Introduction
In 2025, Deena discovers a hidden staircase sealed behind the library wall.
When she climbs it during a storm, she hears voices — her own... and the girl's from 1899.
Chapter 1
Third person's POV.
She ran through the hallway, barefoot and breathless. Shadows stretched behind her, and footsteps echoed—closer, heavier. Her heart pounded like war drums beneath her ribs.
The diary!
Mary Benicio yanked open the loose panel beneath her dorm cupboard and slid the small leather-bound book inside. She tucked a torn page with it—a warning, a secret she couldn't risk being found.
Just as the door creaked open, she stood straight, brushing strands of hair from her flushed face.
"Miss Benicio," said a voice—too calm to be comforting.
She turned, forcing a smile. "Yes, Master?"
"You broke the rules again?"
"No," she lied, trembling. "I follow the rules. I... I always do."
"You're brilliant, Mary," the voice said, stepping closer. "Too brilliant. You solved the chemical equations no one else could. The virus formula. The medical trial. You're not just a student, are you?"
Mary stepped past him, whispering, "I didn't break any rules."
But the corridor behind her filled with footsteps. A needle pierced her neck.
She didn't scream.
She woke hours later in the Room—cold steel, cement walls, the stench of blood and bleach. The same room others never returned from.
"She's the smartest one we've had," a voice muttered.
"Smarter than we expected," another replied. "Should we kill her?"
"No. Not yet. Torture her. Again. But if she tries to escape..."
"Then eliminate her."
Because Woodlock has no escape.
The next morning, Mary returned to class—limping. The pain under her uniform matched the tally marks she carved into her hidden notebook
'Missing students
Those punished repeatedly
Those who were... selected'
She had learned the truth slowly. some students weren't here to learn. They were here to solve problems for others. Exploited. Monitored. Discarded.
She pulled out her diary and wrote:
"I'm close. Only two locations have no cameras. No guards. That's not an accident. It's either a trap... or the truth. I'm going tonight."
On the last page, she wrote a message for anyone who might one day find it:
"If you're reading this, I'm either missing or dead. My name is Mary Benicio. I was targeted. Just like Ray. Just like the others."
"This academy is a mask—behind it are horrors. Every top student is a tool. The two hardest questions on each exam? They're not for grading. They're real problems. For real consequences. Fail them—and you disappear."
"The ones they target first are those they don't need. The ones who ask questions. So if you want to survive, stay quiet. Don't look too deep. Don't let them know you're watching."
She closed the diary, slid it back under the floorboard, and left for class.
In chemistry, the room applauded. "The genius herself," the lecturer smiled. "Mary cured the latest virus last week. Beat that, everyone."
Mary just smiled and sat—this time, not beside her usual friends. She sat next to Theo.
She slid him a note beneath the table.
"I know you came here for Ray. Leave! If they know you're here for her, you're as good as dead. Please. Leave while you still can."
Theo wrote back.
"I can't leave without her. Thank you for covering for me last night."
"Ray would've done the same. But if they suspect you..."
Later, between classes, Mary led him to a hallway she'd memorized for its blind spots.
"Why are you even here?" she whispered harshly. "You should've stayed away."
"I need to find Ray."
"She failed a chemistry practical. They called her in. She never came back. They said she left—but she didn't."
"Then help me find her." He begged.
"I can't. If I try to escape again, they'll kill my little sister. They know where she is."
"Then we escape. Tonight. You go to your sister. Get protection. I'll create a distraction."
Mary's eyes burned. "Why would you help me?"
"Because you helped me."
She hugged him. "Thank you."
That night, another student was found dead in the library. The school called it suicide.
No one asked why there were bruises on her wrists. Why there was no chair near the hanging rope.
"She was a bright girl," the principal said flatly. "Let us inform her family."
Mary's name was whispered again in the shadows.
A rising star.
A rebel.
A threat.
The last entry in her diary read.
"There's no escape... but I'm going to try anyway. And if I don't make it—find my sister. Tell her I tried."
Because at Woodlock Academy, the brightest lights burn out the fastest.
And Mary Benicio... had burned too bright to be allowed to live.

The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?

For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.

Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps.

Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.

Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.

My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
