Yan Ng is the poorest student at Two Bridges Academy. While her peers are heiresses to great fortunes, her family struggles to get by selling treats at their small humble bakery. Lucky for them, Yan is at the top of her class. But behind closed doors, she feels inadequate as if nothing she ever does is enough.

Enter Maia and Ainsley, two girls who swoop in and make her a part of their friend group. For the first time, she feels like she belongs at her preppy private school, but that's because they've confused her family for the owners of Ng Corporation, a massive overseas distribution company. Yan plays along, lying as much as she could to stay with her new rich friends.

But when someone from her past threatens to expose her secret after a horrible misunderstanding, she must lie even more to cover her tracks. Can she hold up her elaborate facade or will she be exposed as one of Two Bridges's four charity cases?All Rights Reserved

Cold Hearted Devil For A Partner by Kadenereadaholic

Joshua Taylor. Whenever people hear that name, they would shake with fear. Why? Because that name belongs to the school's bad boy. He was mysterious, rude, cold hearted and is always getting in trouble. He was a cold hearted player who didn't care about anyone. Most people fear him and even though he treats them like a used washcloth most girls would give anything just to date him. They'll even throw themselves at him hoping he'll care for them. Alexandra Miller wasn't one of those girls though. She is a regular girl who always gets good grades and would rather sit in her room reading a book all day than go out. She tries to avoid drama and didn't care much for guys like Joshua Taylor. What would happen when all of that changes? What would happen when Alexandra has a run-in with Joshua? Would he make her life a living hell? Maybe... One thing is for sure, Alexandra wishes that she didn't have anything to do with the bad boy. Also, she wishes she hadn't built a chemistry with him because with his reputation it could only lead to heartbreak. ****** Thanks for checking out my story. Please keep in mind that this was my very first book, so it isn't my best. It's very tacky and cliché. My other stories have improved and are way better. **** Wonderful cover made by @Qveen_Neisha_Boo

The Sky Hid by vibewith_skyy

Mora, once innocent and sheltered, begins a new life at a prestigious academy. But as chilling secrets about her past-and the world around her-begin to unravel, she starts to wonder: Was any of it ever real, or was she living inside a web of lies? What starts as a search for truth spirals into something far darker. Mora realizes she isn't just uncovering secrets-she's walking a path someone designed for her. A pawn in a deeper, crueler game. Can she break free from a fate she never chose? Antagonist (Kairos): "They call it fate. I call it design. You don't lose when I take your will-you lose the moment you believed you ever had it. Fate isn't cruel. It's exactly methodical." Aaron: "People always think peaceful places are so damn perfect. But peace can be heavy too, can't it? Like silence that never lets you speak." Mora: "I never asked to be everyone's perfect doll-no thanks. Perfection's just a fancy cage wearing a pretty face. If it thinks it can keep me locked in, it's got another thing coming. Time to say goodbye, and don't let the door hit you on the way out-with grace, okay sweetheart." Tagline: "She didn't ask to be saved. She only wanted not to be unseen." --- Content Warning: This story contains emotionally charged content and intense scenes, including psychological trauma, manipulation, and grief, as well as vivid combat sequences involving blood, injury, and high-stakes confrontation.
