The Mask I Wear
She hides her pain behind a smile-but how long can she keep pretending?
Seventeen-year-old Amara has mastered the art of being "fine." To her parents, she's the perfect daughter: responsible, respectful, and destined for greatness. But behind the soft clothes and practiced smiles lies a world they can't see-a storm of anxiety, self-doubt, and quiet sadness that grows heavier each day.
In a world that demands perfection and a family that refuses to see her cracks, Amara is running out of strength to keep up the act. Torn between who she is and who she's expected to be, she begins a journey of self-discovery, learning to confront her pain, own her truth, and redefine what strength really means.
For everyone who ever felt unseen, misunderstood blindsided or the second option 😭 😭 😭; this is for you

The Perfect Illuison
Perfect Illusions In the glamorous, cutthroat world of social media, influencers Amara, Jayden, Cami, and Sierra project lives of perfection. But behind the filters, their real lives are anything but. Amara dabbles in dark rituals, Jayden hides his broken ego, Cami crafts conspiracies to stay relevant, and Sierra struggles to stay true amidst the lies. When jealousy, betrayal, and revenge collide, their carefully crafted personas begin to crack, exposing each of them to a brutal reality they can't escape. Perfect Illusions dives into the cost of fame and deception, revealing how far some are willing to go to protect the illusion-even if it destroys them. This story unfolds across six parts, each delving deeper into the dark secrets, hidden motives, and unexpected twists that shape the characters' lives.

UNTIL LOVE BROKE ME
Amara was the quiet girl the one who kept to herself, the one who was too shy to speak up. Until she met Tunde. He made her laugh, made her feel seen, made her believe she was worthy of love. And just when she was learning to breathe again, he left. Heartbroken but trying to heal, Amara found comfort in David, Tunde's closest friend. He was gentle, patient, everything she thought she needed. But when Tunde came back, Amara made a mistake that would change everything. Caught between the boy who taught her how to feel and the boy who taught her how to trust, Amara finds herself drowning in guilt, gossip, and heartbreak. And when love breaks twice... sometimes there's nothing left to give.
And In The End
She gave up her career, her dreams, and everything she was.. for a love that promised forever. But forever was a lie. When the truth shatters her perfect world, Amara is left with nothing. No husband. No job. Not even the son she gave up everything to raise. Everyone thinks she's broken. But they forgot one thing. You can't bury a woman who remembers who she is. And in the end... he may have walked away, but she's the one who survived. Trigger Warning: This story dives deep into grief, heartbreak, and the raw, unfiltered emotions that come with loss. Because healing is never a straight line.Terminé

silent fragment
Amara's world changed in one night, a night that left her body bruised and her soul scarred in ways no one could see. Outwardly, she tries to live as though nothing happened-going to school, smiling when spoken to, pretending she is fine. But inside, she is unraveling. Nightmares stalk her sleep, exhaustion grips her days, and even her body begins to reflect the weight of her unspoken trauma. Her parents notice her fading appetite and restless spirit; her teachers notice her slipping grades. Yet every time someone asks, "Are you okay?" Amara hides behind the same mask: "I'm fine." Beneath that mask, she is anything but fine. She is drowning in silence, desperate for help but terrified to speak. The story follows her quiet struggle-her battle against invisible wounds, her fear of being judged or disbelieved, and her longing for someone to see past the lies she tells. It is a story of pain carried in secret, and the fragile hope that healing might one day break through the darkness.
How We Stay
Some walls are built for survival. Others are meant to be broken. Louisa has mastered the art of staying hidden in her routines, in her solitude, behind the careful distance she places between herself and the world. Haunted by grief and weighed down by treatment-resistant depression, she's convinced herself that needing others is weakness, and vulnerability is a risk she can't afford. Then she meets Kellan. A former foster youth turned passionate elementary teacher, Kellan is all heart-steady, open, and fiercely committed to the kids he mentors. When their paths cross, it isn't fireworks, it's something quieter. Warmer. Like safety. As Louisa begins to let him in through shared art, tender silences, and late-night porch conversations, she is forced to confront her deepest fear: what if love asks her to be seen? Told in alternating perspectives, How We Stay is a slow-burning, emotionally rich story about healing, found family, and the messy, beautiful work of learning to love without armor.
