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>The cobbled streets were lined with shadows as Lenny, dressed in a flowing gown adorned with lace, embarked on her quest for answers. For the second day in a row, she had set out to find her benefactor, the man who had just broken her heart in a matter of a few moments. Her questioning was just another excuse to see him, her thoughts seemed to have betrayed her. Her dark red hair, elegantly styled, caught the occasional glimmer as she moved with purpose. She was dressed as though she could win him over all over again.</p>

<p>Nicholas, ever the polished figure in his attire, cut through the dimly lit street, unaware of her presence. The tails of his coat swayed with each step, and his boots clicked against the cobblestones. Lenny's heart fluttered at the sight, a mixture of anticipation and dread from just his coat. </p>
