 A Message from Hetza – Why I Wrote “So I Kept Her Locked Away” 
          	
          	Hey everyone. This is the first time I’m sharing the deeper reason behind this story.
          	
          	“So I Kept Her Locked Away” is not just a book. It’s the unraveling of a truth I’ve held in my bones since I was a little girl — and the remembering of the voice I had to bury to survive.
          	
          	Each chapter I write is a piece of my soul I’ve retrieved. It’s not fiction. It’s real. Told through my eyes as a child, through memories I wasn’t supposed to speak about, and through a heart that still believed love could survive the dark.
          	
          	I write this for the ones who had to raise themselves.
          	For the ones who were the secret-keepers and the peacekeepers.
          	For the ones who watched the door at night.
          	For the ones who felt crazy for remembering what others pretended never happened.
          	
          	This is my healing. But it’s also a lighthouse.
          	
          	I’ve paired each episode with a song that helped me survive — especially Eminem’s. His music helped me see through the shadows and gave me the courage to speak what others couldn’t. This project is part survival story, part soul mission.
          	
          	If you’re reading this, thank you. For witnessing. For feeling. For walking with me.
          	
          	This is only the beginning.
          	
          	 +  = 
          	Pain into purpose. Memory into medicine.
          	
          	With all my heart,
          	Hetza E.

NEW EPISODE 56 Dare Me
          
          No one saw it coming not the way everything shifts, the way boundaries blur before anyone realizes what’s happening. ‍️
          It starts with harmless teasing, just another moment between friends. 
          Until suddenly, it isn’t. ⚡
          Lines get crossed, words hang heavy, and no one is sure what’s real and what’s just a game. 
          Tension builds, and in the middle of it all, there’s one question no one wants to say out loud. ❓
          What happens when someone finally stops holding back? 
          Dare Me an episode where impulse meets consequence, and nothing will be the same after. 
          
          Putting all my love and care in this story <3 Enjoy your evening all

NEW EPISODE 55 Twisted Truths.
          
          Calvin and Jared sit side by side , the dim glow of the TV casting shadows across the room . The tension in the air isn’t just from the game, it lingers between them, unspoken but unmistakable ⚡.
          Jared is locked in, fingers flying across buttons as his character lands a sharp blow . Calvin barely reacts, his focus split between the battle on the screen and the weight of everything left unsaid .
          Jared throws out a casual taunt , but there’s something more beneath it, something questioning. Calvin smirks , but his body language doesn’t match the confidence in his words. He fires back with his own challenge, pretending this is just another game, just another night .
          But the truth, it’s written in stolen glances , in the way neither of them really lets their guard down. One final hit, a fatality ☠️. The screen flashes its verdict, "FINISH HIM!"
