Three inseparable friends-Ava, Nina, and Jade-embark on what should be a fun and exciting journey: a high-stakes wedding planning competition with a grand prize that promises fame and a lavish, fully-sponsored wedding. However, as the pressure mounts, the competition reveals deep cracks in their friendship.

Ava, the perfectionist and natural leader, becomes obsessed with winning, driving a wedge between her and the more creative, free-spirited Nina, whose ideas are constantly dismissed. Jade, the calm and grounded mediator, finds herself caught in the middle, trying to keep the peace while dealing with her own growing doubts and frustrations.

As the competition nears its climax, underlying tensions explode into a confrontation that turns tragically violent. A fatal accident-or was it something more sinister?-leaves one friend dead, shattering the trio's bond forever. The surviving friends are left grappling with guilt, suspicion, and the haunting question: Was Ava's death truly an accident, or did jealousy, ambition, and betrayal push one of them to murder?

Set against the backdrop of glitzy wedding venues and high-pressure deadlines, this gripping story explores the dark side of friendship, the destructive power of competition, and the secrets we keep-even from those we love the most.

I felt my mind drifting back to Xavier, what on eath had happened to him. As I climbed upon the ledge I found myself speed dialling Cole. He answered on the first ring. "Remember, like a year ago, we were talking about death, existential crisis and whatnot and I was unable to give you an answer as to what death is like for me?" He hummed along. It was always so easy to talk to him, I would miss that. "I think death is freedom. From the burdens and struggles from life. Death isn't giving up, its simply surrendering to the inevitable." "I get where you're coming from," he continued. "Death is simply a factor of life, part of its cycle if you will. But we also have to live everyday like it is our last. We owe it to them at least, the gods, for giving us life." **** Formerly 'Second choice' the story follows the life of a girl battling with life. A story written by me as my lockdown project more or less, based on things I had read and seen in the news and in life. It is purely a work of fiction. All rights reserved.

"I call this one pain. And this lil one right here under his wing is suffering." "No offense, but...who the hell would wanna be reminded of pain and Suffering? If I was going to get something etched into my skin forever, I'd want something that would bring me joy." His grin bemused her. As if he expected her to contradict his moral logic. "True that, shorty. And I agree, no doubt. But who's to say my birds don't bring me joy?" Dumbfounded, Jett lifted her eyes from the silhouetted birds up to meet his tender gaze, stumped on how to answer his question. She shrugged with one arm, "Do they?" * * * Jett Jaletta has enough of her own problems. Unreliable family members that depend on her for everything, too many bills with not enough income. And a federal probation sentence that's held her hostage for the past three years. The last thing she needs is the drama that comes along with a handsome face, drama that could jeopardize everything she's working for - a liberating dance career. But Roman Carter isn't liable for the damage caused by his blessed good genes. As a matter of fact, his alluring appearance and its effect on the opposite sex is the furthest on his list of priorities. The recent murder of his only brother has left him unfocused, indignant, and irrevocably heartbroken. Well, he is focused on one thing...retribution. BlackBiirds is the intertwining story of two characters-who's deepest pains and struggles happen to be caused by the other person. Ironically, surrounding situations, dangerous rivals, and even their own family members cause these two to become tangled in ways they can't escape from. * * * BLACKBiiRDS is the rewritten, reworked 2.0 version of its former draft: Souled Out.
