The Presidential Throne
The choices we make in life often come down to good or bad. Sometimes, though, we don't even get to make those choices ourselves. Looking back on every bad memory I can still recall, every pain I've endured that still feels etched into my flesh, I've come to learn one thing: faith. Faith taught me to survive-for my own sake and my own good. The one thing I feared most was losing my parents. Just the thought of it used to break my heart. I grew up living what many would call "the perfect life." At times, I thought I couldn't survive any life other than the one I had with my beloved parents. They were the two people I grew up loving deeply, without anyone else ever taking their place. Being the daughter of two well-known figures in our country was exciting and full of joy. But the idea that one day I might leave them behind-whether through marriage or other life changes-haunted me. It felt like losing a part of myself. Yet, looking back at everything I've been through, I realize that if those events hadn't happened, I wouldn't be the person I am today. This story is one of revenge, romance, love, hatred, and politics-a reflection of the struggles within our beloved country. Set in the fictional land of Wenturia, this tale will take you on an emotional journey. Check it out, and I promise you won't regret it!

MAYSA ✔️.
Copyright © 2025 {Completed} Maysa has always lived between worlds - the daughter of an Arab father and a Nigerian mother, raised in a home that looked perfect from the outside but was already breaking behind closed doors. From an early age, she learns what it means to be too much of one thing and never enough of another. After her father's death, the space between those worlds only widens. Rejected where she expects comfort and misunderstood where she seeks belonging, Maysa grows up carrying quiet losses, complicated family ties, and questions she's never been allowed to ask out loud. As she steps into adulthood, she is forced to confront what she's been taught about love, loyalty, faith, and womanhood - and what she actually believes. In a world where tradition speaks loudly and girls are expected to endure silently, she must decide who she is beyond survival. Then she meets Faruk - steady, patient, and unexpectedly gentle with the parts of her she keeps hidden. With him, Maysa begins to question whether love has to be painful, and whether softness can exist without loss. Maysa is a coming-of-age story rooted in culture, family, and faith. It explores identity, belonging, and the slow, fragile process of choosing yourself without losing where you come from. Soft, emotional, and deeply human, this is a story about a girl learning that strength doesn't always look like resistance - sometimes it looks like becoming.

Scars and Maybes
Wounds heal, but scars remain. So even with the possibility that one can accept and move forward, it's impossible to forget. Because there will always be an irremovable mark that will remind you of every bit of pain. Growing up without a mother was Zarih's first heartache. It scarred her more than anything else. She sees how her dad grieves for her mom all the time-even after years-and it breaks her. When Zarih learned about the possibility that she might have inherited her mother's heart disease, she knew she couldn't afford to love because she wouldn't want anyone to suffer at her death. She wouldn't want to love someone just to wound him at the end. It was easy not to fall in love, only if Ace Timotheo Salvador, her summer enemy, didn't dare touch her scars... as if they were the most beautiful parts of her existence. Zarih feels like losing it... She wants to love and be loved. Maybe he can heal her scars. Maybe their story is different from her dad's. Maybe they can have a happy ending. Or maybe... She should've not risked it at all. Maybe she could've not scarred her heart more. Finished: July 21, 2022Complete
