Stone Cold Novels & Stories

"Not until you understand that the man who rejected you seven years ago doesn't exist anymore. And not until you give me the chance to prove it." As Raven turned to walk away, her phone buzzed with a message from an unknown number. A video file, timestamp showing it was taken that morning. When she opened it with trembling hands, she watched footage of herself in her apartment—sleeping, unaware, completely vulnerable. Multiple camera angles. Professional equipment. The video's final frame showed a message in white text: "Come to the Cascade Mountains. Come alone. Or I'll burn every connection you've ever made. —D"

“I’ve got this,” Charlotte whispered to her reflection, tilting her chin slightly. “I’ve done this before. I can do it again.” Her fingers traced the edge of her blouse as she repeated the words, letting them settle into her chest like armor. She had gone through four interviews this past week, each leaving her hopeful but unanswered. No call backs yet. But hope, stubborn as ever, refused to die.

Derek Stygian’s stripper's club was bathed in a deep red light. The kind that makes everything look darker than it really was. Shadows moved along the walls as slow music played through hidden speakers, the bass low and steady like a heartbeat. The air felt hot with sin, heavy with smokes of their cigarettes, filled with sweat of the male strippers and the tables were filled with expensive alcohol. Not everyone in the city was allowed into Stygian's secret cult. Only those who are ready to sell their soul for discretion are allowed in.

Stanley said, "My people looked into it. Mr. Stone's appearances in Silverton have been brief and infrequent. There was one verified sighting in Northspire, where he helped establish that group's territory. That alone rules out Oscar as Mr. Stone himself. "As for Mr. Stone's true identity, I think a conversation with Frank of Northspire would answer that question. He's running things up there now, isn't he? He would know." The sisters accepted the explanation without hesitation. Carla spoke. "Speaking of which, Stanley, Mr. Stone also appears to have ties to Draconia. There's a girl from the slum district who apparently has his backing, and somehow she ended up becoming Draconia's CEO." Amar

Frank's reply was simple and determined. Naturally, Sif could see that nearby. "Yes, sir!" Trevor had no reason to refuse, seeing how determined Frank was. In fact, he would bankrupt himself buying that rock just because Frank said so! Meanwhile, Jenny was smiling as she introduced, "My father's friend happened to find this milk-white stalactite while exploring a cave. It's a rare thousand-year-old stone, though we've never looked inside. The starting bid is ten million, and subsequent bids must be over a million."

It made his next decision harder to evade. Karl turned back to the Stone. The cold under his palm had become a steady pulse. He placed his hand against it again, this time with the whole courtyard watching and no secrecy left to hide inside. Light ran through the Stone. It did not strike him like a weapon or crown him with a voice. It warmed the heel of his hand and moved outward, patient as a record being opened. Karl kept his breath even. Whatever the Stone recognized, he would not name it before the pack had seen it for themselves.

I mutter the last part. "No painkillers, just booze," Stone says back to me. He pulls out his keys and unlocks the boarded up house. I'm surprised to find that the inside isn't dirty at all like I expected it to be. The house is empty, save for the brown stained couch in the middle of the room. A red cooler sits next to it, along with a boombox stereo and a small table that wobbles. Pushed against the far wall is a TV and dresser. A video game console and remote controllers for it are on top of a cardboard box.

She remembered reading countless magazine issues about him, including recently on ‘Forbes’ where he made the list of “Richest Worldwide Billionaires Under The Age Of 30.” He was nicknamed the Stone-Hearted CEO of The Woods Corporation because of his cold and ruthless demeanor. Despite his nasty attitude, he remained the most loved and desired bachelor in the city. However, he remained single and uninterested in women through the years. They said he sometimes sent women to jail for stalking or barely standing too close to him. ‘Wait! They also said something like, ‘he can't touch women, and he was impotent,’ Kourtney recalled, and her eyes widened in shock. She instantly remembered that they

He smirked She began working on him and for the first time, she saw him close his eyes with his mouth wide open in pleasure. "Do you like that?" He grabbed her and pinned her inserting himself into her. "Do you like this?!" he groaned. "Zaylee how are you?" a voice rang from the other end of the call. "Am okay Jazz" "Did it work out?" "Ye, but I don't think..." "Stop Zaylee" jazz yelled "I don't appreciate your negativity" "It's just that...." "No matter how tough he seems to be he will meltdown just a little longer you will have him fully"

She needed proof, irrefutable evidence that could bring Harding crashing down. She crept along the hull of the yacht, her fingers searching for a vantage point, a crack in the facade. She found a small opening near a porthole, just large enough to peek through. Okay, I can definitely help you continue Chapter 37 of "Heart of Stone."
