Violet POV
A beautiful looking woman probably in her early twenties was seen running up the stairs with a three year old child in her arms, she looked back in fear continuously as if someone was following her, soon she got to the top of the stairs, sighed in relief and smiled at the baby
"did you really think you could run from us" a male voice came from behind her, the woman froze then gripped the baby in fear
she shouted "you can't take her"
"too late" the man said as he took a gun and shot the woman's leg making her fall and cry in pain
"noooo" she wailed as the baby was taken from her
"any last words" the man asked smiling devilishly as he pointed the gun to her forehead and pulled the trigger...
I woke up in sweat, I just had that stupid nightmare again, I've had that dream a few times ever since watching a scary movie last year, I'm not really into horror but I did it on a dare, curse Lisa for forcing me to watch
Suddenly Bella barged into my room
"come on Vee today is the big day, you have to be ready in five minutes and I've prepared your favorite breakfast"
I rolled my eyes, sometimes i think she is the big sister rather than me, she's just ten and she can cook simple dishes, do house chores and wake up early on her own.
And here I was at eighteen, too lazy to get out of bed early, even frying eggs could be considered rocket science for me.
With a groan, i lazily dragged myself out of the bed and stepped into the shower letting the warm water cool my head
Today is the day of my very important interview with Avia Institute of Gems and Jewellery the one that will grant me a scholarship to the institute.
And honestly i wasn't nervous or anxious like most people will be because not to brag but i know for a fact that I'm the best when it comes to Gems and Jewellery, so getting the scholarship will be a piece of cake for me
Within minutes i was done showering, i went to my closet and picked a denim trouser and jacket with a white shirt, i love such casual wears, they often boost my confidence
"i thought you were never going to come out" Bella teased as I entered the dining room, my mouth watered as i smelled the delicious aroma of the breakfast she just made, "you are the world best cook" i complimented her and she beamed with pride.
As I stuffed my face with waffles I told her "remember if Amanda and Gary comes home and asks of me you know what to say" she sighed "you know I'm not a fan of lies but for you, I'll do it"
Avia Institute of Gems and Jewellery is known as the world's number one institute of studying Gems and creating Jewellery, any parent will be proud to have their child there except mine of course.
Though the tuition is expensive, over five thousand people are going for the interview and out of this five thousand, Three thousand will gain admission to the institute and just ten will get the scholarship, I have to be one of the lucky ten because no one will pay for the tuition, especially not my parents, they hate the idea of me studying and are never in support of what I do
They must not even know about this interview or else they will do everything in their power to stop me, that's why Bella has to lie to them.
I kissed her cheek in appreciation "love you sis, I'm running late so i have to go now"
"Good luck Vee, i know you will do great, so eat that interview and leave no crumbs" she laughed at her own joke
Her assurance of me doing well only fueled my confidence to a 1000%
The institute has placed at least fifty buses in different parts of the country to convey interviewees to the office where the interview is to take place.
I took a taxi to the nearest bus station and Within twenty minutes i got there, and met almost a hundred interviewees standing by the side of the road, waiting for the bus to arrive
Some looked nervous while others looked determined, I sighed, today is going to be tough
Most of them stood in groups talking and sharing ideas, i didn't know anyone there so i just stood in a corner and looked over my credentials and documents that will be used during the interview.
Satisfied with what i saw, i looked up to find a handsome guy with gorgeous blond hair and grey eyes looking at me
I grimaced "and you are"
"Caleb, nice to meet you" he stretched out his hand but i didn't shake it
"I see, you are not comfortable with talking to strangers" he blushed with embarrassment putting his hand in his pocket
"What do you want" i said already bored of his presence
"you dropped your earring while walking and i thought of giving you" he said and held out a pair of my expensive Chanel earring
I touched my ear and sighed in realization "thank you so much, sorry for being rude though"
"its okay I'm not that welcoming to strangers either" he smiled, i took the earring from him and wore it.
We talked for a while and i found out that his mother is one of the directors of the institute but she told him that she will not pull strings for him and he should work just as hard as everyone to get the admission to the institute
I was surprised "wow, its rare to see parents do such, your mom must be really strict to do that, but honestly its the right thing to do"
He nodded "i couldn't agree more, mom and i strongly believe in hard work rather than nepotism, by the way getting into such an institute will be such a huge feat"
For me getting into the institute will be more than a huge feat, but a dream come true.
Gems and creation of Jewellery has been my life long passion and studying in the institute will only ignite the fervor in me and fulfill my dreams of having my own Jewellery making company, dreams of being known all over the world, dreams of proving to the world and especially my parents that girls are more than pretty faces and can achieve something other than being a good house wife.
I smiled I can't wait to make these dreams a reality.

Sophia's life would get connected with the law. She was an Omega who was dating the head Alpha's younger brother. Bryan Morrison, the head Alpha, was not only a cold-blooded man but also a charming business tycoon. His name was enough to cause other packs to tremble. He was known as a ruthless man. What if, by some twist of destiny, Sophia's path were to intertwine with his?
Trigger warning!!! Intended for mature readers who enjoy morally complex, slow-burn, poseesive, forbidden, dark romance that pushes boundaries. ***EXCERPT*** Blood everywhere. Trembling hands. "No!" My eyes blurred. His lifeless eyes stared back at me, his blood pooling at my feet. The man I loved-dead. Killed by the one person I could never escape - my stepbrother. *** Kasmine's life was never hers to begin with. Kester, her stepbrother, controlled and monitored her every move. At first, it was all sweet and brotherly until it began to turn into an obsession. Kester was the Alpha, and his word was law. No close friends. No boyfriends. No freedom. The only consolation Kasmine had was her twenty-first birthday, which was supposed to change everything. She dreamt of finding her mate, escaping the sickening control of Kester, and finally claiming her own life. But fate had other plans for her. On the night of her birthday, not only was she disappointed that she wasn't mated to the love of her life, but she found out that her mate was none other than him - Her tormentor. Her stepbrother. She'd rather die than be mated to a man whom she had known as her big brother all her life. A man who would do just anything to make sure she was his. But when love turns to obsession, and obsession turns to blood, how far can one girl run before she realizes there is nowhere else to run to?

With newfound resolve, she declared, "From this day forward, no one in this family shall cross me."
For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
