twisted

Detective Ray and her partner, Jed, take on what should have been a simple assignment: investigate a secluded mansion said to flicker with strange lights at night. A routine mystery. A contained case. But the moment they cross the property line, the world behind them dissolves. The road they walked on twists into nothing. The town disappears. Only fog remains—dense, silent, swallowing everything they once knew. Ahead of them stands the mansion. Ray’s Home. Inside, reality fractures. Each room reshapes itself into scenes pulled from Ray’s imagination—fragments of stories, fears, dreams, and unresolved pieces of herself she never intended anyone to see. Ghostly manifestations wander the halls: playful, haunting, chaotic… and familiar. Jed fears they are trapped in a living labyrinth. Ray begins to fear something else. The mansion responds to her thoughts. It bends to her emotions. It knows her. With every door they open, they descend deeper into Ray’s inner world—her creativity, her chaos, her darkness, her brilliance—until the boundaries between detective and dreamer begin to dissolve. Because at the end of this maze lies the truth Ray has avoided all her life: To escape the mansion, she must confront not a monster, not a spirit, but herself— the version of Ray that creates worlds… and the version of Ray that can destroy them. A delayed Halloween Special where mystery meets imagination, and the greatest danger is realizing the story has been watching you back.

The universe hated me so much, it tossed me around, then dumped me straight into the arms of my father’s killer. — I thought I understood monsters. I grew up with them. I survived them. I swore I would kill the one who murdered my father and brothers. But when I finally found him, I failed. Dante Corsetti. Alpha. Mafia boss. The man who destroyed my family and dragged me into his house like a living trophy. He broke me apart until I didn’t know where my rage ended and his cruelty began. He said I was nothing. A prisoner. A reminder of everything he’d lost. A punishment for sins I never committed. Yet the longer I stayed, the more the world I thought I knew cracked open. The secrets about my bloodline, lies my father died with and a supernatural truth I should never have discovered. And in the middle of it all, a mate bond tied me to the monster I hated most. The goddess must be laughing because Dante is not the only one drawn to me. There were two others. Knox, who looked at me like I was the first good thing the goddess ever gave him. Reed, who claimed I was destined for him no matter who he had to fight. Three alphas. One impossible bond. And me, trapped between revenge, desire, and a fate dark enough to break every one of us.

"You promised not to leave, Dad..." "Why did you break your promise? We pinky swore." "You were easy to love... but hard to keep." They all left—family, love, even time itself. But Camilla Raye stayed. Alone. Forgotten. Still breathing.

As old wounds collide with buried secrets, Lilian and the Duke must unlearn a lifetime of hatred and uncover the truth hidden beneath generations of lies, betrayal and manipulation.

Wrong résumé. Wrong desk. Wrong man. Lena Hart never meant to end up on the CEO's radar- and definitely not as his fake fiancée. Rules were simple: No feelings. No jealousy. No attachment. But then the pretend engagement starts to feel real... and someone begins digging into her life. What happens when the lie becomes the only thing keeping them alive?

The night that was supposed to be the peak of my life became the night I lost everything. My step-sister Rose stole my achievements. My fiancé chose her over me. My father handed over the company I built with my own hands… to her. And when I finally walked away, broken and exhausted, Karl followed me home—drunk, furious, and ready to destroy what little I had left. One blow to the head was all it took to end Jenna Harvour. At least, that’s what the world was meant to believe. I didn’t die. I woke up drugged, half-conscious, and listening to people decide how to “dispose” of me.I heard Rose’s voice ordering my death to be written off as suicide. I heard doctors bargaining over my body. And when I was finally strong enough to open my eyes, I was greeted by a stranger’s face and a new name forced onto me: Jenna Lorance. They buried my old identity. They held a funeral with my name on it. And I was expected to disappear quietly into this new life they created. But the world doesn’t get rid of me that easily. My unexpected lifeline comes in the form of Damian Black—the heir to the largest mafia syndicate and the last person I ever thought would notice me. He shouldn’t care about a woman like me… yet he’s the only one who looks at me as if he can sense the truth beneath my new skin. Revenge is easy. Escaping him is not. Because once a man like Damian decides you’re his, he doesn’t let go—not even if the whole world believes you’re already dead. _________ Re-upload because i needed to fix first 6 chapters [Warning: Mature Context, R18+]

In the theatre of the living, everyone performs. They wear masks of joy, sorrow, love, desperate to be seen, to be felt, to matter. Ravanya's performance ended at seventeen. After a lifetime of systematic cruelty in a house that was never a home, she didn't break. She simply… stopped. The vibrant tapestry of emotion withered, leaving behind a hollow shell and a gaze that saw the world for what it was: a cruel, unforgiving expanse of patterns and lies. They broke her quietly, systematically, until there was nothing left to break. She died emotionally long before the Void claimed her. In a world of hidden powers and supernatural bloodlines, everyone mistakes her void for strength. They fear the girl with eyes like still water at night. They call her a monster. A cold-hearted prodigy. But they should be terrified of what’s staring back. And when she meets the one girl whose performance of numbness is almost as perfect as her own genuine void, Ravanya is forced to confront the one question that remains: In a world of illusions, is the ultimate freedom becoming the truth… or becoming the monster that truth creates?

Leah Stone learned early that the universe doesn’t punish you with brutality, it punishes you with patterns. The kind you only notice when it’s already too late. Forty-three people crossed her path. Forty-three died within seventy-two hours. Not accidents. Not coincidences. A sequence. A design. She wasn’t grieving. She was observing. And when the first body fell from an empty sky-broken, ash-coated, stamped with a signature only she could see, Leah understood the truth: Something vast had chosen her as its instrument of selection. Not to kill. To announce. A consciousness older than causality uses her presence as a signal, its quiet verdict delivered through the human vessel least inclined to resist. Scientists call her an anomaly. Governments call her a threat. Cults call her the threshold to a new era. But the void that speaks through her has no mythology. No morality. Only protocol. And as Leah begins to recognize the precision of the system, who is marked, why, what collapses or catastrophes each death prevents, the question becomes unbearably sharp: If fate is merely an algorithm, and she is its interface, then does ending a life become a crime… or a correction? The world fears she is the omen of their extinction. Leah fears she might be the beginning of their first truth.

His crushing grip made her wince in pain and fear. “It’s yours. Why won’t you believe me?” “I wanted to. But these reports tell different story.” He threw the paternity test reports at her. “Hope is not my child?” The ground shattering revelation rattled Summer.

SYNOPSIS She tightened her fingers around the rosary, the beads cutting into skin. Then, his voice slid against her ear like a blade dipped in holy water. “By the time I am done, Sister… you will be begging to say my name instead of His.” Luca's hand settled at the small of her back, possessive, burning through the coarse wool of her habit as he pulled her down the ancient aisle. Cameras didn't flash here; only candles flickered. And every flame bowed toward him. He tilted her chin with two fingers, eyes blacker than any confessional. “Kiss your new god, Alexia.” His mouth claimed hers, slow, filthy, final. A vow sealed in teeth and tongue, a taste of damnation. This wasn't marriage. This wasn't love. This was ownership. Alexia felt the chains beneath the altar rattle the moment his ring slid onto her finger. She hadn’t just walked out of the convent. She walked directly into the arms of the man who would drag her soul to hell… and make her thank him for it. "Smile for the devil, amore," he whispered against her bruised lips. "Because tonight, heaven burns." To evade the monster that woke beneath her chapel, Sister Alexia Draven agreed to bind herself to the one man more dangerous than sin itself: Luca Moretti, the mafia king who decided God's bride belonged on her knees for him. He wanted revenge against the Church that had cursed his bloodline centuries ago. She wanted absolution for the nights she danced masked and came for strangers while wearing a crucifix. But revenge and redemption don't share the same bed. —-------------------- When love is forged in blasphemy and sealed in blood, someone has to pay the price. The question is… Will it be her soul, his heart, or to the whole island of Sicily when the devil finally comes for his bride?

After a traumatic incident three years ago, Zara is ready for a fresh start. Moving abroad to Saint Monarch Academy, a prestigious boarding school in London, she hopes for a quiet, uneventful life — far from the shadows of her past and the memories that haunt her every step. But Saint Monarch is anything but quiet. From the moment she arrives, Zara is confronted with chaos: sprawling dorms that resemble mansions, unpredictable roommates, and students whose wealth and influence rule the campus. Among them are Juniper Harrington-King and Isa Windsor, two powerful figures in the school’s hierarchy, whose personalities clash with Zara’s desire for invisibility. And then there’s Saint, the notorious King of Campus, ironically nicknamed for being anything but saintly. When his attention turns to Zara, it’s relentless and unyielding — not because he needs her, but because she’s impossible to ignore. Thrust into the spotlight, Zara must navigate elite social circles, unexpected alliances, and a web of rivalries, all while trying to maintain her sense of self. As she struggles to reconcile her past with her present, Zara discovers that even at a school full of rules, influence, and appearances, nothing — and no one — is truly as they seem. In a place where popularity is power and peace is nearly impossible, Zara’s journey becomes one of self-discovery, resilience, and the challenge of staying true to herself while surviving the storm.
