📖 Story Description – My Mother’s Shadow In a town where silence is tradition and fear is inheritance, a young girl grows up believing she is protecting her mother’s livelihood. The motel they run hides more than tired travelers — it hides broken girls, stolen childhoods, and secrets no one dares to name. Loyal to the woman she calls mother, she helps sustain a system that trades innocence for survival, never questioning its origin. What she does not know is that her life began as a punishment. Sold as a child. Raised in darkness. And born from the courage of a woman who once stood alone against forced marriages, cruelty, and tradition — a woman whose voice was silenced but whose shadow still lingers. As truths slowly unravel, one question remains: Can someone raised by evil escape the shadow of a mother she never knew?

📖 Chosen by Duty Description She was born into wealth. Into comfort. Into a life where fear had no place. But she chose something else. Inspired by a childhood friend - the boy who taught her courage, discipline, and justice - she dreamed of becoming a police officer. Together, they promised to serve. Together, they promised forever. Then fate took him away. Years later, she stands alone in uniform - feared, respected, untouchable. A woman known for her strength, her cold stare, and her loyalty to duty. Love is a memory she buried. Duty is the life she chose. But some promises refuse to die. When the past begins to circle back, she must face the one question she has avoided for years: Will she remain loyal to the badge... or to the love that shaped her destiny?

📖 Survival Wasn't a Choice Description They were born into wealth. Protected. Loved. Untouchable. Until death took their parents - and betrayal took everything else.

The elder sister becomes the shield - silent, exhausted, determined to keep her younger sister alive at all costs. The younger sister, broken by hunger and anger, begins to resent the very person saving her. With no help and no mercy from the world, survival becomes a daily war. She steals. Not for greed. Not for thrill. But because hunger doesn't listen to morals. When a dangerous man notices her rare skills, she's pulled into a mission far bigger than survival - a hunt for a treasure only a true thief can reach. In a world where choices are luxuries, she learns one painful truth: Survival was never a choice. It was a sentence

📖 Crazy Dancers Description Seven girls. Seven different lives. Seven dreams that refuse to stay buried. They hate dancing. They avoid singing. Something inside them whispers that they shouldn't.

Now reborn into different bodies and broken lives, they begin to see strange things. At night, their shadows dance - graceful, fearless, alive. They think it's just a dream. Until fate brings them together. Seven girls are kidnapped. Seven souls recognize each other. And seven shadows reunite. Dance is no longer a choice. It is their destiny. Will they run from who they were... or embrace who they are meant to become?
