A fantasy drama about Emelda and Franklin.
Once upon a time, nestled within the bustling streets of a bustling city, there existed a hidden gem known only to a select few-an ancient library steeped in mystery and forgotten by time. Its grand façade was obscured by overgrown ivy and its windows obscured by thick curtains, leaving it unnoticed by all but the most discerning eye. This was a place where the whispers of the past mingled with the scent of old books, where secrets lay hidden within the dusty tomes that lined its shelves.
It was here, amidst the musty scent of parchment and ink, that Franklin first laid eyes on Emelda. She stood before a towering bookshelf, her fingers trailing reverently over the spines of the ancient tomes as she lost herself in their tales. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity, and Franklin found himself drawn to her like a moth to a flame.
Clearing his throat nervously, Franklin approached her, his heart pounding in his chest. "Excuse me," he began, his voice barely above a whisper. "Are you looking for something in particular?"
Startled, Emelda turned to face him, her eyes widening in surprise. "Oh, I didn't see you there," she exclaimed, a smile playing at the corners of her lips. "I'm just browsing, trying to find something to pique my interest."
Franklin nodded, a sense of relief flooding through him. "I know just the book," he said eagerly, gesturing towards a nearby shelf. "Follow me."
And so, side by side, they wandered through the labyrinthine aisles of the hidden library, lost in conversation as they exchanged stories of their favorite books and authors. With each passing moment, Franklin found himself falling deeper under Emelda's spell, enchanted by her quick wit and infectious laughter.
As they reached the end of a narrow corridor, Franklin paused before a weathered bookshelf, his eyes scanning the titles in search of the perfect book. And then, as if by magic, his gaze fell upon a dusty tome tucked away in a corner, its faded cover adorned with intricate designs.
"This," he declared, holding the book aloft for Emelda to see. "This is the one."
Emelda's eyes lit up with excitement as she reached out to take the book from Franklin's hands. "What is it?" she asked, her curiosity piqued.
"It's a collection of ancient myths and legends," Franklin explained, his voice barely above a whisper. "Stories of heroes and villains, of love and betrayal. It's said to hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the hidden library."
Emelda's breath caught in her throat as she flipped through the pages of the ancient tome, her fingers tracing the faded ink as she lost herself in its tales. "This is incredible," she breathed, her eyes shining with wonder. "Thank you, Franklin."
And in that moment, as they stood together in the heart of the hidden library, Franklin knew that he had found something far more precious than any book-a kindred spirit, a fellow adventurer, and perhaps, if he dared to hope, a friend.
As they wandered back towards the entrance of the library, Franklin and Emelda exchanged promises to return and explore its depths further. And as they stepped out into the bustling streets of the city, hand in hand, Franklin couldn't help but feel that their journey was only just beginning. For in the hidden library, amidst the dusty tomes and forgotten tales, he had found not only a friend, but a treasure far more precious than any jewel.
Together, they would embark on a journey filled with adventure, magic, and wonder, their love guiding them every step of the way. For Franklin and Emelda, the hidden library was just the beginning of a new chapter in their lives, a chapter filled with excitement, discovery, and the boundless power of love.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.

"There will be no falling in love, we will only act as a loving couple when we are in public, we will share a room to make it believable, but no intimacy, touching is off-limits. We'll only have sex once a month, and that's solely to produce an heir. You won't interfere in my business, and I won't interfere in yours. You will be my wife in every sense and you will not be involved with any other man," he said, arrogance seeping from every word. I watch his mouth move, I'm not ready to fall in love with any man, especially not one as arrogant and egoistic as him. I can handle acting as a loving couple, and as for intimacy once a month. I can agree to that just to satisfy my sexual cravings with no strings attached. "Where can I sign?" I asked since I had nothing to lose. *** Nadine's wedding dreams turned to nightmares when she caught her sister and fiancé cheating! With a secret recording, she's ready for revenge.
