How I Became The Alpha Mafia Boss' Target

Excerpt: His lips left her neck only long enough to say, “If the invisible scars he left don't disappear now, I'll keep trying again and again until they do. Soon your body will know only me.” Her eyes were still swollen from her previous tears, but they began to water again for a far different reason than before. She tried to pull away and hide her face from him. “Promise me,” she uttered. “Promise me I'll never be in the same room as him ever again.” His fist clenched and he had to control his anger. Quieter than before he whispered, “I promise.” * Synopsis: A tumultuous childhood made Sophia fight that much harder for peace in her adulthood.

The Eternal King Enki — The Undying Witness

The Eternal King Enki — The Undying Witness

A cosmic court has condemned humanity. Seven immortal witnesses return to the dawn of civilization to prove — or disprove — its worth. Most fall. Power twists them into tyrants, idols, and architects of sterile utopias. Only one chooses another path. Across centuries, Enki walks among mortals unseen, planting knowledge instead of monuments, nurturing fragile lives instead of controlling them. He learns that meaning is not found in eternal empires, but in fleeting acts of grace — a hand lifted from mud, a garden built from flood-ruins, a child taught to listen to water. His defense is not glory. It is tenderness. It is persistence. It is humanity’s quiet refusal to stop loving, even knowing all things end. A mythic tale about time, loss, and choosing to build anyway. [Beneath the myth and the science fiction lies a simple, stubborn claim: this is not just a story. Enki was born in 2850 BC and has been carrying the memory ever since. The names are changed, the years shifted, the moons given new orbits, yet the resurrection happened, the desert temptation was real, the stone rolled away, and the Judge has been reigning ever since. Everything else — the Scrapbook, the 0.3%, the blind spot in the machine — is simply the record of those who kept looking up while the world looked down. Most have forgotten there is a sky vaster than any mind can hold, that Earth is a gift, not a possession, that God drew no borders and the birds still fly free without passports. Read it as fiction if you like. Some books are written so the truth can reach the few who still have ears to hear. This is one of them.] 2025 Mark Casa Nova (Original) You may share, translate, adapt, illustrate, animate, film, or perform this work freely — even commercially — on one unbreakable condition: Do not change the lesson. The resurrection happened. The stone was rolled away. Grace is real, borders are not, and the birds still fly free. Everything else — style, medium, language — is yours to play with. The core is not. That’s all I ask.

The Mafia King of Philadelphia: From witness to his doted wife

The Mafia King of Philadelphia: From witness to his doted wife

A strong arm locked around her mouth from behind while something cold and metallic pressed hard against her temple. A gun. Pure terror exploded through her body. “Dare to scream,” a deep voice said quietly beside her ear, “and I’ll paint this bookshelf with your brains.” ------ 25-year-old Sienna Vale lives a quiet life among dusty shelves and forgotten medical stories, working late nights as a librarian in Skyfod University’s oldest libraries. But one rainy evening, just minutes before closing, she catches the faint metallic scent of blood drifting through the aisles. Hidden in the corner between the shelves is a dead body. Before Sienna can scream, a strong hand clamps over her mouth, and the cold barrel of a gun presses against her temple. The man behind her is dangerous, ruthless, and terrifyingly calm. Viktor Kessler, a notorious hitman with blood on his hands, has just carried out an assassination, and Sienna is the only witness left alive. Desperate to survive, Sienna swears she’ll never speak a word of what she saw. But Viktor trusts no one. Instead of killing her, he drags her into his dark world and forces her into a marriage designed to keep her silent forever. Trapped beside a man feared by the entire underworld, Sienna soon discovers Viktor is far more than a hired killer. He is the powerful and merciless head of the mafia empire ruling the city from the shadows. But Viktor isn’t the only one hiding secrets. Because the quiet librarian he thought he could control is not as innocent, or as ordinary, as she appears. As enemies close in, betrayals unfold, and a dangerous attraction ignites between captor and captive, Sienna and Viktor are pulled into a deadly game where love, obsession, and power collide. And in a world built on lies, the greatest threat may be the secrets they keep from each other.

Which is better, a silent witness or a national witness?
The Silent Eyewitness was a remake of the National Eyewitness, and both had their own characteristics. From a story-level perspective," National Eyewitness " constructed the story framework of a lawyer and a prosecutor fighting after a rich man's daughter was suspected of murdering his fiancée. The plot was reversed layer by layer. Through multiple trials and the presentation of events from different characters 'perspectives, it showed the complicated relationship between the characters and the confusing process of searching for the truth. For example, in the process of witnesses and evidence constantly emerging, the audience kept wandering between the information revealed by each character, from thinking that the daughter was the murderer to the driver was the murderer, and finally found out that the rich man took the blame for the woman. This reversal enhanced the suspense and appeal of the story. " The Silent Eyewitness " was also the story of a rich man's daughter being accused of murder after his fiancée was killed, but the adaptation was more complicated and fancy. In terms of influence," National Eyewitness " had achieved a certain amount of box office results in the country. It had also been nominated and awarded in many awards such as the International Chinese Film Festival. It had a high reputation and recognition. However, which one was better depended on the audience's personal preferences in terms of story style, narrative techniques, and actors 'performances. If one liked the classic suspense narrative structure and the more restrained style, they might prefer " National Witnesses." If one could accept the complicated and fancy adaptation, they might find " The Silent Eyewitness " unique. " The Silent Eyewitness " novel is equally exciting.

The responsibility of a witness
Witnesses did not need to be disturbed by trial or punishment. Their duty was to provide testimony to the judicial institutions to help restore the truth of the incident so that the judicial institutions could accurately judge the case. If you testify truthfully, you don't have to bear any legal responsibility. On the contrary, if you deliberately provide false testimony to interfere with judicial justice, you may commit perjury and face legal punishment. " The Silent Eyewitness " novel is equally exciting.

National witness
National Eyewitness was a crime mystery film that was released in mainland China on September 13, 2013. It was directed and scripted by Fei Xing, and starred Sun Honglei, Yu Nan, Aaron Guo, Deng Jiajia, and others. The film told the story of Lin Tai's daughter, Lin Mengmeng, who became a suspect in the murder of his fiancée. Lin Tai hired a lawyer, Zhou Li, to defend his daughter and compete with the prosecutor, Tong Tao. In the 5th British Vanguard International Chinese Film Festival, Witnessed by the Nation won the Best Film Award and Aaron Kuo won the Best Actor Award. In 2014, the film was nominated for three awards at the 32nd Hundred Flowers Awards and finally won the Best Supporting Actress Award. In 2015, it won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 30th China Rooster Awards, with a total box office of 181 million yuan as of January 7,2023. The movie started with a criminal trial that attracted the attention of the whole country. It made rational thinking and judgment from the perspectives of the prosecutor, the defense lawyer, and God. The plot gradually approached the truth after many reversals. Finally, it revealed the truth behind the legend of the " Dragon's Back Wall " and presented the public with a choice between " legal principle " and " reason." In the film, Lin Tai tried his best to "create" the crime scene to save his daughter. This kind of deep fatherly love was moving. At the same time, the phenomenon of public opinion interfering with the administration of justice in the film was also worth pondering. For example, the media attention outside the trial scene and Zhou Li's initial design of bribing the gunmen to mobilize the power of public opinion, all reflected that in the case of public witnesses, the "truth" seen by people might not be the real truth. In addition, there was also the Korean version of " National Eyewitness." The story was about the daughter of the tycoon Lin Taishan, Lin Meiluo, who was involved in drunk driving and the murder of her stepmother, Yu Na. After Lin Meiluo was taken to the police station, she only cried in court and said that she did not remember what happened. Lin Taishan asked his daughter's classmate, Cui Xizhen, to file a lawsuit for her. In the first trial, the evidence pointed to Lin Meiluo, and Xizhen's rebuttal was relatively weak. The follow-up story needed further development. There was also " National Eyewitness 3: The Stockmarket Catastrophe." This was the third movie in the " National Eyewitness " series. It was a crime mystery film with a realistic theme, filmed by 21st Century Wake Media. Watching " All Suspects " wasn't enough. Everyone, please click to read the novel!

Can an alibi be a witness?
Generally speaking, a witness referred to a person who knew the facts of a case and provided testimony to the judicial administration. Usually, it was a person who witnessed the scene of the incident. It was difficult for someone who was not present to become a witness. Those who had only heard the relevant information were also difficult to identify as witnesses, because witnesses mainly emphasized witnessing the situation at the scene, that is, seeing is believing.
