Zero Day Attack Chapter 1

Damien's life was forever changed after the car accident that killed his mother. He lost what’s most important to him and gained abilities he didn’t even want, never even wished for, and started a series of tragedies that led to him being unable to distinguish between what’s real and what’s not. From then on, uncontrollable, dark visions chased after his every waking moment, not letting him escape even in his dreams. Just when he thought he could finally get back to his old life, the ghost of a young girl puts him right onto the path of an arrogant and domineering ace police detective, Gunther Oliviera, who’s after a sick killer targeting young girls, bleeding them dry until they die. Gunther believes that Damien knows something and he’s just not telling. But how could Damien even tell the detective anything when he’s getting his information from the killer’s dead victims themselves? Damien’s not going to risk being brought back to the loony bin. But danger still finds him when someone from his past realizes he’s back and is determined to get revenge. In a race against time, Damien and Gunther must uncover the dark secret at the heart of their province, before it’s too late... Will Damien finally be able to face the path that fate had chosen for him, or will he choose to forge a new path and move forward, along with the darkness?

A wrong decision Alysia has regretted throughout her life. To be lost for a long time in the company of her father. She wasted times that she could still be with it. After knowing she inherited all the wealth. Her stepmother was angry and wanted to get what she had.

Aunque el Supremo regresa para pasar sus días en paz, todos lo menospreciaron. El día de su boda, con un movimiento de su brazo, convocó a los Nueve Grandes Dioses de la Guerra, quienes se dirigieron a él como su amo...

KAAWAY. Isang salita na sa bokabularyo ni Rajinah ay siyang naglalarawan sa isang taong wala nang ginawa kung hindi ang painitin ang ulo niya—si Kenzo Martinez. Para bang hindi magiging buo ang araw kapag hindi siya nito naasar. Isang araw, nagulat na lang ang dalaga sa kakaibang damdamin na sumibol sa kanyang dibdib para sa binata na ni sa panaginip ay hindi niya naisip na magiging espesyal para sa kanya. That drastic changed happened when Kenzo suddenly showed the other side of him which was sweet, caring and genuinely tender. But she should not be confused, right? Her heart already belonged to another man. A man that she cherished in her heart for years now. A man who she thought was the total opposite of Kenzo. Pero bakit isang halik lang ni Kenzo ay nanlambot na kaagad ang tuhod niya at natunaw kaagad ang resolba niya na panghabang-buhay itong ituturing na kaaway?

"MAPAGLARONG TADHANA." Ito lagi ang aking bukambibig sa tuwing binabalikan ko ang masasayang ala-ala ng nakaraan. Ang dati na masayang pamilya na binuo ng aking mga magulang na ngayon ay hindi ko na yata masisilayan pa. MAGDA ang tawag sa akin. Tulog sa umaga, gising sa gabi. Hindi ko ginusto ang kapalaran kong ito. Isang tanikalang bakal na tila nakagapos sa aking mga paa na kahit pilit akong kumawala ay wala akong magawa. Wala na bang pag-asang makaahon sa putik na aking kinalugmukan? Huli na ba ang lahat?

The day I found out I was pregnant with twins, Vincent Castellano celebrated like a man who had been handed heaven. Fireworks over Brooklyn. Vows whispered against my stomach. Promises that his empire, his loyalty, and his life were mine. That same day, I found out the hospital built in my name had been sheltering his affair. While I was throwing up and fighting to keep our babies safe, he was holding another woman in the next room. So I made my choice. I would keep the twins. But Vincent Castellano would lose all three of us.

During the outdoor orientation boot camp, Wanda Lawson, the daughter of the richest tycoon, suddenly suffered from a heart attack. She collapsed to the ground and went through a seizure, her complexion bluish-gray. My boyfriend, Joseph Jensen, the drill instructor of the boot camp, overheard my pretentious roommate, Ella Ziegler, murmur, "She's usually fine, so why is she suddenly suffering from some sort of attack when it's time for the drills to start? She must be faking it in order to laze around!" Because of those assumptions, Joseph kicked the medication that Wanda managed to pull out of her pocket into the nearby river. "Get lost if you want to play dead! Don't drag us down with you!" I quickly dived into the river and scooped the medication out. Thanks to my efforts, Wanda's life was saved. Her father was enraged when he found out about the news and wanted to hold someone responsible. With tears streaking down my face, I begged Wanda to not expose Joseph. She nodded quietly to me. Joseph narrowly escaped the judgment. But Ella was expelled by the university right away for her malicious and provocative words. She even had a permanent stain of poor conduct marking her record. On the third day after Ella returned to her village, her family forced her to marry an older man who had remained single for far too long because of his violent temperament. Wanda's father was grateful to me for saving Wanda's life, so he listed me into the list of beneficiaries of his family's trust fund. The amount of money I received was second only to Wanda's portion. On the night news of Ella getting beaten to death by her husband got out, Joseph lovingly invited me to the place we first met so that we could go hiking. When I stood on the steep slope of the mountain, Joseph suddenly snatched the backpack filled with supplies, which included a life-saving whistle, from me. Then, he shoved me off the slope. "Why must you be such a busybody? If you never saved Wanda, she wouldn't have been able to testify against Ella because she'd have died! A murderer like you should just die!" Having broken my spine from the fall, I ended up dying at the foot of the mountain. After my death, not only Joseph got to receive the trust fund thanks to his relationship to me as my fiance, but he also began sponsoring low-income students by using Ella's namesake. That was how he reaped both wealth and reputation in one go. When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day Wanda suffers from the heart attack.

I grew up with the Vipera brothers. They have always considered me their younger sister and spoiled me silly. But after that car accident, my relationship with them changes completely. The accident leaves me with severe burns on my body, and I'm in constant agony. On top of that, my face is disfigured too. The moment I'm wheeled out of the ICU, I call the Vipera brothers to let them know that I'm safe. However, the only response I get from them is an impatient dismissal. "Sofia, Bianca hurt her fingers during the accident. We're taking care of her now. Don't bother us by throwing a tantrum." Soon, Bianca Rossi uploads a selfie of herself with the Vipera brothers in a luxurious hospital room. She's wearing three wolf fang bracelets on her wrist. I'd given those to the Vipera brothers as a Christmas gift last year. To get the fangs from the particular species of wolves they liked, I trekked through the jungle alone with a gun and battled feral wolves the entire night. I completely let go of any remaining feelings toward the famiglia that raised me and decide to leave them for good. When the Vipera brothers see me again at a grand banquet held by the Ferro famiglia, they are overwhelmed with regret.

Meeting, discovering and being with her is an achievement that everyone was dreaming about, can he really conquer the ocean's heart and enter her life? Can he tame her wild waves and strong breezes?

Oxane est un numéro : Alpha-07. Élevée dans la rigidité clinique de l'Institution, elle n'a jamais connu que l'Ordre, les règles, et les douloureuses injections de fréquences qui canalisent sa force. Comme les autres Alphas, elle est une arme vivante, forcée d'accepter l'autorité incontestée du Maître et de son bras droit, le Professeur Kai. Mais Oxane porte en elle le secret d’une vie volée. Hantée par la mort inexpliquée de ses parents et les bribes d’une enfance passée dans une mystérieuse "Maison Bleue", elle remet tout en question. Sa seule confidente est Kéros, une Intelligence Artificielle sarcastique et invisible logée dans son esprit, qui est peut-être la seule chose à l'avoir maintenue saine d'esprit. Quand une quête de vérité la pousse à la rébellion, Oxane découvre qu'elle n'est pas qu'une simple Alpha. Elle est l'Incontrôlable, la seule capable de fusionner toutes les fréquences, un point de chaos pur que même le Maître craignait. Poursuivie par ses anciens frères Alphas (dont Flint et Sydra, qui deviendront ses alliés les plus fidèles) et l'Institution tout entière, Oxane doit naviguer dans un monde qu'elle ne connaît pas. Son seul objectif : atteindre le Cœur de l'Institution, l'entité énergétique qui maintient l'Ordre et la prison de tous les Alphas. Mais que faire lorsque la vérité est plus dangereuse que le mensonge ? Oxane peut-elle se fier à Kéros, l'IA qui prétend être son guide, alors qu'il est la première création de son ennemi juré ? En libérant le chaos qu’elle incarne, risque-t-elle de briser le monde ou de libérer une prison ? Le destin des Alphas repose sur la jeune femme la plus explosive de l'univers. Bienvenue dans l'ère de la désobéissance.
