She has no one to turn to for help as she,a child,struggles to take care of her two other siblings and mother-who fights for dear life as she battles rheumatoid arthritis.                              
With her heart filled with excruciating pain,she takes us through this long and long-lasting journey of perseverance.

Show Me What Love Really Is, écrit par Pimpinz

Lay'lani's life been hell behind closed doors-pretty smiles covering bruises, silent cries no one ever hears. Her boyfriend Man-Man? Ain't just abusive... he's obsessed. Controlling. Feared in the streets. And when she finally tries to leave, he makes one thing clear-if he can't have her, nobody can. Then Da'joun steps in. Lowkey but dangerous. The one who sees through her pain. He never asked to fall for her-but now that he has, he'll do anything to protect her... even if that means killing for her. Now with a baby on the way, enemies circling, and Man-Man hunting her like prey-every moment is borrowed time. This ain't just a love story... It's survival. How far would you go to protect the one you love... when love itself could get you killed?

No One Heard Her Cry, écrit par black_hunterr

Anaya, an eighteen-year-old girl, is the silent pillar of a broken household. The eldest daughter of a family teetering on the edge of collapse, she lives in the shadow of her father's violent rage and her mother's quiet endurance. Her father, once full of ambition, now drowns in bitterness and unemployment. His fists often speak louder than his words, leaving bruises not just on skin, but on souls. Her mother, worn and weary, works long hours to keep the family afloat. She bears her husband's fury without protest, trying to shield her daughters from a storm that never ends. But Anaya sees everything. She learns early that no one is coming to save her. So she saves herself-bit by bit. She wakes before dawn to prepare for school, studies harder than anyone else in her class, and then comes home to cook, clean, and protect Meera, her fifteen-year-old sister. She never cries in front of them. Her tears belong only to the silence of the night, muffled by her pillow. All she's ever wanted is love that doesn't hurt. A voice that doesn't yell. Hands that don't bruise. A home where she's not afraid to breathe. And then she meets Aryan - a calm, composed naval officer who sees through the mask she wears. With every gentle word, every respectful glance, Aryan offers a world Anaya never believed existed. But her heart, so used to scars, trembles at the thought of trust. What if love turns cruel again? What if Aryan, too, becomes her father? Anaya stands at a crossroads - between the trauma of the past and the terrifying hope of a better future. Will she bury her heart to protect it, or will she finally let it bloom in the light it always deserved?

Scarred For Life, écrit par _najeeb_i

*Could you ever love a broken person?* "I understand that you're broken," he said as he lifted her chin so she stared directly into his eyes. "But I want you to understand that it is my job to restore the happiness you lost. I am your husband now, Afrah. And it is my responsibility to make you happy. So that is my mission from now until the end of time." Afrah stared down at her hands, feeling as though her soul was being wrenched from her body. She couldn't look him in the eye. Not after what she had gone through. Not when she still saw the devil in his eyes. * It is said that the most painful wounds leave the deepest scars. No one could attest to that more than Afrah Aminu. For eleven years she's kept a secret to herself, knowing that she might never be able to tell anyone. Not that she wanted to. But now, with the sudden arrival of a strange man in her life, she finds herself thrown into the terrifying situation of having to relive it all. As he tears down each and every wall she has set up around her heart, the memories of that haunting night come crashing in waves. Will she be able to survive it? Or will she be crushed underneath its weight?

Call me a spoilt brat? That's what they all say. Don't worry I'm used to it now. I have felt till I feel no more.You can hurl all the hurting words but just remember one thing, Don't be too quick to judge.... You have no idea how it feels or how colossal the damage is. Our Anthem says ....."Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know " She is never around. She is always absent. She is so self-centered and only thinks about her selfish desires. It is all her fault...I wish I never knew her. Well, I'm not wasting my precious energy on trivial things. My numb heart beats no more so I care less. Since it happened, My world stopped revolving. I've been left broken beyond repair. They say there is beauty in the broken....Ah well, beauty ain't my portion. She tried, They tried, I tried..Yet to no avail.... Somethings are just meant to be. Right?? But No, don't give up on me yet. I'm going to rise up and roar like a lion. I'm going to bounce back bigger, better and stronger. It's just a matter of time. My numb heart will beat to the rhythm again. My smile will be restored. My entire life will be renewed. There is always light at the end of the tunnel. That's what I look forward to sooner or later. But till then, It's Harmattan. It's a withered sheanut tree, It's a Calabash. It's a thatched mudhouse. It's a dry Rocky land, a WILD SAVANNAH
