Attend opera concerts. Run a few errands. Enjoy a luxury apartment, wardrobe, and car, all expenses paid.

Sounds like a dream job, right? There's only one catch.

After nights of haunting musical messages and retrieving strange, pulsing items for her eccentric employer, Cleo unravels a conspiracy she definitely isn't getting paid enough to be involved in. As time goes on, she glimpses a fantastical realm of individuals that prefer to keep their powers a secret, and will do anything to remain unseen. Once unveiled, there is no going back to blissful ignorance.

It all started with a paycheck. But in the end, Cleo may be the one paying - with her life.

Shattered by TrashPanda137

⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13

Reality's Escape: a collection of short stories by KeriMiss

This is a bunch of short stories I had to get out of my system. Each part is a complete story, so you don't have to worry about being left hanging! 1. Heist. I was was blinded by a sudden wave of story, character, and plot (which usually don't coincide with each other) while innocently on the way home from music practice. The result? A really cool story about a villain who doesn't stay bad and a heroine who isn't always good. 2. Antivirus. This is a story I wrote in high school, so bear with me... it took about three days in the writing, before I had much experience. Feel free to skip to the next story if you'd rather! 3. The Piano. For the romantic sentimental who like to wallow in what might have been. 4. The Night of January 7, 2018. Have you ever had one of those dreams that seemed incredibly real? Scarily deep and intense? 5. In The Archive of Biatre. This story is just a cute excerpt from my character's childhood. Note: only one character survives to the actual book. 6. Virtual Life. I have imagined what it would be like to live in a world that consisted of white walls, solar powered energy, and nearly complete dependence on machinery. 7. Almost an Override. This story is the result of a writing prompt on blog.reedsy.com which is an awesome website! I combined the prompt with my experience in customer service, and came out with something akin to comedy :) 8. A Perfectly Normal Thought Process. Another writing prompt from blog.reedsy.com about the "perfectly normal" state of my mind. 9. The Appointed Time. This was a New Year's prompt from blog.reedsy.com. It took me two days to finish, and all the characters are actually friends from church! 10. Leaving Footprints. Reaching the max character limit... blog.reedsy.com! 11. Sweet Little Things. Romance / horror genre blend. Prompt from blog.reedsy.com. 12. Created To Be. Need I say more? blog.reedsy.com And more!

Temptress H.S. by suckerbabyxoxo

"A killer who is afraid of guns and another who is afraid of the dark, huh? Quite the team." ~•~~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ Cleo knows what she's capable of and how good she is at her job... only this kind of job includes murder and torture. She's been in this business along with her family for a while now to know how things work. She has her share of enemies and a body count that keeps growing, but what could possibly happen if her next job involved someone she hated profoundly? Someone that she had tried and is still trying to kill now? Harry is just as dangerous as her and they have a past... their families go a long way back and they know better than to interfere with each other's business. Nothing good could happen if they crossed paths... and that's exactly what is going to happen. ~•~~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~ *This is NOT my original work, this is a reupload! * Spotify Playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3yTXKUa4dqvenOkJzMpyo7?si=ZgBNBNVVTaCCkRoFWbtKdw&pi=u-aoIbo3iIRpqx

The Rapunzels by Nyhterides

Confined to the family's estate since birth, three sisters have never seen the outside world. Taught they are unable to leave home due to their long hair, Lexi, Lulu, and Fia secretly envy their volatile father and narcissistic mother whose short locks allow them to come and go whenever they wish. Raised believing their grandparents live in the TV set, the young women's knowledge about the outside world is skewed. On the eve of Fia's eighteenth birthday, life as they know it is altered when the girls find a young man unconscious in their yard. Believing he is an angel, they hide him in the guest house. Soon Fia's feelings for the man bloom and she finds herself sneaking to the guest house to be with him. When the lies the sisters have been told begin to unravel, Fia decides she will do whatever it takes to escape. The only thing holding her back is her long dark hair. Dogtooth x Rapunzel x The Castle of Purity Warning for abuse, swearing, romantic themes, alcohol addiction, blood, and typical Christine darkness. There is no SA. Best rank: #1 IN OPENNOVELLACONTEST2024 I started writing this story for the ONC 2024. Due to work and life, I could not finish it for the contest. Which made me sad...but I continued...at a snail's pace. Thanks to everyone who kept reading!

Roses Are Red by TateBooks16

"Your mine," His voice is husky as he looks down at me. I shake me head and take a step back from him only to make contact with the wall behind me. "I'm not yours," I say, surprised that my voice doesn't shake. His hand comes up to touch my face and I immediately flinch away. "You were always mine, you just never realized it." ******************************** Cleo was born into a royal family, she thought she was normal but when her family realizes that she doesn't carry the family magic they leave her to die in a sewer. She is found and sold at an auction. Cleo has heard story's about what happens to some of the girls that are sold and she cant help but worry about her survival. When she sees her buyer she realises that survival might be impossible because her buyer is none other than the serial killer Leo Arden. What happens though when Cleo realizes that Leo might not be as he seems? ***************************** This is a dark romantasy (Mostly Romance and not a lot of elements of fantasy) so if you don't like that you probably shouldn't read. There will also be kinky sex in this book including BDSM. If you have decided to read I hope you enjoy!
