The Breaking Silence of Abdeen
The marble floors of Abdeen Palace glowed beneath the flickering torchlight, casting golden reflections upon silk and shadow. Jasirah moved like a whisper of wind, hips swaying, arms unfurling like desert petals as the ancient drums called her body into rhythm.
She danced not to seduce, but to honour. Every motion told the story of the women before her mothers, healers, warriors who had turned pain into grace.
But Sultan saw none of that.
From his gold-threaded couch, half-drunk on wine and his own arrogance, he watched her with a gaze soaked in possession. His laughter cut across the music. Jasirah felt the shift in the room: joy turned to unease. Even the drummers hesitated.
And then..... the fall.
A crash. A scream. A cup spilled.
The Sultan collapsed, choking eyes wide, lips trembling. Guards rushed. Servants froze. The queen, fierce and unreadable, stood still as marble.
A blade was found. Slender, ornamental tucked into Jasirah's sash. Poison was traced in his wine, but it was her hands that held the cup last.
Jasirah's eyes, once alight with passion, now widened in disbelief. She knelt beside the body, but the guards tore her away.
In the distance, a single camera shutter clicked. Rashid.

Unspoken Hearts
He looked straight at me, ignoring the others. "So you're doing the lead now?" he asked, loud enough for everyone to hear. The music cut. All eyes turned. "Yes," I said, calm but firm. "Is there a problem?" He crossed his arms. "No, not at all. Except I didn't know you suddenly wanted to be center stage. Funny how that happened after he showed up." The he didn't need a name. I glared. "I've always loved dancing. You just never noticed." The entire room was silent. Even the choreographer awkwardly looked away. I could feel my hands shaking, but I held my ground. "Paras," I said through clenched teeth, "you don't get to question who I am becoming just because it doesn't fit your version of me." "Right," he scoffed. "So this is the real Meera? Suddenly dancing, suddenly in charge? Or just trying to impress Mr. Trustee?" Before I could respond, a voice interrupted from behind. Deep. Calm. Authority laced with danger. "If you're done embarrassing yourself, Mr. Khurana, I'd like to have a word with the event head." I turned-and there he was. Maan Singhaniya. "I believe Miss Shrivastav has more important things to do than entertain your insecurity," Maan added coolly. My jaw almost dropped. Did he just... defend me? I stood frozen, heart thudding. Maan turned to me. "May I have a word?" I nodded and followed him out like a lost puppy. Outside - Just Us Two We stopped near the garden behind the auditorium. "I didn't mean to interfere," he said, not looking at me. "But it was getting out of hand." "I'm glad you did," I replied, more breathless than I meant to be. A pause. Then he turned to me, eyes softer now. "You dance well." "You saw me?" "I see more than people think." Those five words sent a shiver down my spine. He didn't say anything else. Just gave a small nod and walked away. But this time... I wanted him to stay.

A fierce princess. A ruthless Mughal king. Bound by a cold, political marriage neither wants. In ancient India's royal courts, love will have to fight through silence, fire, and forbidden desire. Historical romance. Slow burn. Dark passion. _____________________ The courtier had laughed. Too loud. Too long. And Siyamika had smiled-just for a moment, just out of politeness. But that was enough. Later that night, the palace corridors whispered with the sound of heavy footsteps. Her chamber door slammed shut. She barely had time to rise before he was in front of her. Zayyan. Cloaked in emerald, his jaw tight, eyes burning with something she couldn't name-but it wasn't cold. Not this time. "Was he amusing, rajkumari?" His voice was quiet. Deadly. "Did his jokes warm your lonely little evenings?" Siyamika stepped back, her spine brushing the carved pillar behind her bed. "I only smiled. It was-" "Too much," he growled. "Too soft. Too pretty. Too tempting." He reached for her chin, fingers curling firm, almost rough. She gasped-more from the closeness than the grip. "You are mine." "And if I have to remind you..." his gaze dropped to her lips, "...I will." _____________________________ Then he kissed her. Not with affection. Not with tenderness With anger. With control. With punishment. Her hands pushed at his chest-resisting, struggling-but he didn't move. Didn't stop until he had tasted every ounce of the fire he tried to bury. When he finally pulled away, his breath was ragged. Hers was stolen. "Let that be your last smile for another man," he said, voice like thunder. "Or next time, I won't stop there."Complete
Transcendent Bond
**** She let her silk robe fall to the ground revealing all of her and found it overly satisfying the way his eyes followed the movement of her robes down to the ground, coming slowly back up her now completely naked body. With the way he looked at her in that moment she had never had more pride in her body nor felt more beautiful. But enough with the looking, it wouldn't take care of the ache she felt in her nether regions. She advanced on him and kissed him, he didn't move. Thinking this might have been a mistake after all, she moved her head back from his face and was going to apologize for her brazen actions when he drew her face back to his with one large hand and slammed his mouth ferociously on hers. She smiled, she just might have broken the resolve of the reserved Chancellor. The kiss was not disappointing in anyway, it was hard, passionate and fervent. Soon they were moving back towards her bed, she was hastily undressing him with frantic fingers. He threw her on the bed and removed his mouth from hers, moving it to her throat, his hands roaming all over her body, pleasuring her. There was something about it though, he wasn't with her like someone would be with someone they were with for the first time; exploring, discovering. Rather, it was as though he already knew her body from head to toe; knowing her pleasure points, just how much to push to get a reaction from her, and somehow she knew what he would do next. It was hard to explain. It felt as though they have done this countless of times before whereas this is their first time together. She was rather impatient, as he was taking his time with her body without necessarily dealing with the ache, and she frantically reached for him beneath his trousers....Complete
This is How it Starts

Hayaat
"Z-Zayd p-please, n-nahi." That's all she could manage to say. "Main janta hoon aap darr rahi hain," he said, his voice breaking just a little, "Aur main is darr ki wajah banna nahi chahta. Lekin main kab se iss raat ka intezaar kar raha tha,jab aap meri ho jayengi." When his face came dangerously close, Noor panicked. Her hands quickly rose to his chest, trying to push him back. "Z-Zayd, P-please chodhiye hume, a-aisa mat kijiye" she pleaded, turning her face away,voice low. But Zayd was too far gone. His hand moved to her cheek, gently turning her face back toward him. His thumb brushed her jawline, tender but possessive. "Noor," he murmured, his lips brushing close to hers now, "Bas ek baar," Before she could form another word, before her breath could catch, his mouth was on hers, forceful and demanding. Noor froze. Her fists pushed weakly at his chest. She tried pushing, clawing, muffled screaming, trying to fight him off, but he didn't budge.Tears spilled freely down her cheeks, trailing over their locked lips. Soft, broken sobs shook through her.But he didn't stop. He felt the salt of her tears between their mouths,yet it only made his kiss fiercer, more desperate. Like something inside him snapped.Her pain, her trembling,he felt it all. Still, he couldn't let go.He had waited too long, yearned too deep. Finally, after eternity, He pulled back just enough to see her face. Tears. So many of them. Streaming freely, glistening against the dim light. Her eyes were squeezed shut, her lips red and swollen, trembling,not from desire but fear. He cupped her face as she lay there, not moving an inch. "Noor meri baat suniye, Miyan biwi ke darmiyaan ye sab normal hota hai, izhar e mohabbat ka ek tareeka," "P-Please, H-Hume darr l-lag raha h-hai, C-Chodh dijiye"Complete
🔱THE FEMALE KNIGHT🔱[COMPLETED)✔
"ALIA WATCH OUT!!" i bellowed before Mairah slit her dagger into Alia's back. She dropped in front of me after receiving a stab from Mairah. Before she was about to be further attacked, the chamber door broke open and the guards came rushing towards Mairah, pulling her away. My eyes immediately shifted to Alia, who was lying on the floor motionless, covered with blood. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Republishing this for better understanding and its editted I got the idea for this story from Rangrasiya ( drama ) and abit from Bajirao Masatani and mostly from my brain. I have always wanted to write this story about royal royal thingy. And of course this story would be different from all the other royal stories which you might have read. Its not a full romance but surely there are some parts. Its a mixture of adventure, love, family, unity and more.And especially, as this story is a muslim related, there would be no *ehem ehem* .

slice of life | romance Nadiah sniffled, wiped her nose, then walked toward the balcony and stared at the sky with a blank expression. Living on the second floor of this big house, the urge to jump and die crossed her mind more often than she wanted to admit. But here she was never attempted it, but suicidal thoughts were a constant. Like, all the time. The worst part was, she didn't even know what exactly she was suffering from. "Nadiah," Iman called softly. Nadiah turned her head toward her best friend. "You know you can trust me with anything, right?" "I know. Same goes for you, you can tell me anything too." "Then why?" Iman's voice wavered slightly. "Why do you pull away from me when you're going through hard times?"Iman simply wrapped her arm around Nadiah's shoulder, pulling her into a quiet, comforting side hug. Nadeem removed his hoodie and gently placed it over Nadiah's shoulders. He remained in his white shirt underneath. He scooped five spoonfuls of porridge into Nadiah's bowl, then served some for himself. "Here," he said, placing the bowl in front of her. Nadiah took it with both hands and began eating slowly, like a sloth. She chewed, but swallowing felt impossible. She didn't know why she was torturing herself like this. She simply had no appetite. No strength to even force it down. Nadiah sipped her coffee. "And what do you expect from your wife... emotionally?" Yusuf smiled gently. "Honesty. Not perfection. Just that she feels safe enough to be real with me." She looked down, breathing slowly. "And your role as a husband?" "Protector, provider, and partner. All three." That answer stayed with her long after the meeting ended. English book in Malay setting's. But since English isn't my first language, i used simple English so don't hesitate to read :) be kind, my first writing. (ED. Suicidal thoughts)
