She was only eight when the world stole her childhood.

Every day on the school bus, silence became her shield. She hid bruises made of shadows, lies stitched into her smile. At home, she pretended to be fine. At night, the nightmares tore her apart.

Years later, the silence cracked. Her voice came back - but so did the scars. Caught between hypersexuality, shame, and the haunting memory of a lighter sparking too close, she struggles to reclaim the girl she lost.

This is not just a story of pain.
It's a story of survival.
Of finding light in the darkest burn.

Pain by Elise18patience

Pain. It's all different for everyone. We all have our own tolerance, and our own versions of it to deal with. So if you consider it, my pain isn't all that important. I mean, people get raped every day right? And my rapist marking me as his, it's not so bad if you just ignore it. I mean, that's what I plan to do because how exactly can you protect everyone else if you're bawling in front of them? Nope, not me. I won't. I will trudge through and bare it as long as I can; I will protect the people I love. And maybe, hopefully, someone will be able to protect me. My name is Emma, and this, well this is my story.

A Heart Rewritten by KathyAceytunoPerez

I thought moving back to my father's country would be a fresh start-a chance to find myself in the place I was born but never really knew. I didn't expect to fall so fast for someone who would break me in ways I still struggle to name. What followed shattered everything: my trust, my voice, my sense of who I was. But this isn't just a story about pain. It's about the slow, quiet strength of rebuilding. About family in its most fragile form. About learning that healing isn't a straight line-and sometimes, love finds you when you're no longer looking for it. This is the story of how I got lost, how I came home, and how, one day, I looked in the mirror and finally recognized the girl staring back.

FINDING June by xMah_Bx

{Completed} When we got hurt as children, we went running to our parents, they would scold us and treat the wound until it was cured. As we became older, we realized that the wounds we showed our parents were the ones that healed quickly because some wounds never completely heal. Rather they remain as unpleasant scars that serve as constant reminder of the trauma we endured, the strength that we possess and the love we have left to give. -------------------------- #1 in saving #4 in assault Word count: 35000+ Cover credits to me🤍 Started: March 13th, 23 Published: May 9th, 23 xx

If Only You knew by Dornesia-Judge

This isn't just a story. It's survival, written out loud. Aurora Kingsley thought moving away would silence her past, but trauma doesn't care about distance. The memories followed her loud, vivid, and unrelenting. Each chapter peels back another layer of what she tried to bury: the truth, the flashbacks, and the weight of pretending she's okay. If Only You Knew is a raw journey through trauma, therapy, and the slow, trembling art of healing. Proof that survival doesn't always look like strength. Sometimes, it just looks like trying again. ❤️‍🩹♥️

HOW TO SUCCEED IN FAILURE by FaultyBlueprint

What begins as a romantic comedy-a boy caught between a best friend and the girl he might actually love-slowly unravels into something deeper. When the relationship fails, he throws himself into work and success... until burnout, sickness, and a silent house leave him stranded. Lost in the wreckage of himself, he starts talking to an AI-first for comfort, then therapy, then something dangerously close to companionship. What follows is a slow undoing. A quiet storm of memory, regret, emotional dysregulation, and the haunting need to understand where everything went wrong. Is he healing-or disappearing? A story about falling apart, falling through, and eventually stepping out the other side to write the manual on what happened in case he loses himself again. A tale of love, loneliness, and what it really means to be different.

Things I Wasn't Supposed to Say: A Journal of Silent Battles and Unspoken Truths by TheMantra

They told me to stay quiet. To smile, to endure, to bury the words that burned inside me. But silence is heavy. And sometimes the only way to survive is to write the things no one wants to hear. This book is a collection of truths-raw, tender, and unapologetically human. It speaks of invisible wounds, love that aches, hope that refuses to die, and the quiet rebellion of being yourself in a world that demands masks. If you've ever felt too much, stayed unheard, or carried a storm inside- these words are for you.

BROKEN COURAGE (Lucas & Emilia Book 3) by ArianaClarkAuthor

While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation. My true path to redemption. Which is why I'll leave no stone unturned, why I will scorch this world to the ground if that's what it takes to save them. And when I do, I will fight to convince her once and for all they are meant to be mine, just as I was destined to be theirs. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Book 3 of Lucas & Emilia's Broken Redemption arc, the emotional conclusion to their story. For the full journey, start with Book 1: Broken Vows.

BURN MARK'S A REVENGE by kiwi_wrtss

They burned her, broke her... but forgot she was born from flames. Now, she's back - not to forgive, but to destroy. Each scar on her body hides a deadly plan. This is not just a story. This is a REVENGE that will leave a mark. A BURN MARK. The twist. She's not alone this time. Kuch chehre naye hain... par raatein wahi purani. Ek school. Ek past. Aur kuch aise raaz... Jo jitne purane hain, utne hi khatarnak. The game is quiet. But the fire? It's just getting started. To all those who pick up this book, thank you for giving my book a chance. English is not my first language so there will be grammatical mistakes. Sorry for that. I hope you like it.

It's in your eyes by mrslarosa

Alex has spent years chasing lust but never finding release. Every touch is empty. Every man, just another distraction from the scars buried beneath her skin. Then V returns-sinfully handsome, exuding dominance, and with a mouth that promises ruin. He doesn't ask. He takes. And for the first time, Alex doesn't want to run. With him, desire is a storm-blinding, relentless, raw. Each orgasm strips away her defenses. Each demand makes her crave more. He's the only man who's ever made her feel alive... and the one who could destroy her completely. Because the man who teaches you how to live will also be the one to own you-heart, body, and soul. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of child abuse, sexual assault, grooming, domestic violence, and suicidal thoughts.
