Her cursed prince I Dhruv Taara -18+
1st book of Cursed series in continuation of Shivanya series "You should stop staring at me like I'm some monster," Dhruv said coldly. Taara replied looking into his eyes "Then stop behaving like one, Rawal sa (prince) " For the first time in years... he laughed. But Dhruv didn't fall for her because she was soft. He fell because she walked straight into his darkness without trembling. "I ruin everything I touch," he warned her while caressing her cheeks Taara looked him straight in the eyes. "Then maybe I was born to survive ruin. " What Taara didn't know was - Dhruv had already decided something terrifying. He believed she was the only one who could break his curse. And he was willing to destroy the entire kingdom to keep her beside him. They called him the shadow of the kingdom. A person who doesn't have any identity of his own. Who lives under shadow of someone else. Prince Dhruv - the second prince of mahawargarh. A widower. Most intelligent and interested only in politics . A feared warrior. And the father of a five-year-old daughter who barely smiled anymore. People whispered that something inside him had died the night his wife did. But no one knew his real secret. No one knew the prince locked himself behind closed doors every night, drowning in dangerous addictions to silence the demons in his head. No one knew his hands trembled from withdrawal before battles. No one knew he believed he was cursed. And then came Taara. A maid who was too fearless for her own good. Too confident to lower her eyes. Too brave to fear a broken prince. She was just a maid working in his kingdom not aware of the fact...that she is going to be the curse breaker for him. " I am not innocent at all my little moon " he replied while moving towards her with slow steps " I am cursed " he smirked. Highy mature content

Echoes Beneath The Moonlight
This poetry book, Echoes Beneath the Moonlight, is a collection of deeply emotional reflections that travel through love, heartbreak, loneliness, devotion, and silent resilience. Beneath the soft glow of moonlit nights and within dimly lit rooms of memory, these poems explore the fragile state of the human soul - wounded yet hopeful, broken yet still capable of loving. Through recurring symbols of the moon, shattered hearts, silent rivers, freezing seas, and trembling breaths, the book captures the ache of longing, the fear of losing someone, and the quiet strength found in enduring pain. Each piece feels like a confession whispered into the night - sometimes romantic, sometimes philosophical, sometimes standing at the edge of mortality - but always sincere. Echoes Beneath the Moonlight is not just a poetry collection; it is the voice of a soul navigating darkness while still searching for light.

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING ❤️ This story is currently marked Complete, but please note that the latter half of the story is a temporary/current version. After my exams, I will be rewriting the second half of the story, including the redemption arc, because I feel that some emotions, character development and the deeper message I wanted to convey were not expressed strongly enough through my writing. The current version will remain available for now, so new readers are welcome to read it as it is. ❤️ The rewritten version will have stronger emotional depth, more developed character growth, and a more gradual and clearly earned redemption, so that the storyline and its intended message are conveyed better. Please keep this in mind before starting the story. ❤️ Thank you for reading and supporting my work. 🫶🏻 ..................

Until the Last Breath
--- They were never meant to meet. They were never meant to love. And they were never meant to survive. When Naina meets Zaffar Malik, she unknowingly steps into a storm. He's the kind of danger you don't survive-a man built from fire and shadows, carrying secrets darker than the night. But she isn't the type to run. She stares back at the chaos... and falls. He's arrogant, unpredictable, and everything she was warned about. But beneath the rage, Naina sees the broken boy hiding behind blood-soaked walls. And Zaffar? He sees the girl who makes the world quieter, even when everything inside him screams. Their love was never supposed to happen. But fate doesn't ask for permission. From enemies to lovers, their bond becomes a wildfire. It's obsessive. All-consuming. The kind of love that breaks you just to rebuild you stronger. A connection so raw, so pure, that it haunts them in every heartbeat. They laugh, they fight, they burn-and through it all, they choose each other. But the world doesn't forgive love like theirs. A cursed prophecy. A war between bloodlines. A truth hidden beneath betrayal and revenge. Zaffar and Naina are hunted by the very people who should've protected them. Trapped between loyalty and survival, they fight for a love that was never meant to bloom. Every kiss is a rebellion. Every glance is dangerous. And every touch could be their last. This isn't a love story-it's a war story. Of two souls chained by fate. Of pain, passion, and the promise of forever... even if forever means bleeding for it. Some love stories are written in ink. Theirs was written in blood, sealed in fate... and remembered Until the Last Breath. --- ---Complete

Adhya Reddy has three constants in life-her noisy family, her late grandmother's bakery, and passion towards her career.

But secrets simmer behind perfect smiles, friends aren't always loyal, and first impressions are far from the truth. Somewhere between bakery counters to the event managing skills. Arguments and stolen glances, Adhya and Amrith will discover that sometimes the person who drives you mad is also the one who makes you smile. Unfold their story with me.🥰
