H.M. Academy
How far would you go to uncover the truth-if the truth could destroy everything you've ever known? Winx grew up believing she was just another student at the prestigious HM Academy, an elite institution known for its discipline, excellence, and mystery. But when secrets start unraveling and shadows from the past resurface, she finds herself in the middle of a deadly legacy-one built on betrayal, manipulation, and blood ties deeper than anyone imagined. Haunted by questions of identity, love, and loyalty, Winx discovers that the academy isn't just a school. It's a breeding ground for silent soldiers, where every student was handpicked, every lesson had a purpose, and every friendship hides a file. As truths begin to surface-about her real parents, the truth behind Arthur's power, and the hidden war against the underground syndicate ARMAERA-Winx must choose between staying alive or standing up for justice. With Blake, the man who claims to love her but also hides a connection to her past, and Ants, her so-called best friend turned traitor, the line between love and lies becomes dangerously thin. When the final truth explodes in a single gunshot and the academy burns in flames, Winx realizes that her story was never about graduation. It was about survival, rebellion, and legacy. This is not your ordinary school story. This is HM ACADEMY - where your bloodline writes your destiny.Complete

Are you mine?
We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him. Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper. This is that story. ~~~ #1 love triangle 8/26/2019 #1 teen romance 11/4/2019 #1 mystory 7/27/2020 #1 teen drama 9/9/2020 #1 goodgirl 9/12/2020 Cover by @alexandramar1e Contains swearing and mature language.Complete

I could tell he was furious. Yet somehow, I wasn't scared of him. "No" I shook my head bravely. "If I told you,'' He tried again, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath before continuing.''That you make me so fucking mad, I want to punch a fucking wall. What would you say?" He had me trapped now, my back painfully colliding with the wall behind me. I gasped at the impact, looking up into his icy grey eyes. They were cold, emotionless. As always. "Do it!" I dared him with the last ounce of courage I had left in me. The sound of his fist smashing through the wall right next to my head, made my ears ring for a brief moment. I opened my mouth to speak again, shaking slightly, only for him to pull away and leave me standing there alone. ____ !!Warning!!
