Jayden Almasi is a global phenomenon-one of the most electrifying rap and R&B artists of his generation. His name fills arenas, his face covers billboards, and his music dominates the charts. But with fame comes fallout: a past marred by legal trouble, broken relationships, and a reputation as the industry's most controversial figure. To the world, he's untouchable, dangerous, desirable... and destined to crash.... more>>

Camila Naïdu never imagined her life would collide with his. Desperate to change her circumstances, she auditions for a spot on Jayden's world tour-stepping into a universe of flashing lights, whispered rumors, and relentless pressure. She doesn't expect to get chosen. She definitely doesn't expect him-the man behind the legend-to notice her at all.

But from the moment their eyes meet, something ignites.

What begins as a professional opportunity spirals into something far more dangerous: a searing chemistry neither can deny. Onstage, their connection burns-each performance dripping with tension, heat, and the kind of intimacy that blurs every line. Offstage, the walls they've both built begin to crack. Jayden, haunted by past betrayals and constant scrutiny, finds himself drawn to Camila's quiet strength. And Camila, unprepared for the brutal weight of fame, must navigate not only the spotlight, but her feelings for the man the world loves to hate.

As secrets surface and rivalries flare, they'll be forced to ask:
Is surviving the industry worth sacrificing what matters most?

And can love-real, reckless, and flawed-survive when the whole world is watching?

Camila's story is one of ambition, temptation, and redemption-where the price of fame is high, but the price of love may be even higher. <<less

Hello presumed humans looking for something to read! This short story is planned to be only two or three chapters, and resembles more of an extended poem than typical prose. There are some heavy concepts at the periphery, but overall it is intended to have a sweet to bittersweet tone. I know it's not that popular of a style so if you rate or review it, please try to evaluate it for what it is rather than just a low rating for not being in more familiar narrative format. Rhodonite by the way is a rather cute pink mineral with the composition MnSiO3, manganese inosilicate. <<less

A random series of thoughts can lead to a memory from the past.
A memory you'd forgotten.
A memory resurfaced.
"Why now?", she asked herself.

From the very depths of the Void dwells the husks of forgotten heroes and souls unguided.
For the Void, there is no Heaven and Hell; there is no life and death.... more>>

Floating on the emptiness that the Void can only offer.
For their untended graves don't need anything but solace.

Until one wretched soul flew too far away unbeknownst to anyone, not even that poor soul.
For he will awake again to walk the barren land, breathe the poisonous air, swim the muddy waters, and live this meaningless life.

He will have a second chance he didn't want, will have a life he never wanted.
Chained on a body filled with hate and desperation.
He will do everything to appease this hateful body to finally free himself back to his grave.
