The story is about the island that never existed

Chapter 1 Misery island curse

Once upon a time, in the midst of a vast, tempestuous ocean, lay a mysterious island known as Misery Island. Legends spoke of its haunting beauty and treacherous secrets, shrouding it in an aura of darkness and despair. Few had dared to venture there, but those who did returned with chilling tales of sorrow and misfortune.

At the heart of the island stood an ominous, crumbling castle, the once-glorious home of a powerful sorcerer named Malachai. Long ago, Malachai had been consumed by darkness and greed, causing a curse to befall the island and all who set foot upon it. For generations, Misery Island had been uninhabited, avoided by sailors and explorers alike.

One day, five brave adventurers, each seeking their own purpose, crossed paths and decided to embark on a perilous journey to uncover the island's secrets. There was Amelia, an intrepid archaeologist yearning to unlock the island's ancient mysteries. William, a sailor whose insatiable curiosity led him to uncharted waters. Lucas, a skilled tracker in search of redemption. Eliza, a gifted healer burdened by a dark past. And finally, Thomas, a scholar with a passion for folklore and legends.

As their ship sailed towards the foreboding silhouette of Misery Island, ominous clouds gathered overhead, and the sea grew restless. Upon reaching the island's shores, they were greeted by an eerie silence. The air was heavy with sorrow, and a sense of foreboding washed over them.

Venturing deeper into the heart of the island, they discovered remnants of the sorcerer's power, long since decayed. Magical wards whispered tales of torment and warned the travelers of the dangers ahead. Ignoring the ominous signs, they pressed on, their curiosity driving them forward.

As they delved further into the island's heart, the adventurers found themselves haunted by apparitions of the past. Visions of those who had fallen victim to the island's curse plagued their dreams and waking moments alike. The burden of sorrow weighed heavily on their souls, and the group's unity began to waver.

One night, while gathered around a campfire, Eliza revealed her tragic past, her pain mirroring the island's sorrow. Her vulnerability forged a stronger bond among the adventurers, and they vowed to continue their quest together, supporting one another through the darkness.

At the heart of the castle, they stumbled upon a chamber adorned with ancient relics and arcane symbols. An unsettling aura filled the room, and Amelia's excitement turned to trepidation as she realized the extent of the sorcerer's power. She deciphered inscriptions that spoke of a possible way to lift the island's curse.

Fueled by hope and determination, the group set out to perform a ritual that would break the curse's hold. Each member had to confront their deepest fears, regrets, and sorrows. The island fought back fiercely, as if it wanted to hold onto its misery, but the adventurers persisted.

As they worked together to break the curse, they discovered the true source of Malachai's downfall: his insatiable greed and lust for power. In the end, they realized that Misery Island was a reflection of the sorcerer's own heart, tainted by darkness.

Through the strength of their unity and the power of redemption, they succeeded in dispelling the curse, freeing the island from its misery. As the sun rose on the day of their departure, the island began to transform. Vibrant flora emerged from the desolation, and a newfound sense of tranquility washed over the land.

With their quest fulfilled, the adventurers bid farewell to Misery Island, forever changed by their journey. They carried its lessons of unity, compassion, and redemption back to the mainland, where they became renowned for their courage and wisdom.

And so, the legend of Misery Island became a tale of resilience, hope, and the transformative power of facing one's demons, reminding all who heard it that even in the darkest places, light can prevail.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend. From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down." That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny. But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded. I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said." Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off." My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers. I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal. Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing. As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury. In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho." How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me? Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault? Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred? I would not be his victim. Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done. I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties. This was not an escape; this was my rebirth. Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises.
