When Mariam moves into the secluded girls' hostel, she expects to start fresh and leave her troubled past behind. But something about the hostel feels off-its corridors stretch endlessly, its walls seem to whisper, and its silence feels heavy with secrets. What begins as unease quickly spirals into terror when strange occurrences and cryptic messages disrupt their lives. A single philosophy book, Echoes of the Mind, appears as if from nowhere, its cryptic passages hinting at a sinister truth about the hostel's past and their future.
Nine girls, each with their own strengths, flaws, and hidden pasts, find themselves trapped with no way out and no connection to the outside world. Among them is Uzma, the mysterious observer who knows more than she reveals; Noor, the eternal optimist trying to keep hope alive; and Zara, the skeptic whose doubts sow chaos within the group. As alliances form and crumble, suspicions rise, and relationships fray, each girl must confront her deepest fears.
Together, they piece together the secrets of the hostel and the shadowy force that holds them prisoner. But the closer they get to the truth, the more perilous their journey becomes. Not everyone is meant to escape, and the cost of freedom may demand a sacrifice none of them are ready to make.
In The Silent Escape, fear lurks in every shadow, betrayal waits around every corner, and the silence that surrounds them holds the key to both survival and destruction. The real question is, who will escape and at what cost?

Dorm Room 309: They're Watching
One year ago, Elara Voss's sister walked into Dorm Room 309... and never came out. No witnesses. No clues. Just an empty room-and a door that wouldn't open for hours. The university called it a breakdown. The police called it a runaway. But Elara never believed the lies. Now, she's transferred to Valemont University-and she's been assigned the same room: 309. The whispers have already started. Her door locks on its own. And someone-or something-is watching her. The deeper Elara digs, the stranger things get: Hidden journals. Unmarked files. A professor who knows too much. And a boy with secrets of his own. Everyone thinks it's a haunting. But what's hiding inside Room 309... isn't supernatural. It's real. And it's still out there. Welcome to Valemont. Don't stay after dark. And whatever you do... don't sleep in Room 309.Complete

His mistress
Loving him was the cruelest kind of torment-a love that lived in the shadows, one that could never bask in the warmth of the sun. I was nothing more than a stolen moment, a whispered name in the dark, a secret he tucked away between the life he had built and the one he wished he could have. I knew, deep down, that I was a fracture in his story, a fleeting escape from the weight of his reality. And yet, I still clung to him, to the illusion that for a few precious hours, he was mine. But the truth was relentless-it came in the form of unanswered texts, in the way he dressed hurriedly after loving me, in the way he said her name with the same tenderness he once gave me. I had given him my heart, knowing he would never be able to keep it, and yet, I loved him still. Loved him as I watched him walk away, loved him as he returned to the arms of the woman he truly belonged to, loved him as I drowned in the loneliness he left behind. Because no matter how much I wished it to be different, I was not his home-I was just a place he visited before going back to where his heart truly lived.Complete

OBSESSION. too personal
This could have been a gentle story for quiet autumn evenings. But it shattered against Morphine - a chapter that will not let you stay indifferent. And now, you'll understand why.

It's an age-gap dark romance about redemption, grief, and the courage to love again. With touch. With words. With silence between the lines.Complete

She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.

What started as laughter and camaraderie quickly turned into a nightmare when one of them, Emma, vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispered warnings and shadowy figures lurking in the dark. Stricken with guilt and fear, the remaining friends fled, swearing never to speak of that night again. Now, years later, the past refuses to stay buried. Maya, one of the surviving friends, receives an unsettling invitation to a reunion at the same cabin on Halloween night. Against her better judgment, she joins the gathering, hoping for answers but dreading what she might uncover.
