Aira was just supposed to reach her editor on time. Instead, she stepped of a train that shouldn't exist. A station that looked like her city-but wasn't. People she knew-didn't know her. A world that felt strangely... like it had been waiting. And then there was him. A clockmaker who spoke like he already knew her. Who looked at her like this wasn't the first time they'd met. Who warned her: "You weren't supposed to get off the train ". But the longer she stays, the harder it becomes to leave. Because for the first time in her life - Aira feels like she belongs And leaving means forgetting him. Staying means losing herself. And somewhere between time, memory , and a love that refused to fade- She had to choose.

In the quiet town of Northwood Pines, symbols began to appear-carved into the skin of the dead. As victims fall, Ethan steps into the shadows of city that hides more than it reveals. With every clue, a darker truth surfaces: a killer among them, masked in plain sight, experimenting on lives as if they were science projects. A web of lies, betrayal, and chilling brilliance-where every ally could be the enemy,and every step forward might be a trap. (Snippet) Mark's eyes narrowed. "That means Andrew never submitted the evidence." ............... ............... Mr. Marcus' voice hardened. "I thought you were a good man, like your father. But it seems I was wrong. You're not only a suspect but also aiding another criminal."

𝐒𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤 (𝟏𝟖+) Sakshi had just stepped into her nineteenth year. She was not like other girls - instead, she was very timid, shy, and quiet, with a heart as pure as holy water. She grew up in a family of five, where every day she saw her father hurting and torturing her mother without any reason. Watching this pain at home, Sakshi slowly lost all her dreams about marriage and love. To her, marriage was not something beautiful - it was something to fear. One day, without asking for her opinion or even telling anyone else, her father fixed her marriage with a man a few years older than her. Hearing this, Sakshi felt her world fall apart. Fear gripped her heart - what if her future husband turned out just like her father? What if her life became another cage of pain and sadness? Terrified and helpless, Sakshi stands at the edge of a new life she never asked for. What will happen to her now? Will her husband bring her happiness, or will history repeat itself?
