In the landscapes of 1800s Indonesia, where the echoes of colonial rule reverberate, "Tulips and Spices" tells a clandestine love story that defies the rigid social hierarchy. Dutch General Johannes Andries Vinke, a stern and cold enforcer of imperial colonialization, finds his heart entwined with Kusuma Kalani, a young and energetic housemaid of Indonesian descent. As they navigate the waters of social expectations and cultural disparities, their love becomes a symphony of stolen glances and secret rendezvous. But will their bond break from the pressure of society's disapproval? Or does their love triumph against all odds?

Langley: The Duke and the Scandal
London doesn't ruin people with proof-it ruins them with whispers. Reginald, Duke of Ashburn, has survived society by mastering restraint: the careful smile, the measured distance, the discipline of stopping an inch short of disaster. But Josephine Langley has never been interested in being managed into silence. She meets the ton's cruelty with calm precision-and Reginald's composure with a ferocity that feels dangerously like home. One near-kiss on a terrace becomes a city-wide invention. Powerful men offer "solutions" dressed as protection: send Josephine away, restore the Duke's reputation, erase the inconvenient truth of them. Instead, Reginald does the unthinkable-he chooses her in daylight, openly, plainly, and without apology. But love is only the first battle. When Josephine uncovers a buried family crime-names, payments, and a legacy built on someone else's ruin-choosing each other means choosing something even more dangerous: the truth. With enemies circling, papers hungry for scandal, and their families poised to bury them both, Reginald and Josephine make a vow the ton can't edit: Careful first. Then brave. And always-together.Concluida

And I somehow got the courage to published it because I feel like it needed to be published. I was scared at first because you know the grammar and everything but I still did it. Now I stopped Wattpad for over two years and I just came back right now and I want to fixed my spellings and grammar in the story so don't be shocked especially the old readers that the story somehow changed. Thank you<3 _________________________________________ #14-CompleteConcluida
Khwaab~ The Rawal's Forbidden Bride
I never intended to become entangled in their politics, let alone in the bed of their prince. I crossed deserts and seas, driven by a single hope; to save my brother, the only family I have from a foreign land. He was captured by the King of Hind during our war of conquest. But to free him, I became bound to the man who snatched everything from me. The Prince whose very name fills me with rage. Rawal Ekagraj. A single night with him shattered my honor and binded me to a something, I never chose for myself. As the crowned Empress of Arabia, I could never betray my people. Yet, he made me falter. Why? His eyes. Deep, dangerous, and impenetrable eyes. Now, I am his bride. A forbidden bride trapped by vows I never wanted and held captive in a kingdom that sees me as the enemy. I lived with the fear of dying any moment there. He was never meant to be mine, just as I was never meant to be his. If we ever fall in love, which was always impossible, it would be as forbidden as it is undeniable. But Rawal was not the only danger I had to face. Something was there which I didn't know. Something which nobody knew. Dark and destructible. And when it came, we all fell on our knees. It destroyed and shed rivers of blood. But someone was still not satisfied. My past haunted me, my brother's life was slipping away, and the Prince- my captor, my enemy became the only solace I knew. He seeks peace in me, and in his arms I feel a dangerous flicker of love.Concluida

Her brothers have offered their assistance, and it's given her hope that perhaps there is a man out there who might want her for a wife. But alas, the first man she meets after recommitting to the battle against spinsterhood is reasonably handsome, reasonably naked and completely soaked through and stranded on their front steps.

Adil-e-Chand, the ashes of desire
"To all the girls who feel they are unfortunate." Chandrika -The princess of Ajmer labelled as the bad omen for the palace, she had always been kept locked in a room with nothing but silent screams ringing in her ears reminding her every second that she is nothing but a curse for her loved ones. Now those screams are no less than a lullaby which helps her sleep after each failed attempt to end her life every single night. Her innocent soul now rests in the pit of hope which diminishes in small doses, that one day someone will see her for who she wants to be. Someone who will see her not as a curse, but as a girl who just wants to be loved. Sultan Adil Faisal khan- Sultan of the Mughal Sultanate The young man who was titled as the Sultan at the very young age of 19, but deep down his tough mask resides in an innocent heart which aches every second missing someone he can never meet. Even though it's false for him to think of her when he knows he can't have her, his heart always repels his brain whispering, "what if?". what if one day he could meet her again? what if he could inhale her sweet scent again? What if he could confess his longing towards her? what if...? This world carries so much magic that to justify its unrealistic nature we label it as coincidence. Funny right? This story or as I should say every other romance story says otherwise even the sad ones and I totally agree. In this universe, where people are busy calculating possibilities of a dice number also live people like me who believe in fate, and I think anyone who reads does believe in fate. "kisi na kisi ko hai banaya har kisike liye" this lyric says everything I want to convey through my story. Each person in our life is like a chapter who helps us reach our happy ending. So, let's turn our pages and read through them. Shall we?
