[Short story] When Alvaro D'Cruz was asked about his children, he said he had five. When Ezekiel D'Cruz was asked about his siblings, he said he had five. Alvaro D'Cruz had never looked at his youngest and felt what he should have felt: love. To him, this little girl was blood and flesh, but not his and theirs. He had enemies, rivals, a business empire, and a reputation of not being the most warm person in the room. To him, the only person who had ever mattered was his one true love, his wife who had left him after his sixth kid was born. Did he love his other kids? Check. Did he never hate his wife? Double check. Did he blame the kid? Triple check. His youngest has always hoped that he'll look at her, one day, without any coldness or ignorance and see her. Finally. But Alvaro D'Cruz was legendary in his indifference and the doors to his heart were already slammed shut. The only question remains: Did he ever love her?

Everin Blackwell The first girl born into the Blackwell dynasty in over ten generations. The Blackwells are one of the oldest, richest, and most feared families in the world ruling the highest tiers of society alongside the Drache, Vanguard, Cambridge, Hastings, and Calloway families. Together, they are the unseen hand behind power, privilege, and secrets that span continents. For the past five years, Everin has lived in seclusion, tucked away at a prestigious boarding school in England. No contact with her family, just an annual visit from the father who raised her like a stranger. Her mother's death has blown out the candle of this once united family. What happens when shes the only witness. When she knows what really happened that day. When shes blamed for her silence on the matter and yet shes been growing a seed of revenge for years. But now, Everin is returning home. And she is no longer the same girl who left. She carries secrets-dangerous ones. And something else is changing inside her. Her five older brothers, distant and cold, claim to feel nothing for the sister they barely know. But when the truth begins to surface-that Everin is dying and only has a small chance of surviving-everything begins to unravel. Will they discover the truth before it's too late? Or will their silence, resentment, and guilt destroy her first? Everin, however, has her own mission. She's willing to risk everything to uncover the truth-even if it means attending a hidden academy designed to awaken the powerful gifts buried in her bloodline. But unlocking her power comes with a cost. As deadly secrets rise and new alliances form, can Everin survive the legacy she was born into? And will the other heirs see her as one of their own-or as the threat she's destined to become? ... Book cover credit (Pinterest) (Sahrosh Editx) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Like water, soil, and sun, can you nurture me? Nasrin "Rin" Rivers grows things for a living. She's a broke twenty-four-year-old gardener raising her sick younger brother in a cramped apartment overflowing with plants, the only thing in her life she can control. Not her addict mother, not her father's absence, and definitely not the stack of bills growing faster than her plants. So when she wakes up half naked and hungover in a mansion she could never afford to walk past, she knows she's hit a new low. What she doesn't expect is the owner: Emiliano Valderrama, a stunning and infuriating Colombian heir with a reputation for being untouchable...and a clear memory of the night she can't remember. She thinks their chaotic encounter is over-until the next morning, when she learns the mansion belongs to the same man behind the high-paying gardening job she just applied for. Their accidental collision spirals into a sharp, intoxicating push-and-pull as Rin discovers the world behind his gates is full of secrets, obsessions, and dangers that bloom like nightshade. Caught between survival, family loyalty, and a man who terrifies her almost as much as he draws her in, Rin must decide whether Emiliano is just another beautiful poison, or something worth risking everything for. Rin knows how to handle dangerous growth. She can prune it, shape it, survive it. But Emiliano Valderrama? He's something she's never learned to control. And in his world, nothing is planted by chance.

This diary begins at the beginning. It traces a life as it quietly unfolds - from displacement and uncertainty, through unfamiliar places and people, and into something resembling home. Some entries are observational, some deeply personal, others quietly funny. All of them are honest. This is not a polished memoir or a story with neat chapters. It's life written as it was lived: one day at a time. Lessons arrive disguised as conversations. Control and kindness sit uncomfortably side by side. And belonging is something that grows slowly, almost without being noticed. The entries are shared in sequence, allowing the past to breathe before the present catches up. If you enjoy character-led realism, emotional undercurrents, dry humour, and the slow building of trust and purpose - start at page one.
