Fear
Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped. I was held against my will. Tortured. Starved. Broken apart, piece by piece. All in the name of "curing" me. He didn't just steal my freedom. He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined my life, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic. He's given me this journal and I'm going to write my story. This is my truth. My confession. My war cry. Because what he did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS TRAUMATIC CONTENT!

Live this one month with Emma. Understand the kind of woman she is. "It's 1st of December, 2012. I received this thick black spiraled diary as a gift from my late mother. She always said that this diary would show me more patience than people and I should write my heart out when there's no one special enough to listen... to confide in. It was my 12th birthday. I'm 16 now and guess what? I really don't have anyone to share my crazy thoughts or stupid feelings. If I ever start doing it... People would assume me mentally sick and tie me to a chair and start stuffing me with aspirins and sedatives. And that's definitely not the way I want to go down. So, I'm just starting to write in this diary until and unless I find that special one to share everything and nothing with."Complete
BROKEN
A love journal. A journal that talks about overcoming heartbreak. A journal that has fragments and thoughts of what it felt like loving Him. I wrote this because I know how heartbreak feels and I know that sometimes, we just want to die. I started writing this when I was in love and even though I don't love him anymore, I still haven't finished writing. Hope I can make you see how I felt and how I get better every day. Maybe I'll help, maybe I won't. But at least try reading this, see for yourself if everyone breaks the same way. After all, maybe I can help someone in pain. A healing soul talking to a broken one. *disclaimer: people forget to heal so you might end up hating me.
