Chapter 1 Loss and Longing

Aurora Dawson Gama's life took a dramatic turn when she lost her mother at a tender age. Her family, once a happy trio consisting of her father, Dawson Gama, her mother, Allison Gama, and herself, was forever changed. They had lived in a small village where farming was the primary source of livelihood, surrounded by a close-knit community where everyone was a friend. Despite financial struggles, Dawson and Allison provided for Aurora's basic needs, cherishing her as a blessing, especially since she was born after they had given up hope of having a child.

They instilled in her the idea that she was a princess, destined for greatness.

Tragedy struck when Allison fell ill with an incurable disease. Dawson exhausted their resources in search of a cure, but ultimately, they lost her. The loss was devastating, and the village, once filled with happy memories, became a painful reminder. Dawson and Aurora decided to start anew in a different location.

Years passed, and though the memories faded, the pain lingered. Aurora grew up with her devoted father, who never remarried, and dedicated himself to her care. Dawson worked tirelessly as a fisherman to provide for Aurora, often going out to sea for days at a time. Despite the long hours, he always made time for Aurora, attending school events and coaching her sports teams. She often encouraged him to find love again, feeling he needed companionship and she needed a maternal figure in her life. Dawson would smile and say he was too old for love, but Aurora knew he was still hurting from the loss of her mother.

They settled near the seaside, a place that held fond memories of walks with her mother. As Aurora matured, she wondered if her mother's tales of her being a princess were mere fantasies. Was she destined for greatness or simply a small-town girl with lofty aspirations? Her father's unwavering dedication to providing for her, despite countless struggles, made her ponder if their humble life was just a disguise for a more affluent reality. However, that revelation never came, and she continued to witness her father's selfless sacrifices.

As Aurora navigated her teenage years, she struggled to come to terms with her loss. She felt like a part of her had been ripped away, leaving a gaping hole that could never be filled. She became withdrawn and isolated, struggling to connect with her peers. Her father's love and support were a constant source of comfort, but she couldn't help but feel like she was living in a world that was not hers. She would often find herself wandering the seaside, searching for a glimpse of her mother's smile or the sound of her laughter. She'd listen to the waves, hoping to hear her mother's soothing voice.

Aurora's struggles in school began to reflect her emotional turmoil. She struggled to focus in class, and her grades began to slip. Her father, worried about her well-being, sat her down for a heart-to-heart talk. "Aurora, I know it's hard, but you can't let your grief define you," he said. "You have to find a way to heal and move forward." Aurora nodded, knowing her father was right, but the pain still lingered.

The memories of her mother haunted her, a bittersweet reminder of what she had lost. Aurora's story was one of loss and longing, a testament to the enduring power of love and memory. Though she had lost her mother, she held on to the memories they had shared, cherishing them as a reminder of the love that had once been. As she looked out at the sea, she knew that she would always carry her mother's memory with her, a constant reminder of the love that had shaped her life.

MY MASTERS

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
