Reviews:
"WOW!! I don’t think I have read anything more emotionally powerful (on this site) then this story. Readers can’t really relate when a story is about vampires or other mystical creatures, but you can when a story has a real basis behind it. Even a powerful one, such as this story does. When the main character was scared, I found my nerves strung tight. When she was sad, I wanted to cry. That is the mark of one genuinely good author. This story was written so well, I felt like I was reading one of the many novels I own that have already been edited and published. I hardly ever make comments on the actual story pages, but I found myself wanting to be one of the many people saying… “Upload, Upload, Upload” Well Done! *****" - GIGS782, five stars

Vulnerable [Frollie]
Frankie Sandford grew up as an only child and her father died when she was very young. Her mother went soon afterwards. From a very young age, Frankie's stepfather would sexually abuse her, almost every day, and he would tie her up for days at a time and just leave her there, with no food or water. He would beat her, rape her, and starve her until Frankie turned 18. It was just after her birthday that the police came and arrested her stepdad. Frankie is now 19 and attending university, where she meets Mollie King, 20. Mollie's childhood was the polar opposite of Frankie's; Mollie's family is wealthy and her parents love her to bits. She's close with her mother and idolizes her dad. The two are very different. But somehow, they become friends, and that builds into something more. Frankie slowly but surely lets Mollie into her world, full of flashbacks and night terrors and crying, and fear and suffering unimaginable. But Mollie loves her anyway, despite all of her problems. This is their story. [Trigger warning for sexual assault, severe anxiety and panic attacks, graphic flashbacks, etc.]Complete

My Mistake
She thought he was perfect, but perfect doesn't exist. Alex had never been in love. Never been kissed. Never even held a boy's hand. So when Ben (the charming, confident, older man) swept into her life, it felt like fate. He said all the right things. Made her feel special. Claimed he was keeping her safe. At first, she believed him. When he checked her phone, it was because he cared. When he told her what to wear, it was because he loved her. When he got really angry, it was her fault, wasn't it? She should've known better. Shouldn't have talked to that guy. Should've texted back faster. Should've listened to him. Then the first slap came. Then the apologies, and promises it wouldn't happen again. But it did. It kept happening. Ben doesn't love Alex. He owns her. And she's learning, slowly and painfully, that love doesn't leave bruises. Love doesn't monitor your every move. Love doesn't isolate you from your friends and family, punish you for breathing the wrong way, or force you to beg for kindness that never lasts. But by the time she sees it for what it is, she's already trapped. And Ben doesn't plan to let her go. Not without a fight. ⚠️TW⚠️Domestic Violence ⚠️TW⚠️ Sexual Assault ⚠️TW⚠️ Emotional and Mental Abuse This is copyright so if you see anyone taking my book please help a girl out and let me know.

Rules are broken, boundaries crossed, and Trixie is forced to confront cruelty she's never imagined. What seemed like protection begins to feel like control. Is this love, or is it glorified slavery?

In a world where power and desire collide, Trixie must decide: obey the rules, or fight to reclaim herself. ⚠️⚠️ Trigger warning ⚠️ ⚠️ This story contains intense and mature themes, including physical and emotional abuse, sexual content, trauma, non-consensual situations, violence, and death.

Senseless Reality
I wrote this in highschool because I was desperately not trying to hide the fact that living with my parents was emotionally and physically traumatizing. My english teacher didn't give af, but at least he said it was well written :) This story is written from two separate perspectives, that of a young teenager, and that of an adult, changes will be shown by a few dashes before a new paragraph is started. This story will be centering around the subject of child abuse. ***If any of you have or are currently experiencing child abuse, please talk to a trusted adult, don't go to your friends about these issues as they probably won't know how to handle this information. Child abuse is one of the most evil things a parent can do to their child, and I encourage you to seek advice and solace in a trusted adult.*** The themes in this novel include child abuse, betrayal, abuse of power, displacement, vulnerability of the weak, power of corruption, loss of hope, power of silence, desire to escape, coming of age, and facing reality. Your main characters are an adult female named Saden Monroe, and a young teenage boy named Archer Carlisle. I will be posting this story in multiple different languages.Complete
