“Love in the Shadow of Revenge”

Aish_writer
Aira Grace has spent her life yearning for love in a house ruled by power. The daughter of influential politician Marcus Grace, raised without a mother and ignored by an ambitious brother, Aira grows up believing love must be earned through patience and sacrifice. Rowan Royce is born into blood. The son of a retired mafia leader, carrying the weight of a shattered family and an elder sister lost to betrayal, Rowan lives by one rule—never trust what love shows on the surface. When a political feud between the Grace and Royce families leaves his father injured, Rowan’s world hardens into revenge. Their paths cross through Rowan’s younger sister at university. Aira falls for Rowan without knowing the storm surrounding him, and Rowan—despite his cold restraint—allows her into his life. When Aira begs him to marry her, Rowan agrees, hiding vengeance behind wedding vows. To Aira, the marriage is imperfect but precious. She loves him through his silence, his distance, and the hostility of his world. Happiness shatters when Aira discovers Rowan’s true identity—his hands stained red by the mafia life he never escaped. A violent confrontation drives her into flight, straight into a carefully laid trap. Her enemies steal her unborn child through a forced operation, then manipulate Rowan into believing his wife ended the pregnancy herself. Broken by misunderstanding and blinded by hatred, Rowan abandons her in the hospital—yet never fully lets go. He ensures her recovery from a distance, torn between revenge and the woman he loves but cannot forgive. When news reports claim Aira has been murdered, Rowan descends into madness. His mercy disappears. One by one, his enemies fall—until the truth surfaces. Between cruelty and devotion, revenge and misunderstanding, Rowan and Aira suffer the most. Yet in a world built on blood and lies, they discover that survival itself can be an act of love.

Upon The Star Altar

In a universe scorched by the boundless ambitions of Star-Lords, compassion is a luxury the poor cannot afford. Human lives are worth less than rusted scrap, and hope is the most lethal poison. For Arlo and Lana, a young couple barely nineteen years old, survival in Remnant Village is a daily humiliation—a desperate struggle to protect their four-year-old son, Azril. ​But the universe never asks for permission to take what it wants. ​One evening, while Arlo prostrated himself in the dust to beg for his son's future, Azril saw a "falling star" behind a dying ancient tree. Driven by innocent wonder and a desire to help his family, the toddler chased the light. It was no miracle; it was a silent dimensional rift that swallowed him whole, leaving behind nothing but a cracked wooden toy in the dirt. ​Azril was cast into The Sanctuary—a dimensional wasteland born from the lingering karma of a Transcendence being. In this realm where physics are broken and time is a cruel master, Azril was forced into a state of Eternal Meditation. For three hundred years, his body was ground into stardust, his spirit forged in absolute void, and his severed limb reconstructed with a Cosmic Aura that defies the laws of the heavens. ​Only one year has passed in his home world. Arlo and Lana are now just twenty years old, still clutching the cracked wooden toy of a son who vanished only twelve months prior. ​But when The Sanctuary finally rejects an anomaly too powerful to contain, the figure that steps out is no longer a helpless child. He is a young man with eyes as deep as the abyss, draped in the aura of Void Stillness (Stage 3)—a force capable of silencing entire galaxies. ​The world shall know him as the Void Demon. But to Arlo and Lana, he is still the boy who chased a star—only this time, he returns with an oath that will shake the thrones of gods: ​"Whoever dares to make my parents shed a single tear shall find their entire galaxy plunged into eternal silence."
