Guilt In Crime

A simple workday at a coffee shop turned James Bellini’s life into something people would fear.

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.

R18+ Innocent Girl+ Cold Ruthless Commander In Chief+He just takes what he wants—her warmth, her silence, her body, her moans. She was rescued, once. And every night after, he reminded her that safety has a price. Pinned to cold walls. Pressed into crates. Straddling his lap when the world outside is filled with death. The world ended quietly—no final warning, no broadcasted panic. One day, humanity just broke. Some blamed a virus. Others called it a purge. But the truth was darker: the world didn’t fall—it was taken. Now, cities rot. Roads are graves. The creatures that stalk the earth aren’t mindless zombies—they’re fast, cunning, mutated echoes of the people they once were. Cherry was supposed to survive with the others—sheltered inside a fortified university bunker. But fate doesn’t follow plans. Torn away during a breach, she’s saved by a man who doesn’t ask for thanks. He takes it. Ruthless. Silent. A former soldier or maybe just a monster shaped by this new world—he keeps her alive. But every night he saves her... he ruins her. Pinned against walls, steel doors, damp mattresses—wherever his hunger takes him. She never asked for this. Never wanted to be his. But survival has a cost. And in this world, there is no such thing as kindness without debt. Now, she faces a different kind of war: Will she find the strength to break free? To fight back? Or will she fall deeper into his shadow—until she no longer remembers who she used to be? Will this be a love story. This is a tale of power, pain, and primal choices. In a world where weakness is death, only the cruel, the cunning, and the broken survive. R18+ raw & explicit Zombie apocalypse Survival = submission Dubious consent Brutal male lead Fast, smart infected Pinned anywhere, anytime Power over comfort Saved just to be ruined

Crime and Punishment is a novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoevsky. It was first published in the literary journal The Russian Messenger in twelve monthly installments during 1866. It was later published in a single volume. It is the second of Dostoevsky's full-length novels following his return from ten years of exile in Siberia. Crime and Punishment is considered the first great novel of his mature period of writing and is often cited as one of the greatest works of world literature. I don't own any of this work

In a world where emotion fuels destruction, the greatest threat isn’t what people do—it’s what they don’t. Drive is the volatile energy born from resisting your own instincts. Repressed rage. Swallowed fear. Suppressed guilt. Most people leak it. Others wield it. And when too much builds up, it doesn’t vanish—it festers. The result? Hollows—mindless entities formed from humanity’s buried urges. They haunt the streets, feeding on tension, grief, and silence. At the center of it all is the Core Authority—a broken institution that recruits emotionally unstable teens to contain what adults caused and can't control. Failing is death. Succeeding means losing yourself anyway. In this system, being strong means being unwell—and surviving means never being whole again.

Vale is a fugitive without a face—an entity condemned to survive by leaping from body to body with a single touch. Once a promising biologist in Oxford, Vale’s life is violently severed when a random act of violence triggers an inexplicable transformation: his consciousness is torn from his dying body and thrust into that of his attacker. From that moment, Vale is forced to navigate a fractured existence, inhabiting strangers’ lives and carrying their memories, desires, and secrets as his own. Haunted by the loss of identity and pursued by relentless hunters who know what he is, Vale drifts through the streets of Zurich and Manchester, always one step ahead, always an outsider. Each new host brings fresh dangers and moral dilemmas—families who sense something is wrong, memories that threaten to overwhelm, and the constant fear of discovery. As Vale searches for meaning in his cursed ability and glimpses of his former self, he is forced to confront what it truly means to be human: is he a mistake, a weapon, or something else entirely? Set against a backdrop of cold cities and hidden lives, this literary thriller explores themes of identity, alienation, and the price of survival. With a voice both intimate and detached, the narrative delves into the psychology of a protagonist who is always present, yet never truly at home—caught between lives, hunted by his past, and searching for a place to belong
