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.

Der Mafiakönig von Philadelphia: Von der Zeugin zu seiner heißgeliebten Frau

Ein starker Arm schlang sich von hinten um ihren Mund, während sich etwas Kaltes, Metallisches fest gegen ihre Schläfe drückte. Eine Waffe. Purer Schrecken explodierte in ihrem Körper. „Wag es zu schreien“, sagte eine tiefe Stimme leise neben ihrem Ohr, „und ich werde dieses Bücherregal mit deinem Gehirn bemalen.“ ------ Die 25-jährige Sienna Vale führt ein ruhiges Leben zwischen staubigen Regalen und vergessenen medizinischen Geschichten und arbeitet bis spät in die Nacht als Bibliothekarin in den ältesten Bibliotheken der Skyfod Universität. Doch an einem regnerischen Abend, nur wenige Minuten vor Schließung, nimmt sie den schwachen metallischen Geruch von Blut wahr, der durch die Gänge zieht. Versteckt in der Ecke zwischen den Regalen liegt eine Leiche. Bevor Sienna schreien kann, legt sich eine starke Hand auf ihren Mund und der kalte Lauf einer Waffe drückt sich gegen ihre Schläfe. Der Mann hinter ihr ist gefährlich, rücksichtslos und erschreckend ruhig. Viktor Kessler, ein berüchtigter Auftragskiller mit Blut an seinen Händen, hat gerade ein Attentat verübt, und Sienna ist die einzige lebende Zeugin. In ihrem verzweifelten Überlebenskampf schwört Sienna, niemals ein Wort über das zu verlieren, was sie gesehen hat. Aber Viktor vertraut niemandem. Anstatt sie zu töten, zerrt er sie in seine dunkle Welt und zwingt sie in eine Ehe, die sie für immer zum Schweigen bringen soll. Gefangen an der Seite eines Mannes, der von der gesamten Unterwelt gefürchtet wird, entdeckt Sienna bald, dass Viktor weit mehr ist als nur ein angeheuerter Mörder. Er ist das mächtige und gnadenlose Oberhaupt des Mafia-Imperiums, das die Stadt aus den Schatten heraus regiert. Aber Viktor ist nicht der Einzige, der Geheimnisse verbirgt. Denn die stille Bibliothekarin, von der er dachte, er könne sie kontrollieren, ist nicht so unschuldig oder gewöhnlich, wie sie scheint. Während sich die Feinde nähern, Verrat aufgedeckt wird und eine gefährliche Anziehung zwischen Entführer und Gefangener entflammt, werden Sienna und Viktor in ein tödliches Spiel hineingezogen, in dem Liebe, Besessenheit und Macht aufeinanderprallen. Und in einer Welt, die auf Lügen aufgebaut ist, könnte die größte Bedrohung die Geheimnisse sein, die sie voreinander haben.

Raja Mafia Philadelphia: Dari Saksi Hingga Menjadi Istri Kesayangannya

Sebuah lengan kuat mengunci mulutnya dari belakang sementara sesuatu yang dingin dan metalik menekan keras di pelipisnya. Sebuah pistol. Teror murni meledak di seluruh tubuhnya. "Berani berteriak," sebuah suara dalam berkata pelan di telinganya, "dan aku akan melukis rak buku ini dengan otakmu." ------ Sienna Vale yang berusia 25 tahun menjalani kehidupan yang tenang di antara rak-rak berdebu dan kisah-kisah medis yang terlupakan, bekerja hingga larut malam sebagai pustakawan di perpustakaan tertua Universitas Skyfod. Namun suatu malam yang hujan, hanya beberapa menit sebelum tutup, ia menangkap samar-samar aroma darah yang metalik melayang di antara lorong-lorong rak. Tersembunyi di sudut di antara rak-rak adalah sebuah mayat. Sebelum Sienna sempat berteriak, sebuah tangan kuat mencengkeram mulutnya, dan laras dingin sebuah pistol menekan di pelipisnya. Pria di belakangnya itu berbahaya, kejam, dan menakutkan dalam ketenangannya. Viktor Kessler, seorang pembunuh bayaran terkenal dengan darah di tangannya, baru saja melakukan sebuah pembunuhan, dan Sienna adalah satu-satunya saksi yang masih hidup. Demi bertahan hidup, Sienna bersumpah tidak akan pernah mengucapkan sepatah kata pun tentang apa yang ia lihat. Namun Viktor tidak mempercayai siapa pun. Alih-alih membunuhnya, ia menyeret Sienna ke dunia gelapnya dan memaksanya masuk ke dalam sebuah pernikahan yang dirancang untuk membuatnya tutup mulut selamanya. Terjebak di sisi seorang pria yang ditakuti oleh seluruh dunia bawah tanah, Sienna segera menemukan bahwa Viktor jauh lebih dari sekadar pembunuh bayaran. Ia adalah pemimpin yang kuat dan tak kenal ampun dari sebuah kekaisaran Mafia yang menguasai kota dari balik bayangan. Namun Viktor bukan satu-satunya yang menyimpan rahasia. Karena pustakawan pendiam yang ia kira bisa ia kendalikan tidaklah sepolos, atau sebiasa, yang ia tampakkan. Saat musuh-musuh semakin mendekat, pengkhianatan demi pengkhianatan terungkap, dan ketertarikan yang berbahaya menyala di antara sang penawan dan tawanannya, Sienna dan Viktor terseret ke dalam permainan mematikan di mana cinta, obsesi, dan kekuasaan bertabrakan. Dan di dunia yang dibangun di atas kebohongan, ancaman terbesar mungkin adalah rahasia yang mereka simpan satu sama lain.

The Strongest Experiment Enters the World's Elite Academy

And the strongest warriors in human history died without being able to resist. From that day onward, humanity stopped worshipping the gods. They began preparing to kill them. Forbidden experiments were created. Children were turned into weapons. And elite academies were built to raise monsters capable of surpassing humanity itself. Among those monsters exists Leigh Vera— the most successful experiment ever created. But as humanity grows closer to reaching the power of the gods… something beyond the heavens has started watching them again. And this time— it may finally see humanity as a threat.

I have read about 15 chapters from all the 42 chapters published so far. The plot had me glued and before I knew it, I had completed 15 chapters. I love science fiction and this book promises to give something in return maybe like the Philadelphia experiment or time travel. The incidents seem to project towards such an eventuality. The writing quality is ok. A few grammatical errors, however, not interfering with the plot of the story. The stability of updates is apparent as already 42 chapters are published. The story is developing nicely and the world background and the Character designs are well device. All the best , Author!

Start the simulation to kill bugs and live to the peak of life

The real title of the book was [Start simulation to kill bugs, hide until you leave the moving castle](Lord's text) When he woke up, the entire world had transmigrated to another world. Other people would start off by doing quests in the main city or killing monsters in the wild to level up and pick up treasure chests, but Mu Fan had transmigrated to the Cursed Land and faced layers upon layers of undead army. Other people's initial rewards were angels, black dragons, spearmen, elves, or even peasants, but Mu Fan only had a simulator. From then on, Mu Fan started his life simulation: A day later, while the others were still doing quests and killing monsters, Mu Fan had already gotten rid of the bug and escaped from the Legendary building, Moving Castle. A week later, when other people started to build their territories and recruit mercenaries, Mu Fan had already become the City Lord and issued NPC missions. He had also become a grand mage and possessed Mythical Grade equipment. He had occupied a top-notch Dao Foundation Nest and had tens of thousands of undead under him. Moreover, the more he fought, the more undead he had. A month later, when the others were fully fledged and formed teams to attack the city, Mu Fan had already conquered the entire Cursed Land and became the overlord of a region. A year later, when the Immortal Cultivation World broke through the World Barrier and arrived on this mainland, others were still others. Mu Fan had already become the ruler of the mainland and had mastered the 3,000 Great Dao. A concentration camp of imagination!
