She doesn't let people in. Not anymore. Jaida has learned that control is safer than chaos, silence is safer than words, and distance is safer than attachment. She keeps her life carefully structured-her emotions even more so. Because if she loosens her grip even for a second, everything falls apart. Then there's Mason. He doesn't ask. He observes. He lingers. He notices things about her no one else bothers to see-and somehow, that becomes more dangerous than if he tried to break her walls outright. He's not supposed to matter. She's not supposed to react. But rules don't mean much when someone starts paying attention in all the ways you've spent your life trying to avoid. Jaida wants control. Mason has never needed it. And neither of them expected that the one thing they can't dominate... might be each other. A slow-burn story about obsession, emotional resistance, and what happens when the one person you refuse to let in refuses to leave.

Mistreatment to Millions is a powerful, emotionally charged novel about resilience, self-worth, and the quiet strength it takes to walk away-and win. At twenty-three, Rose works grueling hours at a warehouse while secretly building a dream no one believes in but her. Her boyfriend, Rodger, dismisses her ambition as a "silly little hobby," belittling her plans, her intelligence, and her belief that she's meant for more. When his cruelty escalates into an unforgivable act of destruction, Rose makes a choice that changes everything: she leaves. What follows is not an overnight miracle, but a steady, determined rise. Alone for the first time, Rose discovers peace in the silence, confidence in her independence, and power in her persistence. From a small apartment workspace and an online storefront, she builds a business rooted in intention, kindness, and grit-one that explodes into national success and transforms her into a self-made millionaire. As Rose rises, Rodger spirals-watching the woman he tried to shrink become everything he feared she could be. His attempts to reclaim control only expose his entitlement, while Rose's success proves that forgiveness doesn't mean access, and healing doesn't require looking back. Mistreatment to Millions is a triumphant story for anyone who has ever been underestimated, talked down to, or told their dreams were unrealistic. It's about choosing yourself, building something beautiful from nothing, and realizing-sometimes for the first time-that you were never asking for too much. You were asking the wrong person. And in the end, Rose proves what her brand promises: You got this.
