"Dad, I want to.. I want to sing! I want to pursue music!"
"What are you thinking Lyra? You can't do that, you know what that doctor said. You're going blind, you won't be able to see anything once you turn 13. How would you read words? Play instruments? Understand lyrics!?"
Crying, my eight year old self whispered softly, "I know I can do it. Please, I'll do anything until I'm 20 years old. Just let me do this one thing. Please trust me.."
My father sighed, obviously disappointed by my choice, but knew he couldn't win this fight.
"Alright then. I'll give you until you are 17 to prove that you have make a career out of music. If you can't I'm going to arrange you a marriage for when you are 19 years old. Understand?"
"Yes father." I whispered, feeling defeated yet proud that I had to chance to pursue music.
The question now was "Will I fail?"

Protecting You ("The Shadows" Series: Book I)
"We are here with you." She said and hugged me with gentleness. My shoulder sagged in relief as I hugged her back. She broke the hug and caressed my hair. "You know her?" Ryan asked, confusion evident in his voice. Wow!!! He never showed his emotion in public. Maybe his family being here made him act like a normal guy!! "Yes. I gave her photo to you after your meeting yesterday." His father said as he came by my side and patted my back. I gave him a small smile. I had never met him and his wife before, but the closeness between him and and my father was evident by the way his forehead held creases and by the tension all over his face. Still he was making me feel like a daughter to him. "Which photo?" He asked and suddenly the realization crossed his eyes. "Is she-" "The one you will be marrying Ryan. She is your soon-to-be wife." His father declared as he looked at me with shock. "Did you know that?" He said, his face void of any emotion. I nodded while looking anywhere but him. He cursed under his breath and his mother was about to scold him for that when he looked at me in anger and frustration. I gulped. This is not good....this is so not good!!! ••• Can be read as a standalone. Highest ranking #1 in gangs #1 in partners #1 in theshadowsComplete

Fingers stained black
Many forget that the goddess of love was born from the raging sea, but she would do anything to protect her daughter. Adora was Aphrodite's last daughter. Her mother kept her hidden. But, her mother isn't the only one who can keep a secret, especially in a world where your role in society is everything. For there was a prophecy long before she was born: 'Aphrodite's last child would be the one to take the throne, Her paternity unknown. They would carve her face and never forget, for she would be the most beautiful that they had met Cursed for the same fate as her mother Forced to leave her love for another The only way she shall break this curse is if she defeats the first' "Looks like the princess doesn't need saving after all." He says, quietly enough that no one else would hear, as he draws his hand away from my arm. I glare back at him. "Maybe she never did," I walk away, not sparing a single glance back, no matter how much my body was begging me to. I fuss over my hair, pouting as I run my fingers through it to put it back into place. *A warning note* I am not an expert on Greek Mythology, but it interests me greatly. Please excuse any inaccuracies in the book, but if there are any please do message or comment it and I will see if I can change it without making such a huge difference to the plot. Also, my main character is autistic and the experience will be different for everyone. I have tried my hardest to put down on paper how I feel and how I believe others see me. So, please be respectful about the decisions my characters make as I have chosen to give them many different types of neurodivergent brains. I have tried my best to represent these in the most accurate light whilst not romanticising them.Complete
