stages of locs

For ten years, Amiliya "Ami" Reyes has lived by a single, unshakable truth: the boy who killed her family bought his way out of consequences, and one day she would make him answer for it. She was eleven when a car crash on Route 9 took her parents and younger brother — and left sixteen-year-old Levi Cross, son of a billionaire CEO, as the only survivor behind the wheel. The story vanished from the news within days, the settlement buried under legal language, the boy's name quietly protected by everything his family's money could arrange. Now twenty-one, poor, and running on three jobs and no sleep, Ami takes a drafting position at Cross Industries for one reason: to find the last piece of proof she needs before her decade of quiet investigation runs out of road. She doesn't expect to be assigned directly to Levi — cold, controlling, and utterly unaware of who she really is. She definitely doesn't expect to fall for him. What neither of them knows is that Levi has spent the same ten years believing something that isn't true. He has no memory of driving that night — only fragments, guilt, and a story he was handed in a hospital bed at sixteen by a father who has spent a decade making sure his son never asked the one question that would unravel everything: *what actually happened in the rain on Route 9?* As hatred gives way to attachment, and attachment gives way to a love neither of them can control, the ground beneath both of them begins, slowly, to shift. A fabricated betrayal tears them apart. A decade-old lie starts to come apart from the inside when Levi, alone, finally forces himself to read the file he's spent ten years too afraid to open. And when the truth threatens to surface for good, someone with everything to lose decides that the one witness who could destroy it all needs to disappear — the same way, on the same kind of night, as the family she's never stopped grieving. *The Seven Stages Of Love* moves through the seven traditional stages of love — attraction, attachment, love, reverence, worship, madness, and the death of ego — as a romance, a psychological mystery, and a reckoning collide. It is a story about the difference between guilt and truth, the lies families tell to survive themselves, and two people who have to burn down everything they believed about each other — and about themselves — before they can build something real.

Side story from the Main Plot, only fun, humor, and romance

016 is one of thirty successful experimental candidates created inside a classified government research facility. Each was taken in from different sources mainly from orphanages or rescued from human traffickers and subjected to years of intense physical, mental, and biochemical conditioning. They weren’t saved. With technology at it's peak global conflicts became more frequent and harder to end, world powers began turning to alternatives. Candidates like 016 now called Assets are sold to countries on the verge of collapse. One Asset is as valuable as a nuclear weapon, sometimes more depending on rank. Their existence is hidden from the public, and their purpose is simple: complete the missions assigned to them. Inside the facility, children are classified into three groups: Assets (A): the successful candidates. Valuables (V): those still undergoing experimentation. Wastes (W): the ones who are seen as failures or the ones who didn’t survive. suddenly a phenomenon appeared: an eight-meter-wide black rift in Southeast Asia. No light could penetrate it, and those sent inside didn’t return. Of the 1,000 soldiers deployed, the few who came back died on the moment after stepping out or mentally broken muttering only two words: “Devils” and “Gate.”

The story begins with Nelarma. Formerly known as Hereva, Nel has been reborn. (Uh oh, yet another reincarnation novel) However, he isn't the only one reborn. There is another. His name is Kai. He and his twin brother seem to be the only other ones in this world who can understand his struggles. Though Kyln hadn't been reincarnated, he has had more than enough knowledge passed on to him by Kai, so he can easily relate to Luke. Unfortunately, Kai isn't exactly the type to connect with others. Watch as I torture them *cough* Kai *cough*, and see why the two *cough* or more *cough* have been reincarnated into this new world. (If you are in any way uncomfortable with the LGBTQ+ community, I don't recommend reading this book)
