A sequel to an older work of mine, this time critiquing the misogynistic society (and now, honestly) in which Widow Brasher was raised, and how her niece Rebecca's subscription to such beliefs culminate in fear, hatred, and a family curse.
NOTE: This is a LONG short story, not a novel.
Image not mine, as always
I think religion can be positive, as I am Christian myself, but it can also be used in a negative way to oppress various people. I think it is right to call the fake Christians out.

Pyrophobia
A rather tragic, depressing existence is what Cate has. Church was everything. Religion was everything. At least, that was what she once believed. The struggle for mental and physical freedom is daunting, as is the acknowledgment of the need for them. Cate's trauma is brought to light through a story that spans a total of 7 hours of one day in her life through present occurrences, internal monologue, and flashbacks. (Currently undergoing first editing).Concluida
THE BOOK OF FORGOTTEN DELIBERATELY
"Some truths don't set you free. They set you on fire." They told me not to open that book. They warned me with stories-old, crusty ones-about madness, about secrets best left untouched. They said the library's far wing was cursed. That the books in that section didn't whisper wisdom-they screamed. But curiosity has a strange way of settling into your bones, especially when you've lived your entire life inside walls built from someone else's truths. My name? It doesn't matter-not yet. This story isn't about names. It's about what was forgotten deliberately. And how I found it. I wasn't born a rebel. I didn't want to challenge kingdoms or rewrite history. I just wanted to understand who I was, why I felt out of place, and what those strange dreams meant. The ones with burning skies and voices calling me by a name no one else knew. This isn't a tale of heroes and villains. It's messier than that. It's about a girl who found a truth so big, it didn't fit into her world. And maybe-just maybe-it won't fit into yours either. But I'll tell it anyway. Because stories like this-whispers like these-were never meant to stay silent. Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.

Tied Unwillingly
> She never dreamed of a forced marriage. But fate had other plans. He didn't want a wife. She just wanted love. Now they're tied together... Unwillingly. A marriage neither of them wanted. Two hearts tied by fate. Will love grow between them... or will they walk away forever?
Galekin
They fear us because we are different. They fear us because we have special powers, because the goddess gave us gifts. The goddess gave us these powers to protect the non-gifted. They don't care about that. They fear us because they think we will hurt them. They believe we are power hungry, the irony. They have hunted us for centuries now. Killing us because they are afraid. We just want to live out lives in peace. Why must there be a fear for people who are different? Why must there be such hate for people who just want to live their lives? My name is Lydia Martin. I fight for my freedom. This is my story. The story of how I fell in love with my target. The story of how I fell in love with the one man I wasn't supposed to fall in love with.Concluida
These Vengeful vows
They were promised to each other before they could even speak. Heir to an empire. Daughter of a legacy. Bound by a deal neither of them asked for. She's learned to live with the panic that shadows her nights, the anxiety that claws at her chest when the world becomes too much. He's learned to bury the ghosts of his past under power, wealth, and a name that opens every door. But the marriage contract changes everything. One bed. One future. No escape. And just when they begin to see beyond the walls they've built around themselves, a message arrives: I know who killed your mother. The sender? A man the groom once called brother. Someone who lost eight years of his life while he walked free. Someone who wants revenge, not just on him, but on the family that destroyed everything. Lies will surface. Loyalties will shatter. And in the middle of it all, two broken souls will have to decide if they can trust each other... or if love is just another trap waiting to break them.
THE UNVEILED & THE UNHOLY
They called it blasphemy. A sin against God. A disgrace against blood. The news headlines twisted her name like a curse. Muslim Girl Marries Two Brothers in Secret Ceremony. Father Disowns Daughter Over Immoral Union. Religious Extremists and Feminists Clash in Street Protests. But none of them knew the truth. Not the journalists who stalked her outside the courthouse. Not the clerics who spat fire from the pulpit. Not the activists who used her face for posters, never asking if she even agreed with them. They didn't know about the long nights with one brother's rage burning her skin-and the other's cold touch wrapping around her heart like barbed wire. They didn't know how it started-not with love, but with survival. They didn't know that once, she believed in God more than anything. And now? Now, she stood in front of a grave with no name. Black veil pulled tight. A Qur'an in her hand. Two wedding rings on her finger. Behind her, they stood-her husbands. One with blood on his hands. The other with secrets behind his eyes. She would never be the same girl again. But she was still alive. Still burning. And if the world wanted a monster? She would give them one. ---Concluida
