Novel & Cerita This Present Darkness Ebook

The man who has snatched the light from my life, it feels like he is here or maybe I am so paranoid that my mind creates an illusion. He always makes me feel that he is not present but I know he is present in the darkness of the house. He owns it, darkness is his slave and he conquers everything with it. I entered the room and quickly switched on the lights. I can hear my own heartbeats as I gulped in fear and my hands started shaking making the water in my bottle tremble with the movements. Never in my life have I thought that I'll be this terrified to enter my own room. It feels tragic.

"Do you know what this book’s about?" I glanced at the title again, pretending to think. "A family, right? Something about poverty and resilience?" She nodded, seeming a bit surprised though she had found the book in the beach house, probably assuming I've never read it. "It’s about overcoming tough beginnings and finding beauty in broken places. It’s sad but also hopeful." Her voice softened and she looked thoughtful.

I curled into myself on my side of bed, my fingers fluttering over my stomach. After the dark, comes the light. Fabiano could do anything he wanted but I wouldn’t let him snatch my light away this time. I won’t let him spread his darkness in my light. After the dark, comes the light. ***

Moonlight rested on the walls, and the stones answered in a faint, steady pulse. Like a heart that knows—it lives. ⸻ “For a long time, I thought darkness had to be destroyed, or it would consume everything I love. But now I know: darkness is not an enemy, only a space in which light must find its place. It is not battle that sustains us, but learning to breathe within it—without losing ourselves. Because the light that does not fear the dark—that is what truly remains alive.” — Nyra, Daughter of the Moon

BENEATH THE FACADE Behind the façade of wealth and power, a web of secrets awaits. Chapter 34 Ethan’s POV: There was no light. No sun. No lamp. Not even the soft glow of a dream. Just darkness. Thick. Heavy. Endless. And yet... I was still here. Somewhere. Somehow.

The presence of the stars, the presence of the aurora, the presence of the snow reflecting what little light there was. The darkness held things. The light was what revealed them." He closed the book. "That is the same writer as the essays," Ernest said. "Yes. She has a consistent way of thinking about the dark. Not as lacking. As a presence."

“This is what it wants. The Incorruptible Heart will be broken, her love lost, her resolve broken, she will be weak. Once this is done it will rise and claim the world as its own.” “What the hell is this thing?” she whispered. “Hell?” the man queried. “The Darkness isn’t defined by human beings, or the many faiths of this planet. It simply is. And anything that has happened right up to the point where you leapt from the boat and into its embrace is due to its designs on you, and what you represent.” Before Beatrice could question him, an image danced before her eyes, she was back on the boat, charging down Emily, the recollection made her voice hitch with horror. Then she was back there, liv

He stood still looking at her, he flabbergasted, thinking she should be in the lab, trying to control her shift but here she was laughing like nothing was happening to her. "Eddie, is everything alright? " Ella's voice brought him back to reality. "Huh, yes I'm fine," he said looking at Mrs Smith who acted as if nothing was wrong. Darkness, the absence of light.
