A few months before Emily turns 18, her father dies. She goes to Baguio to live with her mother, her stepfather Miguel, and her half-brother Migo. Emily misses her father terribly that she finds it hard to fit into her new home, despite her mother's sympathetic efforts and her half-brother's irresistible cuteness. Good thing, Emily seems to be friendly enough to have made new pals, like Denver, who, it turns out, sees her as more than a friend. Then Emily meets a mysterious young man who suddenly appears and disappears; and he's always dressed in black leather jacket and denim pants whom she gets to know as Lance Monroe. Emily is smitten by Lance's romantic gestures and protective ways. He teaches her to play the piano, and brings her roses, and he even rescues her from bad guys, and helps her overcome her fears. She feels she has found in Lance her knight in shining armor who will rescue her from her incurable loneliness and deathly sadness. But Emily's family and friends are alarmed that she has become secluded and deluded in her own imaginary world. In the end, she has to decide what matters most to her and where her heart truly is.

"A mutt like you really thought he could marry into our family?" Isabelle Carter sneered, tossing a box at Karvel Cross’s feet. His old belongings spilled out—along with the engagement ring he had spent months preparing for Mariya. Laughter rippled through the room. "Pick it up, stray," Vincent Langford mocked, swirling his whiskey. "That’s all you’ll ever be. A discarded pet hoping for scraps." "Congratulations, Mariya," he said, voice eerily calm. "I hope your new fiancé doesn’t end up treating you the way you’re treating me.” But the humiliation wasn’t over. Her mother called him a mutt, Vincent Langford, a smug rival, mocked his existence, and soon, Karvel became nothing more than a joke among the elite. A discarded man with no value. What they didn’t know? The stray they cast aside… was a trillionaire heir. Karvel Cross is no longer the broken man they once laughed at. With secrets deeper than the ocean and a past that refuses to stay buried, he’s about to show them all—Mariya, Vincent, and the entire world—that the man they underestimated is the one they should have feared all along. "Dear ex, I don't need you anymore."

Dr. Nyle, a brilliant scientist is on a mission to investigate a mysterious black hole that appeared near the orbit of saturn.  He discovers that the black hole was indeed a ship and journeys to it. There he finds epochis, an AI created, embedded into the ship, created by the ouroborans from eight thousand years into the future, who had mastered time.  Guided by Epochis, he’s told that an antimatter weapon, scattered across multiple universes, is the key to defeating the omnipotent Aeon Prime, a malevolent entity bent on annihilating all realities, which was the prime originator of an ouroboran civil war in the far future. With Epochis and a love interest, Dara sol, he travels the multiverse, looking for fragmented pieces of an anti-matter weapon. Each universe he traverses holds both the key to saving everything and the seeds of his own undoing. From a two-dimensional world where existence is reduced to planes, to universes made of echoes and timelines frozen in an eternal loop, Nyle battles both the strange physics of these realms and his inner doubts. Meanwhile, an Ouroboran captain, once lost in a time loop, emerges from his prison, now bent on stopping Nyle before it’s too late. The captain reveals the true history of the Ouroboran civil war—how Aeon Prime was created as a result of a rebellion among their own, fracturing timelines and bringing the end of the universe far closer than anyone imagined. Nyle must choose between continuing the quest and becoming Aeon Prime’s pawn, or destroying the one power that could save all realities. The end of all universes is fast approaching, and Nyle is the only one standing between survival and oblivion.

Terry died when he was stabbed by Bobby shit. Instead of being sent to heaven, hell, limbo, or purgatory, Terry was sent back to earth by Saint Peter.

"I need some angels to help in bringing them back ." Saint Peter laughed sardonically, "You know that's impossible, right?" Sameal's grunted louder from the other side of the call. "Hmm... You will think of something, won't you?" "Sì." "Thank you." Saint Peter hisses and then presses the terminate button. "Saint Peter," Terry called out. The saint removed a pair of spectacles, wiped the glasses with an impeccable white handkerchief, and then placed the spectacles back at the edge of his nose. "I need your help, mortal."
