A lot of people here in my culture believe that our past does not affect our today and strongly abhor the idea of psychological help basing themselves with the myth that that's only for westerns or whites as they put it and its a sign of weakness , that somehow it vanishes and becomes simply forgotten, even if they don't they act like it which in reality isn't true at all. This is a true story that shares and proves how deeply our past affects us despite our denial. I'm southern African- specifically Mosotho and this is my story

Carlo : Ti salveró amore mio
Book two of Carlo. I think I've figured out why I always dwell on the pain so much; because unlike the happy moments, which are few in itself, the suffering leaves scars that make it hard to forget the pain. They serve as reminders you're forced to look at every single day. ------- Trigger warnings: - Self Harm - Rape / forceful behaviour - Eating Disorder - Hospitals - Trauma - Abuse (mentally and physically) - Violence ------- Some of the different languages might be rubbish because I got most of them off google. Please don't use my story, and copy it. *edited*Complete

BROKEN VOWS (Lucas & Emilia Book 1)
Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the "golden boy with a bright future" they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parents' property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucas & Emilia's story begins here: Book 1 of their Broken Redemption arc. Each couple's love story in the Broken Redemption Series is told over multiple books and forms a complete arc within this collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek. There's no required reading order, but if you'd like to start at the very beginning, you're right where you belong. Lucas & Emilia are the first couple, followed by James & Annelly, whose story begins with Broken Misery (Broken Redemption Series - Book 1 of their arc).Complete
