Beyond The Closed Case by AsmaIkram5

But returning to her childhood home for the summer, Megan stumbles upon a forgotten box in the attic - photographs, letters, and memories that refuse to remain buried. As she flips through the images of her and Maddie, the girl she knew so intimately, a gnawing doubt begins to take hold: Maddie could never have taken her own life. The official investigation called it suicide, but nothing about the story fits the Maddie Megan remembers. The smiles, the words, the grief on display - all feel rehearsed, hollow, and wrong. As Megan retraces the final days of her best friend's life, she begins to uncover secrets hidden beneath layers of lies and whispers of betrayal. The deeper Megan digs, the more dangerous the path becomes. Maddie didn't die by her own hand - someone ensured she never returned. And now, the questions Megan dares to ask threaten to unravel the lives around her, revealing a darkness that has been waiting patiently in the shadows. But how far would you go to uncover a truth that could destroy everything you thought you knew - and what would you do if the person responsible was closer than you ever imagined?

The Badass Nerd by random_quills

"What the hell did you do!?" I heard a feminine voice behind me. I groaned and turned around to meet a very angry face. I have never seen a girl this pissed before and honestly speaking, I am a little bit afraid. "She knew what she was getting into. Everyone knows I am player and I never stick to one girl." I shrugged and turned around to walk away. I didn't even take one step when I felt a firm hand on my t-shirt. She took a fist full of my shirt and turned me around so I was facing her. She then held my collar. Damn, she is almost the same height as me and if I would have been any normal guy, I would be terrified of her. "You don't treat girls like trash, asshole. She has feelings, she is not some toy that you got bored from after playing for a while. Apologize to her." She said through gritted teeth pointing towards Leah who was crying her eyes out. I noticed the crowd that started forming around us. I shrugged her hand away from my t-shirt and glared at her. "I will not apologize to anyone." I said slowly through gritted teeth. She is starting to piss me off. No one clashes me and no one stands against me. Even though I am new here, everyone knows that. I saw her eyes go blank and before I could duck, her fist made contact with my face and I felt sharp pain coursing through my nose. I held my nose tight and felt warm liquid flowing to my lips. Olivia Claire is a 16 year old high scholar. She is a fighter who never took anyone's shit and is famous for it. She mostly minds her own business occasionally helping people that might need her. Carter Grayson is a 16 year old guy recently transferred to Olivia's high school. Tall, handsome guy with lean figure, hazel eyes, brown hair and smile to die for. He has been known to be a player in his last high school and he plans on continuing that identity. So, what happens when a typical bad boy clashes with a not-so-nerd bad girl.

DECEPTION by Joyfavouromeni

Deception Ellie Brown has it all-beauty, power, and a legacy built on diamonds. As the CEO of Diamond Glow, she is the epitome of strength and success, but beneath her flawless exterior lies a heart weighed down by secrets, betrayals, and a family that sees her as both an asset and a rival. Her own brother harbors a grudge so deep that he vows to take everything from her. Her mother, ever calculating, demands a marriage that Ellie refuses to entertain. And then there's the past-buried truths that threaten to unravel everything she's built. Ryan Adams is a man living in the shadows of grief. Six years ago, he lost his sister and the woman he loved in a single, tragic moment. His father never forgave him. He never forgave himself. Now, drawn into a business deal with Ellie, he finds himself face-to-face with a woman who challenges him, intrigues him-and reminds him of everything he swore he'd never want again. Neither of them believes in love. Neither of them trusts easily. But when fate forces them into each other's orbit, tangled in a web of corporate battles, hidden enemies, and forbidden emotions, the line between business and desire begins to blur. But deception lurks in the shadows. The past is never truly buried, and the deeper they fall, the more dangerous the truth becomes. In a world where betrayal is currency and love is a liability, can two scarred souls defy the odds-or will the ghosts of their pasts tear them apart?

Forever Bonded (Complete) by HeidiJones6

Not even who her parents are or what happened to them. Her foster family doesn't make life any easier. She just needs to work hard, finish this last year of high school, and then get away with a scholarship. She keeps to herself, mostly. Thankfully, the colors that people emanate help her stay away from the really bad ones. But that is a secret she intends to keep to herself. Grayson hasn't given up searching for the love of his life, even though everyone else has. He knows she's still alive, because he feels her. Her fear and her pain. He's determined to find her and bring her home, even when she doesn't remember him or their life together. They are forever bonded.
