Gum Gum Storm

In Love With My Bully

“Why didn’t you tell me?” “Tell you what, Richard? What would you have done?” “I don’t know. Apologized sooner? Bought you a burger to make up for it?” Her eyes lit up with fire, “You think what you did to me… you think a burger can make up for it?” her eyes twinkled like she was fighting tears. Did I hurt her that badly? I was just a foolish teenager. “Nita, I am sorry. I was young, I was stupid. I wish I could take it all back and tell you how I feel instead of being a constant jerk to gain your attention.” “How did you feel that would justify what you did to me?” I paused for a minute, finding the words. “I had a huge crush on you at the time. And I didn’t know how to express myself. I was full of myself, I was the school’s ladies' man and the one girl I had eyes for didn’t even care if I existed,”  “And that justified what you did to me? Richard, you broke me. I can forgive you for ‘accidentally’ spilling your ice cream on me, or throwing my due assignment in the toilet, or the gum in my hair, or the glue in my chair but tell me how can I forgive you for what you did that night? Tell me!” “What night? Nita, what are you talking about?” “Remember when you asked me if I knew who sexually assaulted me?” I nodded, but what does that have to do with anything?  The more we spoke, the more confused I became. “You did and I cannot believe that you would stand there and pretend like it didn’t happen!” Nita has spent years trying to forget the torment she endured at the hands of Richard. When her family’s financial ruin forces her into an arranged marriage, she is horrified to find out the groom himself was her bully. Richard, a charming and successful businessman meets the first woman to be repulsed by him. Intrigued, he proposes a deal of a one year marriage of convenience. Navigating life as a couple, old wounds reopen, buried memories surface. As Richard learns more about his wife, he finds that he has enemies that followed him from his past to continuously cloud his wife’s judgement. Will Nita believe the truth and bury old wounds or will the pain of the past prove too strong to heal?

Elara: Whispers of the Storm

The day of the Mass Awakening changed everything. Across the world, ordinary people woke to find extraordinary powers coursing through their veins. Chaos erupted, governments crumbled, and society was thrown into disarray. For Elara, a quiet librarian with a penchant for solitude, it was the beginning of a nightmare—and an awakening she never asked for. Gifted with the ability to control the wind and summon devastating storms, Elara struggles to contain her newfound powers. She hides from a world consumed by fear and power-hungry factions, determined to live in the shadows. But her life is upended when Damien—a rogue with a dark past and monstrous strength—steps into her world. His presence is both a challenge and a lifeline, as he insists they must join forces to uncover the truth behind the Awakening. As Elara and Damien journey across a fractured world, they find themselves drawn into a deadly web of secrets. They discover that the Awakening was no accident, but the result of a shadowy organization’s plan to reshape humanity. Worse still, the abilities come with a price: the more people use them, the closer they edge toward losing their humanity. Amidst the chaos, Elara’s connection to her powers grows stronger, revealing her as someone far more significant than she imagined—a key to either saving the world or unleashing its ultimate destruction. Torn between fear and duty, she must decide whether to embrace the storm within her or let it consume her entirely. But Elara is not alone. As she and Damien face trials that test their strength and will, an undeniable bond forms between them. In the midst of chaos, their love becomes a fragile sanctuary, though the storms around them threaten to tear it apart. Together, they must navigate a world on the brink, uncover the truth behind the Awakening, and confront a final choice: save humanity or let it fall to ruin. In a world of chaos, secrets, and unimaginable power, Elara: Whispers of the Storm is a story of love, resilience, and the whispers of a storm that may yet bring salvation—or destruction.
