We clock in at 6 'o'clock, and out at 7pm. Vacations are a myth, even on Holidays. There's no time for family at all. You bring lunch from home, if you don't have any, you don't eat. Never complain if the temperature is too cold or too hot (which it always is) she'll make it even lower or higher. Never come to her office, she needs to be the one to call you. There's always someone watching you in case you fall asleep or stop working. Protests get you no pay, and riots make her sue you. Once you get this nightmare of a job, you can't quit. The contract says so, she has to fire you for you to leave.

Sweet Realization
Oh how she wished she never saw that smile, but, you can't stop fate, can you? "It began with a smile no one could forget, and a silence no one ever heard." She never expected the new chapter of her life to begin with him. He wasn't meant to sit beside her that day in class, wasn't meant to smile like that, wasn't meant to look at her the way he did. But fate is never that kind - and never that simple. Nuria thought she was chasing independence, freedom, peace. Instead, she found a friend. Then something more. But the closer she got to him, the more the shadows began to stir. His charm is effortless. His eyes hold secrets. And some things about the past refuse to stay buried. Love can be beautiful. But it can also be dangerous. And what begins in tenderness... may end in realization far too sweet to survive.Complete
Cold Water
[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ DepressionComplete

Broken
An unexplainable pain ran through my entire system, making breathing difficult. I tried to breathe, but I couldn't. The emotions of the past few days, finally, coming out. I did not deserve to be dry whilst she was six feet under. I had killed her, with my own bare hands. I was not paying attention, and because of that I lost her. ★★★★★ Adam had lost that which meant the world to him, and he felt like life had lost its meaning. If it wasn't for his daughter, he had no idea as to how he could still be alive. At an unexpected time, someone came into his life, and made his new normal, not feel so normal anymore. Will he become the man he once was, or will he be pushed deeper into the dark, empty abyss that has become his life?
