Introduction
For ten years, Van Zero was just a mechanic until Black Crown burned everything he loved and called it an accident. Now the nation that buried its greatest weapon has dug him back up. No badge. No army. No mercy. The War God has returned and this time, he isn't fighting for his country.
Chapter 1
The garage door closed down with a clatter at exactly 17:37. Most days it meant overtime, deadlines, one more client squeezed in before dark and getting paid for services well delivered. But that was not the case today. Today he was going home early.
Van wiped the grease off his hands with a rag that had seen better years and tossed it in the dustbin. He flipped the sign on the window to close, locked it and went out through the back door.
“Leaving early?” said Marcus, the owner of the shop next-door was emptying out his trash at the back.
“Yes,” Van said, adjusting the brown paper bag under his arm while locking the door. “Birthday”
“Ah, Noah’s what now? Six?”
“Six tomorrow”
“You’re going to let him fly it inside again?” Marcus was grinning “Mrs Smith on shop 4b is still angry about the ceiling fan”
Van let something close to a smile cross his face “He'll go to the park, I promise”
He got inside his truck and it smelled of motor oil and the lemon air freshener Laura kept on getting him.
He dropped the paper bag on the passenger seat and the bag fell to the side revealing a red and black coloured helicopter. He had skipped lunch earlier and spent about forty minutes in the toy store making sure it was the exact one Noah had pointed at some weeks ago.
His phone vibrated on the dash, it was a call from Laura. He put it on speaker.
“Hey,” her voice came through half laughing and half yelling. In the background, a cartoon theme song was playing loudly and he could hear the excitement in Noah's voice.
“Dad? Is daddy home?”
“Hey you, I'll be home soon. I'm just leaving now” Van turned on the ignition.
“Better, because someone has been guarding the front door ever since asking if the helicopter man is here yet”
“I got it alright,” Van said, chuckling.
There was a pause and the background noise reduced.
“Okay, drive safely. I'm making dinner, Noah’s favorite” Laura said
“great, save me a plate”
“You bet. I love you”
“Love you too”
Van hung up and pulled onto the main road leaving a trail of dust in its wake.
Dusk was settling over the city, street lights flickered on and traffic moved slow. It was the beginning of the evening rush hour traffic.
Van drove with one hand on the steering and the other hand out the window. On the right, he saw a political campaign poster with the tag “To Serve with honour” . Someone had drawn a mustache and beard and the politician's clean shaved face. Van shook his head, chuckling a little . To the left of his rear mirror, he saw a black SUV. It stood out because the windows were tinted and it had a number plate that is far from the one issued to regular citizens. From his experience in the military he recognized the number pattern. It was a military-issued vehicle and it was directly behind him.
Van looked away. It was a public road so it could mean nothing. He kept his hand steady on the wheel and didn't check the mirror again.
The SUV continued straight ahead while he took a right at an intersection. Old habits, he thought to himself.
“I’m just Paranoid” He said to the empty truck adjusting the mirror while stopping for a red light.
After what felt like an eternity, the light turned green and he turned onto the street where his home was located.
The street was quiet, suburban, the kind of place you raised a kid, not the kind where anything happened
Van was just a few houses away from his. He saw a bicycle parked outside a building and his mind went to his son. Noah had never wanted a bicycle for his birthday. He was afraid he would fall off because he was not big enough to ride so he settled with the helicopter for his birthday. Noah wanted to join the military and fly a real helicopter like his father and Van couldn't have been prouder that his son wants to be like him even though the military has its downside.
Van's mind snagged on the cake, the candles. Him and Laura had debated whether to use six individual candles or a single candle shaped the number 6. They had also debated whether to let Laura bake it or buy the cake from a store even though Laura had promised she would make it better this time. They debated about a lot of things. Clothes to wear, whether to trim Noah's hair before the party, small things, the kind he looked forward to at the end of every day.
He was anticipating the look on Noah's face as he opens the gift wrap to find the helicopter when he felt a shockwave.
The truck shook and the windshield shattered, together with the house windows on the street.
He slammed on the brakes and shielded his face with the back of his arms. His ears went deaf for a moment and then came the sounds in a roar. The screaming and the car alarms.
Van got out of the car and saw smoke up in the sky.
The world slowed down and immediately Van sprinted blindly towards the smoke hoping it was the bakery by the corner because they've had issues with their gas mains lately. Nothing else mattered, only Laura and Noah.
He pushed past the group of people blocking his path including those running towards him, away from the blast and others just standing there watching in horror. His phone vibrated in his breast pocket and he was hoping it was a call from Laura to tell him that they were okay.
He stopped running and brought out the phone. It was from an unknown number. He stared at it for a moment and answered the call praying it was not from the hospital.
“Mr Zero”
The male voice was flat and had no accent he could place.
“Who's this?” Van demanded, the siren drowning out his voice.
“Your house just exploded” the caller said and the line went dead immediately.
Van lowered the phone looking ahead as the smoke shifted in the evening wind revealing the epicenter of the blast.
He tried so hard not to believe it but it was impossible because he was standing right in front of a smoking crater where his white and green suburban home used to be.

Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
The mafia princess return
Lethal Web of Mafia's Revenge (Sequal to "Innocent in Mafia's Web)
He was a beast inhabiting this mansion, inflicting inhuman torture on my poor soul. He had created a living hell for me, this pitiful girl, within his castle.
On this cold winter night, he threw my wounded body into the icy pool, arrogantly enjoying it all, drinking and smoking expensive cigars. A satisfied, cold smile played on his lips as he reveled in my pain. His face was filled with the darkness of sin.
“How...more...am I…still…standing?” I stammered, my lips trembling.
Zain paused, thinking. Then, turning away from her, he replied:
“Until you die!”
With that, he left. As he wished. At that moment, my wish came true; I died.
But not in a frozen pool; I was struck in the head by a bullet from afar, blood splattering everywhere—that was far more gruesome.
My consciousness began to fade, but suddenly, I opened my eyes again and found myself mopping the floor in an ordinary restaurant.
I was startled: What happened? I was reborn? This is unbelievable!

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."

But when Alex vanishes without a word after a morning of gentle intimacy, Sarah is left with a hollow ache and a creeping doubt.
Their encounter was no accident. Behind Alex's blue eyes and skilled touch lies a darkness far deeper than she ever imagined—and the love that burned so bright may come with a price that could destroy her.
