Crimson Silence: "Order Of The Unseen"
Thornburghshire had always been a city of quiet rot-its corners dressed in order, but its bones brittle with secrets. After their last case nearly tore the city's justice system apart, Detective Yuki and newly promoted Detective Jelly are back on the streets, chasing something colder than a corpse and slicker than truth: a kidnapping. Eliza Whitmore, daughter of the mayor, vanishes without a trace one damp morning. What starts as a high-profile missing persons case soon coils into something far uglier-evidence pointing to a buried network pulling the strings behind the city's decay. A name surfaces like a whispered curse: The Order of the Unseen. As the detectives wade deeper into corruption and ritual, the mayor unveils a key figure-Colonel David Kane, his trusted advisor and enforcer. But Yuki knows that name. She remembers the man. He helped raise her brother Nisbet before his untimely death, and now stands as a ghost from a past she thought she'd buried. What follows is a descent into loyalty twisted by manipulation, regret sharpened into rage, and a partnership that begins to fray under the weight of truth. For Yuki and Jelly, the line between justice and revenge has never been thinner-and this time, crossing it might cost them everything.Complete
Shadows Of The Forgotten Night
Kalika had just completed her rigorous IFS training and received the appointment letter she had dreamed of-she was to be posted at the prestigious Indian Embassy in Delhi. It was the beginning of everything she had worked so hard for. To celebrate, she joined her friends for a night out at one of the city's most elite club. It was supposed to be a night of joy, freedom, and beginnings. But the next morning shattered everything. She wake up in a haze, her head throbbing, her memories fragmented. Stumbling into the bathroom, she comes face-to-face with a nightmare-her body is bruised, covered in bite marks, and aching in places that make her stomach churn. Panic claws at her throat. She remembers laughter, lights, music... and then, nothing. A complete blackout. Terrified and confused, Kalika is desperate to uncover the truth. But with her dream career on the line, she must tread carefully-one wrong move could shatter everything she's worked for. Her search leads her to three mysterious women-Samira, Aryahi, and Niyati-each of them hiding secrets of their own. What begins as a personal investigation soon spirals into a dark and tangled web of secrets, betrayal, and buried trauma. The truth about that night is far more twisted than Kalika ever imagined-and some memories are hidden for a reason. How far would you go to uncover a night your mind refuses to remember?

Caught up in an investigation that goes beyond a mere disappearance, she has no choice but to cooperate with her archenemy and a group of friends who have known each other since childhood. TW - sensitive topics This story contains a lot of references to addiction (alcohol and drugs), and as the chapters progress, they will become more serious. Furthermore, the main character (Mia) suffers from diagnosed chronic anxiety, which I have portrayed to the best of my own experience. All characters, places, and events are fictional (products of my imagination only). Protected story.Complete
