In The Dark Jin Shi Si Chai Novels & Stories

The dark corner was pitch black without a glimmer of light or moonlight. Zoey caught the faint smell of alcohol. Her palms against the man's chest felt solid to the touch. The fabric of the man's suit was of the highest quality because it was soft and comfortable. She was night-blind, so she couldn't see anything in the dark. Going by her gut and the familiar scent, she fell silent for a bit before whispering, "Laurence?" Like a stone thrown into the sea, her cries went unanswered. She was afraid of the dark. As time passed, the fear took her, and her lashes fluttered.

Caspian asked as he tried to loosen his tie. That’s Caspian for you—playing chess to relieve stress. Anytime my brothers gathered at his place, Thane kept to himself, observing. Marco, Liam, and Hans couldn’t beat him, and I always got close but never won. The chessboard sat quietly between us, pieces strategically positioned for the final showdown. Caspian drank from his glass, set it down, and moved his knight confidently. I knew he had something in mind, but I wasn’t giving up without a fight. I countered with a calculated pawn move.

She saw a flick of movement on the terrace—the glowing amber tip of a cigar. Jin was standing there, his back to her, having changed into a simple black t-shirt that stretched across his broad shoulders. He held a glass of dark amber liquid in one hand. He looked older than twenty-five in the moonlight, his face etched with a weariness that went beyond physical exhaustion. Raya hesitated, her bare feet silent on the marble. She knew she should go back to her room. She knew she should sleep. But as Jin turned around, his eyes locking onto hers with that same hypnotic pull, Raya felt the air leave her lungs.

Now that she was right in front of him, that visceral hatred surged back, and even his current girlfriend was an afterthought. "But I'm afraid of the dark," the woman whimpered. "Can't you come with me?" Jin Chen, usually the pinnacle of gentleness and patience with women, turned a cold, indifferent gaze toward her. "I said, get out." The woman’s eyes welled with tears. "Don't be angry... I'm going." The King of the Track Once she was out, Jin Chen positioned his car directly in front of Chloe’s. Through the windshields, his eyes remained locked on hers, and he punctuated his presence with another ear-splitting roar of the engine.

Up out of the dark, and into the dangerous, open freedom of the sea. End of Chapter 17

The jinn and Malik seemed trapped by the church. In that cramped room inside Dima's apartment—where the faint scent of a woman mingled with the smoke of old cigarettes—the night was heavy, shrouded in a stifling darkness, pierced only by a pale strand of light filtering through a tattered curtain.

Because he is patient He is kind He does not envy He is... VIƬƬӨЯIӨ ƧƬΛПZӨᄂIӨ Past- July 22nd, 2032 Johnny, Jessie, and I all entered The Blazing Lights. The Blazing Lights is one of the biggest clubs there is on the earth. So, it was going to be more fun than all the other times we went out clubbing. The first thing I see once entering the club is the sweating bodies dancing to loud, bass-filled music. The bright, blinding, strobe lights illuminate the otherwise pitch-black club. I guess that’s why they call it The Blazing Lights.

I found him in the attic sitting on one of the seats that the room provided. I sank into the seat next to his and relaxed in it. The attic had glass walls, the lights were off. The moon lit up the room dimly but it was enough for now. He turned when I sat next to him and looked at me with intense eyes. He looked at me like a blind man seeing the sun for the first time, like I was a reward handed to him on a silver platter.

When I enter, I quietly close the door behind me and fish for the lock in the darkness, my hands shaking so much I almost give up and cry. Once I've finally locked myself in the dark room that I have no idea of what it's purpose is, I run my hands over the wall and find the light switch. All the lights flicker to life in an instant and a rather large movie room is revealed. Even with all the perfectly laid out blankets, comfy-looking chairs, a gigantic movie screen and a snack bar, the first thing I notice is the 'emergency exit' sign and it's bright red lighting.
