Sukoon: When love turns lethal
'Two kids were crying as they gazed at a dead cat lying near the road, its body bearing the signs of multiple impacts.' "I loved her so much," one of them sobbed. "I know you did, but she's gone. Be strong," the other kid replied, trying to comfort him. "How can I be strong? She was so small... how can someone be so cruel?" Just then, a girl around their age, who had been quietly observing the scene from a short distance, spoke up. "It's just a street cat, guys. Why are you making such a fuss? She always roamed around here. Some bike or car must have accidentally hit her, unable to see her in time. Just stop the drama already." 'The two kids were left speechless, their eyes fixed blankly on the third girl's face, shocked by her harsh words. She was only six years old, yet she spoke without any sympathy or emotion, her words cutting deep into their grief.' "In a town where secrets lurked, a discovery led to a fiery confrontation. An escape left one in flames, but that was just the beginning. A letter, a confession, a mental asylum - a twisted tale of torment and manipulation. The story unfolds, shrouded in mystery, gripping readers in a web of suspense and deceit. The characters' fates hang in the balance, their destinies intertwined in a chilling narrative of love, betrayal, and madness."Complete

Frozen Flame
The night was thick with the scent of rain and danger. Somewhere in the chaos of the city, a woman burned-not in flames, but in spirit. Indhu had spent the last five years chasing a shadow. A nameless, faceless savior who had pulled her from the jaws of death, only to vanish before she could even say his name. She had searched endlessly, turning over every stone, seeking a ghost in a world that had long forgotten that night. But fate had other plans. Instead of finding her savior, she found him. Vikram was the storm she never saw coming-cold as steel, sharp as a blade. A man who moved with precision, spoke with purpose, and carried an air of danger so effortless, it was almost intoxicating. Their worlds should never have collided, but fate had a twisted sense of humor. Their first encounter was anything but smooth. Sparks flew, tempers flared, and in the midst of their clashing wills, something unspoken ignited. And then, before she could make sense of it, her fate was sealed. A wedding. A promise. A name that would forever bind her to the man who stood at the opposite end of the spectrum from her. Fire and ice. Chaos and control. A burning flame and the frozen storm meant to contain it. But beneath the surface of their growing tension, there were secrets. His secrets. Her past. Their fate. And in the shadows, someone was watching. Waiting. She thought she was searching for a man from her past. She didn't realize she was already caught in someone else's game. The question wasn't whether she would win. It was whether she would survive.
Unwanted Husband
Dhriti never believed in happy endings. Aarav Kumar was her beginning and her forever, the boy who raised her dreams and loved her like she was the only truth in his world. But fate was crueler than love. He was declared dead, leaving her with a heart that no longer knew how to beat the same way. And then came Arjun Srivastav. A marriage not born from love, but from circumstance. Two strangers forced into a life neither of them asked for. For a long time, their home was nothing but silence, distance, and unspoken pain. Until one night changed everything. A helpless mute baby, barely ten months old, was found abandoned in Arjun's arms. A child with no voice, and no one to call his own. Something in Dhriti broke when she saw him. And in that breaking, a choice was made. They adopted him. What started as responsibility slowly became something neither of them could ignore. A reason to stay. A reason to try. A reason to look at each other beyond the walls they built. But love is never simple when the past still breathes in the present. One heart still belongs to memory. One heart is learning to feel. And a child without a voice might just become the reason two broken souls learn how to be a family. Because sometimes, healing doesn't come from love first. It comes from learning to stay. Mafia ×Doctor Oprhan × Billionaire Forced marriage Slow burn Obsessed for eachother Past trauma Hidden Identity
