Shrivya and her elder brother, Anvay, had a happy life filled with love, despite growing up away from their father's wealthy family. Years ago, their father chose love over family, a decision that led to him and his wife being cast out and forgotten by the powerful Singhania family. But everything changes in a single tragic night. After a devastating accident claims the lives of their parents, Shrivya and Anvay are left alone in the world. While Anvay fights for his life in a coma, Shrivya awakens in a hospital bed, shattered by grief and uncertainty. With no relatives she knows and nowhere to go, her future seems hopeless. Then a stranger arrives. Viraj Singhania-her father's brother. The same family that once turned its back on her parents has finally learned of the tragedy. Standing before the orphaned children, Viraj makes a decision that will change their lives forever: he will take them home to the Singhania Mansion. But home is not always a place of comfort. Behind the grand walls of Singhania House lie buried secrets, old grudges, and family members who are far from welcoming. As Shrivya struggles to find her place in a family she has never known, she discovers that blood ties can be both a blessing and a curse. Can she heal the wounds of the past and unite a fractured family, or will the secrets that tore her parents away destroy her future as well? A heartfelt story of loss, love, family, and belonging, The Lost Singhanias is a journey of resilience, courage, and the search for a place to call home.

She was their light. Their reason. Their home. And then one night- she became their absence. Six brothers built empires trying to find her. But the world doesn't know this yet- the little girl they lost... isn't lost anymore. She's coming back. Not as who she was. But as someone the world fears. She doesn't remember the blood she was born into- but it remembers her. He fell for her light, never knowing she was forged in darkness. Some women are protected by the mafia. Others are the mafia. By day, Kriya is everything the world trusts- sunshine in human form, a medical student with gentle hands and a softer heart. The kind of girl people love without question. By night, she disappears. Into locked rooms. Into unheard music. Into movements that feel less like dance... and more like survival. The world sees her light. No one sees the discipline beneath it. No one sees the violence she keeps buried. Then comes Abeer Oberoi- a man of control and conviction. Calm where she is chaos. Steady where she is fire. What starts as banter turns dangerous. What feels like safety becomes something deeper. Something neither of them is ready for. Because somewhere in the city- blood is being spilled in her name. The underworld whispers of Kali. A shadow no one has seen. A force no one survives. Kriya doesn't remember the life she lost. The family still searching. The twin whose heartbeat unknowingly mirrors hers. But the blood remembers. And when the past begins to claw its way back- when love collides with legacy, when light stands at the edge of darkness- Kriya will have to choose: remain the girl the world knows... or become the woman the underworld fears. And in the end... only one version of her will survive.

╰┈➤ ❝No, I'm fine, I'm lying on the floor again.❞ She's a little rabbit amidst a pack of hungry wolves. A prey amidst a pack of predators. A flickering light amidst a jungle of darkness. Her kindness is her vulnerability, a soft heartbeat in the face of merciless, sharp fangs. Yet, in the midst of this peril, there's a quiet strength, a glimmer of innocence that refuses to be extinguished. She may be small, but they aren't the only ones with secrets. How does one go from being a normal 15 year old with the best family she could ask for to being the unknown daughter of a billionaire? From skipping through life like its a path of roses to finding danger in every breath she takes? From dancing to baby shark as she walked home to playing video games in a private jet? Ask anyone, they would say she is a combination of water and fire. A shimmering river that will flow in whichever way you direct her and also a blubbering stumbling fool that might or might not burn down a building if left unsupervised. In her defense the ground is 'madly in love with her' and danger is a 'clingy ex'. Welcome to the life of Palak; a carefree overthinker, a sensitive rock, a withering laughing fool. She doesn't break, but she sure as hell is covered in bruises. This is Palak. An oblivious Mafia Princess. The Bubbly Heiress of Chaos. Will she be able to keep her smile or will she end up loosing it forever?
