At St. Nicholas's Academy, between secret parties and boys with secrets, she's determined as ever to scrounge up every detail possible about the boy who rarely speaks and always hides in the shadows of the hallways.
Christopher Wallace wasn't always this reserved. There was a time when his life was full of friends and laughter. But after enduring as much as he has, he's a mere shadow of who he used to be. As if dealing with problems of his own mind wasn't enough, the new girl won't leave him alone. He keeps expecting her to leave, but she's adamant to stay.
Love conquers all. But can love conquer the darkness and despair in Chris's mind? And more importantly, is love an adequate reason for Aurelia to stay?

Tomorrow's Blues
~"You don't- you don't need me." I stared in shock. This was the first shred of emotion he'd shown since he started avoiding me, and I had no idea how to respond. What was I supposed to say to something like that? So I let myself be honest, and I told him exactly how I felt. "But I do." I almost choked on my words. "I do need you. I can't talk to anybody else. I can't eat. I can't sleep. And I know you know what that's like."~ Liliana is now an orphan. Just 17 years old, she lost her parents in a boating accident and now she must live with her best friend, her best friend's parents and her best friend's brother, Joseph.

Chains Made Of Silk (Completed)
Aurelia was once a nameless maid-obedient, quiet, invisible. But years of servitude taught her one truth: power doesn't belong to those who inherit it. It belongs to those willing to bleed for it. One night, she seized it. She slaughtered the royal family, took the crown, and made herself Queen. The only one she spared? Seraphina-the former princess, now a prisoner in her own palace. Once her mistress, now her captive. Once her dream, now her regret. But history between them runs deeper than anyone suspects. Before rebellion, before betrayal... there were glances. Secrets. Longing. And something dangerous neither of them dared name. Now, with Seraphina under house arrest and Aurelia sitting on a throne drenched in blood, their story begins again-not as ruler and servant, but as two monsters shaped by love, obsession, and the cost of freedom. Maybe she wanted the crown. Maybe she just wanted her. Maybe... she wanted both. ⚠️ Content Warning: dark romance, manipulation, obsession, murder, power imbalance, confinement > More of this chaos?
