"No matter how far you run from your past, it always has a way of catching up to you", is a lesson Viola must learn the hard way, after receiving an irrefusable job offer from an old family friend, that involves going back to the place that her life changed forever. Many things transpire within the velvet walls of the Dervishi Mansion. Romance, friendship, mystery, and fear. And perhaps, a rather unusual friend. Is a job paying this well worth the risk of death? Is the fear of death, worth confinement in a mind-melting mansion? At least she has Alistair...or Donivan? Or both? Or maybe, "girls supporting girls" has a new meaning when there is nothing to do inside a house with Velvet walls.

Woven in Silence
Seven years apart, yet destiny finds its way back to them. Rivaan - the cold, perfectionist CEO whose world knows him as untouchable, but whose heart once beat only for her. Ekakshi - the girl who lost her past to fading memory and panic attacks, yet unknowingly still carries him in the deepest corners of her soul. Bound since childhood in a fixed marriage that neither truly understood, life tore them apart before they could begin. Now, fate throws them together again when Ekakshi unknowingly steps into his empire again. What begins as routine work soon turns into stolen glances, playful banter, and a love that resurfaces in whispers rather than words. But their journey is far from simple - with rivals circling around, secrets from the past buried in shadows, and Ekakshi's fragile heart caught between fear and belonging. This is not just a story of rekindled love. It's about healing what was broken, facing what was hidden, and embracing the forever that destiny wrote for them long ago. A tale of childhood bonds, mysterious pasts, and the kind of love that no time, distance, or silence can erase. "She was chaos wrapped in charm. He was quiet wrapped in warmth. Together they're home." "But love didn't ask - it Wov them in Silence." "Ek adhura safar... Jisme Mohabbat mukammal thi Bas waqt bewafa nikla." Enjoy..........🥰
Worth the Risk
August & Colin | WRU series | book 1 We take risks. We make mistakes. We lie. We love. We hurt. We lose total control. I took a risk. I paid the price. I made a mistake. I felt the guilt. I lied. I lie. I loved. I try not to. I hurt. I still do. I lost control. I'm losing again. I try to stick to my plan, I try to follow my rules, I try to silence my heart, I try to keep control of the domino stones that represent my life. But one domino fell and the rest just followed. *** "We shouldn't do this," he whispers against my lips. I should applaud him for having the strength to act on that thought because I haven't been able to. At one point I wanted to, but his touches made the impulse to stop vanish. Now, the only thing I want to act on is the longing inside my chest as I think about demolishing the space between us. "Do you want to stop?" I can feel his frown against my forehead. He nudges my nose before placing a featherlight kiss on my mouth. His hands slide over my jawline, his thumbs slowly caressing my cheeks. He gives me another kiss. Slow and deliberately, as if he's still debating the answer to my question as he slicks his tongue over mine. He softly sucks on my bottom lip, dragging it with him when he pulls away. "I can't," he confesses before he presses his lips back on mine. *** All Rights Reserved (Do not copy this story, thank you :))Complete

They were inseparable until the day he spoke the words that changed everything. In a single heartbeat, silence replaced their history, and the line between "us" and "strangers" was drawn in the sand. Years have passed. They've built different lives and loved different people. but when fate forces them back into the same orbit, the gravity of the past is impossible to ignore.

Because sometimes, the people we spend a lifetime running from... are the very ones we've been running toward all along. But what happens when the love you finally claim becomes the very thing that divides you forever?

"My crush," I said. My face burned. "On you." My stomach dropped. The words hung in the air. I didn't even try to lie. There was no point. He had seen it. He had always known.
