Ayana Zuri does not lose. Not because she's lucky or untouchable. But because she learned a long time ago that if she worked harder than everyone else, if she thought faster, if she stayed colder, then nobody would ever get close enough to hurt her again. Five years ago, she decided she was done being the girl who trusted too easily. Done with distractions. Done with relationships. Done with confusing attention for love. So she rebuilt herself into someone unreachable. Law school. Discipline. Structure. No drinking. No dating. No unnecessary attachments. Success became the only thing she allowed herself to want. And it worked. Now she's exactly where she's supposed to be-top of her class, impossible to ignore, and now standing in a courtroom for the first case of her career. Her first chance to prove she belongs. It should've been a simple win. And yet... unbeknownst to her, she's walked into the circle of a man who has never once trusted chance to deliver what he could take for himself. _______ Some men are born powerful. Van Seo de Montclair was born inevitable. Raised between Monaco's old stone buildings, private terraces, and conversations held behind closed doors, Van grew up in a world where influence never announced itself-it simply reigned. From an early age, he learned that attention was expensive and mistakes were remembered. He grew into the kind of man who understood outcomes before conversations happened. A strategist by instinct. So why... No... how did this lawyer with a sharp mouth and an inability to leave things unfinished manage to force a result he never intended? To Van, people had always been pawns-pieces moved by desire, fear, ambition, and timing. And so was she. Until she wasn't. Until she looked at a finished game and chose not to play by his rules. And now... until he gets what he wants, he'll make sure she has no choice but to look back. Prosecutor X Predator. May the hunt begin.

When Two Opposites Attract

Maya Kingston has one rule this year: don't mess up. After a scandal nearly destroys her future, she transfers to Kimbell University determined to prove she's more than the reckless twin living in her brother's shadow. If she can raise her grades and keep her head down, her father might finally give her a place in the family empire. There's just one problem. Adam Lockhart. Brilliant. Isolated. An outcast. He's the rough among the diamonds and they always remind him. When the university assigns him as her tutor, Adam makes one thing clear: he doesn't tutor Kingstons. Maya quickly learns that at Kimbell, last names carry weight and some grudges run deeper than she ever imagined. Forced into each other's orbit, Maya and Adam collide in a war of pride, secrets, and dangerous attraction. Because the more she tries to prove she's changed, the more she realises that the past isn't done with her. And Adam might be the one person who won't let her forget it. He's broken in ways no one can see, and she's far too beautiful for him to scar Main Prompt: Prompt 46: We love broken, beautiful people. And it doesn't get more obviously broken and more classically beautiful than you. Other: Prompt 78: You begin to realise nothing is quite what it seems. *** Jedayo. ©2026.

Naomi Brooks is eighteen and just beginning to figure out who she wants to be. Between college, her friends, and her family, she's slowly building a life of her own. She isn't looking for love, and she definitely isn't looking for anything that could complicate the future she's only just starting to imagine. Then there's Elliot Kingsley. Twenty-one, confident, charming, and the son of a man who owns one of the city's biggest companies. Elliot grew up with wealth, expectations, and a family name that comes with its own rules. Naomi and Elliot have nothing in common. At least, that's what they think. Until one family dinner changes everything.

Malika Danai is pressure. Friendly, social, and loved by all, Malika thrives in college and is often seen as a mirage - seemingly real and attainable but disappears when approached. She's a party girl to the core. Loves to drink, flirt, and explore with her best friends, Ayana and Isabella. Her beauty is undeniable. With curly black hair cascading over her shoulders and golden-brown skin that glows no matter where she's at, Malika's presence is impossible to ignore. Her dark brown eyes often sparks with mischief, and her full two-toned lips often curves into teasing grins that hints at secrets she rarely shares. Malika excels at a lot of things but she was never the study type. She prayed the night before exams and hoped that her grades would at least give her a passing score and somehow, that always worked. Until now... Her grades are barely holding on- good enough to pass, but not good enough for a sorority like the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA). She wants to join. No she needs to. It's the only way she can prove to her mother that she's worth it. And she'll do whatever it takes. Even if it means casting her pride aside to get help from the boy who loathes her existence. Meanwhile... Theo Sinclair is a weapon. An academic weapon that nobody can beat. Coming from an old money family where the expectations and bars are set high, Theo surpasses them all and is often pushed towards greatness by his family. Yet he has a big flaw: boredom. Because of his uncaring attitude towards everything and everyone around him, Theo is often alone. Deliberately avoiding attention and validation from peers; he thrives in the silence and rhythm of his own scheduled routines. He has only one rule; 'Never let myself feel things I can't control.' To him, parties are ratchet and vile. An enigma vastly contrasting his reverence for solitude, silence, and carefully ordered thoughts. So when he's pushed into an unwanted arrangement, he resents the intrusion because slowly, his rule...
