Ophilia's Diary - (On-going)

This is a story set in the 1950s.

A time when women need permission for almost everything- where they work, what they say, even how loudly they are allowed to exist in a room.

The story follows a woman named Ophelia.
A wife. A secretary. A woman learning how to survive inside rules she did not write.

Her life is ordinary in all the expected ways.

Until she is fired for speaking when she should not have, and sent into the orbit of a woman who should not be as powerful as she is.

A female CEO, in a world built to make women small.

Ophelia is not supposed to look at her too long.

But she does.

And in a world where men decide what is proper, what is allowed, and what is dangerous, two women are not meant to choose each other.

But they do.

Now love is not gentle. It is not safe. It is something that has to survive scrutiny, control, and consequences.

And Ophelia is no longer sure whether what she is risking. Is it her reputation... or her entire life.
