In the heart of a sprawling palace that blends the opulence of Rajput and Mughal architecture, Ashley Singh Rathore, the eldest daughter of a powerful Maharaja, finds herself entangled in a web of intrigue, power, and secrets that span centuries. When the enigmatic Sebastian Caldwell, a shrewd businessman with ties to both India and Europe, arrives at the palace, his intentions appear noble, but his presence stirs echoes of the past that refuse to stay buried.

As Ashley navigates her duties as the heir to her family's legacy, she uncovers a forgotten contract that links Sebastian to a promise made by her ancestors long ago-one that threatens to unravel the very foundation of her family's heritage. Bound by duty and driven by a desire to protect her family, Ashley must confront the shadows of the past while grappling with her growing connection to Sebastian, a man whose motives are as complex as his mysterious history.

Set against the backdrop of a palace steeped in tradition and history, this story explores the tension between progress and legacy, the clash of old and new worlds, and the power of secrets that can change the course of the future. As Ashley and Sebastian's fates become increasingly intertwined, they must navigate a dangerous path where trust is scarce, alliances are fragile, and the consequences of past actions loom large over the present.All Rights Reserved

After the mysterious death of her father-one of India's most influential men-she is thrust into a world far darker than she ever imagined. Determined to uncover the truth behind his death, she moves to Europe, where secrets linger in the shadows and danger waits at every turn.

Cold, calculating, and dangerously possessive, he rules his empire with an iron fist. When Aarohi's search for the truth crosses into his world, he knows she's in over her head.

Utkarsh Rajvanshi, heir to a royal lineage and the formidable CEO of an empire, is a man of control-his world a perfect symphony of precision, where every move is calculated, every secret buried deep. Yet, behind his composed exterior lies a storm only a few dare to glimpse. Rajshree Rathore, the epitome of grace and strength, carries a regal heritage of her own. But beneath her poised demeanor is a fire that refuses to be tamed. She walks into a world where nothing is as it seems, where loyalty is a weapon, and trust is a fragile illusion. Her presence alone stirs the still waters of Utkarsh's meticulously built life, but is it fate drawing them together or something far more dangerous? In a realm where alliances are forged in shadows, Abhimanyu Shekhawat, Utkarsh's right hand, stands as his unwavering shield. A brother in everything but blood, he moves through this world with the same ruthless precision, yet with a heart that knows the weight of unspoken battles.

A house built on a foundation of secrets, a family carrying burdens unseen, and a love that stands on the edge of revelation. When the walls begin to crack, will love be enough to survive the truth? Or will the weight of the past crush everything before it can even begin?

Forget Me Not by EtherealHrshi

In the heart of British-ruled India, where the monsoon winds carried whispers of rebellion and the air was thick with the mingled scent of jasmine and gunpowder, a story was waiting to unfold-one that defied the rigid boundaries of empire, status, and destiny. Amid the cobbled streets and lush estates of jaipur, young Mira, barely eighteen, served as a housemaid in the grand home of Captain Edward Sinclair. Born into a family marked by hardship and resilience, mira carried the quiet strength of her ancestors in her dark eyes and moved with a grace that belied the harshness of her life. To the British officers and their families, she was invisible-just another native servant, a silent witness to the grandeur and the brutality of colonial rule. But to Edward Sinclair, an enigmatic and conflicted officer haunted by his own transgressions, she was an unexpected mirror to his conscience and a source of uncharted emotions. Bound by duty but restless in spirit, Edward bore the weight of secrets that had turned him into a pariah among his own kind, and it was in Anjali's presence that the sharp edges of his guilt began to blur. Their worlds were as different as the scorching sun and the cool, hidden streams of the Indian forest, yet fate conspired to weave them together. In the simmering tensions of an India yearning for freedom, their connection would challenge not just the chains of colonial power but the very notions of love, loyalty, and betrayal. This is a tale of forbidden passions and unspoken truths, where loyalty is tested, and hearts become captives of an era that sought to suppress them. As the empire's shadows lengthen and choices become as perilous as they are inevitable, Mira and Edward must decide if their bond will survive the fires of division-or be consumed by them.
