Emotion Anesthesia Journey
The worst punishment isn't pain. It's nothing at all.
Growing up in the Agarwal household, Ivnat learned early that emotions are a liability. Her father, Amar, dictates their life through corporate memos and cold critique, while her mother, Nalini, weaponizes her love for golden-boy Aryan, using her daughter as the invisible scapegoat.
To survive the constant emotional warfare and her mother's crushing narcissism, Ivnat has mastered the art of shutting down. Her emotional world is a flatline-a necessary anesthesia to keep the toxic family drama from breaking her entirely.
But when an unexpected crisis forces her to look inward, she realizes the price of her numbness: she can no longer feel joy, love, or even sadness. She is a ghost in her own life.
The walls she built to keep the monsters out are now walls holding her prisoner.
Can a girl who has spent a lifetime running from emotion figure out how to reclaim her heart before she loses her soul forever?

For Her
A cliché story about mother remarry into the richest family. Getting step brothers and family. if u read this much and still interested then..... This story is about how a girl who is too withdrawn to herself because of past trauma.Only have her mother,who is about to get married.And thus she is about to get not juts a step father and brother, but also 2 more mother figures and father figures and totally 8 older brothers. and its about how they bring her real confident self. i told u it's cliche. no romance between brother and sister. pure sibling love. There will be mention of sexual abuse and harassment related words and scenarios. this is my first time writing. Not that interested in writing. but i read wattpad to escape reality. so this is also something to escape reality. English is not really my language so there will be grammatical mistakes. And also i don't know much about indian culture. So the place may have real world name but it have imaginary features. Sorry...... So don't go for logic in the palces and all. and since my goal is to escape reality my story will also be like that. so i welcome those of nearly my same mindset who wants to escape reality.by reading wattpad.

Yet, behind her glowing career lies a storm she cannot debug-a toxic relationship with Rahul, her long-time boyfriend. What started as love has now turned into control, manipulation, and emotional abuse. Rahul chips away at her confidence, his venom seeping into every corner of her life. The late-night arguments, the subtle gaslighting, the constant reminders that she's "not enough" they weigh heavier than her demanding career and the politics of the IT world. As Ananya battles deadlines and office challenges, she also fights a silent war within herself: to stay or to break free. When she finally decides to confront the toxicity, her life begins to unravel-but so does her strength. Determined to rise above the chaos, Ananya walks away from the relationship that once defined her. She throws herself into a new IT firm, carving her identity on her own terms. No longer tethered to Rahul's shadow, she becomes a symbol of resilience-proving that brilliance, courage, and independence can outshine the darkest bonds. "Freed" isn't just her story it's a revelation. It's about breaking free from the chains of manipulation, rewriting your own code, and finding the courage to live unapologetically.Complete
HEALING IN HER ARMS
Rihaan : "Anya is like the sun... she's the one who makes everything warm and bright, even when I'm scared. I think, if I hold onto her long enough, maybe the world will stay like that-soft and warm, and I won't have to worry about the dark." Ananya : "I would break myself a thousand times if it meant he could stay unbroken. His heart is a fragile thing, and mine will always be the shield that holds him safe from a world that doesn't deserve his light." _______ In the sequel to Innocence, life for Ananya and Rihaan is messy, yet beautifully tangled. Their days are filled with laughter, love, and the subtle ache of a past Rihaan can't fully recall. Ananya, ever the protector, cherishes his innocence, but beneath the childlike demeanor lies a brokenness he's unable to confront. One day, the cracks in Rihaan's facade begin to show. His playful nature falters, and the depth of his trauma surfaces. Ananya is forced to confront a truth she's long feared: Rihaan's past is far darker than she ever imagined. When Raj, Rihaan's brother, finally reveals the horrors he endured in his childhood, Ananya makes it her mission to heal him, to strip away the layers of pain and replace them with love. But Rihaan's mind-torn between the child he once was and the man he's supposed become-resists. The harder Ananya tries, the deeper the battle becomes, as Rihaan's past and present collide in ways neither of them can control. In the end, can love heal what the mind refuses to remember? Or will the ghosts of his past break them both?
Mahobbat ka Ehsaas
She believes life is a story written by the divine - unpredictable, bittersweet, but always worth living. He treats life like a battlefield - calculated, silent, and often, lonely. Ehsaas Kaur, a spirited first-year AFMC cadet, walks through life with stars in her eyes and mischief in her smile. Her laughter hides stories she never speaks of, and her loyalty begins and ends with her family. Drawing, dreaming, an defying the norm - she's the kind of girl who leaves sunshine in her wake. Avyakt Singh, a no-nonsense, steel-hearted 4th term NDA cadet, is her polar opposite. Raised by his grandparents after a tragic loss, he wears silence like a second skin. Disciplined to the core, poetic in private, he's a man whose eyes have seen too much, and whose heart trusts too little. They meet by accident - a holiday, a park, a moment. Banter turns to bickering. Sparks to silences. Distance to a strange kind of closeness. But theirs is not a story of fireworks. It's a story of slow-burning embers - of two souls who never looked for love, yet slowly find it in the cracks of each other's armor. As duty calls and miles stretch long, as fears rise and pasts unravel - they learn that love doesn't always arrive loudly. Sometimes, it grows quietly. Like trust. Like healing. Like home. A journey of becoming - not just officers, but people who feel deeply, fall slowly, and love relentlessly.
