Rain Again (Completed)
Highest Ranking on hotlist: #1 #Wattpad Exclusive Story #New paid exclusive chapters available Her confusion multiplied, looking at the unrefined fury in his eyes, the seriousness and finality in his features. "I seriously am clueless here, Alex. What is it that I've done?" she asked. "Tell me." "This." he threw some photos her way. Shaken by Alex's behavior, Kate snapped her face back as some of the photos slapped across her cheek. They crawled down in the air to slowly settle around her feet. He looked away from her like she had burned him. And Kate couldn't help but feel her insides tremor. Instincts screamed at her that a storm had indeed entered her life with the intent to harm the love that she and Alex shared. Bending down slowly, she reached out with trembling hands; she picked up one of the photos from the floor and froze. In the photo, Neil, her best friend, and she was making out. Kate remembered this moment, but it was nothing like this. Lifting her eyes from the photo where she had apparently locked lips with Neil, Kate looked back up into Alex's eyes and got scared out of her wits. The eyes where used to be only love and affection for her. There, those emotions were now replaced with endless hatred only. ~Nothing lasts forever; people change, and so change their lives.~ Kate thought she had one forever with Alex, but that forever came to an end too soon. When she was about to tell him the news of her pregnancy, what she expected was his elation and love, never had she thought that she would be punished instead. Thrown to the street literally, she lost everything she held dear. ~Memories never fade, and pain can never be forgotten.~ And then, one day, Alex enters her life again, this time aiming to break more than her heart. He believed she was his unfaithful wife, only to see the truth when the destruction was complete. Prequel: In the Rain (ongoing) Sequel: And Then it Rained (ongoing)Abgeschlossene Geschichte

His Bride
Rheyan Kaur is a name that appears in headlines, in courtroom whispers, and behind the cold glass walls of government interrogation chambers. A criminal psychologist at the peak of his career, he reads minds for a living - broken ones, violent ones, ones that kill without blinking. But beneath his surgical precision and calculated silences lies a man haunted by a past he won't speak of, and a desire he refuses to name. Until her. Ira, a trauma counselor for victims of abuse, walks through grief every day and teaches others how to survive it. She smiles gently, listens deeply, and forgets herself in the process. What no one sees is the exhaustion in her silence - the price of holding pain that isn't hers, and the fear that she's never really escaped her own. They meet in a moment neither of them planned - at a wedding neither of them belong to - and what begins as a glance becomes the seed of obsession. Rheyan knows what he saw in her eyes: hesitation, ache, and a scream that never made it to her lips. Ira doesn't know who the man in the shadows was. But he already knew her name. Already felt the ache of wanting to protect her - or possess her - without even touching her. As their paths collide again, drawn by fate or something darker, they spiral into a world where trust is dangerous, intimacy is weaponized, and the wounds they didn't give each other begin to bleed. This is not a love story. It's a slow undoing. Of restraint. Of silence. Of two people too damaged to be whole, but too obsessed to walk away.Abgeschlossene Geschichte

SHADOWS OF BROTHERHOOD
He wasn't the favorite. He wasn't the golden child. But he was the one who bled. When everything around him begins to crumble-family, love, and the secrets of a buried past-Ryan is forced to face a darkness he thought he'd left behind. What happens when the person they never really understood... becomes the only one who can save them? But saving them comes with a price. And some prices leave scars that even time can't heal. A story of sacrifice, forgotten memories, and a boy who was never supposed to be the hero. The boy they misunderstood. The one who laughed the loudest to hide the silence inside. The one who acted tough because no one noticed when he was gentle. The one who was always "too much"-too angry, too lost, too broken to fix. He was the black sheep. The storm in a house that only wanted sunshine. The one they blamed but never truly understood. They didn't know he cried himself to sleep at night. Didn't know he whispered "I'm sorry" to the shadows of parents he lost too young. Didn't know he carried the ache of abandonment in his bones every day. And when he finally found the truth-when he discovered who murdered them- he didn't hesitate. Not once.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
