Ashes Under Vermillion
Ashes Under Vermillion Some love stories don't burn bright. They smolder... quietly... until everything turns to ash. Ira Sen, a fearless investigative journalist, is forced into a marriage with Ahaan Malhotra-the heir of a powerful business empire built on secrets. What begins as a reluctant union slowly transforms into something deeper, as Ira finds herself drawn to the man behind the arrogance. But just when trust begins to bloom, truth intervenes. While uncovering a decades-old conspiracy tied to Ahaan's father, Ira chooses silence to protect the man she loves-only to be met with betrayal. In a moment of rage and blind faith in his family, Ahaan shatters everything between them, leaving Ira to walk away... carrying more than just heartbreak. Years later, fate forces them to stand face to face again-no longer as lovers, but as strangers bound by a past that refuses to stay buried. Ira has rebuilt her life, her strength, and her identity, while Ahaan has risen from the ruins of his fallen empire, now a man shaped by regret. But when the truth finally surfaces-and with it, a child that connects them in ways words cannot undo-their worlds collide once more. This is not a story of easy forgiveness. Not a tale where love alone is enough. It is a story about: Trust that was never honored Love that came too late And the unbearable weight of realization Because sometimes... you don't lose someone when they leave. You lose them- when you fail to stand beside them when it mattered most.Complete
A Tale of Guilty
I faintly remember reading somewhere that there are three parties involved in Abuse. An abuser, a victim and an observer. If even one of them was brave enough to defend the wrong , then the heinous crime would have not occurred. I am not an Abuser but none less than one because I just stood there and watched. I didn't even raise a faint cry when they were mercilessly attacking their victim. I had the means and influence to stop but I chose not to. He was right as I am worse than them, a selfish coward. I hid behind petty excuse of my weak self while they burned their prey into ashes. Those ashes were taken away by tide of time, leaving nothing behind. All I could do was mourn over the loss. I stayed strong, believing against all odds that phoenix will arise from those forsaken ashes. I know when karma hits, I will also be on receiving end. Yet I prayed and waited, for his return.

Don't Leave Me! #WattpadIndiaAwards
Looking at the bright sun, which is not so bright right now hiding itself to create darkness all around totally makes me think about my present situation. I heard that sound of footsteps entering the room, so I turned around and said, "Hey!" "Don't start now. You will get your wish soon." he said removing his coat. "We can't!" I said, looking at him. "What do you mean? All these days you are asking nothing but for divorce papers. Now they will reach you in a few days for sure. Now why are you saying we can't?" he asked with a completely blank expression. "I am pregnant!" I mumbled. "What?" he asked, stepping towards me in shock. "I.Am.Pregnant!" I said each word with force and then let the darkness consume me.Complete
