OJ SIMPSON, CASEY ANTHONY,
Two of the best known names in the world, figuring in two of the most internationally famous criminal trials of the past quarter century.
Those trials made their names famous and made media stars of defense attorneys. Prosecutors don't fare as well. Which Jacksonville Assistant State Attorney William Maitland says only exposes the most ill-concealed secret of the criminal justice system.
“ That’s what most people don’t understand. The people with real power aren’t cops. They just investigate and arrest. The people with real power aren’t judges. They have a lot of power, but who they see and what charges they deliberate on don’t come from them
I decide that. In my hands is the power to decide who is arrested and who is released; who faces death or 25 years or who gets mercy. And there really is no oversight, nobody looking over my shoulder.
Cops can bitch, but my decisions are final. Judges can bitch and threaten to take action, but they never do. The only person with any real power is the Big Man, and he had given me the Keys to the Kingdom and he had never in five years countermanded any decision I’d made.
Most of the time it doesn’t bother me. I’ve made mistakes, but it comes with the territory. Surgeons kill people. It’s how they learn. I have sent people to prison who didn’t deserve what they got and let people go free or out early and regretted my actions. But it's part of the job.”
Follow the loves, hates, affairs and blazing sexual encounters behind closed doors that are a part of the court system in Jacksonville. Because, as one Public Defender notes, “every courthouse is just a little Peyton Place.”
“When We Were Married" is the story of the death of a marriage of a driven prosecutor and a beautiful professor, and what happens afterward.

You begin in the void and continue into the dark. You find light in the dark, but your path lights up the most in darkness when lightening strikes during a storm. I began in the calm, made my way through silence and then I encountered with the storm. Sampurnaa was perfect like her name suggested. Complete and perfect and flawless for the world. At the age of 24, fresh with a degree in mass communication and journalism, she's anything but quiet and submissive. Indrayan was a lawyer by profession. He never really liked someone else winning debates against him... At the age of 29, he's all set to establish himself more. And then paths collide. When two storms rise together, isn't disaster always inevitable? Time shall tell their journey... ...................................................................... 🔴 My first attempt at writing anything on Wattpad.🔴 Not cliché, not overly not cliché either.

Crown & Collar-The Fucking Throne Room
Messy Marcus Production presents 🖤 Crown & Collar - The Fucking Throne Room Rating: M (language, violence, sexual content, trauma themes) Crown & Collar isn't just a strip club. It's a blood-soaked empire stitched together with stilettos, secrets, and survival. Hidden beneath the Ashcroft Hotel in downtown Atlanta, this underground haven is where power parties with pain, loyalty gets auctioned off, and silence screams louder than gunfire. At the center of it all sits Reign Maddox - queen, killer, myth. She didn't inherit her throne. She carved it out of concrete and corpses. Her dancers move like weapons. Her bartenders serve confessions with top-shelf liquor. And her enemies? They don't get second chances. Reign rules with a switchblade smile and a ledger full of names she's ready to burn. But when a body shows up in the champagne room - throat slit, lips sewn shut - the club's fragile peace fractures. The message is clear: someone's coming for the crown. Enter Detective Jalen Cross - ex-undercover, morally bankrupt, and intimately familiar with the club's shadows. He's not chasing justice. He's chasing a debt. And Reign? She's not about to let a cop crawl through her kingdom without bleeding for it. As the investigation spirals, so does the city. Rival crews circle like vultures. The Sovereign Protocol - a covert network of elite killers - resurfaces with unfinished business. And inside the club, betrayal blooms. DeAndre Dante Creed wants Reign broken - whether in bed or on her knees. His wife, Jasmine J. Creed, wants the throne. And she's willing to burn the whole damn club to get it. This is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers inferno wrapped in crime, trauma, and emotional warfare. Every kiss is a threat. Every truth is a weapon. And every heartbeat is a countdown. Because in Crown & Collar, love is lethal, loyalty is currency, and survival? That shit's never guaranteed.Concluída
Bryan Brent(The U-Turn)
Four good hours gone and yet nothing - no solution. I kicked a chair in my office hard sending it flying through an empty space as it crashed to the floor. Shelving off all the documents on my table to the floor, I created a perfect mess. The feeling of frustration engulfed me, tightening all the muscles in my body. It was like I was having a panic attack. I quickly helped myself to the bottle of whisky on the bar and drank uncontrollably from it. I remembered the last time I drank this way and what happened. But at this moment, all I needed was to forget everything that was happening. Closing my eyes briefly to relieve all of the tension, I opened them again but the pain was still there, the reality of my loss was dawning on me completely and I was helpless. 'Desperate times calls for desperate measures' that's what they say. Bryan a twenty-seven years old billionaire had a perfect life until Maryrose Brent, his mother decides to show up after ten years and a supposed dead uncle finally resurrects. Suddenly his perfect life takes a U-Turn and begins to crumble bit by bit before his eyes. Could it all be a mere coincidence or is there someone truly behind all of the happenings? And how far, are they willing to take it? Perhaps, till the last breath is sucked out of his body. [Unedited] Started February 2020 Ended July 2020 Word count [144,591]Concluída
Siyaasat -E-Ishq | 18+
They say love is sacred. But in this world, it's strategy. Where ivory-clad kings walk corridors that bleed power, and queens rise not with tiaras but with trial.Every glance is calculated, every silence weaponised. Here, hearts are never broken,they're bartered. Some marry for power. Some for redemption. Some just to survive. In the empire of masked alliances and whispered betrayals, love doesn't knock- it trespasses. It coils itself between duty and desire, between legacy and longing, until no one remembers where the throne ends and the heart begins. He was raised to command, not to feel. She was built to burn, not to bow. One sees emotion as weakness. The other hides it like a weapon. But even the sharpest minds can falter when loyalty begins to blur with love. And even the most dangerous men can kneel for the wrong woman or the right one at the wrong time. This isn't a story of soulmates. This is a collision of sovereigns. A war where the battlefield is love and the casualties are trust, truth, and time. In the shadows of politics and the ruins of restraint, something is rising. Not a fairytale. A force. Welcome to Siyaasat-E-Ishq: where every love story is written in ash, inked in ambition, and crowned in consequence.
