"They say life experiences can either make or mar a person. Well for me, it was both. Being broken and repaired, experiencing different emotions, as though I'm an emotional arcade. Life went through me, leaving scars and stars." She chuckled lightly, reminiscing her beloved. "And if you were asked to describe your life in a sentence..." She adjusted slightly on her seat. Fondling with the straps of her black spaghetti top and feigning confidence in her posture, she gave her answer. "I'd describe my life as a bed of roses, only, with so many thorns." "I guess that makes you a scarred beautiful thorned rose." ♧ ♧ ♧ Life is like a game, same as love. One wrong move, and you're done for. Well what wrong move could Sewa have done in this beautiful game of love and life? What wrong move could she have played in her emotional arcade? ♧ ♧ ♧ Started; 7 February 2022

"I really can't believe you're denying me in bed as a punishment, Jadesola." He growled, his voice laced with a dangerous edge to it. I paused in the middle of applying my beauty mask but refused to grant him my attention. "I believe I am not talking to a mannequin, Jade? Or are you going to ignore me as well?" When he met with silence, he stood up from the bed and began to walk closer to where I sat. He really wanted me to talk huh?! "William, you went ahead and did what I requested, no, I made you promise not to do. And you expect me to jump into your bed like a dog on heat afterwards? Why consult me now if you can make your decisions on your own." My body still sat in front of that mirror, but it was far from relaxed anymore, being in the same space with Williams always yielded that result. "I'll have you know that I am still your husband, Jade!" His clouded expression of frustration made me smile inwardly. "And I hope you also recollect I'm still your wife." I replied with just as much force and stood to my feet. In a relationship that was written-off as a failure, sparks with intense electricity is what had always been avoided. That was of course, until Cupid decided to shoot arrows and feelings are caught. Is it supposedly a disaster when the union is seen as a doom by possessors? SLOW UPDATES!

❇️ 2018 WATTYS WINNER! The Originals category ❇️ - "The Breakfast Club" meets "Nancy Drew" in this most unusual YA Mystery. SUMMARY: Five high school students, with little in common other than being descendants of the town founders, are forced to work on a history project together. But when their history project uncovers evidence of a long-buried town secret, the kids must piece together the clues behind their discovery before its legacy comes back to haunt them. ***** Using ACTUAL, archival material (some dating as far back as 1776), The Descendants weaves a tale of mystery and intrigue, constructed entirely from real photographs, documents, and snippets of history from a small, rural town in New Hampshire. What Dan Brown did with conspiracy theories in "The DaVinci Code" and Ransom Riggs did with historical photographs in "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," I will attempt to do in "The Descendants," but with teen protagonists and the Cheshire County Historical Society. :-) Why? 'Cause I'm crazy like that! Yeah, I know...History?! Blah! But it actually turned out really fun! :-)

Alliances with the Mother have been made from generation to generation to solidify kingdoms. ------------------------ As the youngest child of the Royal Curianese Family, Princess Adonia grew up understanding the importance of duty. The biggest problem faced by Adonia was that the King always allowed her to live her life as free as a whisp of wind. Living unbound by the traditions that governed the way in which the Curianese people comported themselves placed an unfavorable label on the young Princess Adonia. Her displayed lack of respect for tradition labeled her 'Different'. The price she would be forced to pay for being different would bind her to a world unlike any she had ever known before and may prevent the young princess from casting her eyes upon her people or Curianese lands ever again. ------------------------ "The Duke de Valois is one of my sons whom I cherish with my heart. I would refrain from recommending he and your dear sister, the Princess, be joined in marriage if I were not prepared to extend her my protection. The protection of the crown is sacrosanct. Anyone who dares lay a finger or so much as a wagging tongue on Princess Adonia will officially be considered to have committed treason." The King stood before them as he made a vow to the Royal Curianese Ambassadors. "Wait. Your Highness... Brother... what are you saying?" Princess Adonia rattled on not sure of what she had heard. "Yes, Your Highness. What is the meaning of this?" The Duke de Valois joined the princess's effort to make sense of the words that had been spoken. The Duke and the Princess are forced to navigate a course of which neither of them is prepared to engage.

"butterflies are indeed attracted to death." once again, a girl being the love interest of two people is cliché, not until it's Lauv. It stops being cliché once the girl has chosen what she thinks is her star crossed lover. It becomes even more intriguing when French hybrid Victor seems to be the choice. Lauv, also known as bimba, the wealthiest Mafia vampire, she's the perfect example of making use of wealth to help others, whereas, Lorenzo, a waiter, is mysterious and docile, Lorenzo is a perfect fit for Lauv's habit of wanting and keeping things she considers pretty. What happens next when after remembering Victor, Lauv finds out who her real beloved is? What would you do? Who would you choose? ... "Wait you're mad at me because you're the one telling him to leave? It's his choice, he gets to choose, don't humans have free choice or are you playing god's game: lying to him and choosing what's best for him? I just influenced his actions and if I, were in him, whether or not you instructed me to, I'd leave too if someone threatened to kill me!" She lazily raised her hand upwards taking a few steps back, as if she wasn't embarrassing me. "God's game?" I questioned her dismayed by her words. "Right you're leaving?" She asked him with an annoyed look on her face, totally ignoring my question. ...

Betrayal by the ones you love is painful. You tend to ask yourself questions as if you are the one at fault.Thoughts that are not meant to be shared by talking but only written words will help ease the pain. When people fail to understand me I turn to writing for refugee. This is the first time I have felt confident to publish my work. Lack of encouragement and support is the problem but now I feel I should at least do the this if I fail I fail the least I could to is try!!

There are so many African American writers on Wattpad and Black stories do not get enough recognition. I decided to make up a book supporting fellow Wattpad African American writers that write Black stories. This is a "for us, by us" book. I only will include African-American authors that write Black stories. I will post a new chapter reconizing a Black writer every day for Black History Month.

Ch 1- Ch 6 available on wattpad. The rest of the book (45 chapters) is available for purchase on Amazon, eBook and paperback. The first thing people think when they see Nat walking the streets of The French Quarter in New Orleans is, "so young and pretty, such a shame that she's homeless". Then they don't pay her anymore attention as she plucks their wallets right out of their pockets. That was her life. Stealing just to survive. Unless she got a big job; setting wealthy tourist men up to get robbed and that day she had found the perfect target. It wasn't until she was stabbed and losing consciousness that she learned she was his perfect target. Waking up in a small, grimy room with five strangers around her, she's enlightened that she's been kidnapped by none other than the Mass Grave Killer. It was simple. He kidnapped ten people, held them for two years, and then buried their bodies in a mass grave, and he had been doing it for over six years already, but there was no way that Nana was going to lie down and let him kill her. If she could survive fighting grown men for tent space, she could fight another for her life. Every day of those two years she fights for her life and when time is almost up she finds the strength to kill the man that tortured ten people for two years and finally escapes. She's free, but not without scars. For the next two years, she tries to piece her life back together between the flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety attacks, and just when she thinks things are looking good, she comes face to face with her nightmares. Tha man she killed has come back from the grave, and the only thing he wants is to start over with her. Having to constantly look over her shoulder, she now has to run for her life and try to catch him before he catches her.
