Title: Shadows of us
Arjun and Irina were once inseparable childhood best friends, bound by a secret promise-whether to reunite at a specific place when they grew up or to always find their way back to each other. But before they could fulfill it, fate intervened.
A tragic incident forced Arjun to leave the country. On the night before his departure, disaster struck-a fire, an accident, or perhaps even a kidnapping attempt. He was injured, and the trauma erased all memories of Irina and that fateful night. His family, determined to protect him, buried the past, never speaking of it again.
Years later...
Now a successful businessman, Arjun arrives in St. Petersburg for a high-stakes deal, unaware that his past is about to catch up with him. Enter Irina Volkov-a confident, enigmatic woman who seems strangely familiar yet utterly unknown.
But Irina remembers everything. She never forgot the boy who once meant the world to her. Nor did she forgive him for breaking their promise-not realizing he had no choice. For years, she searched for him. Now that she's finally found him, she refuses to reveal the truth. Instead, she will make him remember.
So, she offers him a proposition:
"Spend 365 days with me, and I'll give you something money can't buy-your forgotten past."
Will Arjun uncover the truth hidden in the shadows of his lost memories? Or will the past remain a mystery, buried beneath time and unspoken words?

The past is not merely a memory-it is a debt yet unpaid, a promise yet unfulfilled. Bound by fate and entangled in the savagery of mankind, they stand at the precipice of a world where Dharma wanes, and the truth is veiled in shadow.

Yours, Since Childhood
🕊️ Bound by Memories, Claimed by Fate Can be read as a standalone. ✦•···············•✦ '•°• Once Her Brother's Best Friend, Now Her Greatest Temptation •°•' [✨ "He was her childhood chaos, her teenage comfort... and her adult heartbreak." ✨] Arjun Malhotra At 22, he's everything he once dreamed of - a rising neurosurgeon, calm, composed, and untouchable. But beneath that practiced calm lies the same storm that once surrounded a certain girl - Jayasri Vanapalli. The girl who grew up chasing him around the playground, the one who laughed too easily, cared too deeply... and unknowingly became the center of his world. He promised himself he'd let her go. But when fate brings him back, and she's no longer the little girl who hid behind her brother - the feelings he buried start to surface again, darker and deeper than before. "I thought distance would cure it. But every time someone looks at you, I burn all over again." Jayasri Vanapalli Nineteen, soft-hearted, quiet, and impossibly observant. Life without Arjun and Aditya was dull - until it wasn't. She's stronger now, more independent... but her heart still flutters at the memory of a smile that once meant safety. And when Arjun returns - distant, possessive, and confusingly gentle - her world begins to twist between what's right and what her heart refuses to forget. "He looks at me like I'm still the little girl he used to protect... But his eyes tell a different story now." A story of childhood bonds turned forbidden, of unspoken promises, jealousy, and fate's cruel timing. Because some connections don't fade with time - they only grow harder to hide. 💔 Will Arjun protect her from the world... or from himself? 💫 And when love crosses the line of reason, who really wins - the heart, or fate? ✦•···············•✦ All Rights Reserved © Written by @midnightpetals
A LOVELESS ALLIANCE
𝐕𝐚𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐡𝐢 𝐱 𝐀𝐫𝐣𝐮𝐧 || Then suddenly, she jerked away, pushing my hand off as if my touch burned. "Don't do this, Arjun." she said. I blinked, my throat tightening. "Please," she said again, her voice breaking, "please leave me alone. I can't do this anymore. I can't." My heart pounded. "Vaidehi, listen to me..." "No!"she snapped, her tears spilling freely now. I took a deep breath, pain clawing at my chest. "Vaidehi," I said quietly, "I'm never leaving you. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever. Forgive me. Just believe me once. Give me a chance to prove myself." She looked at me, really looked at me. As if trying to find the truth in my eyes. Then she laughed. A broken, bitter laugh that didn't reach her eyes. It was a sound that made my heart ache because it wasn't her laugh. Not the one that used to light up my world. "Arjun," she said, tears streaming again, "maafi galti ki hoti hai. And what you did... wasn't a mistake."...... ( It's not the end here ).... To know more dive into the book .
