These beautiful literatures of romance have always had a certain defined flow to them that we’ve become accustomed to, a flow that rattles the kaleidoscope of butterflies within our stomachs.. There is always a meeting, gentle and warm… the falling in love, fiery and exciting.. the falling out of love, sad and heart wrenching… and the happily ever after, beautiful and seemingly forever… Oh how we love the beautiful things romance stories being us; the first kiss, the first ‘I love you’ and not to mention, the ‘forever’… But what about the events that come after that? What about the post ‘happily ever after’ struggles that people in love face but never speak of? What about the loneliness, the doubt, the lies, the boredom… …the possibility of INFIDELITY…. This is an internal monologue of a story, narrated from the perspective of a man struggling with the challenges a failing marriage brings with it, and of course, also told from the perspective.. of HER.

!!!! VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED !!!! THIS BOOK IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. IF YOU READ THIS BOOK, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!! Ravana "Raven" Moriarty came from a family steeped in crime. The Moriarty name was synonymous with evil, a legacy she never wanted. Desperate to escape that world, Raven moved to Los Angeles and reinvented herself as a detective and therapist with the LAPD. Her deep knowledge of criminal backgrounds gave her an edge, but her new life was upended when she was paired with the obsessive, charming, and dangerously handsome Lucifer Morningstar. Lucifer broke every rule to make Raven his partner, determined to uncover the truth behind the Moriarty name and prove himself worthy of Raven's trust. Raven, a logical and guarded woman, struggled to understand Lucifer's isolated and enigmatic ways, her only goal to destroy the family legacy that had haunted her. As Raven and Lucifer delved deeper into a reality Raven had thought impossible, the ghosts of her past threatened to cloud her future and undo the hard-won peace she had found. Would Lucifer's relentless pursuit make Raven see what she had been missing, or would the weight of the Moriarty name crush any chance at a fresh start?
“Out of my way!” “Learn to read your lines before challenging them.” “It shouldn’t be like how we are supposed to be.” “Pretend as if it never happened.” One night, a thousand questions ignited to be answered. Alas, neither of them was ready to do so. She chose to play the wisest role, or she just thought it could be possibly the wisest. He let himself be mesmerized by the encounter, amazed by the new connection he seemed to create in his mind. “Tell me if I’m wrong.” “It doesn’t change the fact that we fell into this together.” “Forced self-denial? How far can you manage to go with it?” She must be considered a fool to reject his advances, as all the women out there desired for him. But he is neither good, for thinking it will be easy to get her. She seems sharp, quick-witted and flooded with elegance. On the contrary, her gazes are terrifying, unwelcoming. She isn’t afraid of darkness, she appreciated evil, while hated being loved and avoided the fragments of romance. Her existence is mysterious as well as her presence. And there he is, calm, collected, flawless, and handsome in everything he does. He seems to believe in love, more than anyone. He is not afraid of the wonders of romance, it’s just he didn’t need to think about it until he met her. It was then he found the meaning of those abstract feelings he had read in the books. “Say, My Lady, will you be mine?” “Am I not honored enough to love My Lord more than I do?” Love sounds like a fairy tale, for people who constantly face with the reality of truth and desires. Love turns into lust, lust into self-destruction. Sometimes, even a fairy tale is not enough to make a story perfect. Sometimes, sacrifice is the only option to keep one side pleasant. A fated match? Or an unfortunate miss-match? Forever together? Or a curse to never be together? It was a destined encounter, which led them into a beautiful mistake. Will they be counting it as a mistake over time? Or they will leave it behind and move on like all those fragments of memories lost in the dark shade of the past? A journey of forbidden and impossible bloodthirsty love begins here.

A precursor to the Mainframe series that will soon follow. This is the story of how Emily comes to be recruited by Mainframe. Her story is completely different from Mainframe's and there's a lot less comedy in this one. Emily is a 15 year old girl who visits the local junkyard every day. With her father being a primitive soldier and her mother being in a profession that's best not mentioned she has a fairly eventful home life. This home life is even more eventful than that every time her and her father argue about the idea of morality. Emily herself certainly doesn't do things by half measures either as while she visits the local junkyard she runs into a similarly local gang who run the place and mess with them in a serious way on a regular basis. All of this trouble coming her way and her reason for attracting it? Because she wants to build a robot. Well she wants to do something with that robot to be specific. She wants to murder her parents. She wants them to repay her. With interest. This is my first attempt at writing a story so corrections and suggestions are always appreciated. I'm using this as practice for the series I'm going to write afterwards which is the Mainframe story I mentioned at the top of the description. Hence why the side story is coming out BEFORE the original series. If anyone reads this after reading the Mainframe series in the future then Hi! Welcome to my humble origins. ;) Tags: #villain, #psycho, #sci-fi, #lasers, #beastkins, #demons, #succubi, #soldier, #abused, #gangs, #female leads, #ruthless lead. Quick note about story contents: I try to avoid profanities, gore and sex in my stories. That said this story is about a psychopath finding her true nature so it's fairly obvious that there's going to be murder, death, a bit of gore etc... etc... But I've kept it to the minimum that the story needs and contained in certain scenes. If you don't like it there'll be a warning of *_* next to the chapter name if it contains anything not fit for the eyes of children. Though if you're a minor and reading this story I seriously question how you're going to develop if you take any of my characters as role models. *o* Oh and art's mine kind of. Basically I have an AI do the drawing for me and I stick it together with image manipulation software. I used to do some people's youtube thumbnails for them so I like to think I'm ok at it but there are some glaringly obvious flaws in places cause I'm not used to mix and match. Fits the story though right? Having an AI do this sort of thing for me. Ok I know I'm a bit of a rambler so I'll stop here. If you've actually read all the way to the end of this I'm seriously impressed. You have my heartfelt gratitude and respect for dealing with my nonsense and unfortunately all I can give you is a smiley face. :) (I wanted to put a gold star here but realized I couldn't actually do that...) oof.
"You must be crazy woman. This is my house. You are my wife. You do whatever I ordered you to do" His hold on my arms went deep like a peircing needle. Even at the situation I was in, I didn't back out. "You married me as a wife not as a slave. I'm not going to succumb to your demands" I seethe. "Oh is that so? Then I will show you who is the master here" It happened so fast. I found my body being pushed to the nearest wall with his lips hot on mine. ~~ He wants her the very first time he set his eyes on her. He wants to claim her as his.
