His Transformation: From Control To Surrender by authourShreya

Vardhan: Money and power rule this world. With them, you can have anything you want. Ruhani: "Pyaar bhi?" ("Love too?") Vardhan: smirks faintly "Who even wants it?" Ruhani (thinking): Then why are you forcing me into this marriage? I don't want a life without love... a loveless bond. Vardhan (in his mind): To own you. To control the chaos you've brought into my world. You're the only thing I can't command... and that drives me mad, sweetheart. *** Vardhan Ranavat, 32 - the ruthless CEO of Ranavat Group. Powerful, disciplined, and commanding, he believes everything can be bought and controlled. Conquest is his nature and power his instinct; surrender, his weakness. Ruhani Sharma, 26 - a woman of quiet grace and unshakable integrity. A government officer by day and a tarot reader by night, she lives by truth, not convenience. Beneath her calm lies silent strength and a heart that longs for peace, not power. She seeks not luxury, but truth, respect, and love that feels like home. When Vardhan first hears her voice, something inside him fractures. It begins as fascination, deepens into obsession, and soon consumes his every waking thought. She becomes his calm-and his chaos. But Ruhani does not yield easily. And when persuasion fails, he does what he knows best-he takes control. He forces her into marriage, convinced that possessing her will bring peace to his restless mind. But what he doesn't foresee is how her silence will speak louder than defiance, how her quiet strength will challenge everything he's ever believed about power, love, and surrender. When control begins to crumble into longing, and obsession turns to vulnerability-who truly holds the power? Will Ruhani's strength tame the man who knows no restraint - or will love become just another battlefield where hearts are broken and boundaries blurred? A dark, compelling tale of two souls bound by destiny and divided by desire-where love isn't tender, and surrender isn't weakness.

At twenty-three, Althea feels like the world has turned its back on her. Orphaned young and raised by her ailing grandmother, she carries the weight of rejection after rejection, each failed job application a reminder of her dwindling hope. All she wants is one chance - one reason to believe her persistence matters. But when an accident shatters her first day of work, Althea awakens in a realm beyond death. There, she is confronted by the God of Death himself, who reveals that her cries for help have been heard - not by fate, but by him. Faced with the horrifying truth of her own mangled body, Althea is given a choice: Accept judgment like every other soul, risking eternal punishment... Or swear an oath as a Soul Collector, a Grim Reaper tasked with guiding the dead to their final fate. Haunted, terrified, yet desperate to protect her grandmother and cling to life, Althea accepts the offer. Reborn into a double existence - one as an ordinary woman, the other as a reaper bound to death - she must navigate the weight of her new responsibility. But being chosen is not a blessing. Dark spirits lurk at the edges of her vision. The line between the living and the dead grows thin. And the oath she has taken binds her to secrets that could consume her soul. In a world where every choice tips the scale between life and death, Althea must learn that survival is no longer about finding a job - it's about keeping her humanity while serving the God of Death himself.

Behind the shimmering empire of Rai Couture, the world's most exclusive fashion house, hides a darker truth - one stitched in blood, secrets, and revenge. Ekalavya Raivansh, 29, rules both the runway and the underworld. Cold, controlled, and untouchable, he's a man whose name commands silence. To the world, he's elegance personified - to those who cross him, he's destruction wrapped in velvet. Then comes Anaya Verdan, 20 - a quiet, sensitive medical student with a heart too tender for the chaos that surrounds her. Orphaned young, she grew up in an NGO run by Ekalavya's mother before being adopted into the Raivansh family. To everyone, she's his sister. To him, she's the one mistake he can't afford to make. And to fate... she's the girl whose life is bound to his darkest sin. When a twisted web of jealousy forces them into marriage, Ekalavya vows it's for revenge - to punish her for trespassing into a world she never belonged to. But every day she spends beneath his roof - cooking for him, avoiding his gaze, trying to understand his silence - the walls around his heart begin to crack. Until the day she discovers the truth. The truth that her parents' death was tied to him. And love turns into war. In a world of power, lies, and whispered desire can two broken souls stitched together by fate survive the truth that could destroy them both? Tropes Slow burn / forbidden love Adopted sister x cold heir Found family turned lovers Grumpy x sunshine Unrequited love (turned mutual) Mafia with a heart / morally grey hero Hidden scars, secret soft spots He protects her from the dark he lives in "I hate how much I need you" energy

Whispers in the Shadows: Act I by WolfKing0

Once, Lirama believed in redemption. Now, she believes in survival. Bound by blood and shadow to a power that should not speak, she walks the edges of Faerûn-neither servant nor free, both a phylactery and a rebellion. When whispers of an ancient evil rise once more, she knows the truth: this is no war of kingdoms, no tale of heroes. It is rot festering beneath the world's skin. To stop it, she does not call on saints-but on the broken. A cursed assassin hunted by her past. A half-elf torn between night and moonlight. A storm-kissed sorceress who fears what she seeks. A fallen princess crowned in shadow. A charming barbarian fleeing legacy. An oathbreaker who still dreams of justice. Each bears a secret. Each carries a weight. And none of them walk this path for glory. As their blades are drawn and fates entwine, one truth becomes clear: Some wars are not fought in light- they are survived in shadow.

But instead of anger, her lips curved into a mischievous smile. "At least you feel something for me. And something is always better than nothing, my Love." Her voice was soft, almost dreamy, as though hatred itself was a form of intimacy for her. With that, she turned her back to him, still smiling faintly, and drifted into sleep.

The gods lied-and in their silence, they doomed us all. Zysha doesn't want to be a hero. She survived the razing of Chelloway by sheer instinct, clawing her way free with nothing but wit, grit, and a stolen bow. But when strangers start calling her a light in the dark-and something ancient grants her the power to banish the very monsters she fears-she's forced to confront a question she's never asked: what if she was meant for more? Garrend is a brute of a man with a twisted back, haunted eyes, and a voice in his head that whispers secrets even he doesn't trust. He's seen things-creatures that cannibalize their kin, that devour all but memory-and when a power not his own spares his life, he begins to suspect he's part of something far greater than survival. Bashal, a weathered sailor, once found redemption in the eyes of a man who saved him from the fire. Now that man is dead, and Bashal is left with only guilt, a tooth-carved necklace, and orders from a mysterious patron who seems to know more than she says. But the more Bashal obeys, the more he wonders if loyalty alone is enough to hold back what's coming. High above the chaos, in the glittering city of Kal'Frash, Dravira's research could change everything. Her inhalants unlock terrifying bursts of elemental power-but only for those attuned to them. When pressured to turn her work into weapons, Dravira uncovers a way to augment the vapors-one that could make anyone into a vessel of destruction. She begins to question who her work will empower... and who it will doom. Scattered across a world unraveling, each of them hears a different call. A different truth. A different promise. But none of them know the source. None of them see the hunger behind the power. And unless four fractured peoples-divided by history, blood, and belief-can find a way to blend like oil and water... The world of Kalrosh will be consumed.
