The Arsonist

Sloth_000
Ten-year-old Troy Greyson discovers something intoxicating the first time he creates fire on his own—a secret, living force that responds to him in a way nothing else ever has. What begins as a stolen moment behind a backyard toolshed quickly becomes an awakening. The heat, the scent, the quiet power of watching something grow under his control—it all leaves a mark far deeper than a childhood mistake. Caught by his horrified mother before the flames can spread, Troy is punished and warned, but the experience doesn’t frighten him. Instead, it ignites a private obsession. Hidden away in his room that night, he clings to the memory of those ninety perfect seconds, already planning his next chance to feel that same thrill again.

The CEO’s Regret: You made me your lie, I become your Loss

Amara Piers is living the dream everyone double-taps on Instagram. For ten years, Sebastian Creed hasn’t just been her husband; he’s been her entire world. As the charismatic CEO of a global empire, Sebastian is the man who has everything, yet he acts as if Amara is his only prize. The handwritten morning notes, the spontaneous anniversary trips to Paris, the way he looks at her as if she’s the only woman in the room—it was the "perfect" marriage. Or so she thought. The facade doesn’t crack; it shatters. On a mundane Thursday morning, a stranger delivers a sentence that turns Amara’s fairy tale into a psychological horror story: “Ma’am, I’m sorry... but your marriage certificate and your child’s adoption papers are both fake.” In one heartbeat, Amara realizes she isn’t a wife, and she might not legally be a mother. The man she worshipped hasn’t just been keeping secrets; he’s been orchestrating a decade-long performance. As the walls of her high-end life close in, Amara must face a terrifying reality: Sebastian Creed didn't marry her because he loved her. He "captured" her. Now, the woman who was once his greatest treasure is becoming his greatest threat. To reclaim her life and walk away from her husband's child, Amara must disappear from a man who has the resources to find anyone, anywhere. But how do you run from a man who knows your every thought before you even think it? She was the woman he claimed to love. Now, she’s the one woman he can’t be allowed to keep.
