**IM NO LONGER UPDATING THIS VERSION** There were a few minor inconsistencies with where I wanted the story to go later on so I decided to restart the story in order to not leave people who have already read so far confused. You can find the new version on my page. ************** She must leave her home, change her name, and give up her identity. Samira lives on Smauve, one of the seven dwarfplanets in the Banthaji Empire System. Because of her Iftar heritage, she's destined for a life of servitude... That is until a royal decree says that there is no longer a queen and all the most beautiful women of the Empire must compete for the position. In this fantastical retelling of the story of Esther, follow Samira on her galactic journey as she transforms from a slave girl to ELECTRA, heroine of the cosmos.

I wouldn't go so far as to call this poetry (which would imply that *I* am a poet), but I can safely call this a collection of musings, thoughts and sometimes badly strung up words about anything and everything.

Isabelle Seriake; the typical Miss goodie-two-shoes, a beautiful nerd, and a proud Christian. Bryan Adegun; the boy that doesn't care about books or studies, couldn't care less about religions, but is highly social and outgoing. They both find out that they have to get married to each other in the future because of a financial conflict between their dads. It all seems good, they both liked each other anyway. But they realize that there is more to the marriage deal than they thought. What is the reason for the messed-up marriage of the Adeguns? Could it be related to their arranged marriage? Why does Danna act the way she does? And Sharon, could there be something up with her too? . . . Bounded by a deal focuses on the life of Isabelle, Bryan, their parents, their siblings, and their friends. Parenthood, feelings, morals, thoughts and trust is questioned in the book. There is mystery, thriller, and of course, secondary school drama. Join them in their story as they navigate through life, make vital decisions, learn lessons and have both good and bad experiences.
