A friend To Remember.
**** Money. Wealth. Fame. Power. They have it all. But beneath the glitz and glamour lies something far more sinister. Denise never imagined that her past was a lie. That twelve years ago, her life had been stolen from her. Growing up in the slums of Lagos, she learned not to dream-dreams didn't belong to people like her. All she wanted was a way out, a job to pull her and her sister out of poverty. But when the truth comes crashing down, her simple existence is ripped apart. She isn't just another struggling girl-she is the long-lost daughter of one of Nigeria's wealthiest families. And they want her back. Thrown into a world of untold riches, Denise is expected to adjust, to play her part in a life she never knew existed. But not all that glitters is gold. Her twin sister despises her, her new family is drowning in secrets, and the mystery of her kidnapping looms over her like a dark shadow. To make things worse, Bellrich Academy-the elite school she now attends-is a battlefield of ruthless rich teens, social hierarchies, and cruel mind games. And lurking beneath it all? A serial killer picking off students one by one. In this world, failure is not an option. Survival means navigating deadly secrets, deadly people, and deadly truths. Because in the world of the elite, the most dangerous thing Denise can be-is unprepared.Complete

Jasmine: The Tales of Third Little Sister
- An Untold Story PREFACE The story depicts a girl named Jasmine and the tales of her life from the age of 5 to 25. This story gives values about true friendship. It even tells how a girl who is shifted to another town at the age of 10 with her two elder sisters, spending 15 years there without any contact with family. How she is, and how she became a star without any help from anyone. This story is even suspicious in some cases when she is shown in a different age and profession and her storyline always changes in different chapters. Her two elder sisters never had any problem with her and had always supported her in any situation. She had a best friend who was like a sister to her. They had always been together, even in a different city. She is the true personality of determination who just left her family for her dreams. But that is not the end! This story not only gives us values but also gives an amazing theory. Jasmine is a dream character of the author who has come in her dreams since last few years. As the story is based on Jasmine, she is someone in real life who has a different name in this world, and of a different age and profession, but the same qualities, blood group and even date of birth as Jasmine. This story shows how Jasmine is connected to most of us, who is an actual person in real life, alive. The purpose of authoring this story is to find the real person whom the author knows but she is not able to recall who Jasmine is from a few years ago. NOTE: The story of Jasmine who is far away from her parents without contact can be different in some cases in chapters. This story is fictional, interesting and can even be enjoyed by children and adults. Let's read this story to know more about Jasmine and her tales, and to find out who she is in real life...Complete
