It was a dream, no, a nightmare. It had to be! 
***
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭10:12‬ ‭
[12] Therefore let the one who thinks he stands firm [immune to temptation, being overconfident and self-righteous], take care that he does not fall [into sin and condemnation].

Elena Graves finds herself in an oddly sticky situation. She's just been punished by the Vice Chancellor for something apparently so silly... with a death penalty. In 2022! In this day and age. When did punishments become so ancient?
As she struggles to understand her dilemma while trying to escape it, she discovers shocking confessions from people she thought she knew... unbelievable confessions. Things she probably would never have known if her death penalty wasn't made public to the entire college. 

Follow Elena in the weirdly dramatic, unbelievably real twist in her life as she discovers that she wasn't the person, or the Christian she thought she was, discovers past secrets that shock her...  make her truly doubt if she is worth living.

Love Penalty by DramaQueenforreal

COMPLETED✅ The punishment for murder is the death penalty, what about love? "Innocent until proven otherwise" Does this apply to matters of the heart? A story in which a lawyer ends up defending an inmate convicted of rape and second degree murder- that he claims he never did. Is he guilty? Is he innocent? Most importantly, is it morally acceptable to fall in love with an alleged murderer and rapist, let alone a client of hers? ❣️❣️❣️ Excerpt: When his shirt is dangling from his hand with him lifting it up towards his face to wear it, I snatch it from his hands. Throw it on the table beside me and grab his neck with one hand and my other traces his defined abs, and kiss him with full force. I thought he might pull away, saying he doesn't feel the same way towards me and I'm just his lawyer. That we're adults and need to refrain from acting like hormonally-driven teenagers. On the contrary -to my surprise - he kisses me back with the same amount of intensity and passion. One hand is on the side of my face and the other is holding me by the waist. We both taste like waffles and fresh strawberries and it's not something to complain about. Only when we're both out of breaths, we pull away, he smiles against me "What was that for?" He asks with his both hands on my waist now. "I've been meaning to do that for a while now" I truthfully answer his question. He has been on my mind 24/7 non stop from the moment I took his case. ❣️❣️❣️ *contains mature themes. *contains swearing. 8/3/2020 -> #1 in OnTrialForMurder #2 in notmeanttobe 8/8/2020 -> #3 in wtfamidoing 10/16/2021 -> #13 in fml 7/20/2021 -> #1 in ihateeverything 10/10/2021 -> #39 in mixedfeelings 4/18/2022 -> #1 in prison #2 in murder #1 in lawyer #1 in damaged

Astraea by LenoreGrace

Am I . . . In love? Camilla asked herself incredulously. Is this what love feels like? That burning sensation akin to the feeling I had when I wanted to snap his neck a few months back? I feel like I'm being torn apart . . . * * * He had gone searching for true love, but she returned alone . . . with a bloody wedding ring wrapped in her fist, and his crown atop her head. She had gone searching for justice, but had not expected justice to be pursuing her. In a land still young enough to rely on the aid of the gods, Camilla makes it her mission to bring the family who murdered her brother to justice, even if it means sacrificing some of her own morals along the way. When she realizes no one is willing to help her or her cause, Camilla begins to wonder whether seeking justice is the right thing to do at all, as it seems to lead to a never ending cycle of unwarranted vengeance. Soon, Camilla finds herself laying down all her associations to the law of the land, and seeking out new ways to tear apart the family that caused her so much pain before her time is up and Camilla herself is called to justice.

I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent.
