Melenially

⚠️This is a sequel to an ongoing book (Nicholas Vials; The Case Of Michael Vials)⚠️

Baldwin James Alburn, the only living heir to the Alburn family, is the definition of upright and moral. It's just that corruption is only a fire fueled by events that erode one's conscience. 

From his sacrifices for Emberline and his efforts to better the world and the duty he holds to uphold the Alburn name. There still remains a yearning for revenge. A bloodthirsty, scolding, cold desire. 

Nicholas Vials, on the other hand, is the definition of deceit and opportunism. His actions suggest that he doesn't plan on improving his repute. However, he has taken on a path of great peril. To take away the authority from those trying to kill him.

And to find Emberline. 

Yet, neither Baldwin nor Nicholas wield control over their schemes. Like grains of sand in a desert, time slips through their fingers, leaving them grasping for control in a world where nothing is as it seems. Their only hope lies in uncovering the undisclosed—a secret that may hold the key to their salvation or seal their fate forever.

Or perhaps it is hidden in plain sight

Unkept Promises

<p>He was not the one to accept helplessness. He had taken a few things to heart but had also promised to take them to the grave. He had decided to let go of his activities for the rest of the day, he wasn't much interested in the ritualistic conversations of the common room. He instead stood in front of the house of Professor Charles. His hand rested on the door, debating whether to knock or not.</p>

<p>For a while, he wondered if he was foolish enough to believe his self-made theory. Maybe he was, he wouldn't know unless he found out. His dark brown hair now turned a hue of golden under the sunlight. He planted gentle knocks on the door, hoping they would magically open before his presence but they never did. He waited, wanting the Professor to open the door but he didn't. He decided it was best to take his next course of action.</p>
