➤ STARTED SEPTEMBER 2021 ➤FINISHED FEBRUARY 2022 Adriana Hernandez has never known a normal life. Raised in secrecy by the woman she believes to be her mother, her childhood is filled with unanswered questions, half‑truths, and a constant feeling that something is being hidden from her. Then, everything shatters. Kidnapped by strangers, Adriana is torn away from the only life she knows and delivered to a family she has never met-a family she is told are her brothers. But beneath their polished smiles and guarded words lies something far more disturbing. The Hernandez family is fractured, powerful, and dangerously twisted by secrets that refuse to stay buried. What Adriana doesn't know is that her fate was decided long ago. Alessandro Hernandez ordered his "sister" to be brought to him when she was only five years old. Cold, calculating, and always watching from the shadows, he has been closer than Adriana ever imagined. As Adriana begins searching for the truth about her real father, she unknowingly walks beside the very man she seeks-unaware that the answers she wants could destroy everything she believes about herself and the family she's been forced into. A story of hidden identities, broken bloodlines, and a truth so dangerous it was never meant to be found COVER DESIGN BY MEComplete

White Lies (Book 1)
Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.Complete

Being alone? Check. Being afraid? Check. Being abused? Check times 3. Honestly, my life wasn't this bad before, not until I ended in foster care... SIKE! My life was always bad. From the moment I was born, I lived with an abusive father who blamed me for my mother's death, and even I couldn't disagree with him. Here are a few questions I am constantly asked: 'Do I do well in school?' No, are you kidding me? The only subject I'm good at is Visual Arts. 'Do I have a kind and caring family?' No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends.
