Anathalia Lavimoure had it all-fame, fortune, and a face plastered across billboards and movie screens. But behind the glamorous facade was a self-absorbed, sharp-tongued diva who was used to getting her way and never hearing the word no. As one of the most controversial figures in the industry, she'd made enemies in every corner-enemies who didn't just gossip behind her back, but were now actively hunting her down. Forced out of her luxurious life and into a nightmare she never imagined, Anathalia was suddenly on the run, desperate and terrified, with nowhere to hide and no one left to trust.
Once a man with a future, Elias had been wrongfully convicted and left to rot in a prison cell for a crime he didn't commit. By the time he got out, the world had forgotten him-and he wanted nothing to do with it anyway. Hardened by betrayal and injustice, Elias had built walls no one could climb and trusted no one but himself. He had no interest in heroes or saving anyone. And yet, when fate threw a panicked, designer-heeled Anathalia into his path, running for her life, he didn't walk away.
Maybe it was the fear in her eyes. Maybe it was the way her bravado crumbled in the face of real danger. Or maybe, deep down, Elias just couldn't turn his back on someone who felt what he had once felt-helpless, cornered, and utterly alone.
Now bound by necessity and danger, the spoiled starlet and the bitter ex-con must rely on each other to survive. But as bullets fly and secrets unravel, the line between protection and connection begins to blur-and neither of them is ready for what that might mean.

𝐀𝐜𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬
Reyansh×Aarini Some accidents aren't just fate-they're a storm written in destiny. When fiery, stubborn Aarini Mehta crashes-quite literally-into Reyansh Oberoi's perfectly calculated life, she doesn't expect her world to spiral into chaos. He's the last person she wants to be tangled with: arrogant, insufferable, and hiding a darkness behind those unreadable eyes. She calls him "Ostrich" for his overconfident head-in-the-clouds attitude. He calls her "Troublemaker","wildcat"-because that's what she brings into his life. He was chaos in a crisp suit. She was fire wrapped in silence. Their story was never meant to be gentle. From the moment their eyes locked, it was war. He was arrogant. Annoying. Unbearably handsome. She was fiery. Stubborn. A walking headache. They clashed like thunder-every encounter more explosive than the last. They argue like it's a sport. They fight like they breathe. And yet, something burns beneath every sarcastic word, every stolen glance. Reyansh is the kind of man who hides danger beneath charm, secrets beneath his smirk-and obsession behind his eyes. And somewhere between their heated arguments and forced encounters, he begins to crave her in ways even he doesn't understand. Then one promise changes everything. One deal that tilts the axis of her world. She agrees to give in to one demand. But Reyansh Oberoi doesn't play fair. And when he wants something-he takes it. Even if it means forcing her into his world, his rules... his arms. But the scariest part? She's starting to feel the same. But Aarini has secrets too. Dark ones. Deep ones. And the more Reyansh uncovers, the more dangerous his love becomes. He's possessive. Dangerously patient. "Accidentally Yours" is a slow-burn dark romance where enemies turn to something more twisted, more tangled-and far more addictive. With hidden pasts, sizzling tension, and a love that was never soft, this story isn't about falling. It's about crashing. Start Date :- 29/06/202
BOUND BY FATE- IGNITED BY FIRE
Samaira lived her life bound by her father's expectations, always doing what was right. When he introduced her to Harsh, she never expected to fall for him. But just as love began to bloom, a decade-old promise shattered her world-forcing her into an engagement with Ryan Raichand, her cold, enigmatic boss and a billionaire in the gemstone industry. Ryan never wanted marriage, especially not with a woman already in love with someone else. Yet, he couldn't escape the weight of his father's word, a promise tying him to Samaira in a fate neither of them chose. Their engagement became a battlefield-filled with icy stares, clashing wills, and a pull neither of them wanted to acknowledge. Resentment simmered, unspoken emotions waged war between them, and yet, something even more dangerous lurked in the shadows. As Ryan's enemies surface, the danger becomes all too real. Ruthless rivals circle, but the real threat isn't from the outside-it's someone much closer, watching, waiting, playing a long game neither of them saw coming. As secrets unravel and betrayals cut deep, Ryan finds himself tested-his strength, his loyalty, and an unexpected protectiveness over the woman he never wanted but can no longer ignore. In a world where love and betrayal collide, Samaira and Ryan must navigate a web of deception before it's too late. But when the final truth is revealed, will their fragile bond survive-or will it shatter along with everything they once believed?Complete

Secrets, Darkness, and...Stalker
"What are you thinking about?" Enzo says stepping over to sit next to me. "Huh" I remark and glance at him. "When you're thinking about something, you scrunch your nose up and tighten your brows. But you're also biting your lips, so it must be something serious, or are you nervous?" He says, and I just stare at him, shocked. "Am I that easy to read?" I inquire, and he laughs. "Not when you're on your period or when you're hungry. Can't tell whether you like me or want to kill me." He says and I laugh and hit his shoulder. "Am I that bad?" I say "Uh, yeah. I feel like if I don't have a sandwich made in 15 seconds when your moody, I'll be in deep shit." He says.

Ashes of the Vow
An assassin with secrets. A man with scars. Love was never supposed to be part of the deal. "We can't," he said, his voice rough but final. The rejection was a physical blow. Humiliation, hot and sharp, washed over me, followed immediately by a fury so intense it blurred my vision. I released his jacket like it was on fire, snatching my hand back from his chest. Of course. Of course. I shoved open the van door, the metal screeching in protest. I practically fell out into the garage, needing to put distance between us, needing to breathe air he hadn't just stolen from my lungs. "Thorn-" he began, his voice following me out. I spun around, cutting him off. The words came out laced with a venom I didn't entirely feel, a weapon to match the hurt. "Don't. Just... don't." I was furious. Furious at him for starting it. Furious at him for stopping. But most of all, I was furious at myself. Furious for wanting it. For leaning in. For letting him make me feel, for one stupid second, like I was cared for. When Thorn-an elite assassin with too many secrets-collapses on the doorstep of Ash Penbrook, she expects death, not rescue. Ash is a powerful businessman with his own scars and a vendetta against the same organization Thorn once served. Forced into an uneasy alliance, their world becomes a battlefield of ambushes, betrayals, and buried truths. Survival draws them closer, but trust is dangerous-and love even more so. As enemies close in, both must decide: are they each other's salvation...or the final weapon that will destroy them?
