Knight with lady snake

There were no heroes allowed here. Not anymore. On the giant screen above the courtroom, the crowd watched-- Betas in gray suits, Gammas in brown jumpsuits--all staring at the man whose face flickered like a lighting cigarette in darkness on half transparent screen against the dust colored sky. Captain Lee. Once a hero. Now branded a criminal. Surrounded by enemies, stripped of hid starship, his name, his truth-- yet he still carried that calm, dangerous grace that made the auidence whisper: monster. ''Mr. Lee,'' Judge Wallen said from his elevated sea, voice dripping with polished contempt.'' Our citizens live in happiness. And you-- you've destroyed countless lives. It's tragic to see a man fall so far.'' Lee lifted his head, his eyes sharp as a blade. ''You call it happiness.'' He said. '' But your people live like animals. Animals are happy too-- they graze, they work, they give milk and eggs...until the day they're slaughtered. That's the kind of happiness you had given to your people.'' A murmur ripped through the crowd. Then--blackness. The world shatters around him. When Lee opened his eyes, the courtroom was gone. Now he stood in a ball room. Endless supplies of champagne, jewels shinning, cigars lighting, and the the chandelier is brighter than sunshine. He's now a CEO and biggest share holder of All Natural pharmaceutical company and one of the most influential donor. Men flattering him and women are flirting. Wealth, fame, power, status...he's got them all. And there's one woman caught his attention. Eyes as wild as cats' and as emerald as forest. lips red as fire. She can get anyone if she wants. '' My name is Cici.'' Game is on. Are they able to escape this trap that seems real and sweet and perfect with gold?

[BL] Villain’s Favorite Exorcist

Elijah's life was… normal. Or as normal as life can be when you’re an exorcist-in-training with a knack for angering the dead and setting the demon on a hunting spree. Admitted to one of the prestigious universities, Eli's goal is to study hard and stay away from trouble. But one bad choice changes everything. Dragged into the clutches of a violent syndicate, Eli made a split-second decision. He grabbed the tattooed young man and pressed a knife to his throat, "Come close and I'll kill him." The gang froze in pure terror. Eli didn't see the faint smirk curling on his hostage's lips. Trying to ease his guilt of dragging the innocent bystander into this mess, Eli agrees to let the “poor, traumatized man” stay with him. But Alexei Vetrov isn’t some helpless victim. He’s the heir to the Russian mafia. And now that he’s gotten a taste of his pretty exorcist’s gentleness? He has no intention of letting Eli go. By the time Eli realized the truth, it was far too late to run. Alexei loomed over him, one hand pinning Eli’s cuffed wrists to the mattress as his knee forced his legs apart. His other hand wandered lower, watching in fascination as flustered Eli squirmed beneath him. His dark eyes gleamed with deranged hunger to possess. "Careful now, Solnyshko... You're going to burn yourself before I've had my fill of you." In that moment, Eli understood. He’d provoked a human far more dangerous than demons. Note- Before You Enter… This story wanders through shadowed streets where the dead linger and the living are no less haunted. It contains dark themes: crime, death, spirits that are not at rest, and a love story wrapped in exorcism and gunshots.

Scars He Gave Me

"You know what a good girl would have done? A good girl would have stayed home instead of sneaking out of her father's compound just to get a man to fuck her. A good girl wouldn't have stabbed a man like me with a pen. And most of all, a good girl wouldn't be turned on by holding a gun to a man's chest." I lean closer to her. "You're no good girl, Ivanna." "You… you're wrong." "Go on then. Come on. Pull the trigger." *** My name is Ivanna. I am the daughter of Misha Sidorov, the head of the Krasnoyarsk Bratva. I have just graduated and I’m about to go to college. My life is perfect until Sergio Sakharov comes into the picture. He is the darkness itself. He reigns over the entire Sakharov family and by extension, the Dvina River Vory Bratva. His word is law, and his desire is absolute. Everything changes in a split second when he steals me away and holds prisoner in Tyva, a bride for his only heir. But Sergio doesn’t take no for an answer. He always gets whatever he wants and against all reason, he claims me for himself instead. He thinks I’m the perfect match for his desires and he is determined to keep me close, even if I fight him at every turn. Except, I’m no helpless pawn. I’m not innocent. I have tasted his dark side, and I want more. The don himself, the man they call the Volkov of Dvina River appeals to me in the most sinful of ways. His wickedness draws me in, and when he decides that he wants me, I’m helpless. I can’t resist him, even if it means giving myself to him. He may think he has power over me and can control me every step of the way, but I’m about to show him who the real boss is.
