Love Where You Shouldn't Find It
A Trinidadian girl goes missing, but it's nothing new in town. As we go through the trials of survival with young Hope we'll find out the way she found love In a society where crime is a norm, we tend to forget how unfortunate and traumatic it actually is for the simple fact that "it wasn't me"; too easily do we slip over a murder, missing person etc. This short story was designed for reader to feel like they are in the unfortunate event to hopefully bring some more awareness to the unsettling amount of crime and violence in my little home Trinidad and Tobago, the Caribbean and to an extension the world. For my first short story I used the name Hope, it is a play on words as that is literally what I am using the character for, to gain "hope" for better, for safety; I wish that readers enjoy the book in the way it was designed. ⚠️TW⚠️ •Rape •Kidnapping •Blood •Death •Depression •Domestic abuse ^^^ ⚠️TW⚠️^^^ will be placed at the beginning of any chapter where a trigger is observed.

A Love Carved In Time
A RadhaKrishn Retelling We are all familiar with the five thousand-year-old love story of the greatest lovers of the ages, RadhaKrishna. This is my take on what would be their story like in today's world. ~ Radha has witnessed her fair share of loss throughout her life. Her once big happy family has been reduced to a small one which has been ruined by grief and loss and while she has managed to remain her happy self, she yearns for something her family might have forgotten to express to her, love. Now someone has appeared in her life seemingly out of nowhere. He's there at every turn of her life, and suddenly she can't escape him. Each interaction leaves her more and more confused and annoyed. He feels too familiar to be a stranger, yet too strange to be understood by her. While his presence hints at a connection so deeply entwined, her practical mind rejects all possible explanations. Watch this sweet love story unfold, peek inside to witness this retelling of the greatest love saga. ~DISCLAIMER~ This story is loosely based on the Star Bharat show Radhakrishn, but I would change most of it to fit my setting. I am writing this because of my love for them and I would appreciate it if you forgive any mistakes or inaccuracies in the story. Hate will not be appreciated or tolerated. (first 6 chapters are to be edited, please excuse the horrible writing and read past them for highly improved writing skills)
𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒔𝒆𝒔 (✓)
(not edited) This is the book I never even admired. It was more like a journal for me-just ranting and never meant to be published. I only uploaded it so that my friend could read it, and I never imagined people would actually love it. So, it's nothing like Whispered Vows-that's the book I poured my heart and soul into, dedicating 5-6 months completely. So please, don't judge me by this book 😂!! It was written when I was a teen and remained just a draft for almost a year from 2022 to 2024. Happy Reading ✨ (SHORT STORY) #𝑾𝒉𝒊𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔 1 ~𝑨𝒃𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒂𝒂𝒏 𝑺𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒉 𝑺𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒅𝒊𝒂 -19 - 30 age (at the start of the story) -6'2 height -sunshine ~𝑲𝒂𝒗𝒚𝒂 𝑹𝒂𝒋𝒗𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒉 -18-29 age - 5'2 height -ambivert . .

The Unspoken Vows
This story revolves around Arjun who is pressured by his family and political advisors to get married to improve his public image. A girl Meera, from a modest background, is chosen because of her 'simple' reputation, believed to be the perfect quiet political wife. Neither of them is thrilled, but both agree for their families sake. The wedding is grand but devoid of emotion. But love has a way of creeping in, even in the coldest places. As they navigate a life built on unspoken expectations, they find themselves caught in a storm of high emotions. Meera, who was meant to be a shadow, refuses to disappear. Arjun, who was never meant to care, finds himself drawn to the fire in her eyes. Together, they endure the relentless storms of politics, personal battles, and the pain of a love that neither of them dares to name. There are no grand confessions, no promises spoken aloud. But in the spaces between anger and understanding, between distance and longing, something fragile yet unbreakable begins to grow. This is not a love story of easy romance-it is a love forged in suffering, in resilience, in the quiet strength of standing beside each other through every heartbreak. It is a story of unsaid words, of love that is felt rather than spoken. It is the story of their unspoken vows.

Behold Till Eternity
𝐇𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐬. Love is hope for the hopeless and sin for the saint. Love is both a salvation for the lost and a temptation for the righteous. It drives people to cross lines they swore never to. But when two souls intertwine, promising to hold each other till eternity, love becomes something far more profound-both a sin and a salvation. - Happy Ending -
