Finding Nathaniel

Who was Nadia Lupita Darcie?

“The woman with the perfect curves and high sex appeal?”. ‘’The nutcase who could snap at any second?” “A gang member’s main squeeze?’’ “The recovering drug addict?’’ ‘’The caring friend who would do anything for the people she loved?” “The stripper slash prostitute?”.

Nadia Lupita Darcie would describe herself as ‘messed-up and unlucky’.

Suffered the tragic passing of her father at a young age, went through emotional and sexual abuse by one of her mother’s conquests, abandoned by her mother, left homeless for five years, developed a drug addiction in her teenage years, not to mention her failing mental health. 

But she survived those storms; at least, some of them. 

At age 24, she was determined to take control of her life, by that, she meant finally getting custody of her younger half-brother, Nathaniel. 

A tragedy struck. He went missing along with his adoptive father after a boat cruise trip. 

The one person she lived for, was gone, presumed ‘dead’ by the police and the neighborhood. 

Despite waking up to nightmares hinting that he was dead, she got up each morning, hoping to hear news of her brother being found. 

That was till the month of May came. Introduced to more problems, from witnessing the fall of a gang member to unbelievable messy reunions, she wonders if she will ever find what she had always wanted?

And when she does, will she like it?
