The doorbell doesn't ring at midnight at the end of a lonely lane. But when it does, and you find a long-lost cousin soaked to the bone on your porch, you let her in. That's what Maya does when her cousin Anya appears with a desperate plea for shelter.
But Anya remembers things she shouldn't-like an old armchair Maya just bought. And in the guest room, furniture moves on its own, and lost objects from Maya's past begin to reappear, arranged like offerings.
As the strange occurrences escalate, Maya's husband, David, dismisses her fears, insisting there is no spare room at all... only a closet. With her grip on reality slipping, Maya discovers a hidden journal that unveils a terrifying truth. The house is hiding a secret, and so is her own mind.
In a race against her own sanity, Maya must uncover the answer to one chilling question: Is she being haunted by a ghost, or by a memory she has buried for twenty years?
A psychological thriller with a twist that will make you question everything.

The Gospel of a Mafia Princess
Raised to be holy. Born into something far more dangerous. Seventeen year old, Evienne Ellery spent her life preparing for heaven. Sent away to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps by distant, unfeeling adoptive parents, she was raised by nuns and priests to be obedient, submissive and small. Behind stone chapels and cold classrooms, Evienne learned early that love was conditional, punishment was holy, and suffering was something to be endured quietly Her future was simple: be good, be faithful, and one day do her duty-marry a man who would secure her family's interests. Her life was planned. Controlled. Perfect. Until it wasn't. When everything she knows collapses, Evienne is torn from the only world she has ever known and sent to live with her biological family-six brothers who are loud, vulgar, violent, and unapologetically criminal. They don't pray. They don't obey. And they certainly don't believe in God the way she was taught. They believe in blood. With them, she learns the truth of who she really is: The lost princess of one of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Her brothers have been searching for her for years, and now that they've found her, they refuse to lose her again. In their world of power, crime, and betrayals, Evienne learns that love doesn't always look gentle-and protection often comes with a body count. But as old family feuds resurface, enemies close in, and the past she was hidden from begins to reach for her, Evienne is forced to confront an impossible question: What happens when the people you love will never be welcome in heaven-and you're no longer sure you want to go without them?

Long Overdue <Fnaf- Toy Chica x Jeremy>
One of the smaller ships in the FNAF fandom is Toy Chica x Jeremy. I personally LOVE this shipping; ive seen some really cute fanarts for it. I wanted to see this ship sail, so i looked up some fanfictions for it (on various websites). In the end, none met how i see Jeremy and TC's relationship working out. So i wrote this mini fanfic. Its not some lemon, its just an adoreable little fanfiction about an adoreable little coward and an adoreable little loudmouth. ~Enjoy!Complete

But the day I saw her everything changed. Ananya Aradhya Singhania. She didn't look at me like I was a throne to sit on. She looked at me like I was just a man. No greed in her eyes. No calculation. No hunger for status. Just calm. Just grace. Just something untouched by this fake world. She doesn't try to impress me. Maybe that's why I lost. This isn't attraction. This isn't ego. This is love. For the first time in my life, I don't want to conquer. I want to protect. And I swear on my life- my only aim now is to stand between her and every storm. If loving her means becoming softer, then I'll become softer. ╰┈➤ ANANYA ARADHYA SINGHANIA [22] University student ,princess of jaipur I hate royal blood. People think royalty means grace and power. I think-it means [secrets and betrayal]. I was just 10 when my mother died. after 1 year , my father married to my mother 's assistant. Everyone called it fate. I call it murder.

In this world, I only care about two people: my brother, the present King of Jaipur - the only exception - and my best friend, Meera Mehra The rest of the royal world? Keep it away from me. Especially him. Ekansh Singh Ranawat. He roams around me like some bhatakti aatma. What does he think - that he's some king or something? Well... technically he is. But that doesn't impress me. Royal blood is dangerous. And I promised myself I'd never let it rule my heart. No crown is worth my peace. No king is worth my trust.
