Breaking Bad : IM Skinny Pete

What_If_4132
Marcus was a thirty-four-year-old hedge fund analyst who died of a heart attack at his desk, only to wake up as Skinny Pete six months before the events of the Breaking Bad pilot. Trapped in a malnourished body screaming for a fix, Marcus discovers he has a supernatural edge: the ability to summon an infinite supply of NZT-48, a cognitive enhancement pill that turns his mind into a biological supercomputer. While navigating the dangerous streets of Albuquerque, his new "Lucky Survivor" ability—a subconscious probability field—begins nudging reality in his favor, allowing him to survive brutal ambushes and avoid police stings by pure "luck". Desperate to escape the shadow of the Heisenberg era, Marcus travels to Tijuana for reconstructive surgery to shed Pete's identity forever and become the legally real Marcus Webb. As he builds a sophisticated information-trading network, he must decide if he will use his Wall Street skills to prevent Jesse Pinkman’s spiral or simply disappear before the blue meth hits the market.

TEMPTED BY THE DEVIL'S TOUCH

I married a monster to save my sister. Now he won't let me go. I have forty-eight hours to find $750,000, or my sixteen-year-old sister becomes collateral damage for our father's gambling debts. I'm a pediatric nurse with $340 in my bank account and zero options—until a man in a tailored suit finds me at midnight and makes an offer that sounds completely insane: Marry his employer. Ask no questions. Obey without hesitation. In exchange? Every debt erased. My family protected. Forever. I sign the contract without reading it. I don't meet my husband until our wedding day. Killian Archer is the most beautiful—and terrifying—man I've ever seen. Ice-blue eyes that miss nothing. A presence that makes grown men step back. And everyone in this city either worships him or fears him. The ceremony takes eleven minutes. He slides a platinum ring onto my finger like a shackle and says three words that change everything: "You're mine now." I expect a wedding night. Instead, he shows me to a separate bedroom and gives me rules: Don't leave without security. Don't ask about his business. Don't test him. He keeps his distance—cold, controlled, untouchable. But I see the cracks. The way his hands clench when I walk past. The way he watches me like I'm something he wants to devour. The way he stands outside my bedroom door at 3am like he's fighting a war with himself. He says our marriage is just business. Everything about him screams obsession. Then I discover the truth: Killian didn't just pay my father's debts. He created them. Bought out the loan sharks. Orchestrated my desperation. Trapped me so completely that I had no choice but to come to him. Because six months ago, Killian Archer saw me in a coffee shop and decided I was his. He doesn't do love. Doesn't do relationships. Doesn't let anyone close. But he'll manipulate me, bind me, cage me—make me want to stay even if it destroys us both. When I confront him, he doesn't apologize. Doesn't even pretend to feel guilty. "I take what I want, Isla. And I've wanted you since the moment I saw you." I should run. I try to run. But Killian's enemies are circling, and the most dangerous man in the city is somehow the safest place I've ever been. Then his rival kidnaps me to get revenge—and I watch Killian become something worse than a monster to get me back. I should be horrified by the violence. The darkness. The blood on his hands. Instead, I realize I'm falling in love with this beautiful, broken, obsessive man who would burn the entire world down before letting me be hurt. Our contract says eighteen months. But Killian Archer doesn't know how to let go. And I'm starting to think I don't want him to.
