What if the scariest place in a hospital wasn't the operating room... but the one they swore didn't exist?

In Room 17, Kaari wakes up in a psychiatric institute with no memory of who she was-only spirals, drawings, and silence greet her. But as dreams blur into flashbacks and corridors hide forbidden doors, she realizes she's not the patient here. She's the evidence.

Alongside two other girls-Joya and Maaya-Kaari uncovers a buried experiment: Room 43, a place built not to heal minds, but to erase them.

What starts as recovery becomes resistance.
What begins as memory becomes revolution.

A dark psychological thriller laced with mystery, buried trauma, secret experiments, and the quiet power of friendship that refuses to forget.

꧁ঔৣ 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 2 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐃𝐲𝐧𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬ঔৣ꧂ ╰┈➤ᶜᵃⁿ ᵇᵉ ʳᵉᵃᵈ ˢᵗᵃⁿᵈᵃˡᵒⁿᵉ He taught formulas and reactions-never expecting to feel one. 𝐀𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐤𝐬𝐡 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞 doesn't believe in second chances. Not in life. Not in love. With a past buried behind locked doors and eyes that hold a thousand unsaid stories, he walks into the classroom not to inspire-but to survive. As the university's new chemistry professor, he keeps his world cold, professional, untouched. Until she walks in. 𝐈𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐯𝐢 𝐑𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢, a quiet student with more courage than she realizes, doesn't crave attention. But something about her professor pulls at her like an unsolved equation. His silence, his intensity, the way he avoids anything remotely personal-it all sparks a reaction neither of them are prepared for. What begins as curiosity turns into glances. Glances turn into conversations. Conversations turn into something far more dangerous. Between lab practicals and stolen moments, Ishanvi finds herself falling-for the man, the mystery, and the pain he desperately tries to hide. But Adraksh has rules. He's built walls. And his past... isn't done with him yet. And when the truth threatens to shatter everything, both of them must decide- Is love still love, if it was never meant to begin? Because not all reactions are reversible. Some bonds defy logic. And sometimes, the most forbidden equations... write the most unforgettable stories. "Yeh kahaani ek rishta hai jo kisi formula se nahi bana, Har pal mein ek reaction tha-magar naam chhupa raha tha. Mainne likha nafrat se shuru, par har lafz pyaar se bheeg gaya, Shayad dil ke experiments mein, koi rule nahi hota hai na..."

ALL IN THE MIND by RandomKaahani

Featured by @AmbassadorIN .·:*¨༺ ༻¨*:·. Investigation Room 1 : "I was angry at him and I had had enough of him that night. He himself invited his death." He scoffed, muttering incoherent stuff under his breath Investigation Room 2 : "A man like him deserved to die. Evils like him deserve incidents worse than death." He shrugged without any trace of guilt. Investigation Room 3 : "I didn't really want to do it. It just kinda happened." She whispered, her eyes busy boring holes in the floor "I killed him!" All of them, amusingly, muttered the same thing, sitting rooms apart from each other. One murder, three suspects, three confessions with three versions of the truth. But the question is, who's really speaking the truth?

SCENT OF FLAME by authorrmoon

** The book chapter 1-13 is under editing ** "Oh, you're using sir now? How polite of you. Did a fairy bite you overnight?" She didn't even blink. "No, but apparently I needed to remind myself how to behave in the presence of egotistical bosses." I smirked again. Fire. Always fire with this girl. "You call that a reminder? You stormed into my cabin like it's a wrestling ring." Her eyes blazed like I'd challenged her to a duel. "Because that's what this job feels like lately. Wrestling with my sanity." "Then maybe you should quit before you embarrass yourself." "Oh no, sir. Quitting is for the weak. I stay. I slay. And I collect pay." That caught me off guard. I let out a short laugh genuine, rare. "Is that a quote from your diary or from others' dairy?" She rolled her eyes but didn't budge. "You think this is funny? Humiliating me every second day? Whispering threats in an elevator like we're in some psychological thriller?" I stepped closer, voice dropping. "You think I care about you or what you think?" Silence. "You wore the other perfume today." "Oh, you noticed." "You have nothing to notice." The air shifted-tense, dense. Even my breath slowed. "Sorry, I didn't know your nose was on the board of directors." I stepped even closer, locking eyes with her. "Careful, Mannat. You're in my territory now." But she didn't even flinch. Just whispered with deadly precision "And you're in mine, every time you talk like that."

Whisper's To A Stranger: To the Boy Who Didn't Know He Was Listening{COMPLETE✔️} by hazeleyedsoul

She had no one left to talk to. So she talked to him - a man who would never reply. For five years, Vaanika Subramaniam poured her soul into the DMs of a stranger. Not for attention. Not for love. 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.

A Little More Than Hate by Inkedbynia

At Starlight Business College, life is chaotic, glamorous, and ruled by power and pride. Kavya Sharma-a bold, outspoken, middle-class girl with a tragic past-clashes fiercely with Rivaan Sinha, the arrogant, wealthy heir whose family practically owns the institution. Their first encounter is explosive-full of insults, pride, and power-play. What begins as a petty war of pranks and classroom insults gradually shifts when Rivaan unknowingly breaks Kavya's most cherished possession: her late mother's bracelet. That moment becomes the catalyst for something deeper. Despite the bitterness, Rivaan starts feeling guilt-and eventually admiration-for Kavya's strength. He secretly repairs and replaces the bracelet, and from that point, their dynamic evolves. They go from enemies to reluctant partners in a college fest, sharing playful banter, emotional confessions, and unexpected tenderness. Just as they begin understanding each other, Kavya's traumatic past resurfaces in the form of Karan Sharma-her abusive father who murdered her mother. Rivaan fiercely defends her, standing up against Karan in a public showdown. As the walls between them crumble, both begin to acknowledge a bond growing stronger than hate and deeper than friendship. Their chemistry, once volatile, becomes healing.
