A slave to her own mind and a mere to pawn in this game of chess, a young adult is left to navigate and conquer her fairly new world. Caught in a web of lost memories, lies and deceit, finding someone to trust is hassle in a town fuelled from greed and riches.

The clock ticks as she unravels the tangled threads of her past, discovering that her journey of self-discovery might just uncover a truth darker and more devastating than she ever imagined-a truth that could shatter her world forever.

Will she succumb to the life she has been forced to learn to live or will the past find its way out to haunt her?

I slammed the table loudly and groaned out of pain. Not only the pain from the headache I was having right now. But also from the memories flooding my mind as well. I was slowly remembering everything. "I hate you!"I shouted seething from anger as I gritted my teeth to stop myself from attacking him. He was really tempting me and I knew it wouldn't be long before I would attempt to pull his face apart and rip out his throat. "Not more than I hate you Alexander Norman. Trust me." He said emphasising on the name that seemed so foreign to me yet that was my real name. He had a mischievous glint in his eyes as he seemed to enjoy the internal battle I was having in my head. " So back to my story-" He drawled in an attempt to irritate me before he continued. " Your mother married me because I had her secret and I threatened to ruin her with it if she did not give in to my wishes." "And what exactly was her secret?" I asked. "She killed your father." He responded and glanced at me probably waiting for my reaction at what he just said. ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● Scandals brew in the air once more. Lies in the web of deception and atrocities committed, he seeks to unravel them. Would the past rear its ugly head and untangle all the mysteries? Started[November 2022] Finished [August 2023]
