Elysian Monroe held one conviction above all others: she simply couldn't believe in love. The agony and despair it often brought seemed entirely avoidable to her. She could never comprehend why people would gamble their well-being for something so fleeting, something labeled as "love."
Determined to unravel this mystery, she pursued a career as a relationship therapist, hoping to gain insight into the nature of love. Yet, what she found only reinforced her beliefs; she amassed a collection of facts that painted love as a hollow endeavor. To Elysian, love was ultimately pointless.
On the other hand, Akari yearned for a different kind of freedom. For a decade, her life had revolved around the man she now sought to sever ties with-the father of her child. Exhausted from the emotional toll of their relationship, she found that her sole focus should be on her daughter.
At least, that's what she had convinced herself. But Akari couldn't quite decipher Elysian, and this enigma only drew her in further. As she interacted with Elysian, her curiosity began to deepen, compelling her to explore the layers of the woman sitting across from her-Elysian Monroe.

Naomi Monet was a normal American girl living in residential New York. Her life was average; she had a boyfriend, family, dog, was attending university- when it suddenly wasn't. She was plucked from the streets and forced into a completely different life, being trafficked by a multi-million dollar company. And her captor? A morally grey man who goes by the name Brandon, tasked to keep her healthy, happy, and trapped. Will she continue to fight against his control over her? Or succumb to a mental decay which seems to slowly be convincing her that he 'cares for and protects' her? ________________________________________________ "So you're my handler, but are you also the one who kidnapped me?" He drew his gaze away from mine, back to his computer screen and nodded. "Yes." My heart sank. I was hopeful that maybe he wasn't the one who committed the act, but was only assigned to me after the fact. That way I could hold on to the hope that he's not an entire monster. Now I can see that he is, all the way down to the core. I swallowed my fear as I recalled the sensations that came over me when his hand wrapped around my mouth. A moment I'll never ever forget. "U-uhm why, why me?" I stuttered as I feared he'd snap at me for all my questions, but instead he closed his laptop and sat back in his chair. "Because you're pretty."Complete
The Price of Innocence
"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister.

Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places.

For years, I've let time slip past, ticking away like I'm still trapped in that coffin, six feet under, slowly losing pieces of myself. I gave up long before I even opened my eyes this morning.

I'm a master at making you trust in the illusion, even as I turn around and steal everything back. But somewhere along the line, I tricked myself. Now, I don't know where my lies end and the truth begins. My sanity's as fragile as the mask I wear. Then she walked in. The executive assistant I was forced to hire-a woman who sees straight through me. I lie, and she calls me on it. I grin, and she tells me to drop the act.
