Fresh off the streets is a street kid named Mango. She has lived in Johannesburg, South Africa her whole life, but only discovered the cruelty of the streets five years prior, when her dear mother died.
She meets a police officer who offers her all she can dream of, but she has to refuse - it's too much of an offer to accept. She's kindly forced to live with the policeman's son, Khaya, who she finds quite intriguing.
She thought living on the streets was as bad as anything could get, until she realises how much it takes to get up after a million setbacks and unruly people. She realises living on the streets would be much better than the horror she is yet to face.

The Presidential Throne
The choices we make in life often come down to good or bad. Sometimes, though, we don't even get to make those choices ourselves. Looking back on every bad memory I can still recall, every pain I've endured that still feels etched into my flesh, I've come to learn one thing: faith. Faith taught me to survive-for my own sake and my own good. The one thing I feared most was losing my parents. Just the thought of it used to break my heart. I grew up living what many would call "the perfect life." At times, I thought I couldn't survive any life other than the one I had with my beloved parents. They were the two people I grew up loving deeply, without anyone else ever taking their place. Being the daughter of two well-known figures in our country was exciting and full of joy. But the idea that one day I might leave them behind-whether through marriage or other life changes-haunted me. It felt like losing a part of myself. Yet, looking back at everything I've been through, I realize that if those events hadn't happened, I wouldn't be the person I am today. This story is one of revenge, romance, love, hatred, and politics-a reflection of the struggles within our beloved country. Set in the fictional land of Wenturia, this tale will take you on an emotional journey. Check it out, and I promise you won't regret it!

SEQUEL TO CHECKMATE. However, you can read this as a stand-alone spin-off, BUT it will make so much more sense if you read Checkmate first. --- To put it briefly, Zedd is a homophobic asshole. His popularity is largely thanks to being a soccer jock. But he has a tendency of ruining friendships without even trying. Mitch thinks there's more to Zedd that meets the eye. He feels like he's hiding something. And that he is in danger. Where else could the bruises be coming from? But it's going to be harder for Mitch to help out his friend now that Zedd refuses to talk to him ever since a slight incident in the change rooms. --- Best rankings: #1 - comingoutofthecloset | #1 - suffering | #2 - hiddensecrets | #5 - homophobia | #7 - assault | #8 - acceptance | #12 - gaylove "It was a pleasure to make this journey with your characters. I think I never hate then love so much a character like I do for Zedd! The way he teached me that we should never judge a person until we know all his history because we could be surprised by who he is really. Thank you for these two beautiful stories." - @VanessaFerey --- WARNING: will contain coarse language and slurs, lots of innuendos and 3 mature scenes (a warning will be indicated and they are not critical to the plot so they can be skipped if not your cup of tea).

It wasn't his day to die. Over time his wounds healed, but his heart was forever scarred. The man who had made the Ultimate Sacrifice for him had tried to take his life all because he slept with the man's baby s mother. One year later and back on the streets, Khadafi wants nothing more than to punish the two men responsible for his near demise Tony Coleman and Ameen.

Antonio prays that the streets allow him to chill so that he never has to go back behind the wall. The streets, however, disregard this gangster's prayer and commits the most diabolical of deeds against him, resurrecting the old Antonio out of the trenches and back into beast mode.

The Man Named Death ✔
"I don't know what I did to make you hate me, I haven't done anything to warrant how you ignore me! Please, just tell me!" "I'm in love with you, damn it!" He roars. "I love you so much Aphrodite, and you scare me because you are so strong and I don't want to be the one to break you!" * Aphrodite Muerte is hiding something and so is her long term crush Thanatos Amaro. Both are helplessly in love with one another and both have very different approaches on how to hide it. Love makes you do crazy things and with Aphrodite and Thanatos, it's no different. Pretending to hate Aphrodite, Thanatos manages to hide his true feelings which takes a toll on both of them. Thanatos has no idea what he's doing. Past trauma rules over Aphrodite at night causing nightmares and panic during the day. Aphrodite has no idea how to live life outside of pain. Abuse has a way of shaping people, and she's barely mended from being so broken. Both have friends that force them closer but their love might just be the reason why they end up staying together. Afterall, someone can only stay away from the person they're in love with for so long. One argument and a couple of confessions later leaves them on a confusing path that has the opportunity to be beautiful or disastrous. Love is magical but it is also savage. For Aphrodite and Thanatos, they are each other's downfalls and each others saviors. How long they last is up to them. How much they go through to get together is up to fate. In the end, will they make it or will their love end in splinters and heartache? * WARNING: Mature Content (of all sorts).
