Clarke disappeared without saying goodbye.
Which is inconvenient, because he was Penny's best friend for twenty years.
Now she's left juggling an after-school program full of brutally honest kids, an older sister who occasionally turns into a flesh-eating monster, and the uncomfortable realization that life has the audacity to keep moving.
As Penny slowly builds unexpected friendships and learns that not everyone disappears, she begins to wonder if healing has less to do with finding the people you've lost... and more to do with noticing the ones who never left.
A funny, heartfelt story about grief, monsters, and ordinary Tuesdays.

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.
Mah-e-Noor: Between Love and Loneliness
✨️Mah-e-Noor: Between Love and Loneliness✨️ She was once the princess of the Malik family-spoilt, rebellious, and fearless. Hemayal Mah-e-Noor Malik grew up in a world where limits didn't exist, where tantrums were forgiven, and mistakes were hidden. But one argument, one careless decision, and everything she knew shattered. At fifteen, she was sent away to boarding school, abandoned by the family she loved, misunderstood by the people who mattered most. Now, more than four years later, Hemayal is called back home. Her grandmother misses her. Her siblings fear she hasn't changed. The cousins whisper, and the house that once adored her waits for the chaos she once brought. But Hemayal is not the same girl who left. The years away have taught her lessons she never wanted to learn. The girl who once demanded the world has almost lost herself-and now she must face the family she left behind. Will they see the change in her, or will the past always define her? A story of mistakes, loss, and the painful journey of growing up... of becoming someone you never thought you could. (Originally published on 20th October 2025 Republished on 23rd April 2026)
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."

The Silent Sister
Alessandra has never believed in safety. Life never gave her a reason to. Pain carved her childhood, silence became her armor, and trust? That was a luxury she could never afford. So when she runs -- bloody, broken, and barely breathing, she doesn't expect saving. She certainly doesn't expect to be taken in by a family dripping in wealth and power and. . . warmth? A mother who refuses to give up on her. A father who watches like he's waiting for her to let him in. And six brothers. Rough. Protective. Complicated. Brothers, who don't know what to do with a sister who won't speak. She doesn't know how to trust. How to believe that maybe not everyone wants to hurt her. Every instinct tells her to run. To shut down. But they don't let her go. Not when she flinches. Not when she hides. Not even when she breaks. Happiness is for other people, or that's what she believes. But when love comes wrapped in gentle patience and fierce protection, when hands reach for her without demand, when hearts break themselves wide open just to hold her... she starts to wonder. Can a girl stitched together with silence and fear ever belong in a family built on love? Can she stand tall when the ghosts of her past refuse to let go? And when danger claws its way back into her life, threatening everything she's come to know... will she find her voice, or will she shatter all over again? Trigger Warnings: Child abuse. Violence. Addiction. Panic attacks. SA. Self-harm. Death, and more.

Isolate
No one ever wanted Riley Knight: not her father, who made sure she didn't have any part in his or his families life; not her mother, who resented her for virtually everything; nor her step father, who has hated her since before she was born. Not even her own big brothers -- the ones who are suppose to love and protect her no matter what -- wanted her. Or so she thought. Riley is the product of an affair -- well her and her twin brother, Rome, are -- but she never had two parents. See, her father has always had "something against" the female sex and therefore, it is weak in his eyes to have a daughter. So he kept Rome and sent Riley away from the second the twins were born. He is the one responsible for turning his six sons against his youngest child and only daughter and, therefore, chaining her to a life of abuse and neglect. But did he succeed? Following her fathers death 7 years ago, Riley's brothers have taken a bigger interest in her and her quality of life, ensuring it was up to par. But all is still not perfect among the Knight siblings. Will Riley finally find her solace among her big brothers? Will they find out about the horrors she faces on a day-to-day basis? Can this family ever become one again ... or do the scars run too deep?
