"When a man is penalized for honesty, he learns to lie."
-Criss Jami
Valence has felt as if he isn't enough for as long as he can remember. After all, how can you expect other people to know you, truly know you, if you only ever tell yourself the truths you want to hear? Sometimes confrontation is less about violence and more about honesty.
Porter hasn't ever known anything but half-truths and turned backs. It's always been her and Grant against the world but now that her brother has finally retreated from everything, including her, she has to find a new way to keep on living. Or a new person to keep on living for.

Enver Williams is leading on a normal life but that is all ripped away from her when she is taken from her home town. When Enver comes to realize that there are others like her in more ways than one, she is determined to free herself and her newfound friends from the physiological torment of her closely supervised enclosure. ••• "Do I make you nervous, Enver?" Another idiotic question. "Wouldn't the man who kidnapped you and threatened to kill you make you nervous?" I snap at him. He only smiles an odd, crooked grin. I can make that disappear. "Wouldn't a murder make you nervous?" Now it's my turn to pull the strings. He looks at me with hurt in his eyes. "How many times do I have to say it?" He pauses, I guess hoping for some sort of mercy in my eyes, "I didn't kill her." "Liar!" I shout. "Why won't you believe me?!" "Would you believe yourself?" "It wasn't me who shot her," he sits on a stool, resting his elbows on his knees. "Then how do you know she was shot?" "I saw it. I saw him kill her," his voice was riddled with such pure vulnerability and pain it begged me to believe him. "Who?" I try to sound sympathetic, but it comes out as scared. Maybe, subconsciously, I am scared.Complete![Lesser: Book One of The Order Trilogy [Nanowrimo13] [Wattpad Prize 14]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/10233493-256-k762484.jpg)

It's a sad truth I didn't marry my husband for love. I married him for the life he promised to provide, and if I'm honest with myself, I married him in hopes one day he'd fill the void Lucas-my first love-left behind. Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now.
