People always say your twenties are for self-discovery. Apparently, mine just involved discovering I'd been stolen.
Not metaphorically. Not in the "I lost myself after Chad cheated on me with a yoga instructor named Misty" kind of way. I mean literally. Baby-napped. Illegally acquired. Ripped from one family and gift-wrapped into another, without so much as a receipt.
Of course, I didn't know that then.
Back then, I was still the same girl who thought her biggest problem was forgetting her reusable grocery bags. Who believed her mother's anxiety and her father's long silences were just quirks, not the weight of a lie pressing on their chests for twenty-four years.
And yes, there's a guy. There's always a guy. But everything I thought I knew about love, family, and who I am got shattered into a thousand tiny pieces-each one sharp enough to draw blood.

The Best Kept Secret!
They say what's in the past keep it in the past but I wanted to know all about my past. It was things that I didn't know and that I wanted and needed to know! But my life turned upside down when my past is exactly what I should have left alone. Now if you ask me how it all began, I don't exactly remember but I know it started when I moved in with my grandma who I haven't met in all my twenty years of living. I have been in and out of foster homes since I can remember, living with families I knew nothing about. Being the outcast and them constantly asking me what's wrong because I simply did not speak. The only thing that kept me sane was my good grades throughout school. I got the satisfaction of doing the one thing that people kept telling me over and over I couldn't do. I stayed to myself and graduated high school with honors, getting a full-ride scholarship to any college of my choice. Of course, by having this accomplishment, it didn't make it any easier for me between my foster families. To them, I became the girl who was better than them. But I didn't care because when I turned twenty I finally got to start making my own choices. This is where I wonder if the first choice I made was the right one. The first choice I made was to go live off-campus with my grandmother during my first semester in college. I ask myself how could I be so stupid? But you will see just how stupid I was. Or was I?Complete

╰┈➤ ❝ [I stood there in unequivocal revelation, the lagging pain slowly catching up with me, but before I could release a fraction of the pain into my screaming, a bell rang, and suddenly, pilfered from my body was the ability to move. My face neutral and my muscles disabled as I fell face-first into the hard, scathing rock that lay unmoved before me.] 》* 。 • ˚ ˚ ˛ * 。° 。 • ˚《 Imagine awakening in an environment you deemed unfamiliar, your back thrumming in pain, with your mind staying clear of how you ended up there or simply the moments that lead to your position. You try to find a way out and later realize that you can't even remember who you are; your memories purged, your identity unknown. It takes you a good amount of time, pain, and effort, and eventually you manage to gather tiny fragments of who you were along with the trauma of how you retrieved it, but it's okay, maybe it's all worth it as you finally make contact with another person. Turns out she was your best friend. Finally, it looks like all is turning up until you learn of all the inhumane things you've done in your past, things that evade your newfound morals, things that were so detrimental to society that when you hear the reason as to why you've been enduring such agony, you understand why. How many people did you even end up hurting? What did you do that was so bad, that it made millions wish the absolute worst of you? What will you do now?Complete
As Long as I Have You
Izuku We had our entire life planned. We were going to continue to climb the ladder, get married, and have a family. But the longer we were together, the more followers we had, it all started to fade in the background. It was photoshoots, restaurant openings, trend after trend, and eventually, I had less time to see my family, less time for the things I had wanted to do. When I got a strange DM from a guy, warning me about the man I sleep beside every night, I ignored it and trusted him. But when I got ahold of his phone for the first time in years, it was hard to ignore what I already knew. Katsuki I love my life. I have great friends, a good family, a job that even on the bad days, I still look forward to. The run-down one bedroom house that three of us share isn't exactly my favorite thing, but it's home and sharing it with Denki and Eijiro makes it feel more live able than it really is. Money's tight and we don't have a lot, but we have love, loyalty, and friendship-something that's increasingly harder to come by in LA. The DM I got from an apparent rising influencer is proof of that. On top of the various platforms he uses, his entire Instagram page is dedicated to him and his boyfriend. When he DM's me, I shoot him down and even threaten to steal his man because if he won't treat him right, someone else should. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNINGS⚠️ Alcohol/Drug use Cursing Cheating Abuse SmutComplete
"Was it worth the cost?"
"We are all meant to die just once, but apparently, that is nothing short of a lie. A fake reality that we are taught in adolescence. When I learned that truth, I lost everything. ፈᏗᏁᏗᏒᎩ When you calmed my mind, you changed me and took the last thing from me that I had. Now I am alone in this world a victim of its unending cruelty. All of you will learn that. When you do you will wish that you treated me better while you had the chance, " This is not a romance novel. Do not think this is a romance novel. The sequel is thought.

The First
I was the first. I arrived in the Glade, and there was nothing and... no one. I remembered nothing about who I was, who my parents were, what happened. A few days I remembered my name, and that's it. That's all that ever came back. There were four walls surrounding me with only one exit. I wanted to go through, so I did, in hopes of finding my way out. What I found lurking on the other side was not an exit but something much worse. I found my way back, and I spent the next month fending for myself. Food, water, a temporary shelter. After a month, someone else arrived, and this person arrived with supplies. Every month a new person was sent up. Every arrival was the same as mine. They couldn't remember anything. I was the first one here, and that means that I call the shots, I make the rules, and I run the place.Complete
DECEPTION
PROLOGUE You always believe that doing it right guarantees a great outcome, but what if it doesn't? What if doing everything the way you were taught to ends with you questioning the very meaning of right and wrong? They said good girls always win, that patience pays off, that saving the best for the one who deserves it is the most honorable thing a woman can do. I believed them, I clung to those words as if they were sacred, because society made it sound like the crown jewel of a woman's worth. But what happens when you realize that the ones who broke the rules seem to have better outcomes? When you watch them live freely, laugh loudly, and still be chosen, while you, the one who chose to be good and follow the rules, are left to face the opposite? Does that mean life is unfair, or does it mean the rules were never written for you in the first place? I waited. I followed every rule. I held on when others let go. And when the night finally came, my night, I gave it all, expecting the forever I was promised, only to be met with the greatest deception of my life. The kind of heartbreak that does not just wound the heart, but questions your identity, your choices, and even your faith in love. How would you feel if the man you loved and believed in turned out to be someone entirely different? When the one you trusted the most isn't who you thought he was? When the one who clapped for your values was only clapping for himself, cheering because he had already won the game before you even realized you were playing? Not all stories begin with love, some begin with a lie, some begin with betrayal, and some begin with a silence that grows too loud to ignore. This is not the story you think it is. Follow me, and you will find out the truth about a girl who waited, who gave everything, and who discovered that being a virgin was not the beginning of her story, but only the secret she never thought she would have to defend.
