Anastacia Graham had always lived in a world where pain didn't exist.
It wasn't that she was strong or particularly brave-it was simply that her body had forgotten the meaning of discomfort. From the moment she was born, her condition, Congenital Analgesia, marked her life in ways that no one could understand. Her nerves were wired differently. They didn't send the usual signals to her brain when her body was injured. For Anastacia, pain was a concept-something that existed in the lives of others, but never in hers.
In a world where she couldn't feel physical pain, Anastacia was about to discover something far more complicated: the heart's pain-and whether she could truly open herself to it.

She looked at him as he approached, her eyes filled with exhaustion and something else-gratitude. "You didn't have to come," she murmured weakly. Gautam sat down beside her, reaching for her hand. "Of course, I did," he said softly. "Who else would?" Nandini blinked back tears, her fingers curling around his hand. They didn't say more, but in that silence, something shifted between them-a bridge over the hurt, a small step toward healing.Complete
Soft Silence
"𝐼𝑛 𝑎 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑙𝑑 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑛𝑠, 𝑠ℎ𝑒'𝑠 𝑚𝑦 𝑠𝑢𝑛." 𝘿𝙞𝙮𝙖 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 is kind, too kind and strong in the way that makes people forget she bleeds too. Love was never expected, only endurance. So when her father asked her to marry she nodded... not out of hope, but habit. 𝙑𝙚𝙙𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙈𝙖𝙡𝙝𝙤𝙩𝙧𝙖, grew up in a home that taught him how to build empires but never taught him how to ask for a hug. Marriage was never part of the plan until a hospital room, a fading pulse, and the one man he could never disappoint whispered a final wish. Neither expected warmth. Neither expected understanding. And they definitely didn't expect comfort in each's other's silence. A tale of quiet yearning- an arranged marriage where silence becomes a language and love sneaks in when no one's looking. - M 💌

To Heal Is To Hurt
what if healing someone gave you their pain? and what if taking someone's pain meant you were permanently stuck with it? A wish was made, and the world was given these conditions after years of healers being constantly used. what happens to those in pain? what happens to those who wish to have no pain? In this world lived two sisters, May and Fea.

It's becoming fatal. but after everything May has lost, her dreams, her time, her true love, she can't risk losing her sister too. but would helping her take her own life or just make both of them suffer?

The Last Heir
Lyra Hart was born into a world of abundance. An only child of wealthy parents, she knew nothing but laughter, security, and affection. Her family was the kind others envied-not because of their fortune, but because of their bond. Though the Harts lived in a grand estate and traveled in luxury, their home was never cold. Every hallway echoed with warmth, every holiday brimming with joy. To Lyra, her parents were her world. Her father, steady and gentle, made promises as grand as castles. Her mother, radiant and nurturing, filled her days with songs and stories. They spoiled her with love more than riches, ensuring she never felt like an heir, only like a child cherished beyond measure. Their lives seemed untouchable, their happiness unbreakable. But perfection is fragile. At the age of eight, Lyra's fairy-tale life ended on a rain-slick road during what was supposed to be a simple family vacation. The crash came swiftly, cruelly, leaving her the sole survivor. That night, Lyra inherited everything: the family name, the fortune, the estate. But in truth, what she inherited most was silence. Wealth could not fill the emptiness of their absence, and love could not be replaced by marble halls or the watchful eyes of distant relatives. Lyra's story is not one of riches, but of survival. Of learning how to carry the unbearable weight of loss. Of finding light again in the shadows left behind.Complete
