Chapter 1CHAPTER 1

I kept glancing at my wrist as I walked through the hallway to see the number that had printed itself overnight; 21. It was written in this bold black ink and I couldn't rub it off no matter what.

Was it 21 days?

21 hours?

I had no idea.

Our headmaster's usual stern voice was filled with grief as it echoed through the corridor, "My dear students, I regret to inform you all, your classmate Xavier Diego, is no longer among us. He took his own life yesterday night. Please pray for his soul to rest in peace."

Silence filled the hallways. Not one word was spoken. Shock was the first thing you could see on people's faces. Dread and guilt followed.

A strange heaviness filled my chest as the realization that I would no longer see him standing near his locker, bobbing his head to the beat of music that filled his ears.

The bell rang, and our feet automatically started moving to our respective classes.

The rest of the day was the same; sullen faces filled the school as a kind of darkness hovered above our heads.

My best friend, Dawn, kept asking me if I was alright every time she saw my pale face. I only nodded my head because I couldn't bring myself to speak.

A funeral was being held in his memory that evening and I decided to go support his family.

When I reached the church where the funeral was being held, I heard the sky thunder. It started raining heavily. It felt like the sky too mourned with all of us. I saw Xavier's mother standing near his casket.

Audrey looked like a fragile women. She was the kind of mother that was more of a friend to her kids. I didn't know what was going on in her head but I knew her heart was broken into these pieces, that were too small to pick up.

I saw Hazel and Olivia, Xavier's 5 year old twin sisters asking their mum when would Xavier come back.

As my turn came to pay my respect and see him one last time, I slowly stood up from my seat.

I walked towards his casket and looked at his still body.

His eyes were closed and his skin was lifeless.

My throat began to close up as the thought of someone I knew was lying dead in a casket in front of me settled in my mind.

I couldn't help but wonder how he could leave a family that loved him to death.

As I was on my way back home I thought of that one time Xavier and I had to do a Literature project together. It wasn't that long ago.

Maybe a month back or so. But he seemed so happy. As the realization finally settled in that a boy I had gone to school with for almost 11 years is no longer alive, my chest tightened again.

I felt a hand over my shoulder and turned around to find a man that looked in his late twenties completely dressed in white. He had these bright blue eyes that looked like a baby's. His tanned skin shone in the night.

I asked politely, if I knew him.

He shook his head and said, "No, but you will be needing me in the next 21 days."

My Evil Crown Prince

WARNING: [R-18] Fairy tales usually end in happy endings. But the life of a royal is not always a lap of luxury. Twelve years ago, she became the Crown Princess and the fiance of the next King of Flousia, but a strict rule was given to her that the engagement should be kept a secret. Alira Eleanor Wilson was the daughter of the wealthiest family in the country. As an heiress, she was treated like a delicate flower—always guarded and protected. And she was good at following the rules. At the age of six, she got engaged to the Crown Prince of the neighbouring country. But after the engagement, she was sent back home and never seen him again. Caden Hulls-Richards became the secret heir to the throne of Flousia at the age of six. He became the Crown Prince when the kingdom was at war with the mafia. He got engaged to Alira, his childhood crush, but was separated from her because of some circumstances. They were childhood sweethearts. He was the sweetest boy when they were young. He was her first love and being the crown princess she felt like fairy tales were real. But twelve years without seeing each other and years of longing and hope, Alira felt betrayed and abandoned. She had enough of always following the rules and being protected all the time. She decided to join her friends in a group date, but ended up being caught by none other than her fiance. And what if she discovered her prince charming had two identities? A crown prince by day and the boss of the most notorious Mafia Clan by night. Can she perfectly portray both role as the crown princess and the future wife of a mafia boss? ****************************************** EXCERPT: Her eyes widened while looking at Caden's naked body. But what made her heart beat faster was when he turned to look at her. His eyes seemed so cold and distant. As if he wasn't the Caden she knew. He stared at her like she was someone he didn't know. "C-Caden, I-I'm sorry. I called your name b-but you didn't answer." She stuttered. She was supposed to run away when Caden walked toward him. She froze and couldn't take a single step. His upper body wasn't full of scars, but it was full of tattoos. He had a rose tattoo on his neck, a skull pierced with a sword, and wings on his chest. THIS IS A SEQUEL OF MY BOOK MY EVIL BOY TOY!

I Choose You (A Nigerian Romance): Book 1 & 2

(Please note that this book is currently unedited) Vol 1~ I Choose You. (Completed) 'No matter what, No matter the time, No matter the place, No matter the century, No matter what's to come, I. will always. CHOOSE. YOU'. Everyone saw her as crazy..... But he saw her as nothing less than perfection. ................... Blurb: "Why?" was the only thing he said. Confused I asked "Why what?" "Why do you always do this to yourself?" the tone in which he spoke almost seemed like he was heartbroken about something. "Do what?" I dared to ask, although I knew already within me I wouldn't like his response. "Conceal your worth" ....................... *Btw book 1 is completely free to read* ....................... Vol 2~ No Matter What. (Completed) Blurb: As I gazed up to him because of how tall he was, he stared right back at me. I could feel the heat not only on my cheeks but on every single part of my body. "Say those words Rica. Say those two little words and I will make that little fantasy in your pretty head into reality" I gulped. Gone was the playful smirk that was once residing on his face. The intense look in his eyes now replaced that. With the little courage I could muster I whispered "Kiss me" A broad smile immediately streched out on his face. He didn't even wait a second before he swiftly complied to my request. ................ After two long years, the heir to the Zora enterprise is finally back. Why is he back after so long? But most importantly, why did he leave in the first place? Join Dili and Rica once again in their ever blissful rollercoaster of emotions. Will Rica be able to forgive Dili for leaving? After all he was the same person that promised he would never leave her all alone. Drama, love, pain, secrets, new characters and also maybe the jiggling of wedding bells? Book 2 most definitely has it all. ................ If you like this small insight of the story then please read on. The only thing I can guarantee you in this story is that it will definitely have a happy ending although for the two characters Rica and Dili to achieve that, they would have too pass through many difficult obstacles on their way to happiness. And trust me this isn't your normal Teenage story that is filled with rainbows and sunshine,(probably seems way too cliché writing this but ehn) there are a lot of gloomy days. If you don't mind that then please by all means do read on. .................. DISCLAIMER!: Note, this is a pure work of fiction. An original story by me.

Golden Oak is known to be the school of the rich and famous. However, the Bronze Class is where the students who got admitted because of sponsorships or scholarships.

Andrew Cross was the CEO of a shipping company as well as the next successor of Cross Realty. His father asked him to persuade Nina's family to sell the shop as part of his training as the heir. He belongs to the Platinum Class of Golden Oak College. When Andrew visited the ramen shop, Nina begged him to save her and her sisters from some gangsters who were asking his father to pay off his debt. "How much is it? I'll pay for it." He said. "Ten million dollars or we'll get these girls and sell them to the underground cartel." One of the men answered. "Please help us. Please save my sisters." Nina begged. It wasn't the first time they met, she's friends with some rich kids that he hang out with and met her there. She hated him. But he was the only person who could help them now. Andrew looked at the girl who was begging in front of her. Her face was tilted up looking at his face. Her hazelnut eyes were sparkling from tears. Her red plump lips has a small cut in the lower part and her left cheek was swollen. Did someone hit her? He gritted his teeth but tried to hide his reaction from her. She wasn't like the women he dated. She wasn't classy or sophisticated but there was something in her that mesmerized him. "How do you plan on paying me?" He asked. "I'll do everything you ask. I-I'll give you myself." She suddenly blurted. She was so innocent. She doesn't even know what was playing in his head when she said that. He brushed his hand to her cheeks and wiped the tears flowing from her face. "Then I'll buy you and your shop for fifteen million dollars. From now on, I own you. You belong to me." He said with a wide grin on his face. ******************************** **Book cover is mine.
