Checkmate (Sequel to Game On) by Vampiewontchange

A set of chess stands at my bedside table, the white row perfectly in line while one of the black knights already moved. I furrow my eyebrows at the wrongdoing but then remind myself of one thing; he doesn't play by the rules. Picking up the small letter in the middle of the checkerboard, I keep the creeping fear at bay and read the four words followed by his signature, surprisingly neatly written. "Prepare to be checkmated - Nick."

Chameleon by Garyorchard

The Ministry of Defence's most closely guarded secret - and their most dangerous operative - has disappeared, leaving behind grisly evidence that their control of his extraordinary capabilities has been lost. Harry Payne, long retired Government telepath is reactivated and ordered to find him. Twenty years earlier, 'Do you play chess?' was the calling card of a serial killer whose identity was never discovered. Now, after an unscrupulous pornographer is gruesomely murdered, Detective Inspector Bannerman must re-open the files. The pieces are scattered on the chessboard, but now one of the pawns is missing, or has it merely changed its shape? DO YOU PLAY CHESS? Charlie does, but then, he can do almost anything.

The Blindfolded Majesty by nerd_positive

Hidden behind those red blindfolds, were curious eyes that once saw the world, soaked it's hue and carried dreams like every other girl. Gandhari, mother of 101 kids, sister of Shakuni but most importantly, she was yet another bird shackled by rules. We read about people who break rules and come out of their condition but this story is about a person who learns to accept her fate as she moves ahead in her journey of life, sometimes molding herself whilst other times finding leeway. •❅─────✧❅✦❅✧─────❅• "Gandhari, you have changed." My brother said in a heavy tone, his eyes carrying an unknown guilt. "Maybe because now I have been trained for every action I take." I mumbled out the truth. •❅─────✧❅✦❅✧─────❅• This book is fiction not everything is according to Mahabharata, please refrain from pointing that events are not matching. Only the characters are taken from the epic, this book can be read even without much information regarding Mahabharata. This work is an original work. Please refrain from using this somewhere else.

The Beast by xwriteratheartxo

HANNAH I've spent my entire twenty-one years on this earth in the background. Walked over by friends. Family. Strangers. And I didn't see a problem with it; I'd rather nobody pay attention to me. It was safer that way. Easier. Until I got the wrong kind of attention. Lev Somov caught me running from an impromptu crime I was committing against my ex-boyfriend, and in that moment, he somehow decided I was worth giving his attention to. All the bad kinds of attention. Next thing I know, he's watching over me, hijacking my job and becoming my client. And then he takes things above a level I never thought possible. He is a monster, incapable of feeling any type of remorse or guilt for anyone and anything, including me. All I can hope for is that I make it out of this obsession alive. LEV This life wasn't meant for me, but now that he's gone, it's mine for the taking. And no one is going to stop me. I've shown my loyalty through blood, and I make no plans to change my future. Especially not for the little kukolka I found stumbling into the wrong alleyway. I'll take my time before I break her. And then, the Dynasty will be mine.

Bad Boy's Game by beautifultragedies

He lit his cigarette, I lit nothing. He drank alcohol, I drank water. He smirked, I smiled. He didn't love me, I didn't love him. He and I together wouldn't last a day. And then the game started... He said he found me intriguing, unique, and interesting because I didn't swoon over him. "You and me Grey, let's play a game. We'll date and in three months time I promise you will fall for me. When you fall in love with me between that time span, I win. If in any way you were to win I'll give up all the alcohol, cigarettes, and player ways." It was a game I wasn't willing to lose, but all games had accidents and consequences. It takes a broken heart to know how to break a heart.

The Life Roulette by ZeenSheen

Life is unpredictable, much like a roulette wheel, where outcomes are influenced by chance, circumstances, and decisions. People perceive it in two main ways: some see it as governed by fate and luck, while others believe it is shaped by their actions and choices.

Killer Darlings by Valentinaxwritezz

This story begins where another ends-with a death. Love doesn't bloom here in innocence; it ignites in the ashes of loss. Virat Singh Bedi, Ritu Singhania, and Heer Singhania are caught in a web of fate so twisted, it refuses to be unraveled. Virat and Ritu were in love, on the brink of becoming one-until tragedy struck. On the night of their engagement, Ritu is ruthlessly murdered. Her killer remains a ghost, but Virat-fierce in love, relentless in revenge-sets his soul ablaze to uncover the truth. In his hunt for vengeance, Virat storms into Heer's life-Ritu's sister-and she becomes collateral in a war she never chose. Their marriage is forced, stitched together by grief and secrets. Yet somehow, love finds a way to creep in. But fate is a cruel mistress-it never lets lovers rest. Not all players are visible. Some puppeteers remain in the shadows, twisting the game moment by moment. In this world of shifting loyalties and deadly truths, the price of love is blood-and survival is never promised. So step into this murderous season of love-where hearts collide, secrets kill, and only the dead stay loyal.

The Piece System by emxlycolton

There is no true winner. Only fear. Only cowardice. And only one way out. -------- Chess, the ancestor's game. Which of them thought it would be a good idea to model society off its pieces, Jake would never know. If he had a time machine, he'd use it to throw every chessboard into a fire. Because now the world was ruined and no matter how many rebellions he led, nothing worked. So he quit. But a determined young woman set on finding the mysterious killer within the Rebellion isn't about to let him. Do they hate each other? Yes. Will she give up on him? Not a chance. word count: 100K status: pre-written, edited, beta-read and completed update schedule: daily

Of Kings and Aces by ClaireMonday2468

What does it take to change the course of a person's life? One small, seemingly trivial decision. For Jacob, it was when he decided to play a game of poker in a new city he was supposed to call home for the next few years. But he was at the wrong place, at the wrong time. For Ace, it was when he drove to a different city in the middle of the night to collect an employee from a police station. A man he believed he's never even met but whose eyes had already imprinted on him a few nights prior. Two people, brought together by simple decisions that rippled and entwined them. Two decisions that landed them as indispensable pieces in a wild game of chess against each other. One night. One game. One web of deception that led to a series of life-changing lethal events. One goal: to protect their king. ♤♡♧♢
