Some love stories refuse to die. Some secrets refuse to stay buried.
When Rohini Chatterjee inherits a crumbling seaside mansion from a grandmother she never knew, she expects cobwebs and creaky floors-not a trail of unsent love letters, a locked drawer of clues, and a pendant tied to a decades-old disappearance.
Drawn to the town's only antique bookshop for answers, she meets Aarav Sen-a reclusive bibliophile with haunting eyes and a past as tangled as the mystery she's unraveling. As the two piece together fragments of forbidden romance, betrayal, and buried truths, Rohini begins to wonder: is she solving someone else's story... or reliving it?
The more she uncovers, the more the mansion seems to remember.... And they'll do anything to make Rohini forget.
In this slow-burn romance mystery packed with twists, obsession, and lost time, every chapter peels back another layer and a secret waiting to be uncovered.

The Third Bell
𝐒𝐚𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐢 𝐌𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐧 × 𝐀𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐕𝐞𝐲𝐫𝐚 Saelani came to the hills for a fresh start but on her very first night she hears it-the toll of the abandoned temple bell at 3:03 a.m. No one else admits to hearing it. No one even wants to. Then there is Arvian Veyra, dark, quiet, untouchable. Whispers follow him, stories of his brother who vanished years ago. He unsettles her, yet draws her in with a force she cannot resist. Danger wrapped in silence, and the closer she gets, the more the shadows seem to awaken. Desire is as dangerous as any curse. As the Third Bell tolls again, Saelani finds herself trapped between secrets she was never meant to uncover and a love that feels like temptation itself. Some choices may cost her more than her heart. 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰-𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐧 | 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 | 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐲Complete
Forget-Me-Not: Taste of Freedom
Sequel to 'Forget-Me-Not: Bound by Secrets' http://www.wattpad.com/myworks/4626654-forget-me-not-bound-by-secrets How can a person-- taken away from you forever, their existence a mere mark on the sand-- turn your whole life upside down by not being? Ananya Nanda is dead, but the echoes of her words still ring in the lives of her friends. Even in death, she has triumphed. Her presence had twisted lives... but her absence bubbles with the makings of a potent disaster. In a last effort to save everything they ever had, everything they lost, she must find a way to reach out to the people she battered and pushed away eleven years ago-- without being there to witness the transformation. It is true that the present does not wait for past woes to be resolved, and an echo from the past cannot mould the future. It might just be too late to piece together broken friendships, broken trust and broken relationships-- but nothing ever stopped Ananya from trying, and this time, she has all the more reason to succeed. Nothing can stop her from doing what she did not do eleven years ago: overcoming the demons that stood between her and freedom. Overcoming herself. The spark that she left behind is not just a remnant of her victoriuos struggle-- it is her gift to the three most beautiful people in her life who never strayed far from her heart, no matter how far they might be from her. They might hate her for what she did, but they would never forget what she was leaving behind... a part of herself, for each to behold, and a path to their freedom.Complete

He had already decided-thirty days, a signature, and they'd go back to being strangers. No attachments. No emotions. Just a deal. But somewhere in between, the lines blurred. Somewhere in between, a home was built, a love so quiet yet so consuming took root in places they never dared to look. And when the contract ended, they walked away-pretending none of it had ever meant anything. Yet, some feelings never fade, some stories refuse to be forgotten, and some hearts find their way back-no matter how much time or distance tries to pull them apart. Because love, the kind that lingers in every breath, every unspoken word-it was never meant to be temporary. 𝙄𝙩 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙨 𝙢𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙙𝙚⋆ ୨ৎ ──────── ✦ 1ꜱᴛ ʙᴏᴏᴋ ᴏꜰ ᴅᴇꜱᴛɪɴʏ ꜱᴇʀɪᴇꜱ 🌷Complete
