TALLA KNIGHT At the age of 18 I was raped coming home from a party and was left pregnant. This incident led to me being disowned by my parents because they didn't want me ruining their business image. With my mountain of debt slowing drowning me and making me nearly incapable of taking care of my daughter Sienna, I applied for a job at a rundown local bar that makes me work terrible hours for an even worse wage. On the fateful day when I got an urgent phone call from my parents saying a family dinner was taking place, I didn't think anything of it- other than the fact that I thought that they were going to try and convince me to give up my daughter once again. However, that night changed my life, because I came as a depressed, single mother and left as an overwhelmed, engaged woman to the biggest bachelor in America, Phoenix King. PHOENIX KING After the loss of my older brother Nathan in a fatal car crash three years ago, I've kept to myself and put all of my focus and effort into preparing to take over my father as the CEO of King's Lawyers, which is an international law firm that only employs the best lawyers. However, my parents had other plans for my future. I knew that they wanted me to have a family before I was 25, but I was currently too busy and too uninterested to put myself out there. What threw my entire life out of perspective, was when I went to a dinner with my parents to meet their old friends in law school, and somehow, I ended up engaged to a quiet and mysterious woman, who left promptly after signing the contract paper.

  • It hurts....the emptiness [reborn as Rebekah Mikealson]

***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.
