✿ She knew how to play, but not how to walk away ✿
The queen of silent battles, Cleopatra Corinne, moves with precision on the board-but when it comes to matters of the heart, the girl's a vulnerable pawn. Every glance, every move, every whispered word is calculated. And she knows it.
Yet, she still played.
As the game made its way, Clay finds herself willingly caught in a gambit she saw coming. But even a great manipulator can make a blunder... and when the final piece falls, the checkmate isn't on the board-it's within her.
Because all this time, he's teaching her how to lose.

Or is her darkness within becomes her undoing? A battle of dominance is brewing. There is no time to hesitate as the enemy sets their eyes on her, waiting to strike at her most vulnerable.

The Game Changed When You Showed Up || Kira Timurov ♤ [ON HOLD]
You weren't supposed to be part of the Game. You were a background player - smart, quiet, invisible. Just a spectator in a world built on secrets, dares, and dangerous bets. But one wrong move changes everything. Now your name is on The List. Now you're in play. And in a world where trust can get you killed, the only person who offers you a lifeline is Kira Timurov - ruthless, unreadable, and deadly sharp. She claims she's helping for her own reasons. She tells you not to get close. But the longer you stay, the more the lines between fake and real start to blur. This is a story of survival, strategy, and the slow-burn connection between two girls who were never supposed to care - but end up breaking the rules anyway. Because once you enter The Game, nothing is ever just a game. ~Kira Timurov X Reader THIS WON'T BE FOLLOWING THE ORIGINAL EVENTS IN THE SERIES.

Queen Of Ashes-Turning Pain Into Power
I believed many things in life but luck isn't one of them, until I met him. I never thought I would want to protect someone other than my family but he became the king in the game of chess where I was the queen. And a queen would always protect her king. A game, they started but I'll finish and win. I vowed to protect her. She isn't the black or white. She is the gray, the lightest shade. With all the white and hints of black. Siphoning my black, but never changing her shade. She is the sun peeking through the clouds. Giving enough light to see things through, not like bright sunshine that burns the skin neither hiding behind the clouds. Just enough.
Checkmate ♛
❝Maybe it's not just life that is like a chess game. Maybe love is too. Like how the king is always afraid losing his queen, and how the queen does everything in her power to save her king.❞ - Think of life as a chess game. There are the Kings and the Queens ; who serve as the rightful leaders. There are the Knights and the Bishops ; the hunters and the wise. And then there's Rayne Parker, a valuable pawn playing a game of live or die, being at the same time in no control of his own life. Being a pawn means not being in charge, means following the rules and obeying the moves of the 'player'. That was the ISAA. They were the 'players' in this injustice game of chess. They controlled Rayne's every move. If he made a bad move, someone else would suffer as a consequence of his actions. And he hated every second of being the cause of someone's death. In order to save himself, he would have to make a right move. The divine move that would allow him to checkmate ISAA and win. [completed ✓ || in the state of editing✗]Complete
