About

Ada, a vibrant 20 year-old, thought she had it all figured out when she married Keli, her college sweetheart. Their flash marriage was the talk of the town, a whirlwind romance that promised a lifetime of happiness. But as they settled into their urban life, the reality of family life began to unravel their perfect facade. The initial spark faded, replaced by unspoken resentments and unmet expectations. The once-charming Keli revealed a darker side, and Ada found herself trapped in a twisted plot of manipulation and control. Now, divorced at 22, Ada must navigate the complexities of rebuilding her life, confronting the ghosts of her past, and discovering her true strength.

Chapter 1 Who she is

Ada, her youthful face etched with the premature lines of hardship, moved with a quiet intensity that belied her age. The vibrant girl who once dreamed of a future beyond their struggling existence was gone, replaced by a young woman hardened by the streets. Her once carefree spirit was now a guarded flame, flickering against the harsh winds of their reality.

Her days were a relentless cycle of hustling, a constant dance between survival and hope. She navigated the city's underbelly with a practiced ease, her instincts honed by necessity. The weight of her mother's reliance and the responsibility for her younger sister pressed upon her, a burden she carried with stoic resolve. Though the classroom was a distant memory, the streets had become her school, each encounter a lesson in resilience and resourcefulness.

She was a chameleon, adapting to each situation, her words and actions carefully chosen to protect herself and her family. Yet, beneath the tough exterior, a flicker of the old Ada remained-a longing for a life beyond the struggle, a yearning for the dreams that had been deferred but not entirely extinguished. The stars, her silent confidantes, watched over her, bearing witness to her struggles, her silent prayers, and her unwavering determination to survive.
