The Forsaken Sigil: The Child That Shouldn't Be

SpectatorOfShadows
In a world where magic has shattered law and order, the strong rule, and the weak are forgotten. Justice is no longer blind. It is bought in blood. Lucian Vance is a mercenary with a rare gift: Remnant Sight; the power to track anything, anyone, anywhere. He sells his skills to the highest bidder, caring nothing for right or wrong. Until one night, everything changes. Hired to hunt down a rogue mage, Lucian finds the target already dead, but a little girl left behind. A child marked by forbidden runes, a power that should not exist. Before he can walk away, the ones who sent him turn against him. Now, Lucian is the hunted. Every assassin, mage, and warlord in the underworld wants the child dead. The Ebon Veil, the Pale Choir, and the shattered remains of the old world all whisper the same thing; she is a prophecy, a curse, a weapon. But Lucian doesn’t believe in fate. With blood on his hands and a past that won’t let him go, he must uncover the truth before the world burns around them. Because there is one question no one dares to ask: Why is the child there, and why should she die?? ------ Hello there! I am trying to be as consistent as possible, but hey I am a newbie writer and may sometime edit the chapters. Don't worry, worriors, the flow and story will the remain the same.

FORBIDDEN INTIMACY: UNCHAINED BY HIS LOVE

[WARNING MATURE CONTENT, R18+] Michael Specter is a handsome, successful entrepreneur with women throwing themselves at his feet just to spend a night. However, very few know about his menacing side. Twenty-two year old Layla Mclan is in desperate need of a higher-paying job to clear off her mother's debts. Opportunity comes knocking when she successfully applies for work in a richer household, the Conners. But life soon takes a turn when Layla finds out that there is no such household, and instead of working as a maid, she is now a slave to Michael Specter, a billionaire with a twisted mind. Layla’s eyes turned red, shoulders trembling, her soul wanting to reach out to her mom but alas… There was no way out, as she was already locked in the room, succumbing to the fears that didn’t feel very distant; She had gone through the same not long before. The agreement papers turned her body cold. Sometimes the worst seems best and there’s no end to the misery days; The one who avenges, the one who endures remains true to their valor. ‘Rule No. 1: Tending to your Master’s needs should be your top priority. Failing to do so, he can punish you however he pleases.’ ‘However, he pleases? What he’s gonna do to me?’ She mused and felt her heart sinking to the bottom of her chest. ‘Rule No. 2: You cannot say ‘no’ or oppose your Master’s orders.’ ‘Rule No. 3: You’re free to wear clothes of your choice… However, he can make you change it if he wants.’ ‘Rule No. 4: You are not allowed to step outside of the property.’ . . . Excerpt: “Ac-Actually I’m sleepy and I spent my day working for the household… Umm… Master, can I ask you something?” “Go ahead.” “I left my mom back home and I took this offer just to meet the debts… So will you pay me the said amount if I listen to your needs?” She asked in her feeble voice. “Needs Hmm… How about you strip off right now and lie down on the bed?” “What?” She exclaimed in horror. “You heard me,” he sounded dead serious. Layla gulped down the heavy lump that she had been holding for quite some time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***NOTE*** The cover isn’t mine.
