Adeline is a ghost in satin shoes-seen, but never known. At eighteen, she glides through life with quiet precision: a ballerina sculpted by discipline, shaped by absence. Her mother drinks to forget. Her father pays to pretend. And Adeline says nothing.
Until one night.
Dragged to a club by her reckless best friend, Adeline steps onto the dance floor-and into the eyes of Nerina, a sharp-dressed stranger cloaked in shadow. From that moment, Nerina is obsessed. There's something about the girl who vanishes as quickly as she appeared-something Nerina can't explain.
She watches. She waits. But Adeline leaves no trail.
No photos. No past. No name that anyone seems to know.
Who is the girl who lives like a secret-and why can't Nerina let her go?

Broken Shell Of Hope
Adeline Jade had always been alone. She had no father to call her "princess," no mother to hold her, no grandparents to cherish her, and no siblings to play with. She wandered through a world determined to isolate her, wrapped in a loneliness that filled every empty room and silent night. Loneliness was all she had ever known, her only constant companion. But this was about to change, though she had no idea that her life was going to change. Soon, the universe would disrupt her quiet life. Shadows from a past she didn't know existed were closing in, bringing both new connections and painful truths. Adeline was about to discover a hidden world, one that could either fulfill her deepest desires or bring her great sorrow. I cannot express enough how tired I am of reading the same story about the missing daughter of mafia again and again. Its frustrating. I want something new to read, and if I can't find it, what's better than writing it yourself? I don't want anything that you see in every story ever.Complete
DEMSDALEVILLE
Welcome to Demsdaleville. Where legacy is blood, and the grading curve is a battlefield. Ariana Basile isn't here for a business degree. She's here for revenge. Her target is Antonio Moretti, the golden varsity captain of the school's most elite, untouchable circle. Her mission: Infiltrate their ranks, dismantle their security, and tear the Moretti family legacy to the ground to avenge a silent tragedy. But Demsdaleville is a closed-loop fortress of corporate heirs, political dynasties, and deep-seated family secrets. One wrong move doesn't just mean a failed exam-it means immediate, unappealable ruin. Standing directly in Ariana's path is Alexander Sterling, the school's cold, hyper-analytical student leader. He notices every anomaly on the campus network, and he already knows her personal device shouldn't exist. But instead of exposing her, the grandmaster offers her a dangerous deal with the devil: help him remove a shared liability, and he will keep her secrets safe. Forced into a silent, high-stakes alliance under the watchful eyes of the campus press, Ariana must navigate a minefield of fragile alliances, strict curfews, and brilliant rivals. The pieces are on the board, the players are in position, and in a den of young, wealthy wolves, the real game of survival is about to begin.Complete

No staff, no safety net, just a cramped two-bedroom apartment and a roommate she's never expected. Aveline Parker is a ghost of a girl who prefers silence to survival. Grey eyes, jet black hair, and a presence that slips through rooms without a sound. No one knows what she's been through, except Estelle, the woman who gave her a job, a room, and a reason to stay.
