Manacled Hard Copy

In an East London lock up, two film makers, Jimmy and Sam, are duct taped to chairs and forced to watch a snuff film by Ashkan, a loan shark to whom they owe a lot of money. If they don’t pay up, they’ll be starring in the next one. Before the film reaches its end, Ashkan and all his men are slaughtered by unknown assailants. Only Jimmy and Sam survive the massacre, leaving them with the sole copy of the snuff film. The film makers decide to build their next movie around the brutal film. While auditioning actors, they stumble upon Melissa, an enigmatic actress who seems perfect for the leading role, not least because she’s the spitting image of the snuff film’s main victim. Neither the film, nor Melissa, are entirely what they seem however. Jimmy and Sam find themselves pulled into a paranormal mystery that leads them through the shadowy streets of the city beneath the city and sees them re-enacting an ancient Mesopotamian myth cycle. As they play out the roles of long forgotten gods and goddesses, they’re drawn into the subtle web of a deadly heresy that stretches from the beginnings of civilization to the end of the world as we know it. ©️ Crystal Lake Publishing

I'd spent an entire year preparing for my son Tristan Pascall's spot at a top international school. By the final admissions review, I had every single document ready. All that was missing was the original copy of Richard Pascall and my marriage certificate. Once we handed that in, it would be official. But when we got to the admissions office, Richard turned on me, accusing me of arranging this without telling him. Before I could clap back, the admin frowned and said, "Ma'am, according to the system, Mr. Pascall's spouse isn't you." My whole body went cold. And then Iris Poole—who had been standing behind Richard this whole time—stepped up and slid her marriage certificate across the counter. The staff checked it, nodded, and said, "Mr. Pascall, Ms. Poole, your registration date is June, four years ago. Everything looks fine. You may proceed." June, four years ago. That was the exact month Richard held my hand in front of all our friends and family at our engagement party and promised I was his one true love. He had lied to me about that for the past seven years.

I became the ultimate simp for Shannon Seay, the school's notorious flirt, and everyone assumed I was head over heels for her. When she skipped classes to pick fights or chase thrills, I'd copy notes and homework for her. When she tangled in ambiguous flings with other guys, I'd provide alibis to cover her tracks. For three grueling years, I poured my heart and soul into transforming her into an academic star, securing her spot at a top university. But right before orientation, she dumped me. Towering over me, she declared, "I know you've had a crush on me forever, but you're all books and no spark. Compared to Hunter, you're too rigid. We're done. I'm with him now." The crowd held its breath, anticipating my meltdown. I peeked at my phone, confirming a $50-million transfer, and replied with genuine nonchalance, "Alright, congrats." No one knew my unwavering devotion was purely because her father had paid handsomely for it. Now that the pay had been secured, it was time for me to vanish.

Ethan Hawke spend three years of being a worker to the Rider family and was treated as a slave by the mother and children and was seen as nothing more than a servant who does nothing to earn his keep, being insulted and look down on constantly by them.

Then she got slapped in the face by a shocking life-changing moment when she was betrayed by her father and everyone else in her life that she trusted. A mess-up twist of fate blended Ethan and Nina through an arranged marriage, and all hell broke loose for those that had hurt and looked down upon them...

Hanggang sa lumitaw ang katotohanang kay tagal nang itinatago—at may isang pangalan na hindi dapat banggitin sa isla. Sa Euphoria, lahat may presyo. At ang ilang halik… may kapalit na buhay.

Scarlett and Alex meet on the first day of school in Pennsylvania. Scarlett notices his attractiveness, but also his aloofness. Alex seems to avoid her, yet he can't help but protect her when she gets into trouble with supernatural creatures. Upon discovering that Alex is part of a wolf pack, Scarlett begins to distrust him, sensing that he's hiding something important related to the book she inherited from her parents. However, their encounters become inevitable, especially after Alex saves Scarlett from an attack by Zafira, the gorgon. The tension between them grows, and although they both feel a connection, neither is willing to admit it at first. After several moments of closeness, Alex is forced to reveal to Scarlett that his pack is tasked with protecting the knowledge she possesses through the book. This puts him in a difficult position, as being close to Scarlett exposes him to rejection from his own pack. In a moment of vulnerability, when Alex confronts Ethan and returns wounded, Scarlett nurses him back to health. This leads to their first kiss, filled with intensity and pent-up feelings. However, Scarlett senses that something isn't right, fearing the consequences of a romance with a werewolf. ⚠️ Do not copy; I hold all copyrights. 🙏 This book is my original work, thank you 💜
