    Reyansh Malhotra never asked to inherit an empire built on blood. As the cold, calculating boss of one of the most feared crime syndicates, he only wants one thing: control. But his aging father wants a marriage alliance to secure power-and gives him a deadline. When Reyansh goes to collect a debt, the terrified debtor offers something unforgivable: his 19-year-old son, Aarav. Quiet, sweet-faced, and smiling shyly behind trembling lashes. Reyansh accepts out of strategy, not compassion. Marriage solves his problem. But the mansion reveals a truth Reyansh hadn't prepared for. Aarav is nineteen in body but emotionally like a 4-year-old-cheerful, trusting, stubborn, pure in a world made of knives. He hums nursery rhymes while exploring marble corridors, calls Reyansh "Uncle" at first, then adorably corrects himself with "Patidev ji", unaware of the weight of the word. He cries when thunder booms, hides behind curtains when strangers shout, and gifts Reyansh crayon drawings as "contract payments." The mafia boss who has ordered deaths without blinking suddenly finds himself learning how to: hold tiny trembling hands during panic attacks sit through animated movies and bedtime stories protect a fragile soul from a world that would break him But the mafia world isn't forgiving. Rumors spread. Enemies see weakness. Loyalties fracture. Reyansh has to choose-treat Aarav as a burden, a shield, a pawn...or something devastatingly dangerous to a man like him. Slowly, Reyansh stops being "the monster who owns him" and becomes the protector who loves him. The boy who laughs at butterflies becomes the only light in Reyansh's darkness. But as buried truths surface-about why Aarav is like this, about his past, about who broke him-the world they've built trembles. Can a mafia king learn gentleness? Can he love someone who lives in innocence while swimming in sin? And when enemies want Aarav, will Reyansh save him as a responsibility. or as the most important person in his life?

    Title: Masaallah, I Got Kidnapped Summary Everyone in the underworld knew him. A man so cold that even bullets hesitated before touching him. A mafia boss who didn't raise his voice-because names written in his diary were already dead. A man who only spoke when someone's fate needed sealing. So when he was drugged, blindfolded, and dragged into a warehouse one rainy night, he was almost amused. An enemy cartel? Betrayal from inside? A dramatic execution attempt? He was ready. Until he opened his eyes. Standing in front of him was not a hardened criminal... ...but a 19-year-old boy with soft cheeks, big innocent eyes, messy hair, and hands shaking while holding a gun that clearly terrified him more than the mafia boss ever could. The boss stared. Once. Twice. Then, for the first time in his life, a thought crossed his ruthless mind: "Masaallah." The boy introduced himself nervously, offered him water, apologized for the dirty chair, and asked if he was "too tightly tied" like this was a kidnapping Yelp review. The mafia boss-feared by nations, hunted by governments-fell in love instantly. Unfortunately for everyone: The kidnapper had no idea who he'd kidnapped The mafia boss had no idea how to talk to someone without threatening murder And the warehouse slowly turned into a battlefield of misunderstandings, accidental flirting, and the boss's men desperately trying to find their missing leader while he... ...didn't really want to be rescued anymore. A story where: The deadliest man alive becomes soft over a shy smile A "cute, innocent boy" turns out to be way more dangerous than he looks Romance blooms between guns, blood, and very awkward silence And the line between captor and captive blurs... slowly, painfully, irresistibly Dark. Dangerous. Slow burn. And completely chaotic.

    🏆 Top #SpyNovel, #HistoricalThriller, #ChineseHistory, #EastMeetsWest 🏆 Top 10 #Shanghai 🏆 Top 50 #HistoricalFiction, #1930s 🏆 Top 100 #China SHANGHAI, 1931. A CITY OF FALSE KINGS, LIVING ON BORROWED TIME. In the glittering, decadent heart of a city divided by foreign powers and Chinese gangsters, Hwang Gaa-Sheng is a ghost. To the world, he is Ho Gaa-Sheng, the impeccably dressed, silent manager of the Jade Qilin, a glamorous nightclub that serves as a sanctuary for exiles, artists, and spies. But in the shadows, he is the leader of a secret war, seeking to avenge his father's murder and protect his family from the forces poised to tear Shanghai apart. His quiet war is complicated by the arrival of Mimi Tsou, the beautiful, illegitimate daughter of his slain enemy. Rescued from a brothel and installed as the club's star singer, her voice becomes the soul of his fragile sanctuary, but her newfound fame attracts the most dangerous players in the city: a ruthless Kempeitai colonel, a cynical British spy, and a haunted Japanese journalist who will force her to question where her loyalties truly lie. As the years pass and the distant thunder of war grows into the deafening roar of the Japanese invasion, Sheng's secret war of whispers and ledgers explodes into a brutal, desperate battle for survival. The Jade Qilin becomes the last fortress of defiance in an occupied city, and its found family must make a final, tragic stand. From the jazz-soaked nights of the "Paris of the East" to the hell of the Shanghai front, The Jade Qilin is a sweeping, historical noir about the price of vengeance, the meaning of family, and the quiet, immortal victories that can only be won in the face of absolute defeat.

"Mujhe maarna manzoor hai, lekin haarna nahi. Kyunki haar manna, ahsan rasta hota hai. Aur ahsan rasta lena, meri fitraat nahi." ~Hamza Ali Mazari "Usse dekha aur bas. Bina soche samjhe, maine usse beintehaa pyaar kiya. Woh meri mashooq hai, isilye saza nahi de sakti, lekin use bewafa nahi banne dungi." ~Yalina Jamali "Mujhe aap ke saath waqkt betana hai. Bas, itni si baat nahi maan sakte?" Yalina said with a cute and childish pout. "Teek hai, lekin ek shaart. Mujse pyaar mat karna. Manzoor hai?"

Yalina said while looking into Hamza's eyes. She said like a fact. Written in stone.

    🏆 #1 for #HongKong 🏆 #4 for #Espionage 🏆 #6 for #China 🏆 #13 for #Spy 🏆 #17 for #Gangster Inspired by true events. In 1959 Hong Kong, a city divided by empire and ideology, Superintendent Victor Cheung stands at the fault line between two worlds. To the British Crown, he is the model colonial officer - loyal, brilliant, indispensable. To the Communist Party, he is Comrade Zhang, their most deeply embedded mole in the colonial system. Across the harbour, his blood brother Leonard Ho has become a rising power within the 14K Triad - the Kuomintang's secret weapon in its underground war against Beijing. Between them stands Lily Shao, a film star and humanitarian who still believes Hong Kong can remain untouched by politics. When a Mainland scientist disappears en route to the West, the city becomes a chessboard where every move carries mortal risk. As Victor and Leo hunt for the same man on opposite sides of the ideological divide, Lily is drawn into their struggle, forced to choose between loyalty, conscience, and survival. As betrayals multiply, the line between service and faith blurs. The final reckoning unfolds on the Lo Wu Bridge - the threshold between Hong Kong and China - where Victor must decide which nation, and which self, he can live or die for. Rooted in historical truth and inspired by the real-life career of the first Chinese head of the Hong Kong CID, No Harbour for Ghosts exposes the moral cost of divided allegiance. It is a spy story stripped of glamour - a tragedy of men who serve two masters and find no harbour in either.

    Ruh-e-Ulfat (رُوحِــالفت) - The Soul of Love Before the storms, before the battles and broken streets, there was a love that burned quietly, beautifully, and fiercely. Rehman and Ulfat met in a world full of chaos, yet somehow, their hearts found each other amidst the noise. The first glances, the shy smiles, the stolen moments - each one building a bond stronger than words could capture. Their early marriage was a dance of laughter and quiet understanding, of whispered promises in the night and gentle reassurances by day. Every argument ended with tenderness, every disagreement with patience, because love - raw, real, and untested - had a way of filling every crack. This is Ruh-e-Ulfat: a story of beginnings, of hearts entwined, of moments before the world demanded sacrifices, and of a love so alive it could conquer even the shadows yet to come.
