Steven I'm the best student. Top of my class in everything. It's summer before senior year, but the valedictorian title is mine. I need it. I crave it. I don't have time to play detective with Jeremiah or to worry about the fact his sister is losing her shit and no one else seems to notice. But I agree to help him. And Cassadra distracts me so much I accidentally make my least favorite Cousins resident think she's my girlfriend. He doesn't believe it, of course, so I have to plead my case with her. No one knows what she's been up to lately, must be trouble, when it comes to her it always is. But this is my only chance not to make a fool of myself. We'll just fake date for a few weeks. What could go wrong? Cassandra It's sad how little it took. One minute, I was a reckless teenager drinking tequila with my best friend. All I had to worry about was my parents potential divorce, my older brother having a meltdown and having fun because it was summer. No biggie. And now everything is ruined. I'm ruined. Steven is not high on the list of people I'd go for help, but he'll have to do. It's a good way to keep a close eye on the little investigation he's running with Jere, to make sure he doesn't find out my involvement. I just hope Steven doesn't reveal our ruse if he finds out, he's already paying too much attention to me. Because that's all this is. A lie. A means to an end. I don't love him, I barely like him, I need to keep that in mind. It'll be fine. Just a few weeks. What could go wrong?

The unsolved mystery tormented her for years, she believed that there was more than the court revealed. Now that things are eventually looking up and she has a lead on the case, an intimidating man lurking in the shadows gets in her way. There was nothing soft about him.

Though they start off on the wrong foot, the walls between them soon begin to crack and a reluctant alliance is initiated. With glares turning into secret glances and an irresistible attraction binding them, something more is bound to arise. ◕ ◕ ◕ He smirked, the kind that curled with trouble, and slowly leaned in, his eyes locked on mine, unblinking. My breath hitched as I braced myself against the desk behind me, my fingers curling around the edge. His gaze flicked to my lips, a fleeting loaded glance, before he abruptly turned away stepping back just far enough to make me ache for air. "If you keep this up," he murmured, voice low and edged with heat, "I might just kiss that smart mouth of yours." I pushed off the desk, circling around him, my tone firm but my knees anything but steady. "I'm being serious here." "So am I." There was something darker in his eyes now, something unreadable and electric. My skin tingled with warning. Before I could figure out what had shifted, he moved. ~weekly updates~

4 étudiants. 4 esprits différents. 1 université. Une série de meurtres. À Visper, tout est parfait en apparence. Les résultats. L'image. La réputation. Mais derrière les murs, quelque chose ne va pas. Quand les premiers corps apparaissent, tout le monde regarde ailleurs. Sauf eux. Ils n'auraient jamais dû être mêlés à ça. Ils n'étaient pas faits pour se comprendre. Encore moins pour travailler ensemble. Mais maintenant, ils n'ont plus le choix. Parce qu'à Visper... la vérité est toujours cachée. Et quelqu'un fait tout pour qu'elle le reste.

On the night her mother and brother are killed, she survives by accident AND by decision. Moved across the country under protective relocation, she arrives in New York injured, grieving, and dependant on her estranged father. Her body no longer moves the way it used to with pain replacing certainty. Standing is something she negotiates, not assumes. Nothing is simple anymore. As investigations drag on and the threats shift, she begins to understand that protection is not always benevolent and that survival is negotiated in silence. When she crosses paths with a man whose authority is unmistakable and whose restraint is unsettling, she realises he knows more about her survival than anyone has admitted. What begins as a search for answers becomes something far more dangerous: a connect built not on rescue, but by choice with full knowledge of the cost.

People imagine justice as a destination. A courtroom. A verdict. A pair of handcuffs closing around the correct wrists. Something final. Something clean. They imagine it arrives because systems function. Because institutions remember. Because someone important eventually notices. But cities are not built from justice. They are built from delay. Forms waiting beneath other forms. Complaints waiting beneath other complaints. Names stacked inside databases until urgency becomes paperwork and paperwork becomes silence. Most suffering does not disappear. It waits. It waits inside hospitals. Inside police reports. Inside housing requests. Inside unanswered calls and postponed decisions and investigations marked pending until the people who needed them most become statistics someone else is paid to interpret. Los Angeles contained millions of people. And like every city, it survived by pretending delay was not a form of violence. Until someone disagreed. Until someone began treating every unanswered report as an unpaid debt. Until someone looked at seven sins and saw something far more dangerous than morality. Not evil. Responsibility. This is the story of what happened after justice stopped waiting for permission.
