She spends her days on the balcony, lost in thought, searching for a way back home. Until Francis, her stepcousin, finds her at her lowest. He sees past her scars, past the truths she tries to hide. And in the midst of her unraveling, he offers her something she never expected. Love, he calls it.
Your therapy
Ella is a 19-year-old girl living in the heart of America. She has a quiet resilience about her, a strength forged through personal trials that many her age might not understand. With deep, expressive eyes that seem to hold stories untold, and a cascade of dark hair, she often feels like she's a bit out of place among her peers. Ella carries herself with a quiet dignity, never seeking the spotlight but always drawing it unintentionally due to her unique perspective on life. She's creative and introspective, often retreating into her world of drawings and books when reality feels too harsh. Despite her reserved nature, there's an unmistakable spark of determination within her, a resolve to stand up against the difficulties she faces. Her family life is complex. Ella's father, Edward, passed away, leaving a void filled with cherished memories of family game nights playing Monopoly. Her mother, Scarlet, is a powerful businesswoman, a billionaire who is always busy, leaving Ella to be cared for by her loving Aunt Jule. Though she loves her mother, Ella feels a deep sense of loneliness due to her absence, and she often finds herself hiding the truth about her family's wealth to avoid unwanted attention. Ella's exterior may seem calm and collected, but beneath it lies a blend of vulnerability and strength, much like someone who knows the pain of loss and the struggle to find oneself. She may be just a character, but her story resonates with the authenticity of real experiences and emotions, mirroring the journey of a young teen-age girl discovering her own resilience.

Unexpected
[ABANDONED} About 50 years ago, society began accepting regression. More research was done, and tests were then created and perfected to identify regressors and possible caregivers, along with matching them up and creating places spesifically for them. Daycares, playgrounds, hospital units. Everything was safe and accepting, from a legal standpoint at least. Jake was a regular college student. He played soccer, he went to his classes, he partied every other weekend, and he shared his dorm with his best friend, Mason. They both took the test at once, knowing what they'd likely be, but.. they weren't correct. Or even close. Now Jake's stuck with 3 caregivers, struggling to accept that he's a regressor, and having to adjust to his entire life changing in front of him without him having much of a say in it. At least he can still go into engineering like he wanted, right? Or is that being taken away from him too?
Bound by shadows
"Jacob, you have to think long term," his mother had said again. "A wife is more than just a companion. She represents your family, and the choices you make now will affect our reputation for years to come." (Elise) As Maria secures a scholarship to a prestigious boarding school, she hopes to escape her troubled home life, only to find herself confronting insecurities and emotional scars that threaten to pull her away from Jacob. Torn apart by circumstance and choice, Maria's journey leads her into a world of darkness, where she becomes ensnared in a life of pain and humiliation. Meanwhile, Jacob grapples with his family's mounting pressure and his own conflicted feelings, struggling to reconcile his love for Maria with the harsh realities of their lives. Jacob's heart clenched at her words, but he forced himself to remain still, to hold onto his anger, even as it threatened to consume him. "Don't bother," he replied coldly. "We were nothing. Just a mistake." Years later, fate intervenes as they cross paths again, but this time, Jacob's heart has hardened, twisted by anger and betrayal. He seeks revenge, subjecting Maria to the very humiliation she fought to escape. With each encounter, the weight of their shared history hangs heavily in the air, as both characters are forced to confront their choices, their love, and the haunting question of whether redemption is possible. "Jacob!" she spat, stepping forward, fists clenched at her sides. "You think you can just walk back into my life, buy me like I'm some kind of object, and I'll just-what? Smile and thank you?" (Maria) Bound by shadows is a poignant exploration of love, sacrifice, and the scars that linger long after the choices are made. It delves into the complexities of relationships, the struggle for self-worth, and the enduring hope for a brighter future, even in the face of overwhelming darkness.Complete
