Khushi Kumari Gupta believes in love, laughter, and happily-ever-afters. Arnav Singh Raizada believes in control, logic, and keeping his heart locked where no one can reach it. Their worlds were never meant to collide- until one unexpected encounter in Lucknow ties their fates together in a way neither of them can undo. He is the storm she never saw coming. She is the warmth he swears he doesn't need. But every time they cross paths, something pulls tighter... sharper... impossible to ignore. In a journey where hate blends with longing and pride battles against desire, one thing becomes clear: Some hearts don't fall in love. They get knotted.

The story opens with Mara Ellison, a renowned crisis negotiator whose calm exterior masks an internal unraveling she refuses to name. She is dependable to a fault-anchoring everyone around her, even as she quietly struggles with burnout and unspoken doubts in her relationship with Lydia, her long-term partner. One night, Mara receives a frantic, half-coded voicemail from Rowan Hale, her childhood best friend who vanished months earlier while working on a controversial expose. He arrives at her apartment bloodied, paranoid, and clutching a hard drive he refuses to open yet. He insists that someone has been following him since he uncovered something "no one was supposed to see." Meanwhile, Lydia Chen, a brilliant surgeon who copes by compartmentalizing everything, encounters an ER patient whose neurological symptoms don't match anything known. Hospital administrators shut down her questions with unusual speed. Lydia senses she's being watched-and that Rowan's return is not a coincidence. Cassie Ellison, Mara's younger sister, is newly sober and trying to rebuild her life. She attempts to reconnect with Mara, but the appearance of Rowan-whom she secretly admires and resents-stirs her insecurity and suspicion. Still, Cassie notices details others miss: Rowan's erratic memory gaps, tremors, and flashes of aggression. The story's external antagonist emerges when Elias Ford, a revered tech magnate and philanthropist, is introduced. Publicly, he is charismatic and visionary. Privately, his corporation-Ford Dynamics-has begun quietly influencing hospitals, research labs, and media outlets. Rowan eventually trusts Mara enough to reveal the truth: He'd been investigating Ford's secret neurological research program, codenamed ONNIX, rumored to involve illegal cognitive experimentation. His footage is missing, his contacts have disappeared, and the hard drive is encrypted. He fears Ford wants him silenced.

At thirteen, Ayaan fell in love with a girl at his sister's wedding-a girl with black eyes and an emotionless heart who would haunt him for five years. Sana was everything: cunning, mature beyond her years, and completely indifferent to him. Through Instagram messages and awkward video calls, Ayaan poured out his heart-but the words never came out right. Every rejection made him angrier. Every 'you're like a brother' cut deeper. And when she finally said yes, it was only because her real choice had failed. Fighting anger issues, crippling communication problems, and a faith slowly slipping away, Ayaan learns the hardest lesson of all: you cannot make someone love you, no matter how perfectly you craft the message. A raw, honest story about South Indian Muslim youth navigating love, family expectations, mental health, and the devastating cost of loving someone who was never yours to love.

*SINHALA* What if everything you believe about the world is only the surface? Mehga Blackwood feels it like a faint tug at the edge of his mind, a secret waiting to be uncovered. There are doors no one else sees, whispers that brush past like shadows, and a quiet magic that lingers just out of reach. He's drawn deeper, pulled by questions that won't let go, by mysteries hidden in plain sight. What truths lie beneath the everyday? What worlds hide behind closed doors? If you listen closely, you might just hear the story beginning...

Four enemies. One arranged marriage. And a world that doesn't care who survives. Heeseung, Sunghoon, and Jay are vampires-skilled, dangerous, and deadly. Jaeyun is a half-demon, half-vampire, trained as an undercover agent and skilled in ways none of the others suspect. Their parents are allies, friends, and now-insistent matchmakers. Hate runs deep between them, but duty runs deeper. Forced into a union none of them wanted, they must navigate their complicated pasts, secret lives in the shadows of mafia dealings and undercover missions, and a human world that has long since forgotten fear. In a world where survival is a daily battle, can sworn enemies find common ground-or will their forced bond ignite a war that even they cannot survive? Blood will be spilled. Secrets will be revealed. And love... might just be the most dangerous mission of all.

What if you were his friend before the incident? When he moved there? What if you stuck by his side since they day he got there? This story is an AU of mine, so jeff's personality and story might be different than the og instead of him being the older sibling he's the younger sibling. He's 14 and Liu is 15 and reader you are 13(Jeff's age in the og) It's not too different from the og story but different in some things like how the events leading up to Jeff becoming a killer will take longer to get to that part.

"She believed in silence. He lived in it." A story of silence, connection, and the kind of love that doesn't need loud declarations - just two hearts that listen.

Marie wasn't expecting anything special that day. Certainly not a boy with dimples, kind eyes, and a nickname her heart gave him instantly Mr. Cutie. She didn't know one conversation could change her life, or that one boy could make her feel seen in ways she had never felt before.

List it all!
