In the heart of a foreign land, two Nigerian-Syrian sisters are sold by their own parents into a life of unimaginable suffering. Hira, 22, and Sara, once hopeful and full of dreams, are trapped in the depths of a notorious brothel in the UAE. Together, they endure years of exploitation, their spirits slowly breaking. But when tragedy strikes and Sara dies after a brutal attack, Hira's desire to escape grows stronger than ever.
Desperate for freedom, Hira steals her way out, only to find herself lost, vulnerable, and alone in a world far more dangerous than she could have imagined. She crosses paths with Khalid, a wealthy and powerful man, whose life is about to change forever as he becomes her protector and ally. Amidst the terror of her past, Hira must come to terms with the deep guilt she feels for the death of her sister, while Khalid struggles to fight against the powerful forces that want to keep her silenced.
Beneath the Silent Tears is a haunting and powerful tale of resilience, vengeance, and the quest for freedom. As Hira's journey unfolds, she is forced to confront her darkest fears and face the stark reality of a world that refuses to let her go. This gripping story takes you through heartache, sorrow, and the unbreakable strength of the human spirit.

This is a true story. It was my story. I wrote this in 2013 about my freshman and sophomore year love life. I mainly wrote it for him. I wrote it figuring if I showed him, I would get him back. There isn't one lie in this whole story. I wrote it on my old iPhone and had just recently found it. It is in no way, shape, or form organized well. I wrote it all jumbled up together, but I just read through it and fixed up a few grammar marks and punctuation here and there. I wrote it over a time of depression, and I put 100% feeling into it. I hope you can still enjoy and understand my story. I hope to get some feedback on people that can relate to it.
A little update on life right now in 2015: He and I are back together. It may seem like a stupid idea, but as you will read, you will understand that in the past, we didn't really know each other. So my advice to you is to get to know the person first. If you guys broke up over something ridiculous and stupid without even fully understanding each other, be friends first and then try again.
