River Dawson and her best friend David Harkness have known each other their entire lives. They are like brother and sister, and they were very happy when they were both chosen to go to the same location for their job. They can't say their job or what they do to anyone other than who else works there. Or they, and whoever they tell will die. If they refuse to do the job, and try to leave, they will be caught and killed. River and David know that, and it makes things very difficult for them down the road, knowing they will never see their families again. They meet new people along the way, and see how cruel people can be to kill without a second glance, and torture innocent people, just for the fun of it. Will River and David make it out alive? Or will bad decisions cause an early, pain filled death for them? Only one way to find out.

Marrying The Wrong Twin!
# Prologue **Two Years Ago** The music is too loud. I can't stop laughing. "Becky, slow down," Irin says. Someone stops me from reaching for another drink. Saint's twin. Freen. "I think you've had enough." "Where's Saint?" I slur. "Work emergency," she says quietly. The room spins. I stumble toward the exit. Three guys block my path, saying disgusting things. Freen steps in front of me. "She's with me. Back off." They don't listen until security comes. In her car, everything's fuzzy. Her gentle hands helping me to the door. Waiting while I fumble with keys. When I turn to thank her, she's so close. Gold flecks in her dark eyes. The kiss happens before I can think. Soft. Perfect. I pull away, mumbling apologies. She backs into the shadows. I stumble inside and pass out. **The Next Morning** Saint calls early. "Beck, I'm so sorry about last night. Are you okay?" "What do you mean?" "The guys bothering you. I'm so glad I could help you get away from them." I frown. "You were there?" "Of course. I couldn't let anything happen to you. I was so worried when I saw those guys cornering you. Thank God I got you home safely." My head hurts too much to think clearly. "Thank you." "You don't remember much, do you? You were pretty drunk. That's probably for the best. Just know that I'll always protect you, Beck." Warmth spreads through my chest. Saint saved me. Saint protected me. That's when I fall in love with him. **Present Day** I'm staring at my reflection in the wrinkled wedding dress. "Becky? The car is here." The car to take me to marry the wrong twin. Saint left me at the altar this morning. Gone. Now I have to marry Freen. The woman who barely speaks to me. Who avoids me. I don't understand why she dislikes me so much. In an hour, I'll marry someone who can't even look me in the eye. Someone who isn't Saint.Complete

Without A Title
Some stories don't need a name. Just two hearts finding their way. When Becky's world falls apart-her fiancé cheating with her cousin, her future unraveling in a single moment-she doesn't expect the quietest person in the room to become her loudest support. Freen has always admired Becky from a distance. Confident, driven, and untouchable... until now. One night, one unexpected act of kindness, and a twist of fate pull them into a connection neither of them saw coming. As Becky faces an unplanned pregnancy and a future she never imagined, Freen stays by her side-not as a savior, but as something deeper. Something real. Through stolen glances, late-night talks, and unspoken moments, the lines between friendship and something more begin to blur. This isn't a love story with grand gestures or perfect timing. It's about choosing someone when it matters most. Even if you don't have the right words for it yet.Complete![Her Dirty Secret [Down Draft]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/2292638-256-k996411.jpg)

They want her to live with them, with their pack of wolves, but she doesn't want to, can't, for many reasons. See the problem? And her goal in life, for almost a year, had been to find an important person, but she isn't even sure if this person is still alive. What will she decide to do with her life?

Hate Me Closer (FreenBecky)
Freen and Becky are both ambitious college students studying law at the same prestigious Royal Thai School of Law. They come from very different backgrounds, but share a fierce drive to succeed in their field. Freen, confident and assertive, often gives off an air of arrogance. She believes she's superior, not just in intellect but also in social status. Becky, on the other hand, is equally intelligent, but she has a strong sense of humility. She's hardworking and a little more reserved, which makes her view Freen's confidence as self-importance. Their rivalry is intense. Every group project, class discussion, and social interaction seems to escalate into arguments. Their debates and fights often spill into the hallways, making them infamous on campus. They have a constant back-and-forth-one day Becky insults Freen's way of thinking, the next day Freen criticizes Becky's lack of self-confidence. Neither can stand the other, and neither can back down. It's more than just competition-it's personal. However, when their parents announce that they're getting married. Both girls are blindsided by the news. Becky is furious, feeling betrayed by her mother for marrying Freen's father, and the idea of having to live with Freen, her sworn enemy, feels unbearable. Freen, though outwardly calm, is equally shocked and annoyed.Complete
