She Belongs To Me by Rasiya_isqh

Rahul singhania was one of the richest men in india. If not the richest one. He was known for being somebody, who's not holding back, when it comes to something he likes and wants. He simply buys it. In his world everything and everybody had a price. One, he most likely could afford. Of course it was always more fun, not to get something at once. A man needs a challenge now and then. For all that, there was one thing, he wasn't able to experience until this day. Because despite what his business partners and enemies may think of him, despite the cruelty he shows to make. His point is clear, should somebody be stupid enough to mess with him, or worse, betray him - he still had his own lines, which are not to be crossed. But then, one day, somebody barged into his life, challenged him, laughed on to his face, taunted the beast inside him with her angelic sight, yet blood-thirsty soul. And Rahul knew the time had come to finally enjoy his darkest desires to the fullest by making her his prize. ••••••••••• This is just an intro. The show inside the book.

The Bewildered Tale by thesmwrites

We think of our future, we plan for our future but do we ever glance carefully at our past. Not the past that we witnessed, the past which occurred many years ago before we were born. Have anyone ever thought that the incidents which occur today if those happened in that era how would the people tackle them? We read about Indian history, sometimes those seem to be boring but we can never deny that India had a glorious past. Starting from the planning of a city to how systematically everyone lived people of that period had an aesthetic life. STORY DESCRIPTION : My story revolves around the past of India during the reign of the Maurya Dynasty. It starts with a murder mystery that ends up opening many unexplored paths. It shows how intelligent people of that era were, how mind-blowing architectural works were done, it provokes the reader to know more about our history and also makes us feel proud. This story is a work of fiction so the events which are written are just works of my imagination. The mystery and the curiosity to know how and what happens next keeps the readers engrossed. All the characters of the story have important roles. This story blends past with modern times making it more interesting to read how the characters reach the end without using modern technologies. I hope the story engages my readers and the thrill continues till the end. Word Count : 50,000+

|<>| "You and I are used to dealing with mysteries that live on the page." "There are no bad guys. There are just complicated people who did bad things." "I've got enough crime fact in my life. I don't need to read about it." |<>| When crime fiction and MONK nut Alex Walker stumbles upon a missing persons case on her college campus, she is determined to prove to the police department in her small hometown of Brenker, Washington that her discoveries are legitimate. She will do whatever it takes to persuade them, including finding the victim she knows is in danger. Enter Tyler Burns - the mysterious new detective intern with no knowledge of the world that Alex and her companions live in - the world of fictional mystery. He is tall dark and handsome, but with that order comes a side of stubborn, doubtful, and inquisitive. When their worlds collide, the two are forced together to find their vanished victim, but who knows how complicated that will get. But the real question is not whether the victim is found, nor how Alex and Tyler will manage to find them without getting killed - or killing each other. The real question, the only one that matters, the one that has fueled crime fiction - one of the most successful genres in history - is really quite simple. Whodunnit? |<>|
