Diana's Pov
Walking towards the large hall in front me, I was panting with anxiety crippling through my body moving from the soul of my feet, like ants moving in random motion towards it's food. It filled my entire body, my heart raced rapidly as I stepped into the cream coloured two thousand capacity hall which had long wooden seats on every step which seemed like a staircase.
With a stern face, I moved further, marrying my black polished leather shoe against the hard tiled ground. My neck was stiff making me unable to survey the hall or set my eyes on every other student sitting quietly waiting for the lecturer to come. It was hard to detect if people were staring at me or not. I took my sit at the back of the classroom, relieving myself of the fear that made it's way to my body before entering the hall.
Today is the big test, the test I've been waiting all semester for. I've studied so much for this test, but I still have this fear of failing it. if I don't ace this test then it's going to be very difficult for me in my final year at Clifield University.
I'm a Medical student having one of the best grades in the university and I don't want one grade to place me underneath my academic rivals.
"Settle down everyone" A tall bald dark man in a black and white suit wearing black polished shoes stepped into the hall, his appearance was stunning.
With a straight face, he made intimidating steps towards the front of the hall facing about 800 students. He was the most feared lecturer who wouldn't hesitate to drop an F on your answer script if you displeased him
"I hope you all know that this is your last test before you get into your final year in this university, if you are caught with using any illicit material you'll automatically fail this course and jeopardize your performance and if care isn't taken you'll be expelled" he says with a loud voice echoing across the hall.
He distributes the sheets of question and answer booklet to every student in the hall. Moving back to his position, he took another stare at every student in the hall and with a loud voice told everyone to start.
"Oh shit" I murmured after seting my eyes on the first question
"In spectrophotometric of total phenol content, Folin-Ciocalteau agent is used as____"
As numbness devoured me that second, I began questioning my negligence, asking myself why I didn't bother to go through this particular topic, I leaned further against the table thinking of the solution to this question.
"Hey you stand up! Are you supposed to be sleeping during exams" the lecturer's loud voice echoed across the hall meeting every wall in the quiet hall.
I stood up trying to justify myself but I was shunned and told to remain that way, making me unable to complete my exam.
After 20 mins he pardoned me and told me to sit.
Coming out of the hall with so much uncertainty after the exams were over, I wasn't sure of what I wrote but I knew I would pass 50% of the questions I answered.
"Diana!" a loud feminine voice called out to me, pulling me out of my doubtful thoughts and bringing me back to reality
It was my best friend Evelyn, tall with a blonde ponytail and a pointed nose slightly in between her dark brown eyes which was a little above her not-so pink small lips. I've known her since I was in high school, we've been through so much together, done so much together, she was always there for me when I faced turbulent storms.
"Heyy Evelyn how are you doing?"
We walked further to the entrance of the noisy hall, leaving other students behind
"Are you alright you seem really pale, don't tell me you've been working up all night again" with a smirk unfolding on her lips she stared at me, knowing fully well I was working up all night.
In a moment of silence, I kept a straight face because I knew the angle she was coming from and where it's going to end. Without a word from my mouth, we exited the school building to where we could get in a cab and go home.
"You're not saying anything, I know you've been working up all night. You look really stressed and tired, you're 23 but you're already looking 30. I keep telling you Diana, you need a man to get you through all this"
Here we go again with this same, 'you need a man speech', I'm definitely not in for it today.
"Evelyn, I'm really tired I don't have the energy for this conversation. I need to rest. You of all people should know I hate conversations like this, it drains me to my bones so please let's go home so I can take a nap" I said suppressing the atmosphere of arguments.
"Ok okay" she said as we got to a stop, got into a yellow cab together and drove off exiting the school environment.
On reaching my apartment with Evelyn, the cab dropped us and in millisecond zoomed off out of sight.
We walked into my apartment, with the door open instead of locked.
I made my way upstairs to Jane; my sister
She was 18 and had just graduated from high school as the third best performing student in her school. Our family was always known for academic excellence. She was definitely not too tall; 5'3 had dark brown ponytail, she was slim and fair in complexion.
I walked into her room and feasting my eyes on what seemed like an illusion, I was shocked to my bones when I saw Jane kissing her so-called high school boyfriend.
"What the fuck!"
In amazement of my presence they seized and before I could even inhale enough oxygen to utter out another word, the young man made a very swift move out of the room and out of the house.
"How many times have I told you to stop this rubbish and leave that boy alone!" I yelled closing the door loudly against me as I walked out of the room, giving her no time to say a word.
I stepped downstairs and flashed Evelyn a calm smile. With a goodbye wave from Evelyn, she stepped out and made her way out of the house.
I stepped into the kitchen, picked up a sandwich and an orange juice and in a split second I devoured it like a hungry lion before ruffling my feet to my room.
I badly needed a cool bath. In no time, I was done.
Dressing up, I laid on my bed and in one heartbeat I dozed off into nothingness.

Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.

The Unwritten Princess
My name is Mia, and everything I touch is dying.
The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands. When the court wizard finally told me the truth—that someone cursed me, that my presence would kill everyone I love—I realized the prophecy everyone believed was never meant to save the kingdom. It was meant to destroy me.
So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.

Lightborn: The Demon’s Bond
Ruined : You will always be mine.
“Fuckkk”, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You need to learn to be obedient” he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
“Asher please, it’s too much”.
“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. “Ten Lashes for your disobedience”, he said
“Asher please”,
“No”. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.
Asher was what I wanted , what I truly craved until it was too late. An orphan should never fall in love with someone out of their reach. I thought loving him was the right thing to do until he revealed his true identity and Ruined me. I was ruined for everyone one else .

I Found the Babies
"When..." He growled in my ear, "When we will be getting married, I will be your only king, do you get my point? Only one queen, no misters or mistresses. Just me, just you, and yeah, our babies."
I shivered.
Alyssa Reynolds found herself in a situation, while returning home from work, and she had three choices:
Simply walk away and forget that you ever heard the sound of wailing infants.
Call the police and inform them about the innocent wails.
Follow the sounds of the wails and take the matter in your hands, deciding what to do later.
Being a kindhearted soul and a sucker for babies, she found herself choosing the third option, finding the two little lives.
Two little lives that changed her whole life, her love life included. Her life now revolved around the babies as diapers, vomit and shit seemed to surround her.
Just when she thought that now it's just her and the babies, her whole world flipped over and she found herself living under the same roof as the egotistical, obnoxious and hot-as-hell Terence Powers, the business tycoon who was not going to let the woman fend off for herself and the babies alone.
Bound by the Dragon Mafia
The head chef looked like he was silently praying for death.
I rushed forward. “Amara. Stop traumatizing these poor people.”
She spun around, delighted. “Sera! Good, you’re here. Taste this. It’s missing despair.”
The chef’s face morphed into existential crisis.
I grabbed her arm. “Put the spatula down.”
“But—”
“Down.”
With exaggerated offense, she dropped the spatula and muttered, “Fine. But if no one here has artistic vision, that’s not my fault.”
She went undercover to expose a mafia empire.
He offered her thirty nights to save her life.
When investigative journalist Seraphine Vale steps into the glittering underworld ruled by billionaire crime lord Dante Vescari, she thinks she’s chasing a story about missing women and corruption.
