[2022 Wattys Shortlist] [2023 Wattpad Editors' Choice] Previously "Wicked Lies"

Melissa Hale, daughter of Senator Hale, was murdered. Christopher Williams, one of her classmates at NYU, is being framed for it.

Isabela del Rey, a young lawyer working at one of the top law firms in New York, is determined to help him, even if it means having to solve the mystery herself. However, once she starts digging too deep, she finds herself playing cat-and-mouse with the real murderer.

Add a complicated office romance, a dark past in Mexico that's starting to catch up with her, and another client who just killed his father and with whom she has some history, and you might get the perfect mess.

The One Without Words by destacia
53 parts Complete
"Go ahead," I said, backing up against the pink wall of the shop. "Do something other than glare at me." I waited. One, two, three seconds... and nothing. I raised my chin at him. "You're boring me, mute boy." He stepped closer. Leaned toward me as his gaze burned into mine. Then... ❀ ❀ ❀ After three months in juvenile detention, it's time for Romy Pereira to help out with her family's flower shop. And it's not all bad... until they hire Jack Michel to work beside her. He doesn't speak, communicating with glares and scowls instead of words, and seems to be more interested in literal rocks than other human beings. And with an ex-convict mother, her friends drifting away, and the flower shop falling apart, the last thing Romy wants to deal with is Jack's attitude. She'll forever praise the day he screws up big time and gets himself fired, but until that day comes, it's mostly one cold-hearted girl, her silent (but still infuriating) coworker, and a whole lot flowers.

Unforgettable by blue842

All I was asking for were directions, instead I got a bad boy to annoy the heck out of. Who am I you ask? Well, I'm Sydney Carson and I'm the girl the bad boy of Dayton High hates. At least that's what he keeps on telling himself. And, who may this bad boy be? The one and only Jeremy Lloyd. You heard right folks. The guy with the British accent, dreamy gray eyes, brown tousled hair, and a six pack you could only dream of touching. *whispers* If any one asks, you didn't hear that last part from me. What did I do to make the bad boy hate me? Well, lets just say that I follow him everywhere 24/7, I pull off some pranks here and there, but mostly, I annoy him. I just wanted a friend. He just wanted me to leave him alone. I was stubborn. He was irritated. What made us stick by each other? Let's just say there's more to this story than you think.

A criminal mastermind makes a bold move against a wealthy client to put himself in a position to retire in comfort. He has no idea what he's up against when a young widow, desperate to make ends meet, sets her eyes on earning the bounty set on his head. *** Newly widowed housewife Melody Scott needs to earn some major cash, fast. When her bright and busy children learn that a priceless ruby bracelet has been stolen and a six-figure reward is being offered, they convince her to try to do what the police, museum security, and the best private investigators have failed to do. Working against them is a notorious thief who has met people from around the world, but who has never once encountered a woman like Melody Scott. When the sweet innocence of the Scott family clashes against criminal forces more dangerous than they ever imagined, Melody is all too aware that a mom's got to do what a mom's got to do to protect her family. The Widow, Melody Scott is a 2021 Watty Award Winner! Content Warning: This story does contain depictions of stalking behavior.

Lydia by toomuchtohandle21
7 parts Complete
In small town Hendersonville, North Carolina, there's a time and a place for women to open their mouths. Lydia Grace Abney doesn't care to wait on that time or that place. She walks through life without any shoes on, dirt on her skin, and wind-blown hair. Some might say she gets her classless qualities from being raised with all boys. Others say the devil is doing work in her life and holding her tongue hostage. But Lydia doesn't see anything wrong with her inability to keep her mouth shut. Especially when it comes to the ever-growing racism flooding her small, southern town. She's willing to fight tooth and nail to stand up for what she believes is right-and this particular act catches the eye of someone rather unexpected.
