✨ The Decepted Self ✨
🖋️ by Lekshmi A.H
"Sometimes I forget who I am.
Then the house reminds me."
Ava Hayes once had everything - fame, love, and a future carved in ink and ambition. But after a devastating loss, the words disappeared. So did the light inside her.
Now, desperate to heal, she and Lucas move into a forgotten house on the edge of nowhere. He says it's a fresh start.
But the house remembers.
The rooms shift. Time loops.
And a journal appears - one that tells her story... before she's even lived it.
As reality fractures and Ava spirals into a maze of guilt, grief, and ghosts, only Lucas keeps her grounded.
But the deeper she falls, the more one question haunts her:
What if the person she trusts most... was never real?
🕯️ A psychological thriller where memory is fragile, the past is a lie, and love might be the most dangerous illusion of all.

Just to survive. To feel like someone, somewhere, might be listening. To the grief clawing at her chest. To the rage of growing up in a house that fed on silence. To the pain of being a girl the world tried to break - gently, slowly, and then all at once. That stranger? Ekaansh Vashisth. Actor. Icon. Lie. India's most beloved face - with a smile curated to perfection and eyes that forgot how to feel. At 34, he's drowning under fame, betrayal, and the unbearable noise of being wanted by everyone but loved by no one. Until one night - In the haze of heartbreak and insomnia - He opens his DMs. And finds 20,000 messages. From her. Messages that read like confessions. Like poetry. Like someone saw him without ever looking. And for the first time in years - he listens. While he is finally heard. What begins as curiosity becomes obsession. Because her whispers sound like home. Because she was unraveling - and he was the thread she didn't know she was clinging to. - This is not a love story. This is two broken people whispering into the void - and somehow, finding each other there. An age-gap slow burn. A story of unseen love, aching silence, and the way two strangers can unknowingly become each other's lifeline.Complete
