"Time flies by the blink of the eye, leaving you dumbstruck. And, for others? It takes less than a few minutes to read your past like a book."
Aaryahi is a shy and timid girl of 20, her standoff-ish persona leaving her with very few friends in college; people who mean the world to her. However, everything changes when Yakshit, an 'eager-to-do-anything-to-fulfill-my-curiousity' male, joins her college in the very department she majors in. His curiousity wants him to dig into Aaryahi's whereabouts. But, will it work?
To make things worse, the recent news flashing from different parts of India has everyone's hackles arise. The police, as usual, can't seem to find the pattern of the killings, except one word, four letters bound on one string...KAAL. Just as the lazy Indian officers were to rule it as an accident or suicide, they find the Kaal's charm locket on every victim's neck. Is it the way he marks his preys? If so, why in such a public manner?
Yakshit is an undercover officer who is deep into the 'trusting your instincts' game and deeply believes his instincts never lie. At least, they haven't so far. Deciding to go out on a limb, Yakshit rejoins the College in Kolkata because he has a feeling, or is rather confident, that Kaal will soon go hunting for his next prey there. But then, a certain someone catches his eye. He can't get over the feeling that there's something fishy about Aaryahi and he needs to uncover it before it's too late.
Is it the chemistry that draws Yakshit and Aaryahi together, or is it something far more sinister? And then lies the biggest question. Who is Kaal?

Secret of Obsession
Hlo my dear readers 💗✨ "Secret of Obsession" Aarohi Singhania's life was built on power, wealth, and lies. After the mysterious death of her father-one of India's most influential men-she is thrust into a world far darker than she ever imagined. Determined to uncover the truth behind his death, she moves to Europe, where secrets linger in the shadows and danger waits at every turn. But the answers she seeks come with a price-and a man who is as ruthless as he is irresistible. Harshit Rathore is a name that strikes fear into even the most powerful. Cold, calculating, and dangerously possessive, he rules his empire with an iron fist. When Aarohi's search for the truth crosses into his world, he knows she's in over her head. But saving her isn't an act of kindness-it's an obsession. An obsession that threatens to consume them both. From their first encounter, the tension between them is electric-an undeniable pull that neither can resist. He's everything she should fear, and she's everything he shouldn't want. But in a world where loyalty is fragile, and enemies lurk in every shadow, their desire quickly turns into something darker... and far more dangerous. As Aarohi delves deeper into her father's secrets, she realizes Harshit knows more than he's willing to reveal. With her life hanging by a thread and a deadly rival threatening to tear them apart, she has no choice but to trust the one man who could destroy her. But in a game where power is everything, is love even possible-or will their obsession burn them both to the ground? When secrets become weapons, and passion turns to possession-how far will they go before it's too late? (It's a 18+ content) ---Complete

There Will Be Vengeance
Surya, no matter what happens, never fight on any day except Saturday. Those were his mother's last words before she vanished. For years, Surya obeyed, never questioning why. Every Saturday, he felt something different-his body burned with an almost supernatural rage, his senses heightened, his mind sharper. He used it to fight injustice, to become a ghost that haunted corrupt men. But the real horror began when he broke the rule. One Wednesday night, Surya lost control and struck a man in anger. And in that instant-the world shattered. The street flickered like a glitching video. People froze mid-motion, their faces warping. He felt something inside him... slip. And when he woke up the next morning-it was Saturday again. Only, something was wrong. The city looked off-buildings slightly misplaced, graffiti in languages he didn't recognize. His mother's face in photographs had changed. People he once saved no longer remembered him. Inspector R. Dayanand, the city's most feared cop, was staring at him like they had met before-like he was waiting for this. "You broke the cycle, didn't you?" Dayanand whispers. "Now, let's see how deep your madness runs." Surya's mind is fracturing. Every time he fights on the wrong day, the world resets, but slightly altered-like reality itself is being rewritten. The worst part? He is not the first Surya. There have been others. Versions of himself who made the same mistake. Who tried to uncover the truth. And they all ended the same way-dead, their bodies erased from history. Now, Surya must race against time, unraveling the hidden design of his existence before reality warps beyond repair. Because if he fights on the wrong day one more time... He may wake up as someone else. Or worse-never wake up at all.
