The Heart Code

The Fraudulent Heart (Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. Who can understand it?) Mariana Rodriguez, a woman of strength and independence, found herself entangled in a war of syndicates.

He would irrevocably change her world, and in time, she would find herself inexplicably drawn to him, falling in love with the very man who she believed can't love her back. This was a strange turn of events for Mariana, who had never known love before. Calum stirred within her a tempest of emotions: pain, turmoil, sorrow, joy, and ultimately, love. But fate had a cruel twist in store. He would love her, while she, bound by a heart that couldn't reciprocate, would be left to grapple with the consequences. Could they survive a war where bullets flew like rain, unscathed? Or would their connection fade, leaving them forever shattered? By: MARY SHEILAH

A girl had been locked away in a basement, her condition dire. Her wrists were tied with ropes, and her face reflected fear and exhaustion. Four men stood in the room, mocking her pain with twisted enjoyment. One of them laughed and said, “Don’t bother trying to escape, it’s impossible for you to get out of here.” Another added, “Let’s go outside for a smoke, leave her here to rot. We’ll be back in a while.” Laughing, the four men left the basement, shutting the door behind them. The girl quickly composed herself, determined to free herself from the ropes. After several moments of struggle, she finally loosened the bonds. Her hands and legs were badly bruised, but she ignored the pain and pushed forward. She slipped out of the basement and ran into the dark alley. Her torn gown fluttered in the cold night air, and her loose hair flew wildly behind her as she sprinted, her breath coming in sharp gasps. Despite the pain and fatigue, she didn’t stop. Silence surrounded her, except for the sound of her footsteps echoing in the night. Her body ached, but she kept going, her steps growing more desperate with every passing second. Eventually, she found herself at the edge of a dense forest. Through her blurred vision, she saw a river flowing ahead. There was a faint glimmer of hope in her eyes as she stumbled towards it. Kneeling by the water, she tried to drink, her hands shaking. But before she could take more than a few sips, her strength gave out, and she collapsed unconscious by the riverbank. Outside Mumbai – Edge of the Forest On the edge of this forest stood a grand cottage, owned by Abir Rajvansh. Abir Rajvansh – 30 years old, standing 6 feet 2 inches tall, with sharp features, a wheatish complexion, and a dark, commanding aura. On the surface, Abir appeared as a successful businessman, but deep down, his life was a storm of secrets. Cold and ruthless, Abir viewed the world as nothing more than a game to be played. His eyes always reflected a hidden hatred and anger, emotions he had buried deep within. The Personality of Abir Rajvansh Abir’s calm exterior hid a mind constantly at war. His past cast long shadows over his soul, making him indifferent to the emotions of others. To him, people were mere pawns, and those who dared to challenge him often found their lives reduced to ashes. He had never tasted defeat and knew how to erase his enemies in silence, leaving no trace behind. Abir had come to his cottage with a group of friends to celebrate his birthday. But their celebration was interrupted when one of his friends, who had gone near the river, discovered the unconscious girl lying there. Abir was informed immediately. He raised an eyebrow in surprise and said, “A girl? Out here, in this wilderness?” Questions filled his mind, but he knew something unusual was at play. When Abir saw the girl lying there, her lifeless face and disheveled state, he couldn’t take his eyes off her for a moment. There was a strange restlessness in his gaze that he didn’t quite understand. Without hesitation, he ordered his men to carry her inside the cottage. Now, the question loomed—who was this girl, and how had she ended up here? Abir was eager to uncover the truth, but something else stirred in his heart—an unfamiliar emotion that he couldn’t quite place.

Long ago, before the world was consumed by darkness, there existed a heart—a powerful artifact known as the Ancient Heart. It was the source of all life, keeping the balance between worlds. But when the heart was shattered by an unknown force, the world changed. The barrier that kept malevolent creatures from other dimensions at bay crumbled, and these monsters, born from nightmares, invaded, pushing humanity to the brink. In the wake of this catastrophe, a new order emerged. People began to awaken to strange powers between the ages of 3 to 9, abilities that allowed them to fight back against the horrors that now roamed the earth. But not everyone was so fortunate. Those who failed to awaken were branded as the Forsaken—the powerless, the weak, the forgotten. They were relegated to the lowest rungs of society, despised and abandoned. Kai was one of the Forsaken. Born in the desolate outskirts of a once-great city, he had known only suffering and despair. Orphaned at birth, uneducated, and struggling to survive, Kai had always been at the mercy of those stronger than him. Every day was a battle to stay alive, with no hope of escape from the harsh reality of his existence. But everything changed when he was attacked by a strange creature, unlike any of the monsters that had invaded the world. Left for dead, Kai miraculously awakens to find himself reborn with a powerful system and magical abilities that defy explanation. For the first time in his life, he has the power to fight back, to rise above his status as one of the Forsaken
