She was never just a girl. She was a scar stitched together by silence.
Morgan has known pain for as long as she can remember. Behind closed doors, her parents made sure no part of her was ever truly safe - not her body, not her thoughts, not even her dreams. At school, the cruelty only continued, each taunt and bruise blending into a blur of days where she learned to keep her head down and her heart guarded.
Everyone looked away.
But something didn't.
Something watched.
The darkness was always there - not just the shadows in her room or the places she hid to escape - but something deeper, older, patient. It sees everything she's endured. And now, it whispers.
It doesn't want to hurt her.
It wants to protect her.
Even if that means burning everything else to ash.
A haunting psychological tale of trauma, survival, and the eerie comfort found in the coldest of places, The Darkness That Sees explores what happens when the only thing that truly understands you... is the darkness itself.

Is it because she's captured me into this small tiny room filled with many emotions that makes me want more. Her smell. Her touch. Her taste. That makes my body want her and only her. Her brown doey eyes, once again look into my eyes. Such pretty eyes filled with so many emotions. How can such a small thing feel so much. How can such a small thing give and makes me feel so much. "I'll answer the question" I say as I step closer. For once I didn't argue with myself when I felt my body feel hot when I came close to her. "Under one condition" She nodded, watching my every move as I move my hand to cup her cheeks. "Kiss me" ••• Just a warning the book contains really graphic parts.

The Divine Devil
Every crown is a curse, and every heir is a sacrifice, When peace lies in bloody nights what will happen when the her ice cold heart melts in this warm embrace? She was not the woman she appeared to be. Behind those sharp eyes and cold composure was a soul shattered by betrayal and heartbreak. Once, she had known laughter, softness, and trust-but those days were long buried beneath layers of pain and rage. The scars of her past had carved away the girl she used to be, leaving behind a woman with a heart frozen in ice. Trust was a luxury she could no longer afford, and love? Love had become a cruel illusion she no longer believed in. All that remained was a single, burning desire-revenge. It was her fuel, her purpose, and the reason she rose each day with fire in her veins and steel in her gaze. She had become a devil in the eyes of many, but they didn't know the story behind the flames. And then, he came. A man unlike any she had ever known-warm where she was cold, gentle where she was fierce. He saw the thorns and bled willingly just to hold the rose. He didn't flinch at her anger or retreat from her silence. Instead, he embraced her darkness like it was a part of him. To him, she wasn't broken-she was beautiful in ways the world failed to understand. He loved her not despite her demons, but because of them. For the first time in years, she felt the warmth of something unfamiliar-hope. He would give up everything for her: his name, his pride, even his morals. Not because he was weak, but because his love for her was that strong. He didn't want to fix her-he only wanted to hold her, to show her that she didn't have to fight alone.
HIS TO TAKE
"Please, Mitchell!" She yelled. Not loud enough. Her voice trapped inside of her. All she wanted was one thing - to be with her child. He had taken away that too. He was punishing her for no reasons. The wounds only grew deeper as she thought that it would have been better if he had killed her that day. Her thoughts were confusing to herself. The voices in her head. The motherhood she felt for the first time, sticking her child to her chest so gently until her child slept. All of that, she never wanted but grew to like it eventually. "Maybe you being away from her will teach you how to behave." His voice louder than her. He walked away locking the door. Leaving her behind with her nightmare. She never wanted this, yet she had to do it for the sake of living. Now she wishes she had never came across him that night. ___________________________________ After being with her abusive father, he sells her to a psychopath for money.

Even the Stars Forgot Her Name.
Even the Stars Forgot Her Name She wasn't trying to disappear. It just started happening-one forgotten moment at a time. At seventeen, Haley feels like the world has quietly moved on without her. She goes to school, she comes home, she scrolls through life like it's happening to someone else. Her parents are always too busy, her old friends have new lives, and no one seems to notice how quiet she's become-or how much it hurts. She used to dream big. Now she just dreams of being seen. Then one night, in a haze of insomnia and scrolling, Haley finds an anonymous online forum where people share the things they're too scared to say out loud. And something about their pain-the raw honesty, the way it mirrors her own-pulls her in. As the nights stretch on and the stars stay silent, Haley starts to connect with others who feel like ghosts in their own lives. In their stories, she finds flickers of light. Maybe she isn't invisible. Maybe she isn't broken beyond repair. Maybe being lost doesn't mean you'll never be found. This is a quiet, aching story about loneliness, unseen pain, and the fight to remember who you are-especially when the world forgets.Complete
