The Imprint You Left in Me
"I was trying to stop you from embarrassing yourself," he said quietly. "But you-" He ran a hand through his hair, frustration showing in his voice. "You always have to fight back. Always need to prove something." Meher looked at him, her eyes wide with disbelief. "You think I was trying to prove something? Do you hear yourself? Jin, I was just trying to live." Her voice cracked. "I was just trying to be me." Jin clenched his jaw. Why was this so hard? "Then maybe you should stop expecting everyone to get you," he said, his tone sharper than he meant. "Not everyone has to like you, Meher." She sucked in a breath, pain flashing across her face before she quickly hid it. "And what about you? You've made it clear that you don't like me either." Jin opened his mouth, then shut it. He should just say yes and end it here. That would be the smart thing to do. But he didn't. Because the truth was-he didn't hate her. He hated the way she made him feel. The way she made him see things he didn't want to deal with. The way she pushed him to face his own truth. He wanted to say it, but his pride held him back. So instead, he let out a hard breath and changed the subject. "Get up and come to the car. We have to go home." Meher gave a dry, cold laugh and shook her head. "See? You can't even deny it." Two strangers from two different worlds - one from the vibrant lanes of India, the other from the unforgiving spotlight of Korea's music industry. Neither was looking for the other. Neither was ready. But fate doesn't wait for readiness. Bound by their families yet divided by misunderstandings, their hearts clash and collide - love weaving itself between resentment and longing, leaving imprints neither of them asked for. When past wounds and hidden truths threaten to tear them apart, will they hold on to what they've become to each other - or let go of the only person who ever left a mark that mattered?

Held in Violent Hands
"Fine," she said. "If you won't take me seriously like this, I'll go put on my mafia outfit." Sloane squinted at her. "Your what?" "My mafia outfit." Before either of them could stop her, Lila jumped off the bed and ran out of the room. ____ Three minutes later, Lila came back. And Blair nearly spat out her coffee. Because apparently, "mafia outfit" meant she had dressed entirely in black-black cargo pants, a black long-sleeve shirt, black socks, and... Sunglasses. Inside. At breakfast time. Lila stood in the doorway like she had just stepped out of the world's least threatening action movie. "Well?" Sloane looked at her for a long moment. Then at Blair. Then back at Lila. "...No." Lila frowned. "What do you mean no?!" "I mean you look like a twelve-year-old trying to rob a gas station."![ကျုပ်မြတ်နိုးရပါသော ဒေါက်တာ [ Completed ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/410650656-256-k302692.jpg)

The Sister They Left Behind
"They didn't stop loving her... They just stopped believing her." Ruhanika Rajvansh-Ruhi-wasn't just the only sister of the Rajvansh brothers; she was their heartbeat, their happiness, and the little princess they had once sworn to protect forever. Until one lie changed everything. At the age of twelve, Ruhi was accused of a mistake she never committed. The five brothers who had once promised to stand beside her chose silence over trust and punishment over love. Without listening to her, they sent her away, believing they were teaching their stubborn little sister a lesson. But they never realized... They weren't sending away a mistake. They were leaving behind the soul of their family. Ten years later, the innocent little girl is gone. In her place stands Ruhanika Rajvansh-a world-renowned fashion designer, the CEO of a global fashion empire, and a woman who has built a life without the people who once meant everything to her. When destiny brings the Rajvansh family back into her life, the truth they buried for years finally comes to light. She was innocent. Now, the brothers who once let her go are willing to sacrifice everything to bring their sister home. But what if "home" no longer exists for her? What if someone else has already become her family? And what if the only person who can reach the broken pieces of her heart is the man who lovingly calls her... "Rooh." A heart-wrenching story of unconditional love, shattered trust, unbearable regret, healing, and second chances-where some promises are broken, some bonds are tested, and some scars never truly fade.
