Celeste

Heart of a Shark : Love for My Ruthless Husband's Brother

Celeste Everhart (18) never thought she would have the opportunity to see her life through one more time. From a little girl who couldn’t speak to an unwanted heiress who was sacrificed to the brutal but well-hidden Brightwells, Celeste’s sorrow knows no depth. Given a new start, Celeste thought she knew everything she would do differently, but she was wrong. As Celeste treads through these familiar waters, she unravels more of the story than she had originally expected. Especially now that she has come back as a different person, three very different men are in her life. First, her true love, the man she had loved so fiercely in her past, the one who had made her speak again: Avond Brightwell (28). But what if everything she knew about him was not true? What if the sweet, loving, and caring man she loved was everything but? And most importantly, what is his connection to her older sister? Second, the man who had hated her mocked her disability, and been a thorn in her side—Tiel Brightwell (22), the father of her only child. Being the man who had shown her what it meant to cry, Celeste never thought he was capable of tenderness and care. Could this be the man she had married? What happened to him that made him this way? And if he did everything to win her heart, could she forgive him for the things he was capable of doing? And third, someone Celeste had only heard of from her sister, a shadow long forgotten, with a tragic future waiting for him: Gen Callisto (23), the self-made millionaire. Celeste never thought Gen could hold a place in her heart. But can she save him from the despair looming on the horizon? Can she hold him close but far enough so that she can still get the man she wants? Or will Gen just be the man she was meant to be with? After everything, will Celeste choose to have vengeance, or is it simply not in her nature? ----- Disclaimer : I'll be starting the story from the beginning, not immediately after the rebirth itself. So please be patient, it will pay off! :D

Rise Beyond Celestial

Raphael’s heart skipped a beat, while Celest, unable to contain his fear, trembled on the spot, ready to give in to panic. Linfer, however, watched them all with absolute detachment. To him, their movements seemed slow, very slow. Even Luciel, moving at near-light speed, appeared frozen in time. With a simple beat of his wings, Linfer floated above the surface of the blood-red sea, indifferent to the slowness of those around him. His dark claws gleamed faintly as he brought his index finger to his forehead, where an Omega symbol was engraved into his flesh. The symbol shimmered, radiating a terrifying aura, as a drop of black blood slowly emerged, suspended in the air. The silence became absolute. In a whisper barely audible, but resonating throughout the ninth heaven, "[Ashkharsh: All Red]" The drop of black blood finally fell. The moment it touched the surface of the blood sea... A psychopath, a hedonist, a sanguinophile, Linfer, nicknamed the Blood Devil, had brought Armageddon to humanity. His power was so great it made the mightiest tremble. But his impulsiveness attracted the attention of the Tao Tree… Unsealed after thousands of years… "Young Master Bai! The Devourer has left traces in a kingdom of the lower plane!" "Gather the inner disciples! As servants of the Tao, we must purge this evil, even if it means sacrificing ourselves!" "The younger generation is truly lucky to have you!" "That’s true~" A faint smile spread across his face.

HER IDENTICAL PROBLEMS

Celeste stood at the beach, feeling his presence behind her. She swallowed nervously. It was now or never; these four years of one-sided love were going to end today. "Marcello, I want you to know I'm in love with you. I was going to endure it, but I can't. Marcello, I want to be yours, so please give me a chance," she shouted, turning around with tears in her eyes as she quickly hugged him. "Please, Marcello, I can't do this anymore. I know it sounds crazy, but I have always loved you," she said, burying her face below his chest. Lorenzo froze. He had received an anonymous message meant for his brother Marcello and had come in his place, thinking it was a threat. He had not expected to see a lady by the beach. She looked so delicate and dream-like, with the way the moon glistened on her alabaster skin and raven black hair, which looked like it had silver streaks when it flowed in the evening breeze. The soft dress swirled around her, sometimes billowing around her too. She was a siren, and he was enchanted by her beauty. He stood staring as she confessed her feelings, his body coming alive from her touch. She hugged him tightly, like a lover scared to let go, but the name on her lips wasn't his; it was his brother's—Marcello. ________ Celeste confesses her love to Marcello, her first love, but in a shocking twist, she discovers she actually poured her heart out to his older twin, Lorenzo whom she suddenly found herself growing attached to.

Meanwhile, Marcello's heartbreak and sense of betrayal threaten to destroy the brothers' relationship which had proven to be as hard as a rock for years. Will Celeste find true love with Marcello or follow her heart to Lorenzo? Can the brothers forgive each other and themselves if she were to make an unfavorable decision to either or both of them?

Kaizer's memory faded into obscurity, forgotten by Vampire Society. The populace of New Sanguine City, now dominated in numbers by Ascended Vampires, and ruled by the original Noble Vampires, saw unprecedented power and prosperity through the transformative capabilities of Blood Tech. Humans, once prey, now live within a secure compound, leading relatively ordinary lives during daylight hours as essential members of the city's workforce. In the sequel to "Shadows of Sanguine," the Vampire princess Darcia embarks on a perilous journey haunted by a Curse, a consequence of her grief over the loss of Kaizer, the Lost Child of Nocturnastra.

Her power wanes, and the only hope for salvation lies in reuniting with her lost love. As Darcia navigates the streets and alleys of New Sanguine City, she seeks to uncover the truth behind Blood Technology, for she finds it peculiar how the advent of Blood Tech severed the traditional link between Vampires and their primal need for Human blood, and it came almost right after Kaizer's disappearance. Darcia becomes the linchpin of a secretive resistance group known as "The Kaizer Project." Led by the rebel princess, the group seeks to unveil the mysteries shrouding the technological advancements in Vampire Society and discover Kaizer Anderson's whereabouts.

Meanwhile, Isyra's prophecy predicts an apocalypse, fueled by the fear of Alessia's potential escape.

Leading the "Kaizer Project", she grapples with immediate challenges in New Sanguine City while contending with cosmic forces that threaten chaos against Sanguine and the Overworld as well. Amidst the struggle for truth and the quest for Kaizer, the characters navigate a perilous landscape of Vampires, prophecies, and the supernatural, facing an uncertain future. With her fate entwined with Kaizer's, Darcia faces a race against time, battling not only the formidable challenges of the Vampire hierarchy but also the debilitating effects of her Curse. Can she overcome the shadows of her past, break the Curse, and reunite with Kaizer to alter the destiny of Sanguine forever?
