Flightless Bird
Scarlett Rosalia is trapped in a shadowed world, weighed down by the pain of her past and the heaviness of simply surviving. Each day bleeds into the next, and the freedom of flight-of hope-feels like a distant memory. Alexander Knightly, a billionaire CEO with the world at his feet, is as cold and untouchable as the empire he commands. Hidden behind a mask of ruthless arrogance, he's built walls too high for anyone to climb. He knows nothing of Scarlett's suffering-until she breaks through his barriers, forcing him to confront the man behind the fortune. But saving her comes at a cost. As Scarlett begins to rise, her fragile wings falter, and the tide of despair threatens to pull her under for good. Alexander swore to protect her, but is his world truly safe for her? Can he, with all his power and pride, teach her to fly again? Or will they both fall victim to the weight of their scars? What if the past she's running from isn't the only secret waiting to be uncovered? ------------------------------ Link to my Pinterest Board, which inspired this story: https://pin.it/HFgsvoYComplete

Torn between a man who speaks in silences and another who says all the right things, Sienna must confront the past that shaped her and the future she dares to want. Because some hearts bruise without breaking. Some goodbyes are never spoken. And some shadows shine brighter than diamonds.Complete
Visha: A Deadly Poison
The past lingered in her eyes, a haunting reminder of the trauma she'd endured. Years had passed since that fateful night, but the scars remained. The memories of her mother's lifeless body, her boyfriend's desperate attempt to save her, and his ultimate sacrifice still burned within her. The injustice that followed, fueled by deceit and manipulation, had only added to her pain. The photograph, taken in the heat of her grief, had sealed her fate. A snapshot of her holding the knife, her boyfriend's lifeless body behind her, had been twisted to portray her as the killer. The truth, however, was far more sinister. The rain poured down like tears from the heavens, washing away the city's sins, but not the memories. She stood there, her eyes fixed on the spot where her world had crumbled. The laughter, the love, the life - all lost in an instant. The knife, still lodged in her memory, seemed to pierce her heart anew. Now, she's back, driven by a burning desire for revenge against those who wronged her. The system failed her once, but she won't let it happen again. This time, she's ready to take matters into her own hands.
