Snatched by His Love
Sa'Lani Monee Jeffries has always been the thick girl who gets overlooked or played. At 27, she's done with love, focused on stacking her money as a nail tech and minding her business. But when a fine, chocolate, six-foot-three gangsta with a low voice and dangerous reputation starts showing up at her job, all of that changes. Kaizer "Kai" Rashaad Wynn isn't the type of man she ever wanted. He's quiet, mean to everybody but her, and runs the streets with a heavy hand. Yet when he looks at her like she's the only woman in the world, Sa'Lani finds herself letting her guard down piece by piece. What starts as playful flirting turns into late-night phone calls, expensive gifts, and nights that leave her body aching for more. But falling for a man like Kai means stepping into a world of hood politics, jealous exes, and enemies who will use anything-including her-to get to him. When street drama hits too close to home, Sa'Lani is forced to decide if she can love a man who lives by a code that could get him killed... or if loving him will be the very thing that breaks her heart. Because Kai doesn't just want her body-he wants all of her. And when a real gangsta falls in love with a thick girl, he ain't letting go, no matter who has to get out of the way.Complete

Creative Writing Stories from a Fatal Dramatic Experience
It is a collection of my creative writing stories in any genre related to the person who is victimized in bullying, oppression, discrimination, looks down, and says harsh words that result in plotted revenge against the merciless and savage people. I write of this collection writing stories related to my painful experiences and agonies from when I was in Grade 10 until now. I'm not perfect in writings especially in writing correct grammar and typing incorrectly spelling of words but please give me a chance to welcome in Wattpad as a writer. I write of my compositions related to my painful experiences as a victim of bullying, oppression, discrimination, looking down and say harsh words of the merciless and savage people like my neighbor and my classmates. It is better to compose in writing related to my painful experience than to fight for my rights as a victim because they are created the fake truth about me like they say I'm bad that causes no one will stay by my side. This is also my freedom to voice out of pain using composition writing because they are not listening to my side and they are listening to the wrong people. Hopefully, you enjoy reading my composition related to the people's experiences who are always victimized in the maltreatment of everyone. Plagiarism lessens your multiple intelligence. If you are interested to read my creating stories, you have free to vote on every works that I compose.Complete
