in after he lost his parents at the age of four. Commander Karanveer Batra, his father's friend, had raised him like his own son, alongside his own children. Yet, despite all the love they had given him, a distance had grown between them. The estrangement had left a scar on his mind, one that made him realize the difference between true blood and a foster family. The girl he had once loved, with all the intensity of a young heart, had ended up marrying his foster brother. She had become his sister-in-law, and Rudra had never dated anyone after that. The pain of that unrequited love had strained his relationship with his brother, and by extension, with his foster father and sister. He could still see his foster father's disappointed, pained face and his sister's helpless, sad eyes. If I survive... I’ll make things right, he vowed. I’ll repair those bonds, and I’ll create a family of my own—a family that I can truly call my own. As these thoughts filled his mind, a strange calm settled over him, and slowly, the world around him faded away. In the distance, the reinforcements from Jamnagar arrived, forcing Jorawar and his squadron to retreat. But for Rudra, the battle was over. What went unnoticed, however, was that Rudra's body had fallen onto the ancient steps of a Shiva temple, believed to be self-manifested. The temple stood silent and untouched, yet from within its depths, a thick, unnatural fog began to seep out, swirling with purpose as it crept closer to his still form—its intent unknown, its origin a mystery. Squadron Leader Rudra Pratap was born in 1992. At 32 years old, he had never married, dedicating his life to duty. And this seemed to be the end of his story... or perhaps, the beginning of something new. Follow Rudra on his journey as he defies fate, transforming from a patriotic soldier into a shrewd and calculating businessman. Watch as he not only reshapes his own life, but alters the balance of global power in his relentless pursuit of success. .................................................. 2 Chapters/Week

VEIL OF SHADOW AND LIGHT

In a world where the forces of light and darkness are in constant struggle, a celestial god named Li Tian descends to the mortal realm on a sacred mission: to eradicate an ancient evil that has plagued humanity for centuries. Known for his unyielding sense of justice and purity, Li Tian has spent countless lifetimes watching over the celestial heavens, upholding order and delivering judgment. But this journey to the mortal world exposes him to the nuances of human morality, forcing him to confront the thin line between good and evil. Upon his descent, Li Tian meets Wei Yan, a mysterious, sharp-witted wanderer with an unshakable aura of danger and hidden power. Unknown to Li Tian, Wei Yan is a former demon lord who once ruled the dark underworld with an iron fist. For reasons he keeps hidden, Wei Yan left his realm and has spent years trying to tame his own dark instincts, renouncing violence and struggling to adopt a path of redemption. Still, his nature pulls him toward chaos, and he is haunted by the fear of his past self surfacing. Despite Wei Yan’s efforts to keep his identity hidden, Li Tian senses a familiar, powerful darkness within him. The two clash frequently, Li Tian’s rigid sense of justice often colliding with Wei Yan’s roguish pragmatism. However, as they journey together, battling monstrous threats and supernatural forces, an unlikely bond of brotherhood forms between them. Through each encounter, they push each other to evolve—Li Tian, slowly understanding the complexity of human morality, learns that purity of heart does not mean blindness to shades of grey; Wei Yan, wrestling with his darker instincts, starts to believe he can truly redeem himself, if only he can live up to the celestial god's trust in him. But their path is fraught with secrets and betrayals. Ancient forces from Wei Yan’s past awaken, attempting to drag him back into darkness, while the celestial heavens question Li Tian’s judgment, fearing he is being corrupted by the mortal realm. Together, they must face trials that challenge not only their strength but the core of who they are. In the end, it’s not a matter of light triumphing over darkness but rather finding balance between the two—where even those born of shadows can find redemption, and those born of light can understand the beauty of imperfection.
