The Lucifer's Muse
Adventure In the shadowy depths of a deserted alley, Ixora moved like a whisper - each step careful, her senses sharp. Just a few more paces and she'd be home. Gripping her stun gun tight, she cursed herself for losing track of time again after another late-night practice.
Then - a hand clamped around her ankle. She screamed, instinct kicking in as she lashed out. But instead of fleeing, a weak, desperate voice reached her ear. A man, barely clinging to consciousness, refused to release her leg.
"Check over there!" another voice growled through the dark, sending a chill down her spine. Whoever they were, they weren't good news.
Thinking fast, Ixora dragged the stranger and herself beneath a discarded, rain-soaked cloak, barely breathing as heavy footsteps passed them by. Who was this injured man? Why was he being hunted?
Dive into the gripping, pulse-pounding world of The Lucifer's Muse - where danger lurks in every shadow, secrets run deep, and fate binds the most unlikely of souls. You might like
THE DON'S SECRET OBSESSION ( His Bride, Her Prison)
tianahtianah I never wanted any part in this. But I have no choice. With a deep sigh, I force down an invisible lump in my throat, looking up at the priest.
I press my fingers tighter into the flower I am holding, hoping it hides how much I am shaking. Dreading the words the priest is about to utter.
"Do you, Ariella Cecilia Boone, take Dermos Salvatore to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest asks.
I blink.
I badly want to say it, badly want to scream that I am not Ariella Cecilia Boone.
My lips tremble as I force the truth down my throat, "Yes, I do." I murmur, my voice a little over a whisper.

In an attempt to save her family from his wrath, she takes her sister's place at the wedding.
Pain, suffering, and betrayal are all she knows the moment she became his. Secrets begin to unveil as she realises her family isn't what it seems.

He never wanted Ariella; it had always been her.
Ariel has to choose between a love built on lies or betraying her sister and family.

Wake Up, Dream Boy!
Mr. Ben Having some of the poems in the first edition of the poem collection, ‘The P.O.T (Poured Out Thoughts)’ published in several poetry magazines as High On Poems, Earthborne Magazine, Deadsnakes and so on, the author has ushered in the second, titled ‘The P.O.T (Poured Out Thoughts) ---The Reloaded.
It is said to be ‘reloaded’ because there are other poems to be added to make this edition slightly richer than the first. With poems as ‘Out of the Box’, ‘Dad Loves Me’, ‘Heralding God’s Magnificence’ being published in notable poetry journals and magazines, the sequel is hoped to make an impact to the entire world, beginning with the readers.
The Table of Contents has the additional poems that readers, who have read the first edition, would realize. They are intended to look into general issues, family, gender, parental, religious (Christian faith), children, love and personal/motivational.
The aim behind this piece is simple. As said in the first edition, it is about entertaining, enlightening, inspiring or motivating and enabling people think for themselves.
Worthy of Note: The author believes that subsequent edition(s) of the work would carry the above-stated aim.
