Teikoleon Stories

Jerome thought love meant endurance. He thought marriage meant sacrifice. He thought pain was normal... until the world saw the bruises on his heart. Living under Freda's roof felt like living in a cage. Every day came with commands. Every night came with insults. And every tear he shed was hidden in silence. But everything changes the day Sarah enters his life- a kind-eyed seamstress who sees the hurt he's been hiding. Her gentle words become comfort. Her small acts of kindness become hope. And her courage becomes the voice he never had. When Freda's cruelty finally explodes in front of the whole neighborhood, Jerome is forced to face the truth: Love shouldn't break you. Love shouldn't silence you. Love shouldn't hurt. With the help of Sarah and his loyal friend Joshua, Jerome begins a journey of healing, courage, and rediscovering his worth. But Freda isn't ready to let go. And Jerome must choose between the fear that held him captive... and the love that could set him free. "When Love Collides" is a story of pain, courage, redemption- and the unexpected love that rises from brokenness. WRITTEN BY JEROME TEIKOLEON
