    {Previously known as Kainaat} | Completed on Scrollstack | In a web of lies, even the truth can strangle you. Trinity Academy is more than just a school-it's a kingdom, ruled by the rich, the powerful, and the ruthless. Beneath its golden halls, secrets fester, scandals thrive, and betrayals are just another form of currency. The students? Beautiful, untouchable, and drowning in their own sins. Trinity isn't just their playground-it's their sanctuary, a place where even the darkest truths are carefully concealed under layers of gold and glitter. Kainaat Sharma, a scholarship student, walks in, with no intention of playing their games. But the elites don't take kindly to outsiders, especially ones who refuse to bow. She's caught in their world, tangled in their scandals, and dragged into a storm she never saw coming. And in Trinity, you either learn to play the game or get buried beneath it.

    Highest Ranks: |Mystery/Thriller #1| |Action #3| I was trained my whole life to disarm a grown man using nothing but a credit card, nail files, and a sock if I'm lucky. Becoming a cheerleader sounded laughable compared to everything I've done. But I soon learn that balancing spirit weeks, cute boys, and curling wands along with nuclear weapons, evil psychopaths, and rogue agents is a lot more work than I thought. I mean would you suspect a varsity cheerleader to be a spy working for the CIA? Or Interpol? The FBI maybe? Of course not which is why it works. Never judge a book or a girl by her cover. ••BOOK 1 IN THE JUST UNDERCOVER TRILOGY•• *cover by @THEICEWOLVES

    Synopsis: She was Elvira, the Saintess of the Radiant Church, one step away from divinity. Now, she has fallen into the ruthless Eastern Cultivation World, waking up in the body of Ye Qingluan-a "waste" with no Spirit Root, destined to be drained of blood to fuel her genius sister's cultivation. No mana? No cultivation base? A lifespan of minutes? Elvira sits in the ruins of a courtyard, wiping blood from her lips with the elegance of a queen, and smiles. "Barbaric mortals. Who told you that becoming a God requires cultivation?" In a world of dog-eat-dog survival, she doesn't cultivate Qi; she harvests souls. With the Eye of Judgment to see through sins and Holy Light to perform miracles, she turns the established order upside down. While cultivators fight to the death for a single pill, Elvira sits upon her throne, watching as the most powerful Sect Masters kneel before her. She brings not the Dao, but the Gospel. "Kneel. Believe in me, and gain eternal life."

    She arrives in the city hoping to disappear. After her older brother's sudden death, Katherine leaves behind the only home she has ever known, carrying nothing but grief and the belief that distance might quiet the past. In a place where no one knows her name, she builds a life in silence-working mornings in a small café on the edge of a busy financial district, learning how to exist without being seen. Before she leaves, she finds a hidden box in her brother's room. Inside are letters she was never meant to see. Most of them are simple at first-ordinary words, familiar handwriting, fragments of care she doesn't fully let herself read. She only opens a few before closing the box again, leaving the rest untouched as if keeping them sealed might keep something else from unraveling. In the city, life settles into routine. Early mornings. Familiar faces. The comfort of being unknown. It should be enough. But it isn't. A man begins to pass through her world each day-always at the same time, always just out of reach of notice. He does not speak to her. He does not look at her like she is anything more than part of the background. And she does not recognize him. Not once. And yet, something about his presence begins to linger where memory should be clear. As fragments of her brother's past begin to surface in small, unsettling ways, Katherine starts to understand that distance does not always mean escape-and some things follow you quietly, long after you think you've left them behind.

    "He thought I was the perfect wife. I was actually his silent executioner." For sixteen years, Clara lived in a gilded cage. To the world, Ashton Sterling was a billionaire visionary. To Clara, he was a master manipulator who tore down their daughter's dreams as easily as he lied about his whereabouts. Clara didn't scream. She didn't leave. She stayed. And she started counting. One secret late-night text. One unexplained wire transfer. One perfume-stained collar. Each one was a stroke in her notebook. 147. That was the count when she finally shattered his world and sent him to a prison cell. But as the steel doors slammed shut, the real nightmare began. From behind bars, Ashton's reach is longer than she imagined. Unmarked packages filled with stalking photos. A GPS tracker hidden beneath her car. Cryptic texts threatening their daughter, Emma. Ashton thinks he's still the puppet master. He thinks Clara is still the woman afraid of her own shadow. He's wrong. With the help of a man who has nothing to lose and an FBI team closing in, Clara is no longer just surviving. She is setting a trap. Because if Ashton wants to play a game of life and death, Clara has one final entry for her notebook. The 148th lie will be his last.

Sounds unlikely? *** Ella is an overworked college student whose only plan is to get through her college swiftly & proficiently. Sounds simple enough- but when she comes across a personal diary that sparks her curiosity, it is suddenly proven a little more than a speed bump. Ella is intrigued, maybe even enamored....

Even though she has a pile of college assignments demanding her time, Ella makes it her mission to search for the unknown writer.
