Beauty was his medicine and his camera was an asset..
He had one passion in life which nobody appreciated. Everyone saw him as a stalker, one who takes pictures of innocent victims, yet no one understood the temptation in his veins or the beauty behind the picture. His paintbrush created a masterpiece of nature and his camera held the beauty humans doubt. It was all a secret, until she caught him redhanded with her picture in his hand. He wasn't the one hiding behind the camera anymore.

Blue // Daniel Seavey
A reflection. Do you like yours, love yours or hate yours? There's many people in this world who dislike theirs, not because of the physicality that they see in a mirror, but because they know what's lurking behind the eyes that stare. So much can be seen in yourself from your own pair of eyes, things that others don't seem to see. Do you know why that is? That's because no one knows you better than you know yourself. A pair of eyes could seem so kind, warm and innocent to the world, but only yourself could know the true darkness behind them. There's one person in this world who knows exactly what I'm talking about. He knows the infuriating, angering feeling of the painful suffering he experiences when his own eyes meet his reflection's. Deadly, severe, menacing: is what he sees. Everyone who looks into them simply see a bright pair of ocean eyes. Blue. That's all they see. But only himself knows he's drowning in the tidal waves of their deep ocean. And no one cares enough to notice, to help, or to save. Until her. She used to think fire was more murderous than ice. Little did she know, that would all change at first glance. She saw the eyes, she noticed their blue, she stared for a second too long, and now she knows that there's no going back. He'll claim her. ~If I take a step away from him, he takes a step closer to me. If I run, he'll find his way back.~ ~I'm trying my goddamned hardest to not act on the ache I'm feeling to place my lips on hers, just to have a little taste, because I don't want to appear as some sex-driven teenage boy who just wants to claim her body. Because I don't. I want to claim her heart.~ *Mature content: Strong language, aggressive behaviour, sexual content etc.* Note: Don't skip past the prologue. A bit of the dialogue or description in the first half of the book may seem slightly immature; I'll have to edit that when I get the chance. Started: 31/08/18 Completed: 02/04/19Complete
Jade and her Prince Charming
In the humid, high-stakes landscape of Nigeria, two lives on opposite ends of the social spectrum are about to collide in a messy web of ambition and desire. Jade is a girl drowning in the "Monday morning" grind. Working a dead-end job at TRUNTS Supermarket under a tyrannical manager, her life is a cycle of installment payments, expensive bills, and the faded dream of returning to beauty school to open her own studio. She is tired of being an employee, tired of being told she's a failure, and tired of a life that feels like it's passing her by. Clinton is Nigeria's "Billion-Dollar Baby." Born to a famous filmmaker father and a world-renowned author mother, his life is a constant tabloid headline. While the world sees a reckless "fuckboy" breaking hearts and trending for all the wrong reasons, Clinton is suffocating. His controlling mother demands he take over the family film empire, but his true passion lies in the cutthroat world of real estate. To escape his mother's shadow, Clinton embarks on a path of deception to build his own career as a realtor. When he crosses paths with Jade, the attraction is instant and electric. Jade falls for him the moment she sets eyes on him, seeing a chance for the "one-million-dollar deal" that could change her life forever. But in a world where secrets are currency and reputations are everything, Jade doesn't realize that falling for a man like Clinton comes with a dangerous price. As their two worlds merge, they must navigate a treacherous love triangle and a web of lies that threatens to destroy them both.Complete

Beautifully Broken
"I'm tired." I whisper, my voice breaking. "I can't do this anymore. It's too much." He pulls me closer and holds me as he always does. "You're a strong girl. People look up to you, Mina. You'll get through this, okay? You're not alone. You're a beautiful girl and you have us." I shake my head. "If ever I am, I'm just another pretty girl that's broken inside." He holds me tighter and I feel his chin resting on my head as I break down in his arms. "Well, I guess you're beautifully broken then." I sob, my body heaving at the pain, wondering how he always sees beauty in an ugly broken girl. *** Just a little warning. Though there are no graphic or detailed pictures in the story, this is a story based on a school project I had on human trafficking and abuse. Thank you for reading. (not edited.
