Strength Stories

When a custody battle needs a miracle, she marries one. Aileen Whitmore has spent her whole life surviving men like her father-controlling, cruel, and rich enough to get away with it. By twenty-five, she's a brilliant tech founder, a full-time parent to her thirteen-year-old sister Ingrid, and very done with the idea of ever needing anyone. Then their grandfather decides he wants custody. Her lawyer has one awful, perfect solution: a two-parent household, stable and respectable in the public eye. Translation: get married. Fast. Fortunately, Aileen's friend Tessa - PR guru for Red Bull Racing - has the best possible candidate for a marriage of convenience. Unfortunately... it's Max Verstappen - four-time Formula 1 World Champion, media nightmare, and the last person who wants more PR in his life. But he despises bullies more... and he's not blind to the fear in Aileen's eyes or the way Ingrid clings to her. The deal is simple: a love story convincing enough to keep their family together. No feelings. No mess. Just safety. That plan is perfect. Right up until the point they get punched in the face by reality. Chapters added every day 🏎️

The games were the only things that he was better at than his brother. But the only people he would trust, listen and care about were his two best friends. They were Arisu's only reason he enjoyed the life besides games. And what could possibly happen if he loses those reasons?

As the casket sank into the earth, a chilling scream pierced the air-sharp and raw, echoing my own past cries that had once gone unheard by those around me.

Just a few bits and pieces of poetry I've written over the years.

This is how I found peace after being misunderstood. This is what happens when the noise goes away and I can hear my own voice again. These poems came from times when I wasn't sure of myself, when I had to learn to let go, and when I had to learn to believe in myself. They are about taking my time to heal, being careful with love, and finding strength in the quiet places. It's not about being broken. It's about what you need to do to rebuild myself when the world keeps telling me that I don't deserve to be who I am, Themes: healing, survival, false blame, emotional abuse, self-forgiveness, resilience, and rebirth.
