The streets of Serta don't play fair. They don't hand out second chances or easy breaks. You either hustle hard, or you don't eat. I learned that early.
My name is DOLLA. Born into a world where dreams feel like luxuries and survival is the daily grind. But I wasn't built to settle. Every flip I made, every move I pulled, was a step closer to something bigger-something real.
This ain't just a story about the streets. It's about the hustle behind the hustle, the lessons learned in shadows and spotlight alike. It's about rising up when the odds say you'll fall, about loyalty and betrayal, love and loss.
I'm not just chasing the American dream-I'm rewriting the rules. From the corners of Serta to the boardrooms that don't want to see me, this is my journey to level up. Ten flips. Ten chances to change everything.
And trust me-nothing comes easy.

"You no tell this girl that I said, I want no relations with a darkie?" She spat to me, making my eyes go wide. What? I thought to myself and Gio tried pulling me away but I snatched away from him, knowing I heard right this time. "Wait, what?" I spoke out loud and Gi grabbed me roughly, trying to pull me away again. "Why you saying these things? She's beautiful." I heard his abuelita sticking up for me as she stood to her feet and all the guys began to as well, telling their mom that she was wrong for what she was doing. "That puta heard me." She spat, pointing her finger at me. "You're too dark." She held up a brown paper bag that she was drinking her beer out of. "You no match this bag or lighter, you're too dark." "You look too much like his father. I no want you around me." She shooed me off, instantly breaking my heart into a billion pieces as I looked up at Giovanni who was looking down at me with hurt in his eyes. "Baby, please." He begged and I shook my head at him in disgust before putting my attention back onto her. "Get that darkness out of here, Giovanni. She's a demon." "Only demons have her color." She kept on going and I felt sick to my stomach in this moment as I stood there in complete shock.Complete

Fragments of a Dissociative Universe
This isn't a story about rebellion. It's a story about survival. Born into a fractured world, my life was a blueprint for chaos. By fifteen, I was a veteran of two wars: one against a school system that punished my intelligence, and another against the ghosts of my own past. They called me a lost cause, but I was just a kid the world had given up on. I found a twisted refuge in the gritty, unpredictable pulse of 1990s Montreal. The punk scene, the drugs, the streets-it was all a way to trade a reality I couldn't bear for a chaos I could control. Survival became a reflex, a daily dance with destruction just to feel alive. Now, after years of walking through the same fire, the question remains: how far do you have to go before survival stops being enough? This is my map of a broken world. The testament of a boy who got lost, and the man still learning to live without a war. This is not about seeking hope. It's about becoming the storm.
Seductive Revenge
Nia Black was an innocent girl who believed in the concept of love and even lived it, or so she thought. She believed that love was a wonderful thing when she met Zaine Velazquez, a 22 year old rich billionaire who showed her the love she never thought she could experience, much less from someone that was way out of her league. But that all came crashing down when her boyfriend and best friend betrayed her in the worst way possible. A few years later, Nia isn't the person she used to be. She has learnt to be strong, both physically and emotionally. She has learnt that people should never be trusted, that they'll only fuck you over with time. She has undergone trials worse than death and came out stronger than ever. And...She has set out on a mission, to destroy the two people who ruined her life. By taking away the reason her best friend betrayed her, Zaine, while also planning to shatter his heart in the process, like he shattered hers. She wasn't going to show any mercy, that word was ruled out of her books long ago. Destruction was engraved in their fates and she would stop at nothing to achieve her revenge. And there was no stopping her. *** I subtly trailed my foot up his leg and felt him stiffen. I smirked internally when I saw his reddened face from across the table. I was enjoying this tremendously, more so when I saw the look on Dana's face as she tried her hardest to grab his attention, which was solely focused on me. I kept trailing my foot higher and higher, enjoying the look of anticipation on his face despite his desperation to keep himself composed. As my foot made contact with his dick, I realized he was already hard. Before he could comprehend what was happening, I removed my foot and continued eating as if nothing ever happened. I cast my eyes across the table just in time to catch the flicker of disappointment on his face before it disappeared. I smirked internally. Game on, asshole. *** Disclaimer: Mature themes.

"You can't see the future. I might have a chance. You don't know for sure." He mumbled, making her expression soften. "M-my mom used to tell me t-that birds still sing even after a storm. Why shouldn't people feel as free t-to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?" Samir stopped talking for a moment to regather himself so that he didn't stutter, but Nina froze completely. "You don't have to settle with him Nina. It's been five years an-and you're not a-as happy as you should be. You smile differently with me.. and you cry a lot with him. I just think that you deserve to enjoy your time with someone other than h-him for a minute because there's still sunlight out there for you too, even if you can't see it yet."
