Novels by Sparkles

LumiI walked through the library, books balanced in one hand, shrugging my backpack higher onto my shoulder."Is it her?""Yes, she cheated and got a scholarship," I paused, standing frozen mid-movement. This was the fourth person that has said that since I stepped out today. Coincidence? I didn't know but I did know that my bestie was still waiting for me. I scoffed, standing up straight. I didn't cheat anyway. I waved at Alina, who sat a mile away, but she didn't wave back — instead, her eyes darted between me and her laptop.I dropped the books on the table and took the seat opposite her, "What's wrong? Are your results that bad?"Alina looked up at me but she didn't smile, rather pressed her lips into a thin line. I raised a brow, rising up and moving to her side, "Is it really that bad?"I peeked at her screen but she covered it quickly with her head. I sighed, standing up straight as I stared at her. Alina pulled a smile onto her face and I shrugged, returning to my seat.

"What's —" The other party didn't let me finish and spoke up quickly, tears welling up at the corner of her eyes."Why did you take my essay?" her voice crack as she spoke and I could only stare at her face as she struggled to clean her tears with the hem of her sleeve. Who was she?I shook my head, ignoring her as I attempted to enter the Dean's office but she stood in my way. "Why are you running away?" she questioned, "Are you too scared?"I paused, scanning her face. She didn't look familiar, so why did she speak like as if she knew me. "What are you talking about?" I asked, a brow raised. I pushed past her and she stumbled dramatically to the side.I turned to catch her tear-filled eyes. I frowned, folding my arms beneath my chest. Who was she putting on this act for? And why? It didn't matter. I had to get to the dean before there was no way to save myself. I pushed past her, and she stumbled dramatically to the side. My eyes widened as I held out a hand to help her but sh

LumiI blinked, and that was when Alina's words rang in my ears. The people here succumbed to power. I turned towards the lady beside me, her clothes were shabby, compared to the designers that everyone here paraded in. And she had a tiny line of a necklace peeking out. An already faded gold necklace but she still had it on, and took great measures to hide it. "And I will make the decision for the board, your scholarship is now revoked."My eyes widened. A sharp cruel decision. He didn't blink, his eyes burning holes into my body. My jaw tightened. The door is pushed open, and I turned towards the door. A man stepped in, he looked oddly familiar. His blue eyes glistened under the lights, and staring at them, someone crossed my mind. The only person I knew also had such features — My brother's best friend, Anton. A tiny smile tugged at the corner of my lips, finally someone I could recognize. "Anton!" The Dean said, his voice slightly pitched higher. My eyes stayed on Anton as h

Valeria I opened the drawer and scrambled for a phone hidden beneath piles of files. The only phone I had that wasn't already monitored was my father. I texted Kane with just three words. “I'm ready.” A knock came on the door and I jumped, startled, I quickly hid the phone before leaving to go open the door. Reina stood at the door step, her gaze buried in the papers in her hands. She snapped her head up the moment she heard the door open. “What were you doing?” She asked, cocking her head forward and trying to get a glimpse of the room. I blocked her view, “What else can I do?” I asked, and she returned her gaze to me, her eyes scanned my body and paused on the hem of my sleeve. She stared for a while before looking up to catch my gaze. She handed the papers to me and I collected it from his hands. “These are the papers you need for your appointment tomorrow.” She said and I glanced through the papers, my identity card and the information on the person who would perform

Laurel"So you did know why I was here," I stated and he smiled. "I was worried you would never realize," he replied, and a frown settled on my face. The smile on his face made the hairs on my skin raise. "Why were you asking me about that when you knew fully well what happened?" I asked. He raised a hand in the air, "I actually didn't." he said and I scoffed. What right did I even have to ask him questions? If anything, he should be the one asking me why I tricked him years ago.I stared at him as he ate, I couldn't get married to him. I was supposed to avoid him but I still needed him. I grabbed a cup of water on the table but just as I was about to take a sip, the realization hit me — he had been back for a long time. I looked up to catch Ronan's eyes. He stared back for a while before he spoke. "Don't worry, I won't make you pay," he assured.I really wanted to hit him at that moment but I restrained myself. "Were you the one that helped Dad?" Roman blinked, "Yes," "That m

Lottie. I switched on the lights, and scrambled backwards the moment I saw who it was. It was him. He was back. Auren stared intently at me, and I was still back, unsure which student he would pull now. He tilted his head slightly, “am I really that scary?” he asked, and I snapped out of it. “No,” I responded, my words barely audible. I kept my eyes on him as I walked deeper into the room, but I didn't dare go to my room, not yet. “Why are you back home so early?” I asked. He raised a brow, checking the time on his phone before turning back to me. “Am I?” he asked. “The time seems completely fine to me,” he added. The time was fine. It was just 9pm. It was normal for everyone but him, he never came home this early. Even on the day he had told me about his company's sudden debts. “Alright,” I smiled, attempting to make my way to my room but his words froze. “Where are you coming from?” he asked. “I tried to find some money,” I responded quickly before he could say more. Aure

Astrid“Guess I will do it” I raised a brow not sure of what he meant.“I am sorry. What did you say?” I asked and he smiled before walking out of the door.FLASHBACKACE’S HOME“You aren't really doing your job. Ace” The person said and he rolled his eyes.“I don't think you should get to tell me what to do” Ace sat down on the couch.“You have to be fast with the mission the boss can't wait anymore”“I am still studying her doesn't he prefers intel than murder moreover I went for intel only”“I don't know but that is what the boss wants I don't think you should question him.”“Okay!” He said and the person left. Ace slumped on his seat contemplating on what to do.All I had was a peaceful dinner with after he came to pick me up I didn't bring up anything for the fear that he would suspect his plan had been detected.“Welcome. Had a nice lunch with him?” Damon asked and I raised a brow at him I couldn't remember telling him anything about it.“Nice Lunch!? how did you know?” I asked

Astrid“Why did he actually did that?” Ace asked and I sighed, he didn't seem to know what had transpired between us before intact many do not know.“We are married” I said firstly to see his reaction and his eyes widened in shock. “We are not really married anymore but we once were and it did not end well. He left me for his first love” I remarked his expression expected actually that is what everyone would do.“He still had the gut to do that disgusting thing to you. Does he really have no shame?” Ace said, I could feel his anger he looked like he was fuming in anger for what he did but he couldn't possibly beat him up. Could he?“It is expected that has always been his attitude from. The very start but I was too blind in love to understand. So it is my fault” I said and I could hear him trying to sympathies with me but I stopped him.“Thank you for youe help. I will treat you to lunch” I said and he nodded walking out. I got up to look out the window to cool my mind and I sighted Da

AstridThis person looked a lot like Damon!? “Damon!” I called out but he shook his head negatively.“I am not Damon, I am Ace, a new employee looking forward to working with you” I smiled as I walked out of the place.Arriving at the restaurant for he reserved a lady walked up to me and asked “Are you Miss Eleanor?” I nodded with a smile on my face and she led me to meet Calvin.“You are here already? Have a seat!” He said and took out a seat for me he was acting like such a gentleman.“You called me over, I guess you are ready to sell the company” I said ready to take out the contract for it to be signed. Seeing me in the company earlier today must have made him scared to the gut.“Not yet, but I have a better deal to propose to you” He said but although a bit disappointed I still wanted to hear his proposal.“Please speak” Heaeing my words a sinister smile crawled up on his face.“You could sign a partner's deal with me, one in which you would be able to be considered a major shareh

Astrid"You are not Damon" I screamed before I was hit by a metal rod blacking out at once.Next Morning I looked around me finding I was lying comfortably on the bed and it was in a well built room to be precise."Where am I?" I couldn't help but wonder as I got up to my feet."Go back to sit!" He said walking in with a tray in his hands."Damon" I said in suprise."I saw you on the floor under the powering rain what happened?" He asked."I saw a figure knocking me out and I woke here" I said."Who is it?" He asked."You maybe?" I said and he raised a brow at me."What do you mean me?, I don't have split personality disorder nor a twin" he said and I shook my head."You both look a lot alike,I couldn't differentiate." I said and he looked disappointed."Oh great now I have to look for a person who looks like me." He said."What a clue you gave." He added and I smiled."It is so good seeing you frustrated it gives me joy" I said making him give me a hard glare.Omniscient Han Corpor

"What!" I asked looking at the phone in awe what was written on the news was probably the must terrifying thing for an actress like ME!.It was pictures of Damon coming out of my house and there was some other pictures of us together. How did the paparazzi get this."It shouldn't be you, Damon" I said calling Damon's number fuming in anger he wouldn't be so desperate to do such a thing,he literally said he would give me nore time."Don't tell me you did it." I asked and I could hear his chuckle from the other side he actually did do it that cold and stern guy."Come to the company,let us talk." Damon said, I could feel that his voice was filled with happiness, at this point I needed no one to confirm for me he was totally the one."Oh I will talk with him." I said and jumped out of bed, Damon was going to have a taste of what it was to offend a woman like me.I got ready and drived to his company, I walked out of the car to see Damon standing outside of the company like as if he was w

AstridNIGHT TIME CROWN HOTELThere was blasting music it was as good as I planned it to be, I got back into entertainment industry making a acting debut and I hosted this party for myself. I was an actress before my parents got killed and I took over their company which was now in Calvin's hands.I turned around as I heard her voice."You actually got invited here?" Judy asked with a little sarcastic chuckle while she looked down on me. Hearing the arrogant tone of hers made my blood boil in anger. Nonetheless, I forced a smile out of courtesy. "What freaking luck you got!" Judy remarked, shaking her glass of wine with an eye roll. I could clearly sense the disgust in her look as she ogled at me from head to toe. How dare she!? Only if I could snatch that smirk off her face. "You came to my welcome party, Judy. And under my roof you are running foul remarks for me. Quite bold of you.” I settled her with a light chuckle. Judy was someone I wasn’t really expecting that night.She rea

CHAPTER 1 : THE GAME STARTSAstridHILLTOWN PACKING LOTI looked down at the result in my hands and a smile broke out on my face. It was finally happening I had waited for years to have this baby and I couldn't wait to tell him the news.I smiled to myself immediately I caught sight of Calvin's car. He must have been concerned about having a child; we had waited five years, and it was finally happening. I wonder what his reaction will be.I was only a few steps from his car when I saw him. I would feel less stressed if I could call him. "Ca..!" The next sight shook me to my core: Judy was with Carter."No, it could not be..." I reassured myself as I hurriedly approached the alley I saw them enter; it could be that they caught sight of each other, or I was having hallucinations."Ca—cal—calvin!" I trembled at the sight of him making out with her in such a place and at such a time."You told me you would forgotten about her. Right? "What are you all doing here?" I gulped; there must be

ParisI looked before me and the man who was supposedly suspicious pulled out a gun and I docked lower as I saw him shot.I previously thought my life wasn't in danger since they wanted something from me but this proved me otherwise.The hotel got into chose as a gun shot was heard and in this choas Lucian pulled my hand and we ran off through the backdoor just before it got crowded.After running miles I stopped to take a breather as I said "Luci, I think we lost them we can take a break now" I tried to catch my breath as layed back against the wall in the corner."I thought they wanted something from me? Why did they now want my life?" I asked and he scoffed he seemed not really that suprised that all this was happening.He seemed prepared but Luci was just that adaptive and I wasn't willing to doubt him he was my only help."He isn't from the same gang. Infact he isn't even from a gang he is a killer." He said and my eyes widened who could I have offended that was after my life?"A

Paris I opened my eyes slowly but I couldn't see anything they had my eyes covered and I couldn't see a thing but I did her their voices."You are finally awake? I was thinking I got you here for nothing. So... Where is the map?" The voice sounded thick and hoarse but I couldn't seem to recognise it from any where."Which...which map?" I asked confused at their words but my question only seemed to aggrievate them, as I heard the chair shift back harshly and he got up in anger."Don't pretend like you don't know what we are talking about the whole realm knows that you have the map don't act dumb" he hit the table beside shivered in fear.I would have really said where the map was but I had no idea what they were talking about, I was really scared for my life at this moment though I was used to such treatment from Ethan and I am supposed not to be scared but he was never ready to kill me? These ones seemed more than ready."I really don't know what you are talking about. But if it's mo

NinaShe opened her eyes slowly to see her hands tied behind her and she was kept in a car, she struggled as she screamed at the top of her lungs"Let me out! Whoever is there should let me out.” She screamed at the top of her lungs as she banged hand on the boot of the car.The boot was opened and she anticipated who was there who could have tied her down like this from a VIP lodge in a high class hotel. “Sylvester?” Her face was filled with confusion was he here to save her.“It is better you don't continue screaming or your punishment will be doubled” his voice sounded different and only then did I notice that it wasn't him. He signaled to some people who pulled her out of the car.“Wait where am I? Where is this place? And where are they taking me to?” She asked, He scoffed as he walked closer to her “I already said, no questions”She struggles to break free from the bond they put her in but all her efforts was in vain soon enough came in another bunch of guys who beat her up till

Nina“Hello..hello..can you hear me?” My father's voice snapped me out of my thoughts as I removed the phone from my ears and placed the phone on speaker so he could hear.“What do you mean? You told me to go to Caspian that the city wasn't safe. Don't you remember?” I asked, but his voice sounded confused and afflicted as Caspian looked at me weirdly; this was everything far from what I wanted.“I don't, I didn't tell you to do that. I can never…” He said, desperation obvious in his voice, and my heart ached. What exactly was going on? Why was everyone so…? “Wait, give the phone to Caspian.”I raised a brow as I asked, “How do you know I am with him?” I asked, and all I heard was a scoff from the other end as Caspian took up the phone, putting off the speaker, and walked away to receive the call while I paced back and forth in his room.Though it was a part of my plan to come here in the first place, after that message, there was no way I could, and I sure didn't want him thinking th

NinaI turned back sharply to see it was Caspian behind me. I rushed to him as I held his arm. “What is wrong in your house? Why is everywhere so silent?” I asked, but he didn't seem interested in my question.“I asked what you are doing here. This isn't somewhere you can be,” he said, and just at that moment, I heard a sound from a corner, most likely the corner he was coming from, and my curiosity getting the best of me, I inched forward.“Who was that?” I asked as I did, and he pulled me back, dragging me towards the back of a pillar in the house as he signaled for me to keep quiet.Still making sure his hands were placed on my lips, he peeped out from the pillar, carefully scanning with his eyes whoever he didn't want to see me. “I already told you. You shouldn't be here,” he said finally pulling his hand off my lips, probably because the coast was finally clear.“So what's wrong? What exactly are we hiding from, and why did you just start to ignore me after you greatly disrespect
