***
When a man with a dark past and wounded visage to match arrives in the small town of Glendale, it sets the once peaceful place on edge. No one knows how he came to look like he did, and no one dares to get close to find out.
All except for one widow, who will discover that their lives are more entwined than either of them ever thought possible.

Rohan thought escaping to IIM Ahmedabad would erase his past - the love he lost, the family who abandoned him, and the guilt he can't shake. He builds walls around himself, determined to start over, until Aarav crashes into his life like a storm he never saw coming.

OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why. This is not a story about perfect love. It's about healing through pain, about love that blooms after trauma, and about the fragile line between salvation and obsession. She is a woman rebuilding herself from the ashes. Not strong - simply real. A mother. A fighter. A writer whose words cut deeper than truth itself. She doesn't want to be someone's muse - she only wants to be understood. He is the man the world worships... and fears. A legend. A symbol of an era. But behind the fame, there's a man haunted by his own darkness. Together, they are fire and gasoline - two broken souls learning how to love without losing themselves. Their story isn't a fairytale. It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Complete

She wakes up in a stranger's bed, a diamond ring glimmering on her finger - a symbol of promises she cannot remember - a vow forged in a past that's been stolen from her. Everyone says she's fortunate. That she's blessed. That a beautiful home, a devoted fiancé, and a spotless future await her. But when her pulse falters under his gentle touch... when her skin shivers instead of warming - something deep within resonates with the alarming feeling that something is profoundly, dangerously wrong. He insists it's for her own safety - that something awful happened, that healing simply takes time - but there's a fire in his eyes, a possessiveness he cannot mask. And somewhere in her mind, a locked box rattles against its chains. And at night, in the quiet... she dreams of another man she does not recognize. Until one day he steps out of the shadows. Not with flowers, but with fire, with danger, with a confession forged in the pure agony of a love forgotten. Not with comfort, but with a storm in his eyes and a voice that trembles when he says- "You promised to remember me," he whispers. "Even if the whole world made you forget." He is not kind. He is not patient. His love is wild - a consuming force - a sin that feels more elemental than redemption. The moment he reaches for her, the carefully woven lie starts to unravel, thread by thread, until the awful, beautiful truth emerges. She doesn't know his name. But her soul does. Now, stranded between two men - the man who offers refuge within a perfect illusion and the man who holds the key to a catastrophic reality - she must make a choice. To stay safely oblivious... or to break free and remember the life that was stolen from her. Because someone made sure she forgot. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep it that way. Some truths are dangerous - and some memories are worth everything.Complete
The Obsessive Hearts | 18+
She wasn't supposed to want him but in her world, resistance turned out to be a luxury seemingly difficult to afford, even for her. Ritika Sharma doesn't do obsession. She does control, precision, the kind of ambition that leaves no room for anything soft. He was supposed to be just a name in a newspaper. A face on a screen. A passing fascination she could put aside and forget. She couldn't. What begins as watching becomes wanting. What becomes wanting becomes something darker - a pull with no clean name, no logical end, no off switch she can find no matter how hard she looks. And Mahir Singhania, with his quiet eyes and quieter secrets, doesn't seem to mind at all. But when secrets slip, boundaries blur and love and ruin start to look identical - wanting him may be the most reckless thing Ritika has ever done. Because some hearts are too fierce to be held. They need claim. They need worship. Some love heals. Some destroys. Theirs does both. They found each other. Now they have to survive each other.
