He never hit me.
Just threw things.
Shoved me.
Grabbed me hard enough to leave bruises.
But he didn't hit me.
So I told myself I was safe.
Layla thought she found love in Zayd-a man who made her feel seen for the first time. What began with midnight conversations and forehead kisses slowly spiraled into something darker. Something that took her voice, her confidence, her sense of reality.
He never punched her.
He never slapped her.
So how could it be abuse?
In her eyes, bruises weren't proof. Silence was survival. And love? Love was pain wrapped in apologies.
But, He Never Hit Me is a raw, intimate descent into the kind that doesn't leave bruises on your face - but breaks you from the inside out. For anyone who's ever convinced themselves it wasn't "that bad"... this is your story.

Melissa
Melissa: She has a story in her eyes. "You. Are. Mine." He said, emphasising each word so that they carve in my brain. "No. Stop it." A tear stained my cheeks. His teeth grazed my neck, leaving angry marks. A soft whimper escaped my mouth. "I won't let you leave me. Do you hear me?" He whispered menacingly in my ears. His mouth captured my ear lobe and sucked it. The sensation was both painful and pleasurable. "I don't love you." I uttered those painful words which weren't true. "You are hurting me." I tried to push him but he was too strong. He laughed. His laughter hurt my ears. "I'm gonna fućk your brains out. You'll forget those words. Don't hurt me, Melissa. Or i'll hurt you worse." He threatened me. I let the tears fall. I have to be strong but how can i be strong when i have to fight against my strength? "I don't love you. Let me go!" He left me. Forever.

It All Starts With Me
In a world where pain often hides behind forced smiles, this story unravels the intertwined lives of Zayd, Amira, and Layla-three souls carrying the weight of their pasts, yet yearning for solace and purpose. Zayd, a young man caught between familial expectations and personal dreams, returns to his hometown searching for meaning. There, he meets Layla, a resilient and independent woman whose strength masks the wounds of her own scarred history. Together, they embark on a journey that redefines love-not as a cure for brokenness but as a partnership where two people grow, heal, and flourish side by side. Pragmatic and supportive, he hides his pain beneath layers of strength, showing how trauma can manifest in unseen ways. With the steadfast support of Zayd's elder sister, a beacon of wisdom and care, the group begins to weave a tapestry of healing and understanding. The story also celebrates the strength of community-the shared laughter, quiet comfort, and unconditional support that come from the bonds of family, friends, and confidantes. It illustrates how love, both romantic and platonic, can guide people through life's darkest moments and toward a brighter, hopeful horizon. With emotional depth and heartfelt moments, this tale explores the resilience of the human spirit, the transformative power of love, and the profound beauty of leaning on one another in times of need.Complete
Under the veil of politics
In politics, image is everything. Behind every picture-perfect smile, someone always bleeds. "The world will see your ring... but only I will see the leash attached to it." Layla married for freedom. He married for power. Their union was never about love, it was performance. A show for the cameras, a fantasy for the nation. But in this world, scripts don't last. Desire festers, deception deepens, trust and loyalty are measured by how many skeletons you can bury, and secrets rise - the kind powerful enough to destroy nations. In political affairs, no one is ever what they seem. The same person who kisses you for the cameras... might be the one to pull the trigger in the dark. This is the price of power - gaining it, keeping it, surviving it. Another irony of this life? You go from wanting freedom to falling into the arms of someone who wants to own your being. "Every one of my yeses will be your yes... my no will be yours too." This isn't a marriage. It's a battle wrapped with luxury!!!
