|| "My life isn't over yet." ||

Have you ever had something happen to you that you wish didn't happen but you know that it shaped you into the better person that you are today?
My name is Natalie Linn Mace and this is my story.
This is the story about how I was taken from the only life I ever knew -- the only place that I ever called home. This is the story about how I was taken and tortured and coerced into doing things that I wish I didn't have to do.
However, I am thankful for this journey, for it is also how I discovered my true past and kept living because of it.

||

Natalie Mace was practically perfect in every way. At least, that's what everyone thought. With thousands of social media followers, the loving family, and the acne-free face, how was anyone supposed to know how broken she really was?
  
Her so-called "perfect" little life unravels when she is kidnapped, leaving love, enemies, and her true past to all come back to her -- for better and for the worst.
  
Forgotten memories arise, leaving Natalie with more than a few surprises.
  
Beaten, bullied, bruised and scarred, how will she make it through this nightmare?
  
Join Natalie on her wild adventure in Taken by nataleigh-

Have you heard of Aanya the A-List actress and motivational speaker? Of course you have, but do know about her journey from rags to riches? Well its nothing short of an extreme emotional rollercoaster. Aanya always dreamed of breaking free from the confines of her small village, where a girl's fate was decided by others. An aspiring actress with a fire in her heart, she seizes her chance when offered a role in a film-at the cost of her long, cherished hair. What begins as a bold move to defy the norms spirals into a nightmare when she is kidnapped and forced into a life of misery, stripped of her dignity, her dreams, and even her hair. Sold into a cruel marriage with a shady old person, Aanya's life is shaped by abuse and loss. Yet, she refuses to be broken. She falls in love with the man's son, leading to the ultimate betrayal. With nowhere to hide, she has to fend for herself. Working as a hooker in a casino she is reunited with an old classmate. With his support, Aanya begins a journey of reclamation-from finding unlikely love to surviving the shame her past brings upon her. Together, they are thrust into a society that punishes them for daring to be different, but they refuse to give in. Fleeing to a new city, Aanya carves out a new identity-a model who captures the world's attention and a motivational speaker who inspires others to rise above their scars. In a story of unyielding spirit and unexpected courage, Aanya discovers that sometimes, it's not about what's taken from you, but what you choose to create from what's left. **This story does have themes of abuse and harrassment.**

"𝔼𝕍𝔼ℝ𝕐 𝔽𝔸𝕄𝕀𝕃𝕐 ℍ𝔸𝕊 𝕊𝔼ℂℝ𝔼𝕋𝕊" - - - "My name is Hazel, but most people call me Ze. I'm from Melbourne, and love Taylor Swift." I cringe at my own words, and think back to a time where Fletcher was one of the only people calling me Ze. "Does anyone have questions for Miss. Bolivi?" Fletcher asks, and I hate the way my father's last name sounds on his lips. Lots of students raise their hands, and I feel overwhelmed. People actually want to learn something about me? "Yes, Miss. Abbott. Ask away," Fletcher says to one of the girls who is seated at a table at the front of the class, with other kids who all look bitchy like her. "Are you related to the Bolivi brothers?" Her disgustingly sweet voice pukes out. "My last name is Bailey," I say coldly, hating how that was her only query about me. - - - Hazel Bailey. She's your typical Australian teenage girl. From going out with friends every Friday night, to crushing on university boys. But what happens when this seemingly normal girl experiences the loss of her mother? Fearing that she's going to go into foster care, Hazel begins to stress, but she quickly discovers that she's not going to go into the system. Instead, her five older brothers have gained custody of her. The same five older brothers she never knew existed. Something about them seems off, and Hazel can't help acting wary. But they're not the only ones with secrets. Join Hazel in a journey of lies, love, attachment, and humor.

I wrote this when I was 16 give me a break. TAKEN SERIES: BOOK ONE TW: kidnapping, manipulation, toxic/abusive relationship, violence, death, grief, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/attempts, sexual assault, non-consensual sexual content, alcoholism, stockholm syndrome, switching partners, etc. Do not read this story if you get triggered easily. If you decide to continue, that's your own choice. This story will portray a BDSM relationship, NOT counting the toxicity and genuine abuse that goes on throughout it. Do not comment anything unnecessarily judgmental, especially if you don't know what you're talking about. Thank you, enjoy. - - - - - "Don't ever do something like that again, or I will kill you, understood?
