Family has always been important to the Khan family and being the youngest of three girls, Soraya felt encompassed by familial love even between the petty squabbles of borrowing clothes and make up from one another.
Lockwood Springs was their childhood where Soraya has the happiest memories because when her eldest sister Farah went off to college in Boulder, everything seemed to change.
California became their new home and she had to start all over again at making friends and settling into a new way of life. With the third part of their sisterhood missing, Soraya never quite settled properly.
Life became more difficult when their parents cut all contact with Farah after discovering she had perused her passion for art and lied about her career. Since she was only 11, Soraya had no say in the matter and spent the years wondering how her eldest sister was doing.
Justice and truth had always been something that spurred a passionate response from Soraya, she went through the edgy teenage phase of debunking news articles and decided that she wanted to work within journalism. She graduated high school and pursued this career, accepting she would have to work from the bottom to the top.
Around this time, Soraya also broke their parents demands and reached out to Farah who had just welcomed children of her own. They rekindled their lost relationship quickly and fell back into how they always had been. Close and caring for one another, even from miles apart.
Soraya's plan always included moving back to Lockwood Springs and she did so just shy of her 30th birthday when she was offered a position at Lockwood Times. She had a good two years of being able to cover news stories the way she wanted to, until the rug was pulled from under her feet.
She met Cian Kelly not long after he arrived in Lockwood, and she should have seen all the signs. The lovebombing, the beautiful flowers being sent to her office 'just because.' The extravagant dates, the best of everything.
Only a few months into their whirlwind romance, Cian asked for a favor. A friend of a friend got into a spot of trouble and if the news articles picked it up, his whole livelihood could be lost. Soraya was hooked and spun the story in her article the way he asked, and that was the start of the end.
In between their romantic relationship, more and more of these favors kept appearing and before she knew it Soraya was under Cian's thumb and by the very nature of his world was an affiliate for his family's organization. All of the passion she ever had for journalism had been lost and she had turned into the very journalist she swore to never be.
Their relationship ended a year ago but Soraya cannot see a way of ever becoming an honest writer ever again, Cian knows too much and Soraya now knows how dangerous he and his connections can be. She keeps a brave face for her family and friends and hopes that she will see a way out safely soon.
