WHEN MERCY KILLS

Ava Caldwell is drowning in the helplessness of hospice care. After six years of watching terminal patients beg for relief she can't provide, she's hollowed out, isolated, and questioning if her work even matters. Then she meets Elliot Cross at a conference, a data analyst who's built an algorithm predicting which patients will suffer most. For the first time in years, someone understands the weight she carries. As their relationship deepens, Ava finds herself sharing intimate details about her most difficult patients. When those same patients begin dying peacefully, she's grateful. Until the pattern becomes undeniable: Elliot is killing them. Confronted with the truth, Ava learns she's already complicit in 15 deaths. Her patient information, her conversations, her trust, all used to select victims. Elliot doesn't deny it. He believes he's providing mercy, ending suffering the medical system prolongs. And he shows Ava the grateful families, the peaceful deaths, the relief. Ava knows she should go to the police. Instead, she makes a choice that will haunt her forever: she continues helping him, consciously selecting 31 more patients. But when her best friend Rachel discovers the truth and a homicide detective starts investigating, Ava's world collapses. Fleeing to Costa Rica with Elliot and his dangerous partner Jonas, she discovers the operation is bigger than she imagined, and that one of their "mercy killings" was a catastrophic mistake. A 31-year-old woman who wasn't even terminal, killed because of an algorithm error. Now Ava must decide: remain complicit in Elliot's expanding network, or betray the man she loves and face justice for 46 murders.

Death at my door

Have you ever wondered what happens during death—or what lingers after it? I have. I saw it. I endured it. And it is a story I wish I could forget. Ann Jones lived an ordinary life, indistinguishable from millions of others, until the cruel hand of fate closed around her and shattered everything she knew. What followed was not a single death, but many—each one different, each one more horrific than the last. There are countless ways to die. Accidents, poison, drowning etc. Now imagine one person forced to experience all of them. Ann is trapped in a living hell no human should ever know. Every death strips away another piece of her sanity. Every rebirth drags her back into suffering she cannot escape. With each return, her hope erodes, replaced by a single desperate wish: for life to finally end. To Ann, she wonders what can end her suffering But when she is forced to relive the torment yet again, she begins to question the purpose behind her suffering. Why her? Why this endless cycle? And what unseen force stands at the door between life, death, and rebirth? “No… I don’t want rebirth,” Ann sobbed, clutching her head as her thoughts unraveled. “I just want it to be over. Once and for all. Why me? Why me?” As her sanity fractures, Ann must confront a terrifying truth: Rebirth is not a gift. It is the cruelest form of torture. Rebirth is good when you're able to change what pain you felt before but when rebirth increases the pain what's the point. And if she cannot change what happens at the door of death, she may never truly escape it. Genre: Thriller / MysteryTone: Dark, haunting, yet threaded with fragile hopeCore Themes: Survival, human experimentation, the meaning of death, the cost of rebirth

Mafia's Unexpected Bride

I am 20 year Old an ordinary girl who never dreamed of becoming part of a mafia world; my life was simple, quiet, built on hard work and silent endurance, because I learned early that not every tear deserves to be seen. I never imagined fate would place me before a man whose name is spoken with fear, a ruthless mafia king with merciless eyes, bloodstained hands, and a heart that knows only command and punishment, where people either survive by his will or perish by it. Becoming his wife was never my choice but a compulsion, a deal that brought me into his fortress-like mansion for one reason alone his six-month-old daughter, a motherless, innocent soul who needed care. He made it clear from the beginning that I was a wife only in name, brought into his life solely to raise his child, with no claim over his world, his decisions, or his heart. Yet when that little girl wrapped her tiny fingers around mine, trusting me without fear, my resolve shattered, and she slowly became my entire world my strength in her smile, my weakness in her cries. Through her, I began to see another side of the man everyone feared: a father who went silent before his child, whose hands that had spilled blood trembled when holding her. Caught between his rage, his silence, and his dark secrets, I was no longer just an observer, and every time his daughter called me “mother,” something flickered in his eyes. I know this path is dangerous, that the man I married does not believe in love and sees relationships as mere necessities, yet the heart is stubborn, slowly carving cracks into his stone-cold soul. This story does not begin with love, but with fear, compulsion, and captivity and perhaps, somewhere in this darkness, destiny has left a trace of light, even if I do not yet know whether my end with this mafia king will be life, death, or love.

"This....!", Shocked and also excited at what he saw detective Swarie quickly masked his emotions carefully and said in a somber tone to no one in particular. "About time we got a lead don't you think?" He took up his coat with completely careful movements making sure not to show the nervous shake of his hand and turned to his team.

"Ha ha ha ha.....they are in for a real turn around this time, I have to stop by with a gift for dinner."

Alpha's Sacrificial Human Bride

Princess Liora Ashenbane has always been invisible—the forgotten middle child of Valeria's royal family, overlooked and underestimated. Her quiet life shatters when she wakes up in a golden cage, eight hundred miles from home, with no memory of how she got there. She's been sold. Drugged by her own family and delivered to Alpha King Thessian Nightfang as part of a treaty between humans and werewolves. But this is no political marriage—it's a death sentence. Three months ago, Thessian's mate and Luna, Aria, was murdered in a brutal attack on a werewolf settlement. Fifty-three of his people were slaughtered, including women and children. Security footage shows the massacre was led by someone with Liora's face. Her own father provided the evidence and signed her over as payment for the crime. Thessian doesn't want a bride. He wants vengeance. And he has three weeks until the full moon to break her, torture her, and make her pay for every drop of blood spilled. But Liora knows the truth—she's innocent. She's never left the palace, never held a weapon, never killed anyone. Someone with her face committed those murders, and she has three weeks to prove it before Thessian rips her throat out. Trapped in enemy territory with no allies, no power, and a pack of werewolves who want her dead, Liora must transform from a sheltered princess into a survivor. She must uncover who really killed Aria Nightfang, expose the conspiracy that framed her, and somehow convince the Alpha King who hates her that she's not his enemy. But as she fights for her life and digs deeper into the truth, Liora discovers that the attack on Thessian's pack is part of something far more sinister—a plot that threatens both humans and werewolves alike. And the only person who can help her stop it is the same man who's sworn to kill her. In a world where trust is a luxury and every moment could be her last, Liora must find strength she never knew she had. Because survival isn't enough—she needs to uncover the truth, clear her name, and maybe, just maybe, heal the broken heart of the Alpha King who sees her as his enemy. But first, she has to survive the torture. The pain. The hatred. And three weeks of hell in a golden cage. Weak to strong. Enemies to lovers. A princess who must become a warrior. An Alpha King consumed by grief and rage. And a truth that could destroy them both—or save two worlds from war.
