A girl in Delhi has a brilliant mind and secrets darker than the nights that won't let her eyes close.
She lives in the Labyrinth, a place that always seems dim, even in the middle of the day. There, customers flock in their dozens, and there, the girl is exploited for profit in unthinkable, irreversible ways. Her traffickers change her name regularly to throw off authorities, and survival seems only a flicker in the pool of murky water she must bathe in each morning.
Though she has known little more than this life of poverty and forced prostitution, when she meets an elderly woman named Ucchal, everything could change. Ucchal works for an anti-trafficking unit, and her questions lead the girl to question herself and her surroundings. If there is a path to freedom, how dangerous is that path, and what hopeful or harrowing discoveries wait at the end?

Durga - A Spirit Unbroken
At eighteen, she was betrayed by the very people who should have protected her sold into a house where women are stripped of their will and forced to serve under the cruel mask of survival. What followed was years of torment, beatings, humiliation, and the slow erasure of her voice. She did not live; she endured. But endurance can only last so long. Behind every forced smile, every silenced scream, she nurtures a single truth: she will not die within those walls. Her escape is not a dream it is a promise she makes to herself every night. Yet freedom is never simple. When her path collides with a man whose past is as fractured as her own, a new struggle begins. He is pulled toward her shadow without understanding why, but she scarred by betrayal and bound by fear cannot bring herself to believe in the tenderness she has longed for all her life. Caught between her past that still claws at her, a present that cages her, and an uncertain future that tempts her. She faces questions that cut deeper than chains: Will she find a way to break free? Will she allow herself to trust what her heart has always craved? Or will the house of shadows tighten its grip, binding her forever? Some stories aren't about survival alone. They're about what a soul dares to dream, even in the darkest prison. This is my first story.

Secrets of the mute
⚠️‼️READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS‼️⚠️ Kalani has mastered the art of silence - not by choice, but by survival. Selectively mute and carrying a past too broken to name, she's spent her life shielding her secrets behind wide eyes and trembling hands. After the brutal loss of her mother and years under the control of a relative whose name still haunts her, Kalani and her twin brother, Kaleb, have only ever had each other. Then the police find them. But instead of being sent into foster care - something that, strangely, never happened despite years of instability - they're told someone is coming to collect them. A man they've never met. A white man. He claims to be family. He says he's their legal guardian. And without warning, they're thrown into a cold, unfamiliar world of sharp suits, marble hallways, and older half-brothers who seem more like shadows than siblings. A world of wealth, power, and secrets that run deeper than blood. As Kalani tries to navigate this new life - where silence is no longer safe, and the past feels anything but gone - she begins to uncover the truth behind her family, her father, and a legacy far more dangerous than she ever imagined. Some bonds are forged in love. Others in pain. And some? Some are written in blood. They thought they were escaping their past. But what if it just changed its face? Read 'SECRETS OF THE MUTE' and find out the story of Kalani.

Love Woven Between Business Deals & Lesson Plans
In a bustling city where boardroom deals sealed empires and chalk dust whispered through quiet classrooms, two lives as different as night and day were bound together by a single agreement. Vidur Rathore, a sharp, stoic CEO with a relentless drive for perfection, had built his life around control, logic, and business plans. Prachita Sharma, a warm-hearted primary school teacher, believed in the power of patience, stories, and slow, quiet growth. They had little in common-except the decision their families had made for them. What began as a formal, arranged marriage was supposed to be simple: mutual respect, shared space, and a dignified distance. But hearts, unlike companies or classrooms, refuse to follow lesson plans or business models. Between clashing schedules, awkward dinners, and silent car rides, something began to shift. A look lingered too long. A small gesture softened the silence. Conversations that they never expected. And the walls between them began to crack. This is a story of two people who never chose each other-but found themselves anyway. A journey of misunderstandings, unexpected tenderness, laughter, heartbreak, and rediscovery. Of how a man obsessed with control met a woman who thrived on chaos, and how-somewhere between morning alarms and midnight confessions-they found a love that neither of them planned for, but both grew to fight for. Because sometimes, the most beautiful love stories aren't the ones we chase... but the ones that quietly unfold when we least expect them.
