Better Times
Before it all started. Before life became a living hell. Before everything shattered. This was better, it was peace. You could call it heaven. I call it a delusional dream, or perhaps they would prefer me to call it ignorance. No matter what it is called, it's all I have left of a peaceful existence. If you see it as hell already, well then, maybe you shouldn't be here. For, what will come to pass is nothing like this cushiony life, no matter who I hurt while living it. This is the prequal to the real story that will come. Warning: some characters struggle with mild mental illness symptoms. There is a bit of violence and some mild swearing. -NyxeComplete
Arranged Disaster
Autumn Grey once had everything: loving parents, a devoted older sister, and friends who made the world feel safe. Then she witnesses her mother's brutal murder, and her life begins to unravel. Her sister sinks into depression, her father turns distant and unfamiliar, and something cold takes root inside Autumn. Desperate to save her from the darkness, her father makes one dangerous final choice: he arranges her marriage. Jamil Hakim learned young that mercy was a luxury his family could not afford. Poverty shadowed them, and after they were banished from their country, America offered survival-but little peace. Judged for their nationality and hardened by every insult, Jamil vowed never to be powerless again. To protect his father and climb to the top, he builds an organization where fear is a weapon and power is an addiction. Now, there is nothing he will not do to possess both. But in a marriage shaped by secrets, control, and desperation, salvation may be the deadliest lie. Will this arrangement pull Autumn back into the light-or bury her deeper in darkness? And when Jamil tries to control her, will he discover too late that Autumn is the one holding the leash?
