At fifteen... she was light. Niharika Rathore was the kind of girl who made rooms softer just by entering them. A sunshine soul wrapped in innocence. She laughed too easily, trusted too quickly, and loved her mother more than anything in the world. Her eyes-almond-shaped, deep, observant-held warmth. Her smile could melt silence. Chubby cheeks like cotton candy... a face everyone remembered. But some stories don't stay soft. Because in one night... everything changed. The man her mother trusted... the man who was supposed to become her stepfather... became the reason her world cracked open. Nothing loud. Nothing spoken. Just a line crossed that should have never been crossed. And after that night... Niharika was never the same. --- At seventeen... she is still alive. But the sunshine is gone. Her smile doesn't reach her eyes anymore. Her gaze avoids people, like the world itself became unsafe. Quiet. Careful. Guarded. She no longer trusts light. She only trusts shadows. Then fate turns again. Her mother slips into a coma. And suddenly... there is no place left for her. A maternal grandfather she barely knows sends her away-far from everything she called home. But before she can leave... another truth arrives like a storm. A father she never truly knew. A name whispered in fear. A mafia king. And he wants her back. Not as a guest. Not as a choice. As his daughter. --- But Niharika has already learned one thing the hard way: Men break things. Even the ones who are supposed to protect you. Now she is taken into a world she never imagined- A house filled with power... silence... and eight brothers who see her as an outsider. No women. No softness. No familiarity. Only rules. Distance. Watchful eyes. And a girl who is terrified of men... being forced to live surrounded by them.

Meeting him was like relapse all over again...but this hurt a million times worse.

She's got secrets of her own and unlike Chase's, hers might not give her the luxury of time to figure any of this out. Beverly just has to decide how much of herself she's willing to hand over to a boy who was never supposed to be part of the plan ofcourse, before the plan runs out. **This is not a werewolf story or even paranormal one.

But what happens when her plan goes wrong because of a little mistake and now she has to move in with her brothers. Will they discourage or help her when they find out the truth? Will she be able to trust them or is she going to leave the second she turns 18? Lost friends reunite, people you only saw as allies become friends and a mysterious someone reappears out of nowhere.

A philosophy book made by yours truly

Ky libër nuk është thjesht një histori dashurie. Është rrëfimi i një vajze që u dashurua thellë... u besua shumë... u thye ngadalë... dhe u rrit mes dhimbjes që askush nuk e pa. Nga mosha 17 deri 18, ajo jetoi një dashuri që nuk kishte zë, nuk kishte takime, por kishte ndjenja që e mbajtën gjallë dhe njëkohësisht e shkatërruan brenda. Është histori për pritje të gjata, për fjalë të pathëna, për besim që u lëkund, për njerëz që nuk qëndruan, dhe për një zemër që mësoi të mbijetojë edhe kur gjithçka u duk e humbur. Ky libër nuk kërkon vetëm të lexohet. Kërkon të ndihet. Dhe ndoshta... dikush do e gjejë veten në çdo faqe.

One minute, Clara was walking home. The next, she was gone. Kidnapped off the street by three strangers-Ezra, Silas, and Lucian-she wakes up in a mansion too perfect to be real. Every room is tailored to her. Every meal, every hobby, every word-they knew everything. And now they expect her to play along in their twisted version of a family. They wanted her. To them, Clara is the missing piece. The daughter they've been waiting for. The one they've been preparing for. Every room is made for her. Every rule is meant to shape her. And every smile hides something sick. Ezra. Calm, calculating, always three steps ahead. No matter how careful Clara is, he sees through her. Every lie. Every escape attempt. Every flicker of rebellion. Silas is distant and cold, but dangerous in his silence. Silas keeps his distance-but when he looks at her, it's like he sees straight through. And Lucian... Lucian's the gentle one.The one who brings her hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and brushes her hair. The one who says this is all for her own good. Lucian is soft-spoken and kind... almost like he wants her to believe this could be real. But it isn't. They don't want her freedom. They want her obedience. Her love. Her role. They call it family. She calls it a nightmare. But if Clara wants to survive, she might have to play along. Even if it means pretending to love her captors. _________________________________________ Author's Note: This is a story I've been wanting to post and now I've finally done it.

[boyxboy] Jude and Ashton grew up bound by loss, finding solace in each other at an orphanage where loneliness was their only companion. Ashton, warm and determined, broke through Jude's walls, forging a bond that neither time nor distance could erase. Adopted into the same town but living vastly different lives. Once childhood friends, they drifted apart as life pulled them in opposite directions.

THE SURGEON OF LOVE AND THE HEART - Description This is the story of Peter, a young man shaped by a childhood spent in an orphanage, where he learned too early what it means to be forgotten. At the age of 11, he experiences his first deep emotional bond with another boy from the orphanage. For the first time in his life, Peter feels seen, valued, and loved. But this fragile happiness is brutally taken away when the boy is adopted by a wealthy family and disappears from his life without looking back. That abandonment becomes the defining wound of Peter's existence. As he grows older, this pain turns into anger, self-destruction, and emotional isolation. By the age of 14, Peter has become a troubled teenager, labeled as a "problem child" rather than a boy who is hurting. After a tragic event and a serious accident, he ends up in the hospital, physically injured but emotionally shattered. There, he meets John, a young medical trainee. Unlike everyone else in Peter's life, John does not judge him, reject him, or abandon him. He stays. He listens. He returns, again and again. Slowly, a fragile connection begins to form between them. A bond built on fear, resistance, and emotional dependence, but also on trust and quiet attachment. John becomes the first person willing to face Peter's pain instead of running away from it. The story explores emotional healing, abandonment trauma, and the struggle to learn how to love when you have spent your entire life being left behind. The title The Surgeon of Love and the Heart symbolizes John as someone who "repairs" a broken heart-not with medicine, but with presence, patience, and consistency. It is a story about invisible wounds, and the possibility of healing even when someone believes they are beyond repair.
