THE ROSE

~Bound by blood, separated by wounds.

They call her ROSE.
Beautiful from afar, deadly when you get too close.
At just fifteen, Aarya Rathore became a name whispered through the underworld. Nobody knew who she really was, but everyone knew one thing-if ROSE appeared, something was about to change.
But before the world feared ROSE, she was simply Aarya.
A daughter.
A sister.
A girl who had a family she loved more than anything.

Until one incident changed her life forever.
Her mother died.
Her family survived.
And somehow, Aarya became the one they blamed.
The same family she once called home slowly became the family she could no longer reach.
Yet behind the girl they see today is someone they don't know anymore.
Sweet. Loving. Caring. Kind.
But deadly when pushed too far.

She is just like a rose-beautiful and attractive from the petals, but from the stem, the thorns are sharp enough to draw blood.

The world knows her as ROSE.
Her family knows her as Aarya.
But there is a story behind that name.
A story of love, loss, family, secrets and wounds that never truly healed.

So what really happened that day?
What made a girl lose her family while still having them alive?
And how did Aarya become ROSE?

Maybe to understand the thorns, you first need to know what happened to the flower.
