POINTS PER GAME: I Was A Bench Warmer Not A Starter

Love can be intoxicating, but sometimes it closes our eyes to the truth. In Points Per Game, Bella-la recounts her twenty-three-year journey with a man who promised everything: love, family, stability, but delivered manipulation, betrayal, and heartbreak instead.

From their first meeting in a restaurant to constant calls, secret trips, and deceptive gestures, Bella-la was drawn into a world of charm and control. She trusted him with her heart, her son, and her finances, only to face lies, broken promises, and emotional abuse.

Gifts meant for her were redirected, money meant to support him was used to fuel his other relationships, and trust was constantly tested. This memoir reveals shocking and deeply personal moments, the painful realization of manipulation, the betrayal she endured, and the struggle to protect her son while maintaining her own dignity.

Despite her gut instincts warning her, she stayed, hoping love would prevail. Points Per Game are more than a story of heartbreak; they are a testament to resilience, survival, and self-discovery. It is for anyone who has ever stayed too long in a relationship that wasn't right, anyone who has doubted their instincts, or anyone seeking hope after betrayal.

Through courage, honesty, and reflection, Bella-la shows that even the darkest relationships can teach us strength, self-worth, and the power of walking away.
