Trauma Stories

Sixteen-year-old Jade Andrews has spent her entire life in Fairview - a town where everyone knows your name, but nobody knows the truth. Behind the quiet streets and perfect houses, Jade's world has never been safe. At home, she lives under the control of her abusive stepfather, learning to keep her head down, stay quiet, and never give anyone a reason to look too closely. At school, she has become invisible. Small, only 4'10", with long brown hair and dark eyes that have learned to avoid attention, Jade has spent years being the girl people whisper about, laugh at, and walk past. Fairview High has never been kind to her, and she has never expected it to be. Until Hunter Lockwood arrives at the centre of her world. Six foot five, captain of the rugby team, with blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, and a surname that carries as much power as his family's historic estate, Hunter is everything Jade is not. He is admired. Feared. Untouchable. The Lockwood family has always owned the biggest house, the most land, and the most influence in Fairview. Hunter is the golden son, surrounded by his four younger siblings and a legacy he is expected to protect. Alongside Noah, Xavier, Zach, and Luke, Hunter rules the halls of Fairview High. And for years, Jade has been one of their favourite targets. But when Hunter begins noticing the things everyone else ignores - the fear behind Jade's silence, the cracks in the perfect image she tries to maintain - he starts questioning everything he thought he knew. Because Fairview has always had secrets. And Jade Andrews might be the one person brave enough to expose them.

Blind since childhood, Roisin Wade has learned to trust what others ignore - the shift in someone's breathing, the weight of their silence, the way fear has a smell. So when she hears something on her way home one night, she knows - not what it was or who - just that it was wrong, and that whoever was responsible saw her there. August Rylov is dangerously charming, his voice is steady, even if his presence is not. Roisin knows better than to trust what feels safe, but he's persistent, and she's lonely. What Roisin doesn't know is that August isn't just courting her - he's hunting her because she's a loose end he can't afford to leave untied.

In the kingdom of Aurelia, where crowns are inherited and power decides the fate of the powerless, a young boy named Kai Everhart was taken away from his home and given as a royal slave when he was only six years old. His new master was Prince Adrian Sterling, the seven-year-old heir to the throne. But unlike the cruel stories told about royalty, Adrian was kind in those early years. He never saw Kai as a servant. He saw him as a friend. He protected him from the harshness of the palace, shared his childhood with him, and made a promise... "I will never let anyone hurt you." For a little boy who had lost everything, those words became his only hope. But promises made in childhood are not always remembered. Years passed. The gentle prince disappeared. The boy who once held Kai's hand became the man who now holds his power over him. At twenty-one, Prince Adrian Sterling, the future king of Aurelia, has become everything Kai once feared. The same person who gave him kindness now gives him pain. The friend who promised to protect him has turned his life into a never-ending struggle. At twenty, Kai Everhart has nothing left except his memories, his silence, and the broken pieces of a promise that was never kept. But the royal palace hides secrets... And Adrian is not the only one who will decide Kai's fate. When Adrian enters a political marriage with the powerful King Lucian Voss, Kai's life changes once again. No longer belonging only to the future king... He becomes trapped between two rulers. Two crowns. Two powerful men. And one broken soul. But what happens when the person who destroyed you is also the only person who remembers the innocent child you used to be? A story of lost promises, betrayal, power, obsession, hidden emotions, and a love that was buried beneath years of pain... Because sometimes the person who breaks your heart is the same person who once promised to protect it.

Ten years ago, the youngest heir of the Vale empire vanished. The war ended. The enemies fell. But he never came back. Now a new student walks into Blackwood Academy. Quiet. Observant. Untouchable. Two of the Vale brothers can't explain why he feels familiar. Why his silence feels like something they lost. He doesn't flinch when they threaten him. Doesn't bow when they command him. Doesn't care who they are. But he knows things. Too many things. And every time danger gets close- It disappears. The Vale brothers have a feeling. The enemy has a plan. And the truth? The truth might destroy them all. But who is the boy watching them from the shadows? Why does he look at them like strangers... and like home at the same time? And when the past finally comes for them- will blood be enough to bring him back?

At fifteen... she was light. Niharika Rathore was the kind of girl who made rooms softer just by entering them. A sunshine soul wrapped in innocence. She laughed too easily, trusted too quickly, and loved her mother more than anything in the world. Her eyes-almond-shaped, deep, observant-held warmth. Her smile could melt silence. Chubby cheeks like cotton candy... a face everyone remembered. But some stories don't stay soft. Because in one night... everything changed. The man her mother trusted... the man who was supposed to become her stepfather... became the reason her world cracked open. Nothing loud. Nothing spoken. Just a line crossed that should have never been crossed. And after that night... Niharika was never the same. --- At seventeen... she is still alive. But the sunshine is gone. Her smile doesn't reach her eyes anymore. Her gaze avoids people, like the world itself became unsafe. Quiet. Careful. Guarded. She no longer trusts light. She only trusts shadows. Then fate turns again. Her mother slips into a coma. And suddenly... there is no place left for her. A maternal grandfather she barely knows sends her away-far from everything she called home. But before she can leave... another truth arrives like a storm. A father she never truly knew. A name whispered in fear. A mafia king. And he wants her back. Not as a guest. Not as a choice. As his daughter. --- But Niharika has already learned one thing the hard way: Men break things. Even the ones who are supposed to protect you. Now she is taken into a world she never imagined- A house filled with power... silence... and eight brothers who see her as an outsider. No women. No softness. No familiarity. Only rules. Distance. Watchful eyes. And a girl who is terrified of men... being forced to live surrounded by them.

At two years old, she was taken from everything she knew - a powerful father, devoted brothers, and a home where she was treasured beyond measure. Kidnapped by the one person meant to protect her, she vanished without a trace. Raised in cruelty by her mother and stepfather, she grew up believing pain was normal and love was something earned. She never knew she had been stolen - or that an entire empire had been quietly searching for her. For fourteen years, her father and brothers tore through cities, secrets, and bloodlines to find the daughter and sister ripped from them. Now, as she turns sixteen, the truth begins to unravel. And when a mafia family finally finds what was taken from them, they don't let go easily.

Death is peace. And peace is mercy. 𝐇𝐞'𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥. To reach him, he will use his sister- make her the path, the bait, the weapon with no way back. He will step into her life out of nowhere, on a night so black the stars choke on their own light, and twist it until it screams. She will let him, at first. She will let him ruin her. Until she belongs to 𝐧𝐨 𝐨𝐧𝐞. Until she can't even belong to 𝐡𝐢𝐦. And that's where everything starts to burn.
