She was supposed to blend in. Instead, she became a target.
Ivory Shadows didn't ask for Blackhurst Academy. A scholarship was supposed to be her way out, a chance to prove she belonged somewhere else. But this place isn't about fitting in-it's about power, legacy, and knowing exactly where you stand.
The Royals run the school. They don't notice people like Ivory-until they do. Suddenly, she's caught in a world of whispered threats, impossible expectations, and a game she never wanted to play.
At Blackhurst, being invisible isn't protection. It's a challenge. And Ivory's about to find out how far she's willing to go to survive-and she has a few tricks up her sleeve.

Before You Leave

She hated the spotlight. He lived in it. She was just the quiet girl with perfect grades. He was power wrapped in charm. Rich beyond belief. An heir to a name powerful enough to open any door and shut any mouth. Nobody knew her secrets, hidden behind glass smiles and a shine so bright. Nobody knew his darkness, worn like a crown. That was bowed before. He didn't shine, he burned. Selena didn't know what she was getting into. It was her sister's friend. It was a harmless crush. A fantasy. A look. But then, he looked back. Now he wants her. To claim. To possess. To destroy and rebuild until there's nothing left of her that isn't his. He'd bleed, hurt -- burn down the world to have her. She wanted to belong. He wanted her to belong to him.

Perfection is subjective - one shot
Vana was the queen of highschool - not because she was kind or brilliant, but because she could be crueler than anyone else. Money oiled every door open for her, and the world inside the ivy-covered walls of the school was hers to command. Everyone knew their place: the powerful ruled, the rich flaunted, and the weak survived only if they kept their heads down. Vana loved it that way. She loved how easy it was to spot someone who didn't belong - the ones who flinched when she smiled too sweetly, the ones who stammered when she leaned in close just to whisper something sharp and cutting into their ears. When Leo came to school, he didn't belong. Everyone could see it: the simple clothes, the calloused hands, the scholarship papers that practically screamed charity case. Vana hated him on sight. Hated the way he stood up straighter than the rest, hated the calm in his eyes, hated that he made it so difficult - so unsatisfying - to get a reaction from him. But no matter what she did - the comments, the humiliation, the cold, calculated pranks - Leo never reacted. No anger. No fear. No cracks in the armor. And for the first time in her charmed, brutal life, Vana found herself caught on a hook she didn't know how to escape from. What happens when the girl who feels nothing finally meets someone who refuses to break? 27.04.2025 English is not my first language, so I'm sorry if there are any mistakes!Complete
Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.

He's been waiting for the perfect moment to kidnap her and finally make her his queen after 2 years of watching and stalking her every move. He'd kill anyone who gets in the way of getting what he wants. What will happen when he ruins everything she wanted and forces her to marry him? Will she escape and resist him? Or will she submit and accept her fate?Complete
Velbridge Academy
Welcome to Velbridge Academy - where royalty, wealth, and legacy aren't just inherited... they're weaponized. Tucked behind gilded gates and hidden from the public eye, Velbridge isn't your typical elite boarding school. It's the academy of the crowned, the heirs of empires, and the future rulers of the world. Power isn't taught here - it's expected. When Lilith Aurelian, an ordinary girl with a quiet past and a sharp mind, earns her place among the thirteen - a group made of royalty, aristocrats, and heirs - she doesn't just step into privilege. She steps into centuries of secrets, tension, and rituals built to break the weak. What begins as icy stares and velvet walls becomes something else entirely. Between intimate spa rooms divided only by curtains, private jets that whisper confessions in the dark, and late-night lounges where power slips through murmured words and steady hands - Lilith discovers that belonging is far more dangerous than exclusion. Friendships bloom. Trust fractures. Love simmers beneath silk robes and stolen glances. And just when the group begins to heal, a single mistake threatens to unravel it all. Because at Velbridge, one wrong move isn't just social suicide - it's legacy death. This is Velbridge: where loyalty is tested, intimacy is a silent language, and the only thing thicker than blood... is the silence that follows betrayal.Complete

Heirs And Hunters
"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
