Celeste stood at the beach, feeling his presence behind her. She swallowed nervously. It was now or never; these four years of one-sided love were going to end today.
"Marcello, I want you to know I'm in love with you. I was going to endure it, but I can't. Marcello, I want to be yours, so please give me a chance," she shouted, turning around with tears in her eyes as she quickly hugged him.
"Please, Marcello, I can't do this anymore. I know it sounds crazy, but I have always loved you," she said, burying her face below his chest.
Lorenzo froze. He had received an anonymous message meant for his brother Marcello and had come in his place, thinking it was a threat.
He had not expected to see a lady by the beach. She looked so delicate and dream-like, with the way the moon glistened on her alabaster skin and raven black hair, which looked like it had silver streaks when it flowed in the evening breeze.
The soft dress swirled around her, sometimes billowing around her too. She was a siren, and he was enchanted by her beauty. He stood staring as she confessed her feelings, his body coming alive from her touch.
She hugged him tightly, like a lover scared to let go, but the name on her lips wasn't his; it was his brother's—Marcello.

Give Me One Good Reason (formerly Thirteen Reasons)
Life's lessons can be harsh and misunderstandings can tear us apart. When communication breaks down - will we be able to fix the damage we've caused or are the rifts too raw, too savage to ever be healed again?
"Give me ONE good reason why I shouldn't leave you. I trusted you and you broke my heart, you ripped it out and crushed it under your heel..." The last words were choked off by sobs that wracked his body. I watched as my heart broke in front of me. He was right. I fucked up.
All I could do was watch as Lan Yibo gently encased him in an embrace and as his golden brown eyes sliced through me with disappointment like the chilling winter winds that blew over the Arctic ice caps. "Please, I'm sorr-" "Not welcome. Get Lost."
An original story by me but I borrow names from well known people and characters. HOWEVER: any similarities to actual events or incidents are coincidental as this is a work of fiction.
CONTAINS: Graphic and sexually explicit scenes, abuse, violence and cursing. Read at your own risk.

The Four Empires - The Chronicles of the Thirteen Realms
…
At first, El was just a seven-year-old boy, surviving in a war-torn village steeped only in the air of misery and the stench of death.
He was far from ordinary though – for his fragmented memories made it difficult to remember many things, yet it gifted him with an uncanny intelligence.
With only a few tattered books from a crumbling, wooden library, he taught himself how to read, clinging to knowledge as his only solace.
He believed his fate was sealed, destined to die like other children who succumbed to illness or starvation, then left him there alone.
However, everything changed the day his village was attacked by unknown people. The invaders slaughtered everyone, yet for reasons he couldn’t fathom, they left him alive.
When El awoke under the pale light of the full moon, the attackers returned, searching for what they called "A breath that was left."
Helpless, he was captured. What followed was a blur – six years of his life erased from memory. He woke up again, his head bandaged, in the care of a mysterious man who brought him to Mirthwater, a city in one of the Four Vassal States of the Ryxhaton Empire.
Then without much of an explanation, he abandoned him there.
Left to fend for himself, El navigated the harsh underside of Mirthwater, while haunted by dreams of the unknown he couldn’t make sense of.

Now, El’s must confront the horrors lurking in the depths of Mirthwater and uncover the truth about his past – before it consumes all of him.

" Thirteen Homicide " was a 21-episode TV series based on thirteen real murder cases that had happened in recent years. It was adapted and created. The main plot and characters of the drama were all real. The film crew conducted more than 30 hours of television interviews with the murderers of the 13 murders, and used these interviews as part of the drama, combining them with the story to form a complete film. The murderers in the drama were all ordinary people. They could even be said to be the "good people","cowardly people", and "righteous people" that were commonly seen in our lives. At a certain moment, they underwent a drastic change and became murderers. The root cause of these crimes could be roughly attributed to talking too much and causing trouble. The characters in the movie all said that they didn't want to kill people at first, but later admitted that they did kill people. The reason why they came to this step was because of the common human weaknesses, such as selfishness, jealousy, ignorance, narrow-mindedness, and ignorance. These weaknesses ruined their peaceful and happy lives. " Thirteen Homicide " was a thought-provoking TV series. By showing the stories of these real murders, it made the audience think about the complexity of human nature and the emergence of evil.
