Title : The Lady by The Beach series
Author : Arasis
In the silence of a photography studio on Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman, one phone call changes everything for Irfan. The inheritance his grandfather left behind in Tanjung Sepat is not merely an old house-it is a doorway to family secrets buried for seven generations.
On Selangor's coast where sea winds whisper, a shed holds a green Vespa that should not still gleam after decades of abandonment. Within the ancestral house at Lot 13-a lot that exists on no official map-time moves to a different rhythm. And on the black sand beach that can only be reached when the moon smiles in the sky, someone waits who has long been lost but never truly gone.
Set against Malaysia from the 1990s to the 2020s, this novel traces a young photographer's journey as he must choose between ordinary city life or inheriting the mystical bonds that tie his family to realms invisible to mortal sight. When the boundaries between real and unreal begin to blur, Irfan must face the truth that some love transcends death, and some promises cannot be broken-even when they demand unimaginable sacrifice.
A story of haunting love, challenging inheritance, and heart-rending nostalgia-written with the exquisite subtlety of high literary prose that captivates the soul.
Malaysian Gothic at its finest-where ancestral devotion becomes beautiful terror, and the weight of inherited silence demands its price.
"There are things deeper than the ocean, things darker than the sea floor... but the deepest and darkest lie within the human heart."

Broken Bloom
Some loves are forbidden not by society-but by the ghosts we carry within. Shaina Suyesh was never meant to be here-not in Darjeeling, not in this borrowed life, not holding a title she never asked for. But fate doesn't wait for permission. Torn away from her dreams and the warmth of her grandmother's home in Kumaon, Shaina arrives in the mist-draped hill town, carrying more than just packed bags-she carries guilt, grief, and a heart that's learning how to be lonely. She was prepared for solitude. She wasn't prepared for Madhav. Mysterious, unattainable, and tangled in the very threads of the life she's trying to survive-his presence both soothes and complicates everything. With every fleeting moment, every shared silence, and every accidental touch, she finds herself pulled toward a love that feels as forbidden as it is fated. But in a world built on secrets, where even rain seems to remember the past... how do you hold on to something that was never meant to be yours? A story about longing, memory, and the ache of falling for someone you can't have-set in the quiet chaos of Darjeeling's rain-kissed corners.
Scarred For Life
*Could you ever love a broken person?* "I understand that you're broken," he said as he lifted her chin so she stared directly into his eyes. "But I want you to understand that it is my job to restore the happiness you lost. I am your husband now, Afrah. And it is my responsibility to make you happy. So that is my mission from now until the end of time." Afrah stared down at her hands, feeling as though her soul was being wrenched from her body. She couldn't look him in the eye. Not after what she had gone through. Not when she still saw the devil in his eyes. * It is said that the most painful wounds leave the deepest scars. No one could attest to that more than Afrah Aminu. For eleven years she's kept a secret to herself, knowing that she might never be able to tell anyone. Not that she wanted to. But now, with the sudden arrival of a strange man in her life, she finds herself thrown into the terrifying situation of having to relive it all. As he tears down each and every wall she has set up around her heart, the memories of that haunting night come crashing in waves. Will she be able to survive it? Or will she be crushed underneath its weight?Complete

"Destiny didn't choose her. It cursed her." Dominant ML & Dominant FL. ( Mafia King ×Lawyer) ✨ She was destiny's forgotten child. The girl no one chose. The bloodline no one claimed. The truth the world buried. *ANANYA SHARMA*- innocent, soft, broken, healing... living a life made of lies and held together by borrowed love. And between all that darkness, one boy stood beside her like a quiet protector. *Ishaan Thakkar*-her best friend, her safest place, the silent devotion that never asked for anything in return. He loved her the way prayers love temples- softly, secretly, endlessly. But fate had other plans. Darker plans. ✨He was the devil Banaras whispered about. The man who ruled fear. The shadow the city bowed to. *VARDAN SINGH RATHORE*- obsessed, dangerous, untouchable... haunted by the little girl who once saved him, claimed by her before she even knew his name. She didn't know he watched her grow. He didn't know she carried the lineage he wanted to destroy. She trusted him with her scars. He trusted her with his silence. She learned to love again in his arms. He learned to breathe again because of her. But the truth always returns. She was the one he was sworn to kill. And he was the man she was destined to fear. . . One man waiting with open hands. One man burning the world to get her back. This isn't a love story. It's the curse three souls inherited. The bond she never chose. The war they were born into. The longing none of them can escape. Because some people aren't meant to love freely- they are meant to love tragically. She was his- since the moment she saved him. Since the moment she broke. Since the moment he broke. But she was also the only heartbeat Ishaan ever prayed for. In a world where blood decides loyalty and destiny chooses enemies... They were the Unchosen Ones. Bound. Damned. And cursed to love in all the wrong ways- where choosing one man means destroying the other. #1 in new story 🎀
