"It's all a haze, a blur, a flash... and then you awaken yourself. You don't remember anything but the unclear images in your peripheral vision as you're running from something you can't reach... or perhaps you're running from something that can't reach you. You have no recollection of coming to a halt, no memory of running out of breath or becoming too tired that your bones and muscles refuse to function anymore. You just keep running.." my voice cracks unattractively.
"And then?" he  questions, his uncomfortable stare boring into mine.
"And then i wake up."
For months, Alessiana Crivello is held behind the bars and stained windows of a place that has both been tremendously building her wisdom and treacherously breaking her down bit by bit to the burning  core of her mental occupancy. She is certain that she has done nothing wrong to end up in such a cruel unstable sanitarium where she is held responsible for crimes and inconveniences she has not committed . This  was the first week. As the quick and easy days seldom come by, Alessiana soon realized that there is more to herself she has yet to uncover, more to herself she that she was so certain she knew before. She begins to find that nothing is as it seems, that she can't trust anyone, not even her own flesh and blood. The realization that being in this brutal mental institute has ripped her of her humanity, torn down every layer she thought she knew of , not only herself but others too.
  She also knows that something is off.. Terribly off. and the closer gets to the truth, the closer she is of losing all  control of herself in all forms, as well as others.

Will she ever forgive them for abandoning her? Will they ever be able to unveil her secrets? Where was she for all those years? This is story of a girl who was abandoned by her brothers when she was seven. Now, after 9 years, her brothers brought her back home. How will she deal with them, simultaneously dealing with the terrors that haunt her every night? Sneak Peak- Once we were out, I stopped and turned to face my blood relatives and said, "Okay, now that I am out you don't need to act anymore. Now, you guys can go back to your house and pretend that this never happened. I will go to my house and will make sure that we will not cross each other's path, even by accident." I was about to turn back when Ezekiel held my elbow, stopping me on my track. I immediately snatched my hand back glaring at him and said, "Do not ever touch me again." His eyes showed an emotion of hurt that I am sure I read incorrectly because one thing that Kensington brothers are incapable of was getting hurt by any outsider. And that was what I was. An outsider. Sensing the tension in the atmosphere Aldric took it upon himself to say whatever his brother was about to. "You are going with us." He spoke. One thing about Aldric Kensington was that once he has made his mind, there is nothing in this world that can change his decision. This is the very quality of his that made my life a living nightmare, and this is exactly why I hate him more than any of my brothers. "Let's go Athaliah," Ezekiel said this time. That name. No one has called me by that name in six years. "My name is Zahra," I corrected and continued, "And I am not going with you." #1 in running on 2/2/25 #1 in babysister on 15/12/24 #1 in brothersconflict on 27/12/24 #2 in abandoned #2 in broken #2 in abusing #2 in pastabuse #2 in nightterror #4 in olderbrother #3 in brokenfamily #5 in mafiaprincess #9 in siblings #34 in siblingrivalry #34 in littlesister #51 in misunderstood #58 in ptsd #59 in mafia

©2024 COPYRIGHTS. ❝It's you i want not your virginity, literacy or marriage count.❞ Nabeel became her shadow, her protector in a world that had abandoned her. He fought for her, bled for her, and, in the end, claimed her as his own. In his arms, she found not just love, but a savage devotion-something she never imagined she would experience in this lifetime. And as their worlds collided in passionate, dangerous harmony, Umaimah learned that love, when it finds you, doesn't come with the gentle caress of a fairy tale; it comes with the weight of a storm. Umaimah, a village girl with a heart heavy with desperation, was shackled by the cruelty of her adoptive parents, who treated her more as a servant than family. Her dreams, whispered in the dead of night, were filled with visions of escape-escape from the suffocating village that never saw her worth. Her first and only hope of salvation lay in marriage, but even that fate seemed to mock her. Three engagements had been broken, each leaving her more jaded, and now, at the ripe old age of "marriageable despair," she found herself cast aside, an unwed relic in a world that valued only brides. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. She was sent to the city as a maid-a meager consolation, but one that allowed her to slip away from her tormentors, to vanish into the sprawling anonymity of the urban jungle. She didn't just wish to escape; she needed to find her real parents, the bloodline that might redeem her.
