Painfully Healed by danichecaa

Candace Levine loves the Lord and is trying her best to adapt to her new environment. Meanwhile, Luke is stuck in a life he can't escape. Surrounded by toxic people, he feels completely and utterly alone. He has built a defence mechanism that allows him to feel like he has control over his life. But deep down he knows he doesn't and never will. This is why when Luke first encounters Candace he despises her. He sees the way she smiles at people with genuine care, or how she is humble, kind, and patient. He doesn't understand how someone could be like this, especially when all he has received his whole life is hate. So the last thing Luke expected was to develop a soft spot for the one girl he can't understand. ---- #1 - christian #1 - christianromance Trigger warnings: mentions of domestic abuse, violent scenes, and anxiety.

Sketchbook by writergirl73

"Life is like a sketchbook. There's a beginning and an end. When you start, your drawings will start simple but become more detailed over time. Some are filled with color while some are black and white. Some were easy to create while others took more hard work. Some pages were bent and scribbled while others have been torn out completely, never to be seen again. Some people appreciate your art while others tend to criticize. Your sketchbook is your life. The question is.. What art will you create?" Jayda Joseph lives in a very strict household of Christians. She only pretends to be faithful to her religion, so her parents do not find out what really goes on in her life. Jayda wants to listen to her parents, but she cares about her freedom more which leads to a frightening mistake that completely changes her life. She meets a boy by the name of Charles. He is what brings her life to hell, and a new member to the family. Jayda learns the hard reality of what the true definition is of "consequences."

HE IS HELL by RenMarieConnelly

BASED ON TRUE EVENTS. CONTAINS: DOMESTIC ABUSE, RAPE, A MIX OF EMOTIONS, SUICIDE AND RECOVERY. I had spent 4 years living my adolescent life with my abuser. What started out as my dream man, ended with me being diagnosed with PTSD, temporary amnesia and anxiety. We met in 2016, married the following year, and moved across the country - from there, my hell began. It started with small things; a change of appearance here, I was no longer allowed to be vegetarian, my friends a distant memory and my family dragged through the dirt. Then, as if my life couldn't get any worse, the physical side began. Early morning rape, weekend violence and the worst part - seeing the man I loved strangle my cat 6 ft of the ground, her claws clinging at air and I looked to him. He was smiling. She was dying. His eyes never left mine. He knew I had no control. I was weak against him. I wish I could tell you I left, but he made sure I was only his. Even now, years have passed, he still owns me. Written and created by Ren Marie Connelly. COPYRIGHT MATERIAL 2021.
