Innocence Stories

*"Never attract the attention of the Black Crest."* Aurelia Hart came to Blackwood Academy with one goal: survive. As a scholarship student surrounded by billionaire heirs, mafia families, and future world leaders, she knows she doesn't belong. She keeps her head down. She studies. She stays invisible. At least, she tries to. Because one wrong turn leads her straight into a secret she was never supposed to discover. And now the Black Crest knows her name. The Black Crest. Five boys. Five heirs. Five people powerful enough to ruin lives with a single word. Among them is Kieran Voss-the ruthless mafia heir everyone fears and nobody dares to challenge. Cold. Untouchable. Dangerous. The kind of boy Aurelia should stay far away from. Unfortunately, he keeps showing up wherever she is. And the more Aurelia tries to avoid him, the more impossible it becomes. But Blackwood Academy is hiding secrets. The Black Crest is hiding secrets. And Aurelia may be hiding the biggest secret of all. Because someone has been watching her. Someone knows the truth about her past. And when that truth finally comes to light... It won't just destroy lives. It will start a war. "You shouldn't have seen that." Those were the first words Kieran Voss ever said to her. Aurelia should have run. Maybe then her heart would've survived.
