When the lights go out
"One Decision" follows eighteen -year-old Freya Myers, a brilliant but broken foster teen, as she teeters on the edge of a new beginning-and a hidden nightmare. With a perfect GPA and dreams of opening a bookstore, Freya is determined to escape a system that's failed her. When a wealthy Southern family unexpectedly adopts her and whisks her away to a private estate in Georgia, it feels too good to be true.
Because it is.
The mansion is beautiful. The people? Picture-perfect. But behind the polished smiles and choreographed greetings lies something Freya can't quite name-yet. Strange rules. Watchful eyes. Whispers behind closed doors. And her new "brothers," who know more about her than they should.
As Freya digs deeper into the family's secrets, she's forced to confront her past and a chilling truth: she may not have been saved... she may have been chosen.
Dark, gripping, and emotionally raw, One Decision is a psychological coming-of-age thriller that explores what happens when the price of belonging may be your freedom-or your soul.

Chapter: More Than They’re Saying Chapter 4FreyaWalking down the stairs, my heart might burst out of my chest. The closer I get to the living room, the more I hear—low voices and serious tones. As I round the corner, a deep male voice cuts through the air, biting with annoyance. It's not Mr. Coldwell.Maybe one of his sons?Something in me says to stop. To wait."Dad, this is the last time I'm going to tell you—I'm done playing your games," the voice says, sharp and angry. "What bullshit are you scheming this time? Adopting a Black girl into this family—have you lost your mind?"Mr. Caldwell's reply is low, and controlled, but there's steel in his tone. "Mason, if you want to continue acting like a child, we'll treat you like one."Mason fires back with a light laugh. What are you going to do this time? Take my car, freeze my bank accounts but he can continue. Ms. Catherine's voice cuts in before he can. Calm but firm."She's a lovely girl. You have to get to know her."Another male voice joins in, heavier with fru

Chapter: New Name, New Home Chapter 3FreyaMaking my way downstairs I started to notice things that didn't stand out before like there were no family pictures on the walls or even trophies as if no one lived here. I want to peek around but I'm scared that I'll get in trouble. There's not much color here; if any there's only neutral colors like browns, whites, and greys even though I may not know what it's like to have a real family you can tell that no good memories were made here. That's a lot coming from me when my mother didn't want me. Things seem way too clean here yeah they're rich but this is entirely way too clean.Finally getting to the kitchen I'm met with a beautiful woman with brown hair. She can't be any taller than five-eight. You can tell that she keeps up with her maintenance weighing no more than one-thirty at the least. The deep red pencil dress that falls perfectly onto her shoulders next to her fair skin and blue eyes

Chapter: Scholarship, Not Charity Chapter 2FreyaAfter being on a flight for three hours I’m so ready to eat and sleep, but the men inform me we have another forty-five-minute drive to the estate. The two men are about five feet away from me. One is talking on the phone, looking straight at me. He and I make eye contact and he ends the call with whoever he is speaking with. They say nothing, just waving their hands and motioning for me to follow them. We walk through this private hallway until we reach a set of double glass doors. We walk through and we are met with another set of men but this time they seem more friendly. They're both wearing black suits but their hair isn’t cut as short as the other two. This time the car is a white four-door sedan with black seats and tinted windows as well. One of the gentlemen opens the back door telling me to get in the four men have a brief conversation about whatever because I couldn’t hear anything they were saying then we are off to meet my new “family”“Do you know anythin

Chapter: The ApplicationPrologue Hello, my name is Freya Myers. I'm currently in my senior year at MeadowCreek High School, and I have maintained a 4.00 GPA throughout my time there. I'm also involved in afterschool programs and events if I were chosen for the Georgia Fostering for the Youth scholarship I would further my education to get my degree in librarianship and business so that one day I’m able to open up my very own bookstore because growing up into the foster system since I was ten when I was taken from my mother due the fact that she could not provide a stable environment the only thing that ever kept me standing was books. They were my escape, my safe space — the one place no one could hurt me. One day, I hope I can be that safe space for another child. Somewhere they can breathe, dream, and feel seen. Feeling the air leaving my lungs trying to grasp onto anything that will keep me grounded while my vision is becoming blurry my skin hot to the touch feeling myself cumming fast and hard but the
