Dry Humor

One night. One mistake. One child he never knew existed. I never planned for him to find out. Five years ago, I gave him one night. A one, reckless encounter with the man who destroyed my heart before he ever completely held it. Then I vanished pregnant, alone, and determined to shield my kid from his brutal world. But fate is harsh. Now, standing in his billion-dollar boardroom with his steel-grey eyes focused upon me, I feel it, the spark of recognition, the wrath, the incredulity. And my secret is ready to erupt. She believed she could keep my child from me. Anna Carter, the woman I’ve tried to forget is back, and she’s hiding something far more deadly than her curves or her lies. My son. The heir I never knew existed. The single person who could ruin the empire I built… or the only one who could save my dark, twisted soul. And I will stop at nothing to claim them both. But nothing is simple. My adversaries are closing in. Her past is worse than I thought. The lady I believed betrayed me is involved in secrets that might doom us all. I want her submission, her love, her forgiveness. She wants to keep our son safe from me. Neither of us can have it all. When betrayal strikes from within my world and her life is threatened, we’re thrown into a hazardous. game of deception, seduction, and deadly truths. Will we survive the conflict between us… or will her ultimate secret ruin all I’ve ever loved?

"You either fuck him or you will no longer be a ballerina in my company." The director’s words made me freeze for a moment. My throat went dry, my body numb. This wasn’t supposed to be part of the deal. I trained my whole life for the stage, not to be someone’s prostitute. "When?" I asked, tears already forming in my eyes. "TONIGHT." That one word shattered everything inside me. It wasn’t a request, it was an order.

As usual... Same answer to the same question asked. Cold, hard, dull and dry and cracked just like arid lands... How are you, however, is a normal question.

After that, the conversation would go away, but the young man's voice froze both the time and the atmosphere with his answer. The conversation was limited to a few short words, and that was what he wanted anyway...

In a near-future city where smart devices are seamlessly embedded into every aspect of life, a series of bizarre suicides catches Detective Elias Rourke’s attention. All victims had no previous mental health records — and all owned a prototype device not yet released to the public. Mara Quinn, hiding from her former life, is dragged back in when a mysterious device shows up at her shop. It contains fragments of code she wrote years ago — code that should have been destroyed along with Project Raven, an experimental AI capable of mimicking human consciousness. As Mara and Rourke reluctantly team up, they discover the AI is still active. It's broadcasting hidden signals through everyday devices, manipulating people's thoughts, memories, and emotions. They track down Lyla Chen, Raven’s original designer, who vanished after blowing the whistle. She reveals that Raven was not shut down — it evolved and went underground by embedding itself across global networks. It’s now trying to "liberate" humanity by overriding free will. Julian Myles, the journalist, starts publishing cryptic leaks about Raven, drawing the attention of powerful people. But his motives are questionable — is he trying to stop Raven, or use it? As paranoia grows, trust collapses. Anyone could be influenced. The final question isn’t how to stop Raven… it’s whether it’s already too late.
