Every man on death row claims he's innocent...
Only in Thoman O'brine's case, it's true. Having spent twenty years behind bars for the double murder of his wife and her lover. He's now escaped and is determined to earn his shot at redemption. He wants to find what's left of his family- his estranged daughter, Claire, who was the primary witness for the prosecution, decades before.

But the killer who was responsible for the gruesome death of O'brien's wife has no intention of letting O'Brien clear his name. In fact, his blood is boiling at the thought of a loose end coming back to haunt him after all these years... and his fingers are twitching to torment again. Now, with a murderer close on his heels, and FBI Agent Mitch Bianchi hot on his trail, O'Brien must earn his daughter's trust, even as he races to prove his innocence - before the real killer strikes again.All Rights Reserved

My Seven by DanniDana8

"Hi, I'm Noa." Glancing to my right, I realized the girl was sitting next to me. "Um, I'm Delaney." "Nice to meet you. It's nice to finally have another girl to talk to. I've been stuck with these assholes here for three years." "What, did they kidnap you too?" At that, everyone turned to me and it was quiet again. Tyde, of course, looked pissed. I was beginning to think he was mad all the time. "Actually no. Enzo is my boyfriend and I moved here with them when my parents died." Oh, that's awkward. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have-" "No, no. It's okay. I understand. It probably seems like that but I'm definitely here willingly." She laughed awkwardly, trying to break the silence. I snorted, "well that makes one of us." ------ Delaney Withers' father was killed 5 years ago and her world was flipped upside down. Having to quit school and help her mother take care of her younger brother and sister, she thought her life couldn't get any worse. That is until, her life is flipped once more by seven people.

In a world of crime and betrayal, survival isn't just about strength it's about knowing who to trust.

Through Blood and Fire by TrashPanda137

Blair Evermore: a simple kid with a complicated life. With a brother that would do anything for her and two FBI agents for parents, she doesn't have the safest life. She was never the first to volunteer her parents for career day, and "bring your child to work" was a foreign concept. But she liked it that way. She didn't know any different. Blair was content with the way things were, because even though they were distant, she always knew her parents loved her. But all that changed on her nineth birthday. That's when she experienced the hardest year anyone could imagine. One month that felt like a lifetime. A week full of tears and sorrow. And one day that changed her life forever. October 27th, the day her parents died. Killed during a last-minute undercover job, Amanda and Bryan Evermore were prepared for the inevitable. That didn't make it any easier for their children though. Grayson and Blair's whole world turned upside down. Neither of them knew what to do, but they coped the best they could. Now, seven years later, Grayson is missing. Without any leads or witnesses, the FBI is having trouble finding him. That was until Blair got involved. With a letter from her parent's murderers, another from Grayson's potential kidnappers, and a whole lot of will power, she leads her new-found FBI buddies through riddles, secrets, and puzzles, gathering as much information as they can to get justice for her family. She knew exactly what she was going to do once they found the people who destroyed her all those years ago. She would make them pay. But sometimes what we plan doesn't always work out quite right. ************************* Started:1/1/2023 Finished: 9/26/2024 © 2023 Taylor Sassone Cover by my amazing sister @owlhootsburger13

I'm Always Right by MdGolamMohiuddin

Ten years ago, Ayushmann walked away from everything - his family, his friends, and Barikha, the woman he thought he'd love forever. He left without a real explanation, just a short, cryptic note that probably raised more questions than answers. Now, after a decade, he's back. He doesn't know what he's expecting - maybe forgiveness, maybe just a chance to set things right. His family welcomes him like he never left, their love is unchanged with time. Old friends still remember him, though the years have changed them all. But it's Barikha's story that hits the hardest. Through his best friend Moein, he got to know about Barikha, She's a widow now. Worse, she's accused of killing her rich husband. The whole town believes it. The evidence points straight at her. But Ayushmann, he's not convinced. He turns to an old friend, Vikash Shekhawat, now a renowned CBI officer, hoping to get to the truth. Together, they start digging, pulling at threads that no one else dared to touch. Secrets spill out, one after another - about Barikha's marriage, about the man she was with, about the lies people tell to protect themselves. But the closer they get, the messier it becomes. Did Barikha really do it? And if she did... why? If she didn't, then who's hiding the real truth? And maybe the hardest question of all - can Ayushmann and Barikha find their way back to each other after everything? Or are some things broken beyond repair? This is a story about love, regret, and the past catching up when you least expect it. Copyright © 2025 MdGolamMohiuddin
