REJECTION - Anthology Rejection wears many faces. Sometimes it comes as a "No." Sometimes as silence, a letter, a stamp, a closed door-or simply the feeling of not being chosen. From love and marriage to careers, dreams, family, parenthood, and self-worth, REJECTION explores the many ways rejection enters our lives. The exclamation marks capture the shock, disbelief, anger, and emotions that follow an unexpected "No!" And then comes the question mark. Why? Why me? Why not me? Why now? And most importantly-what happens next? Through a collection of intimate and thought-provoking scenes, this anthology explores what happens when life closes a door-and the questions, choices, and possibilities that remain beyond it. Because every rejection leaves a question behind. ❤️‍🔥 Anthology by Piku GYUN 🎗️HIGHEST RANKINGS: 🎖️#1 lifeexperiences (9th September 2026) 🎖️#1 humanemotions (9th September 2026)

Ever wondered what a story would look like if there was no male lead? Yes you heard me right- no male lead. Only a female lead. Welcome to The girl in colour series where books tell three generational women, their dominance, their struggles, their choices, and their resilience to give up. The Girl in Red - Meet Swati, a girl married at the age of fourteen in the 1970s. An era where women were taught to lower their eyes, lower their voices, and simply accept what life handed them. But Swati? When she had enough, she didn't just raise her eyes and make eye contact. She fought back. This isn't a rom-com. It isn't a beautiful, dreamy love story. If you're looking for butterflies and happily-ever-afters, this ain't for you. But if you're looking for a story that makes you feel the world through the eyes of a woman who refuses to disappear inside it.

In village, tradition isn't always tradition. Sometimes, it's an excuse for cruelty. Seventeen-year-old Jeon Jungkook has spent his entire life learning one simple rule: You don't question the village. Except Jungkook used to. He spoke when something was wrong. He stood up for people who couldn't stand up for themselves. He questioned the traditions everyone else blindly accepted. Until one day, he learned what happens when you refuse to stay silent. After that, Jungkook stopped fighting. Not because he stopped caring. Because sometimes, when things hurt for too long, you simply become numb. So when his family decides that he will marry a man old enough to be his grandfather, Jungkook doesn't fight back, he couldn't. There is nothing he can do. Or at least, that's what everyone tells him. Until Kim Taehyung sees what is happening. Twenty-one, stubborn, and unwilling to accept the way Jungkook is being treated, Taehyung makes a decision that changes both their lives. But saving Jungkook from one nightmare doesn't mean everything suddenly becomes easy. Because marriage is only the beginning. As Taehyung slowly introduces Jungkook to a world beyond the life he has always known-education, friendship, freedom, and choices-Jungkook begins to discover something he had almost forgotten: He is allowed to have a life of his own. And perhaps, this time, someone will stay long enough to show him that kindness doesn't always come with a price. Note: There will be no core intimacy between taekook ,except hugs or head pecks, until kook turns 21 that too with both of theirs consent. #boy×boy(no femboy concept) (both are having male parts) #No smut #Happy ending #socialissues #awareness #charactergrowth #slowburn #nonexplicit #clean Petals, this is my first book and English is not my first language.

Was it the right choice.. to exist? Will He regret it? or Will He be grateful? But if He didn't exist, He wouldn't even know what 'choice' is.. He wouldn't feel regret nor knowing the feeling of gratefulness.. there wouldn't be Him either.. Did He choose existence? Or Did existence choose Him? Why does He know things He should not? Why do some people see nothing reflected in His eyes? Found by a small church on a stormy night, the nameless boy begins His journey through a world of kingdoms, faith, myth, and hidden mystery while searching for the truth of His own existence. Because buried beneath His human form lies a mystery older than memory itself. And the deeper He searches for who He was... the more terrifying the answer becomes.. After all.. the greatest question is not who He was. It is what He is.

[ON HOLD 'TIL I FINISH RESEARCH ON STAND-UP COMEDIANS] ''What do you want to be when you grow up?'' Jaq hated this question with a passion. Not because she wasn't good at anything. Quite the opposite. She was annoyingly good at picking up skills with enough YouTube tutorials, spite, and free time. She just couldn't pick and stick to a freaking lane. Join Jaq as she navigates career disasters, family drama, sexuality confusion, and the increasingly ridiculous pressure to "find her calling." Because apparently, being good at everything except knowing what the hell you're doing with your life isn't a valid career path.

Between Desire & Duty🔴🔱 Her Desire. Her Rules. In a society where a woman is taught to be modest, obedient, and accommodating, Avni Khatri has always been expected to know her place. But Avni has a secret society doesn't want women to admit- She has desires of her own. At twenty-eight, Avni enters an arranged marriage with Colonel Rajveer Shekhawat, a disciplined thirty-two-year-old military officer admired for his strength, honor, and self-control. Everyone believes they are the perfect match. They couldn't be more wrong. Rajveer is inexperienced when it comes to intimacy, while Avni is far more confident about what she wants from marriage. She refuses to pretend that a wife's needs don't matter. She wants affection, communication, passion, and a husband who can understand her beyond the expectations placed upon him. But Rajveer's pride, military discipline, and deeply rooted ideas about marriage collide with Avni's unapologetic nature. Soon, their bedroom becomes the place where they confront everything neither of them was prepared to discuss-desire, insecurity, vulnerability, expectations, and the uncomfortable truth that sexual compatibility can affect an entire marriage. And outside their home waits an even bigger battle. Family. Tradition. Society. The endless question: "What will people say?" Avni refuses to let shame dictate what a married woman is allowed to want. Rajveer must decide whether he will protect the image everyone expects of him-or finally understand the woman he married. Because sometimes the hardest battle isn't fought on a battlefield. It's fought between desire and duty.

An eighteen-year-old black man who works on the property of a powerful dukedom-House Virelith-must navigate the world that favors the white man through pragmatism and survival while also fighting temptation.

Shes was a nerd. Spent most of her time in her dorm, in class or at the library. He was a track athlete. He didn't care for parties but somehow always ended up at one. "We only meet at night"

Mohona was the golden girl. A great job in the US. A startup on the verge of a breakthrough. A man she loved and was ready to marry. Until one morning, eight months ago, her inbox buzzed with a pornographic link. She thought the internet was too vast for anyone to remember one sextape. She thought the secret she and her parents had buried would stay hidden from her newly wed husband. She was wrong. Now married to Shashwat Thakur, a Grade A Government Engineer, Mohona follows him to his latest posting deep inside the Malang Forest. He expects a quiet assignment and a fresh start. She expects nothing from a husband who still struggles to trust her. Instead, they find a village surrounded by suspicion, a community treated as dangerous outsiders, and a series of strange incidents nobody seems willing to investigate properly. Birds begin disappearing. Ancient trees start dying. Threats turn into attacks. The deeper Mohona looks, the more she realises that the people she was warned about may not be the ones she should fear. And as Shashwat joins her in uncovering the truth, the distance between them begins to change in ways neither of them expected. A troubled marriage. A hidden past. A dangerous investigation. And a forest full of people who have their own reasons to keep their guards up. ------- Disclaimer/Tropes/Themes * Mature themes * Romance * Nature and forest * Slow burn * Digital crime and leaked sextape * Mystery

The Underground Series Book 1: Missing Piece: The Underground Code

HIS MOLKI BRIDE She had never seen him. He had never seen her. Yet, their wedding was already fixed. In a village where some girls are not married... They are bought. Kalyani Kumari never imagined that one day her own name would come with a price- ₹20,00,000. She doesn't know who her groom is. She doesn't know how old he is. She doesn't even know what kind of life awaits her behind the doors of the Chowdhury Haveli. Vikram Chowdhury, a forty-year-old widower, has spent eighteen years refusing to let another woman take his dead wife's place. He never wanted a second marriage. She never wanted to become a Molki bride. Two strangers. One forced marriage. And a tradition cruel enough to turn a girl into a price tag. But what happens when the bride he never wanted... becomes the one person he can never ignore? Some marriages are written by love. Theirs was written by money. ⚠️ CONTENT WARNING ⚠️ Molki refers to a harmful bride-buying practice reported in some parts of India, where women from economically vulnerable families may be married off in exchange for money. In this story, the Molki tradition is portrayed as a sensitive social issue involving poverty, exploitation and lack of choice. It is not being glorified or presented as a normal or acceptable marriage practice. This is an 18+ mature story containing a huge age gap, Molki tradition, forced marriage, sensitive social themes, emotional trauma, possessiveness, marital conflicts, Hindi smut, and mature intimacy. Vikram is an older husband with a much younger wife, so the story may explore temptation, impatience, complicated emotions and intimate situations within their marriage. If you're uncomfortable with these themes, please don't read. You may try my other stories instead. ❤️ Read only if you're comfortable with mature and sensitive content. This is a work of fiction and does not glorify or justify harmful traditions.
