Keychains ✔

Preface

Hello, it's Jade here. "Keychains" is the second novella that I have ever written. I started in November 2020 with a short story idea of keys that could unlock hearts. It grew, changed and morphed from there. Four months later, I had a 1.5 draft of ~32k words. I am proud of it despite its flaws, and I'm excited for you to read it. Thoughts and constructive criticism welcomed. I hope you enjoy.

Note: In case you're not familiar with the voting system on Wattpad, a 'vote' is essentially the same as a 'like.' You can find the 'vote' star either in the bottom left-hand corner of your mobile device (tap the screen anywhere and you'll see the hollow star), or, if you're on browser, it'll be in the top right hand corner under your username. If you do like the stories you're reading on Wattpad, it'd mean everything to the author to hit that 'vote' button. It helps undiscovered authors get known, it helps us climb up the WP algorithm and it's a really easy and quiet way of showing your favourite authors some love and motivation.

A more important note: Trigger warning. This novel contains several explicit scenes of verbal and emotional abuse. It also mentions thoughts of suicide. My dear friend, if you are still on the path of healing and you know that this type of content will hinder your healing, please do not read. This book will always be here when you want to read it, and if not, it is okay. <3 Please stay safe. 

Blurb:

It's been ten years since Nora Whelan ran away, taking with her the painful secrets that shattered her family. Her ability to peer into other people's lives had saved her own. Now as the marketing manager of a technological enterprise, Nora is determined to succeed and leave her past failures behind.

But when Nora discovers she's to inherit her family's old house, she must confront her past, as well as the truth behind her visions.

As Nora dives deeper into the fractured past of her family, she is faced with a difficult question: What is worth fixing, and what is better left behind?

Warning:

This novella contains mention and depiction of emotional abuse. Please make sure you are in a mentally healthy place before reading. Thank you.
