***WARNING: THIS BOOK IS ALL ABOUT THE TRUTH. IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE IT, I SUGGEST YOU DON'T READ BECAUSE THIS IS FOR LEARNING/GROWING PURPOSES.***
Have any idea what I go through being with the military? I've learned so much and I think I've grown into an amazing person through plenty of trial and error. Without all the amazing things I have experienced, I definitely would not be who I am now.
If you're ever curious about me, what I go through, or have any troubles of you own, message me. Let me know whether you'd like to remain anonymous or go public, how you're feeling/what you're going through, and the state/area you are from. I'd love to share my stories and advice with you!
Credit also goes out to @timingly for making the awesome book cover!

[COMPLETED] DISCLAIMER I wrote this book when I was a kid and it was my first time writing one so please excuse the grammatical errors and if it's not well written This book is still up because it's a comfort book to some but I wanted to put a disclaimer out there about the writing since I know it's not perfect. ____________________________________________ "You're worth more than a fucking deal, Amara." ____________________________________________ It all started with a secret deal. A deal that should have meant nothing yet meant everything. Xavier Hernandez, the Italian mafia Don. The title was given to him at a young age being only 16 and now he's carrying the weight of leading a mafia at the age of 20. He's a man who is feared by many and is known for being merciless, ruthless, strong and powerful. He would shoot you between the eyes if you dared to look at him the wrong way. His cold hearted soul has never met the warm touch of another, has never experienced the warm feeling known as love. Amara SΓ‘nchez, the Spanish mafia princess. A woman who is sarcastic yet stubborn at times. She is the youngest out of her family being the age of 18 and has a lot of responsibility in her hands as her father is the Spanish mafia Don. She is known to be kind hearted, considerate and a goddess . Her warm heart has yet to touch ones cold heart that seeks the feeling of love. Both complete opposites. What happens when opposites attract? Will it end up in heartbreak or will it lead to a new found love? What happens when the past reveals itself? What happens when the truth is revealed? What will happen when promises are broken? ____________________________________________ //tw please read book with caution// β’contains sexual contentβ’ started: 14/08/21 finished: 12/12/21 #1 trauma: 29/11/21 #2 arranged marriage: 14/12/21 #3 Italian: 3/12/21 #2 badboy: 11/12/21 #3 enemiestolovers: 14/12/21 #2 alliance: 30/5/25 #4 Spanish: 23/8/25Complete
Look What You Made Me Do
"Don't tell anybody about this." "If you just ignore it, it'll stop." "There's nothing I can do to help you." And so I did everything I was told. I shut up. I put on a brave face. I followed all the rules. But that was the past and it's not who I am anymore. I will be loud. I will be angry. I will tell the truth. Look what you've done. You gave me a story to tell. ----------------- Unfortunately, a true story. DISCLAIMER: This is my side of the story and, with the exception of a few voicemails/text messages/statements from friends, it all comes straight from my memory. As is the case with most PTSD brains, my memory isn't very good so I can't 100% confirm the accuracy of anything, but it is written almost exactly as I remember it. If anyone reading this happens to know something I don't, feel free to let me know. ----------------- Thank you for reading. ----------------- Dedicated to Sketch, and Toto, and Dr. Worm, and Mia, and anyone else (real or imaginary) that I loved, but they hated.Complete
INCAPABLE - BOOK I: THE FALLEN
ONCE my mom told me that we, as humans, only fear what we do not know and that that is the sole reason for violence. We do not know what is to come of something, so in retaliation we immediately fight it off before we can ever find out; before we can ever see if there is any beauty in it. My mom is gone now. Along with any sanity we as a people have left. The year is 2193, and the world is at war. We, humans, are at war with each other only because of what we are and what we can do. We fear what we do not know, thus all we know is ignorance. The government, our democracy, our people and our world have fallen. Nothing good ever comes from being afraid of the abnormalities of others, especially when those abnormalities are amazing. The truth is, none of us are normal. Everyone's definition of normality is different, making it humanly impossible for anyone to ever accomplish the craved label of "normal". Then again, everything we have grown capable of was once described as humanly impossible. By those standards none of us are human. Not even me. A U T H O R ' S N O T E : This book is completed and there will be a second book coming out sometime next year, most likely in the summer. Please excuse any grammar issues or misspellings I have. I hope there are not many, but please consider I do all of the editing myself. Also this is a revised edition of Incapable - Book I: The Fallen. I think I have made it much better than the original story I wrote in the summer of this year and posted only a few months ago. I hope you enjoy! Happy reading. Xoxo, MiquΓ©la P.S. I'm more than open to Q & A in the comments section or on my board if you have any questions regarding the book or just in general. :)Complete
When your life turns into a train wreck.
No, this is not a teenage drama. If that's what you came looking for, you might as well turn yourself around and hit that back button in the top left corner of your browser. I'm writing this, because I literally have nothing better to do with my time, and I'd like to write some realism, thanks. I'd also like to warn, that if you catch a snarky attitude coming off of this, it's not meant for you. It was meant for the person before you. There's questions there too, and if you feel like it, please answer them. I'd like to 'meet and greet' those that read. (Also, please mind the rating.)Complete

I ran downstairs into the living room, my heart pounding as I found all my brothers gathered around Nefeli. Her eyes were frantic, scanning the room, desperately searching for me. The scream that bastard had let out earlier must have reached her... The moment our eyes met, she practically threw herself at me, wrapping her arms around me so tightly I could barely breathe. I stood frozen for a moment, unsure of what to do. I hugged her back anyway... Even though I had no idea what was going on. "Thank God you're safe" she murmured in my ear, her voice trembling, leaving me even more confused. I glanced at my brothers. They all looked just as lost as I was. Except for Aiden and Alex. They were motioning for me to hold on. "Of course I'm okay, Nefeli. What happened?" I asked, my heart tightening. I hated seeing her like this, so worried and panicked. "I-I heard Alex and Aiden talking in Italian!" she stammered, her eyes wide with panic. "They said something about the Mafia! Are we being threatened by the Mafia?" Her voice cracked, and tears threatened to spill from her brown eyes. The room fell silent for a moment. My brothers exchanged looks, and then, without warning, we all burst into laughter. Nefeli stared at us, completely confused. Cole, finally calming down, wiped his eyes and looked at her with a smile. "Love" he said, his voice smooth, "we're not being threatened by the Mafia." he let the words settle in the air for a second. "We are the Mafia." β’ β’ β’ _______________________________________________________ β οΈ DISCLAIMER β οΈ Mentions of abuse, violence, harsh language, bad mental health, and light depression!
