His mistress
Loving him was the cruelest kind of torment-a love that lived in the shadows, one that could never bask in the warmth of the sun. I was nothing more than a stolen moment, a whispered name in the dark, a secret he tucked away between the life he had built and the one he wished he could have. I knew, deep down, that I was a fracture in his story, a fleeting escape from the weight of his reality. And yet, I still clung to him, to the illusion that for a few precious hours, he was mine. But the truth was relentless-it came in the form of unanswered texts, in the way he dressed hurriedly after loving me, in the way he said her name with the same tenderness he once gave me. I had given him my heart, knowing he would never be able to keep it, and yet, I loved him still. Loved him as I watched him walk away, loved him as he returned to the arms of the woman he truly belonged to, loved him as I drowned in the loneliness he left behind. Because no matter how much I wished it to be different, I was not his home-I was just a place he visited before going back to where his heart truly lived.Concluida
The Price of Innocence

Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places.

Sleight of Hand [Show 'em Who's Boss #1]
Two people sit in a dimly lit room playing a deadly game of fate. What led them to this game and who will win? We all have secrets that we don't want anyone to know; even ones we keep from the people we're closest to. When a dark secret is unlocked, Ebony Williams turns against her absurdly rich father, refusing to listen to his persistent reasoning and pathetic excuses. What he's done is wrong and unforgivable. Rather than just running away from home, over-confident Ebony plans to get her own back by scamming her father out of his entire fortune with the help of her not-so-perfect boyfriend and one of her father's biggest rivals. (This was previously called Show 'em Who's Boss.)Concluida

And someone used her credentials to access the vault. She's being framed - and Monet knows it. Biochemistry students connected to Seraphina's program are disappearing. The compound found in the victims was part of a neurological augmentation study shut down years ago - a project infamous for unethical experimentation. Someone brought it back.

And the more Monet risks everything - his job, his ethics, his carefully constructed life - to keep her safe.
All Started With A Case
Ten years. A decade stripped away behind concrete and steel, all because of a lie whispered on the stand. He walked out of the prison gates not as the promising, middle-class boy who loved his girlfriend, but as a ghost, a man aged by undeserved vengeance, his only compass the memory of that last, glittering high school prom. He remembered the police lights bleeding into the carnival music, the whispers turning into screams, and the feel of the cold steel bracelet snapping around his wrist. He was framed for the murder of the girl he adored, a perfect life shattered by the cruel, calculated perjury of one man: Professor Paul. The city had changed, but He hadn't. He'd just become sharper, quieter, and infinitely more dangerous. The debt was due. Professor Paul was finally going to pay for the decade he lost. The plan was simple: leverage. The most precious commodity, his daughter. His freedom, still tainted by a decade of prison grime, was now tethered to the very family he intended to destroy. The game was no longer about kidnapping. It was about the truth, and the cost was going to be everything. The final reckoning starts now.Concluida
