It's late. Very late.
Sweat oozes from her skin as she strolls through the dark alleyway.
She's weird. Unusual.
Traumatised by her husband's death, she struggles to ignore his continuous hammering memories that float through her mind.
His smile. His laugh.
The strong wind blows her hair as she suddenly wishes she tied it up this morning. She's been wishing she had done a lot of things differently, lately.
Like not stabbing her husband in the neck.
But some things you just can't resist, can you? It's not her fault she enjoys the soft feeling of a sharp knife slowly sinking into the skin of the flesh, now is it?
This book portrays the in depth storyline- the perception of the lifestyle of our protagonist, Fallon Hanson. With elements of death, super nature, as well as gothic realisation, we unveil the story arc regarding this narcissistic socialite, who urges to make amends for her depression, by destroying the lives of those who destroyed hers. With lack of inner peace, our protagonist believes she'll receive it by taking pleasure in seeking revenge for the wrongdoings of others, through violence, brutality and savagery. The central conflict revolves around the criminal and vicious acts taken within this book, and the continuous friction between Fallon Hanson, and her husband, Damari Richards who serves as our second main protagonist. Fallon believes the stakes to receive the inner tranquillity she deeply craves results in the harmful gestures taken towards others, as her morals and beliefs oppose natural ethnic codes in society, due to starvation of primary socialisation.

Formerly known as 'His Angel' Trigger warnings on chapters. ~ "Harmony" it was her name; no longer a scream but a simple word. She lifted her head, and saw him standing in front of her, hanging over and blocking the warm sun. She continued to cry, gripping the dog so tight she was probably fucking hurting her. "I can't take it anymore," she said, her lip quivering, her tongue tasting salty. Waiting for the inevitable, "I can't do it any longer." She took a deep, shaky breath. "Mony-" He leaned down gently, sitting in the grass across from her, trying to catch a glimpse of her face hidden in shame. How could he ever kill her? He couldn't even imagine cutting a hair on her head. "Harmony-" she looked at him with bright red, puffy eyes. "Will you come with me?" So much hesitation on her face, the sight of it fucking killed him. But, she reached out a shaky hand, slipping it into his. ~ Harmony finds her trusting nature doesn't always do her good, and the biggest mistake she ever made was walking home with a man who insisted they were taking a shortcut. She wakes up, cold, tired and terrified, chained to a wall in a stranger's basement. Unbeknownst to her, she's now in the hands of someone else so much worse.

And as more time goes on, Max seems to be further taken by her, doing everything to try and mend bridges to get her to stay. But, she can't become complacent; that's how people die. She's found herself deep into the underbelly of life others don't know, where laws are not the same, where people are not the same. Surrounded by a pack of gun runners, thieves and murderers, she starts to question if she could ever go back to her old life. When does the puppetry start being the truth? ~ Not everything is always green and blue.Complete

The Bright Room | 18+
If saving your life caused you more suffering than dying ever could, would you thank the man who did it, or would you kill him? Samantha is brilliant, driven, and running on empty. A visit to her old best friend was supposed to be a reset. Instead, one night tears her life apart and leaves her one breath from death. The man who saves her has his own methods, a cure much worse than the disease. Cleansed with light, stripped of everything, Sam loses herself layer by agonizing layer, and wakes up in the Bright Room as a mystery: to her captor, and to herself. The only thing she's sure she's not is a victim. But reclaiming her life means dealing with a captor whose ruthlessness is matched only by how broken he is; a debt to him she can't balance against the trauma he caused; and a thing waking inside her that may be more dangerous than the infection itself. What develops between them is Beauty and the Beast, followed to its natural conclusion: two beasts, containing each other.Complete

(not edited) This is the book I never even admired. It was more like a journal for me-just ranting and never meant to be published. I only uploaded it so that my friend could read it, and I never imagined people would actually love it.
