SHATTERED CRIMSON : The Masquerade Unveiled by esha_rai

What have they always known you for? Your name? Your family's expectations? What if it was all an illusion, a web of lies spun so intricately that even you believed it? One accident. Two deaths. Three lives. That's all it took to pierce the veil, to burst the fragile bubble of deception. But was it truly an accident, or something far more sinister? A wake-up call, perhaps, from a destiny long hidden in shadow? They say life is a test, each step designed to shape us, to forge diamonds from coal under relentless pressure. But diamonds are dangerous-beautiful, yet lethal. Swallow one, and it poisons you from the inside, its toxicity seeping into every corner of your soul. Hold it too close, and it cuts deeply, leaving wounds that bleed slow, unyielding, and fatal. Where will the agony of betrayal take her? Will she unravel the lies and discover her true self, or remain forever ensnared in a labyrinth of deceit and falsehood? Is this suffering simply a cruel twist of fate, or something darker still?
