Her son, Michael, and Havisham's determined granddaughter, Violet, refuse to accept the verdict, convinced that a larger conspiracy is at play. As they investigate the circumstances surrounding the murder, they uncover a corrupt brothel in Westminster that is bribing politicians and high-ranking officials for their own gain. They must unravel whether William was about to expose this scandal or if he was complicit in it.

Neighbor To Neighbor by WinterWRLD_

" I'm sick of you putting your hands on me Johnny!" A loud gunshot went off, echoing around the house, and for the first time, it was quiet. No more door slamming, no more cleaning up my mother's blood off the walls, and no more fighting. I remember asking my mother "Are we free?" I swear it felt like Christmas or New Year's. All I can hear is cheering in my head or maybe ringing. For the first time in 12 years Mother and I were able to sleep that hot summer night in bed together. April's life changed once she saw her dad Johnny get murdered right in front of her, by her mother June. A self-defense case quickly turned to manslaughter and the law turned against June at the drop of a hat. June was sentenced to 25 to life, a then 14-year-old April was left alone.

Rich People Problems by treeziaa

As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult. (not edited... i swear i'm trying) ________ trigger warnings: • sexual/mature content (18+) • explicit language • alcohol and drug abuse • a character who can't make the right decisions lmao ________ highest rankings: #6 in romance #1 in mature #1 in ceo #1 in boss #3 in billionaire #2 in steamy #1 in slowburn #1 in couple #3 in humor #3 in enemiestolovers

V is for Violet (COMPLETE) by Bailey-Elizabeth

-COMPLETE original version PLUS first half of new version!- "I don't know what to do," I admitted for the first time to both her and myself. "I don't know how to maintain this without fucking something up. I don't know how to keep spending time with you without setting a bad example or slipping up in front of my Family." Violet sat up and turned to face me. "I can't answer that for you," she said with a sad smile. "But I can go. I can make this easier, stay out of your way for a while." She stood on her knees between my legs, close, but not touching, and watched me with those wide, ocean eyes. I should have told her to go- listened to her suggestion and put some real distance between us. It would have been smarter, safer. But it would feel like cutting off my own hands. "I don't want that," I murmured, and reached for her waist. (excerpt from new version) --- Vengeance. Vendetta. Violence. These three words are all Violet Harcourt knows. For years, her world has been centered around killing Bill Pfeiffer, the hitman who murdered her father and sister. She's learned the criminal underground inside and out while masquerading as a quiet art student, bringing her closer and closer to her target. Now, it's time to blow her cover, and Bill Pfeiffer's brains out. Vitale Fierro lives a carefree life at the top of the Salvaggi Mafia. Business has been good, and Chicago isn't a bad place to call home when you're a professional criminal. But when a girl with purple hair murders the Family's prized hitman, he's given the responsibility of what to do with her. To kill, or not to kill seems to be the ultimate question- one he must answer while managing a promotion, taking down a rival Family, and trying not to fall in love. Book 1 of the Rough Love Novels

YOU BELONG TO ME by lucy1138

What if "The Grey's Family", was not the picture perfect family. What if the father was a gang leader and ran a very dangerous criminal organization, who ruled over his family with an iron fist. Christian Grey wanted out of the family criminal business and started up his own successful billion dollar company completely legit. His father let him be until recently needed him to marry the daughter of a rival gang. What will happen when in an effort to dodge his father, he meets the woman of his dreams claiming her as his without her even knowing, forces Jazmyn Steele who had problems of her own raising her brother's daughter, into a supposably fake marriage. There is also the new company he just brought that is not as legit as he thinks. There are still the other regular characters of the Fifty Shades of Grey including Mia Grey who has been keeping a big secret from her family. What will her father do when he finds out? This is another one of my Christian Grey stories, but many different character development. One thing that is the same is our Christian Grey still being into BDSM, but his submissive is someone new but at the same time an original character, who is she? Many surprises that will be revealed but only can be found out if you read the story. ⚠️ This story does include steamy scenes and explicit language also a very controlling, possessive ruthless Christian Grey so if your not into that type of thing this is not the story for you. IT IS A STORY BASE OF MY OWN BUT CHARACTERS ARE FROM THE TALENTED EL JAMES Completed May 29, 2022
