Returned Stories

They weren't raised - they survived. In homes where "I love you" came wrapped in violence, silence, and broken promises, two girls learned early: Love could destroy you faster than hate ever could. They didn't meet by fate. They met through scars-hidden deep beneath perfect smiles. One bled her truth onto paper, in poems no one ever really read. The other built walls higher than anyone could climb, wearing ambition like armor. A single poem - raw, brutal, and painfully human - tore open the silence between them. Two fractured souls recognized the wreckage inside each other. Together, they made a vow: No one would break them again. But survival wasn't enough. Betrayals came. Promises shattered. Justice failed them - again and again. So they became what the world fears: By day: an elegant professor and a razor-sharp lawyer, celebrated yet untouchable. By night: architects of an underground empire, rewriting the rules of a world that once caged them. They are not heroes. They are not healed. And they are not sorry. Some scars don't fade - they sharpen. Some storms don't pass - they evolve. This is not a love story. This is not a redemption arc. This is rage reborn as survival. Pain reforged into power. Sisterhood carved from fire and blood. If you've ever hidden a scream behind a smile... If you've ever vowed you'd never be broken again- This story is yours.

Retail is hell. Literally. Lex Monroe has survived construction sites, back-breaking labor, and raising two kids on her own-but nothing prepared her for the soul-sucking nightmare of working the graveyard shift at Hell-Mart. She's overworked, underpaid, and one corporate spreadsheet away from snapping. After years of holding the store together, Lex finally gets the promotion she deserves... but only after the current manager, Todd, dies in a hilariously freak accident involving a loading dock, a cursed garden gnome, and a tantrum. Now Lex is the new boss of the damned-and things are getting weird. Fluorescent lights flicker with ancient evil. The intercom whispers in Latin. Aisle 17 seems to breathe when no one's looking. And her 17-year-old daughter Tess? She just started seeing ghosts-including Todd, who's just as annoying dead as he was alive. Turns out, Hell-Mart isn't just built on ancient burial grounds-it might be the gateway to something much, much worse. Between haunted breakrooms, cursed merchandise, and an undead support group that won't shut up, Lex and Tess are in for the shift of a lifetime. Clock in, gear up, and whatever you do... don't go near the clearance section.

I was a normal, teenage girl just yesterday. Well, I’m still a teenage girl, but the ‘normal’ part has been ripped away by all that has happened. You don’t think that you’re suddenly going to be forced to give up your entire life to steal back the Summer Queen’s crown while you’re drinking a cup of coffee in the morning. And you certainly don’t think about visiting a place that doesn’t even exist and becoming a hero. Those things just happen. Unannounced. No warnings whatsoever. And they only happen once every Millennium. So is it a good thing or a bad thing if you are one of the sought after Heroes? I still can’t decide.

Basically what the title says. I always hate when I'm reading a story and it gets interrupted with an author's note or a question or whatever. So I'm going to do all that here. Granted, only people who follow me will get the updates, unless you keep this in your library. But oh well, that's the way the system works. This is a book for announcements, questions, and submitting requests.
