A breathtakingly beautiful artwork or a drastically tainted canvas ?

Conceived at the shadow of cruelty, Berlin grew up with only her name uncovered in her blurred ID card.
Berlin has shrugged on the gown of responsibility so early, assigning herself to raising a grown up -her own mother.
Her mother, a person with deranged mental faculties, has encountered an accident that left her with only basic skills; an accident that resulted in the conception of her beautiful daughter, Berlin.
Unfortunately, it's not just beauty Berlin was blessed with but also a mad sense of curiosity, which prompts her to open doors and ask questions she shouldn't.
Door after door, Berlin makes it to the imminent danger that throws her into the hands of a yet another mentally deranged person, Sivan, who was recently released from under involuntary admission to a mental institution.
But when Sivan kidnaps Berlin, who is still struggling to find her identity, demanding answers about his own losses, none of them anticipates what ensues;

UNHINGED (English)
BLURB THE DEVIL They locked me away. But even in that silence, she remains-Heat, the only thought that never left; the only person who taught me the logic of love. They said I had antisocial personality disorder. Maybe. But I loved her-in the only way I knew how. Yet her betrayal turned that love into anger. And then that anger festered into obsession. Now I'm free. The darkest part of me no longer wishes to hide. My obsession with her has become psychopathic. I don't want to hurt her; I want to haunt her. To own everything about her. Her scarred mind, body, and soul. Even her pain and fear. Most importantly, her heart. Shattered or whole, it doesn't matter. I intend to own it, every piece, without using force-she'll beg me to. ------ I. LITERARY / PSYCHOLOGICAL CONTEXT TRIGGER DISCLOSURE: Unhinged is written with literary, psychological, and psychodynamic depth in mind. It explores trauma, repression, projection, defense mechanisms, and personality pathology. The narrative is intentionally structured to mirror Heather's psychological experience - dissociation, vulnerability, and moral complexity - alongside Hugo's manipulative and psychopathic tendencies. Expect detailed psychological and archetypal mappings, Jungian shadow and anima/animus dynamics, and narrative architecture as emotion.

Repetition Compulsion
***[[COMPLETED!!]]*** [[Previously titled "Serendipity"]] Stranded at a graduate recruitment event after mentally breaking up with her then boyfriend, 20 year old Sera Seme meets the ever so sexy, charming and hopelessly intriguing Abimbola Blake. Shortly after this encounter, Sera's life seemingly starts falling into place: She gets the guy (even if its just for one night) the internship she wants, and is seemingly one step away from making all her dreams come true. But looks can be deceiving, because underneath her seemingly perfect life, Sera is filled with pain and sadness from her past traumas in life. Sera thinks she is just postponing having to deal with the pain and bitterness associated with events from her past, but little does she know that her grief is eating her from the inside out. Little does she know that what she is doing is not living at all, but rather re-enacting the most traumatic events from the past that she absolutely refuses to come to terms with. And as she tries to grasp this, and come to terms with it, she realizes that she is not the only one dealing with demons, and that the sooner she realizes the world doesn't revolve around her, the better. This book mostly tries to illustrate one of the most confusing psychological phenomena's to date; the "repetition compulsion." In 'repetition compulsion', a person repeats a traumatic event or its circumstances over and over again. This includes re-enacting the event or putting oneself in situations where the event is likely to happen again. While no hard-and-fast answers exist, this book tries to offer explanations as to why "just leave" is not an option for some individuals exposed to unstable or traumatic relationships.

Forever and a Day
Mariah Shures is a nice girl with a spitfire personality and a talent for bad luck. One normal day, she walked into Walmart for her usual once-every-two-weeks shopping trip. She turned into the feminine products aisle and slammed straight into a man she definitely wasn't forgetting anytime soon. He was dreamy. Doe-brown eyes. Slicked-back, almost-black hair. Perfect eyebrows. Lashes that should be illegal. A jawline carved by petty, vengeful angels. And those lips. Those full, pink, absolutely bite-able lips. God, she wanted to taste them. "Taste them? Pfft-more like swallow them." That was her brilliant internal contribution to the universe. Totally normal. Not unhinged at all. He was breathtaking-like a marble statue with working legs... and a gun barely concealed as he reached out a hand to help her up. "Ah hell. Not this again." Because yep-fun fact-Mariah's parents made a deal with a drug lord. In exchange for seven years of unlimited drugs and cleared debts, they offered... their only daughter. Parents of the century, truly. So she's been running. Literally running. And That Guy-the one from aisle five five seconds ago-yeah, he's still chasing her. Will she escape this lunatic? Or has her luck finally run out?
