Blue Dot Pale

In the high-stakes world of the elite, Seraphina Rossi is an invisible woman. The unacknowledged daughter of a billionaire dynasty, her acting career has been strangled by her own father, leaving her desperate to fund her comatose mother’s medical bills. But a night of terror at the exclusive Vault Club sends her fleeing into the one place she should never be: the penthouse of Czar Alexander Mordrake. Known as the "Shadow Sovereign," Czar is the most powerful man on three continents—and the most isolated. He lives in a sterile, golden cage, cursed by a lethal, unexplained "allergy" to women that makes even the slightest touch a death sentence. Until he wakes up next to Seraphina. When Czar survives their accidental encounter, the world-shattering discovery turns Seraphina from a fugitive into a biological miracle. Czar offers her a cold, calculated deal: he will settle her debts and save her mother if she becomes his "medical lab rat" and private assistant. As doctors scramble to find the secret in Seraphina's blood, a dangerous game of obsession and power begins. While the cold walls of the Mordrake estate begin to thaw between the lonely mogul and the resilient actress, a web of shadows is tightening around them. In a world where touch is a weapon and love is a lab result, Seraphina and Czar must decide if they are each other’s cure—or if the truth behind the Sovereign’s shadow will destroy them both before the first real touch can even happen.

"Skye, please," Jaxon's voice was desperate, but I couldn't bear to look at him after what I'd learned. "Listen to me first, baby." "What is there to explain?" My words were bitter. "Why keep it hidden until now?" He didn't respond. I let out a mixture of sobs and laughter. "See?" "Skye, please. My situation is difficult. Just give me a chance to explain. I have too much on my plate." I shook my head. "No, I don't need to hear your lies." "Is it that hard for you, Skye? I always listen to you." His words hit me. "Are you blaming me? Sorry, Jaxon. This setup is tiring. I waited for you, but you were not there when I needed you most. I tried to reach out, but you were too busy with things you didn't tell me. So, I was left alone like I was no one." I could see a mix of emotions in his eyes—emotions I couldn't fathom, emotions I saw for the first time since we started our relationship. "I'm sorry, Jaxon. I want to let go. I tried so hard, but I'm choosing myself this time. You stole the only friend I had!" As I opened the door, my heart broke. "Baby, please. Don't give up on me. I love you." "I can't feel it, Jax. I'm too drained. I'm sorry." I stepped outside the room. "And I hope not to see you again."

Damien se divorciou da ex-esposa há cinco anos e então se casou comigo. Quando nos casamos, ele tinha uma filha adotiva de treze anos chamada Lily. Depois do nosso casamento, Damien sempre me tratou excepcionalmente bem. Eu sempre tratei Lily como se fosse minha própria filha. Mesmo quando ela demonstrava certa hostilidade comigo de vez em quando, eu não me importava, isso é normal para uma adolescente. Até que meu pai foi atropelado em um acidente e ficou em estado vegetativo. Foi então que, por acaso, ouvi uma conversa entre Damien e seu assistente. — Chefe, eu não entendo. Por que bloquear a craniotomia? — o assistente perguntou, confuso. — Os médicos disseram que há uma grande chance de ele se recuperar. Por que o senhor insiste no tratamento conservador? — Ele não pode acordar — a voz de Damien saiu baixa, carregada de dor. — Ele viu o rosto da Lily. Tapei a boca com a mão, as unhas cravando na minha pele. Lily é filha adotiva de Damien e de sua falecida ex-esposa, Sarah. Sarah morreu salvando Damien, e desde então ele sempre tratou Lily com uma mistura de culpa e indulgência absoluta. Damien continuou, o tom cheio de conflito: — Mas a Lily não fez isso de propósito! Ela tem só treze anos... Se tiver uma ficha criminal, a vida dela estará acabada. O último desejo da Sarah, antes de morrer, foi que eu cuidasse da Lily e a visse crescer em segurança. Eu não posso desistir dela. O assistente ficou em silêncio por alguns segundos. — E quanto à sua esposa? — Eu vou compensá-la — a voz de Damien suavizou. — Vou dar a ela a vida mais próspera possível. Vou garantir a melhor suíte particular e os melhores cuidadores para o pai dela. Não importa quanto custe. Meu coração afundou por completo. Só porque você se sente culpado por Sarah e Lily, vai sacrificar o meu pai? Com as mãos tremendo, salvei a gravação e pedi ao meu advogado que preparasse os papéis do divórcio. Mas quando eu desapareci completamente da vida dele, o poderoso CEO enlouqueceu.

"I love fantasies. Impossible, only imaginable fantasies. The ones that would take me beyond and beyond my monotonous life. To other worlds. But this, isn't going to end well," I was saying to myself while lying down with closed eyes and recurring thoughts, starring at the bluest skies and the brightest stars. This city leaves me gawking at its beauty and at the same time allures me to its darkest mysteries. As I was running to find the only thing that could push me out of this fantastical realm, the clustered thoughts in my mind hits me hard everyday, leaving me sleepless and clueless. "You were at that place at that time. It may or may not be desirable. Fate, maybe. But, it's you," the familiar woman's voice kept repeating inside my head. "Begin with what you know and dig the unknown," the man I loved the most said, leaving me chase the knowns inside my scrambled mind. I was going after every single possible hint to take myself away from the life I've always wished to live. "I don't want this. Not for me. Not for my family," I falsely admit to myself, still secretly enjoying every moment of it. She, Idaliah Bristor seems to have a flamboyant life which takes a mysterious turn when she enters the unmapped city of BcHaven. Let's walk and roll with her as she says, "Whatever it may take, I'm giving it a go". Etymology: GEMICIDE - • Gem- The Gem Team • cide - Killing/Sacrificing 'Gemicide', the term I coined means that the Gem Girls without any hesitation is ready to sacrifice themselves or get killed to save their city.

"Huh? Innocent and pure male god?" Albrey Hamilton's cold thin lips brushed Oakley's cheeks gently, his hand gripping the person's pale and smooth chin. "Very funny, isn't it?" Albrey Hamilton's hand ruffled Oakley’s hair, tousling it. "Aren't you just a plaything?" Albrey Hamilton sneered coldly and domineeringly captured the lips of the person beneath him. Immediately, Albrey pinned down the person's waist and thrust into the person fiercely creating a loud papapa noise that resounded in the low-key luxurious room Oakley's eyes and face reddened which wasn't known if it was due to pleasure, fury or embarrassment. Oakley's eyes pooled with tears that slipped past his cheeks rapidly yet he only bit his lower lip, a stubborn and defying expression on his face. He refused to part his lips, speak or acknowledge the cruel words of the person hovering over him. "Naive." Albrey's thin lips curved in a cynical disparage. "How do you think your fans will react when they discover their pure idol sold his body to me to become famous?" Albrey sneered coldly, his eyes darkening with coldness at Oakley's silence. Oakley stiffened after hearing the ridiculing word that emitted from Albrey's lips.
