The closer we got the more I could feel the darkness seeping from the book. 'That's the shadow book. Our contracts can be found in that book. They can be made and broken through that book. Make sure no one ever finds it here. They'll want to take it.' Shade informed me. I stepped closer, really curious now. I laid my hand over the glass, peering down at the book and reading the Latin words umbra. The book opened beneath the glass when I spoke the word. It flipped to a page with Shade's name on it. There was a tiny baby handprint in blood…my blood, my baby hand.

He seemed to know how to order people around really well. Sharon took the book that he handed her and glanced at it. It was a financial book. The corner of her eyes twitched. “Are you sure you can fall asleep if you listen to this?” “I can fall asleep as long as you’re here with me,” he told her with a serious expression. Sharon was speechless. She suspected that he was trying to pursue her. She cleared her throat, opened the book, and began to read. Usually, she would not even touch a book like this. It was too difficult for her to understand anything.

he took a deep breath and said, "but I have come up with an offer for you and I hope you consider it." Xasha took out a leather-covered book from his storage pack. The title was, 'basic Magic compression vol. 1.' "While the magic compression technique is still in its infancy, I've made some breakthroughs in the past three years since I first developed it. I now have enough knowledge to fill this book." The king took the book in hand, he opened it and started flipping through pages, "amazing," was all he would comment under his breath from time to time. He closed the book as he looked up and Xasha.

"I got the book!" Shayla tried and failed to hide the colossal smile that lit up her features. "At least open the book first, Cameron." I flipped the book over in my hands, and that's when I noticed it — a bulge in between the pages. When I opened the book, it fell open naturally to the bulging thing stuffed in between the pages, and when I saw what it was — my mouth fell open. All the tensions and anxiety of this past week melted away to give in space for pure joy and giddiness.

Theo didn’t flinch. “That’s why I’m here. You were never meant to figure this out alone.” I opened the book with trembling hands. And I didn’t say a word when the pages glowed faintly under my fingertips. They pulsed like a heartbeat—soft and rhythmic—then flared, a sudden shimmer of light washing over my skin. My breath hitched. The room faded around me. The voices—Kylan’s, Theo’s—fell away like whispers behind glass.

I forced myself to keep reading, my pulse loud enough to drown out the quiet hum of the coffee shop around me. The next line waited beneath the first, short, urgent, impossible to misread. *Whatever you do, do not trust the man you married.*

He slid the book across the desk toward me. “Read.” I glanced down. The title was unfamiliar. But the image on the cover made my throat dry. A woman on her knees, blindfolded, arms behind her back. Submission. Captivity. Pleasure. “I—what is this?” “A test.” I hesitated, then opened the book. I started reading. It was graphic from the start. No gentle build-up. Just hot skin, whispered commands, legs spread, lips parted, wet tongues, whimpers, begging. The words tasted strange in my mouth. Heavy. Vulgar. But I read them anyway.

The older lady patted her shoulder lightly while returning the smile then headed back to her business leaving Amy behind. "Where do I start from?" Confused Amelia whispered. "What kind of Christian books would be less boring?" She exhaled deeply while her fingers traced through the books on the shelf. “‘Ahaha!” exclaimed confused Amy as she picked out a book from the shelf. “What could this be about?” wondered Amy while she read the synopsis of the book in her hand. She read out in an undertone, “Filled with faith and inspiration, Break Out will challenge you to build a new prespective, let nothing hold you back…” Nodding her head in concurrence to the words she read, “ hmmmmm….

A photo was displayed on the top of the shelf. Carlene’s expression appeared extremely sorrowful. She stopped midway into the study room and took a deep breath. Then, she stretched out a hand to the bookshelf and a square hole suddenly appeared on the wall as if she had just pulled some sort of mechanism. Inside the hole sat a book. It was a wordless book—not a single word written in it. However, Carlene rifled through it gently as if she could read it. Soon after, she stopped at a page and brought over a glass of water that she splashed onto the page. Two names slowly appeared on the page after it was wet.
