"Her right arm lay on the cushioned parapet before her. She raised her hand, and made a slight, quick movement toward the right. No one but her lover saw her. Every eye but his was fixed on the man in the arena.
He turned, and with a firm and rapid step he walked across the empty space. Every heart stopped beating, every breath was held, every eye was fixed immovably upon that man. Without the slightest hesitation, he went to the door on the right, and opened it.
Now, the point of the story is this: Did the tiger come out of that door, or did the lady?"

Adil-e-Chand, the ashes of desire
"To all the girls who feel they are unfortunate." Chandrika -The princess of Ajmer labelled as the bad omen for the palace, she had always been kept locked in a room with nothing but silent screams ringing in her ears reminding her every second that she is nothing but a curse for her loved ones. Now those screams are no less than a lullaby which helps her sleep after each failed attempt to end her life every single night. Her innocent soul now rests in the pit of hope which diminishes in small doses, that one day someone will see her for who she wants to be. Someone who will see her not as a curse, but as a girl who just wants to be loved. Sultan Adil Faisal khan- Sultan of the Mughal Sultanate The young man who was titled as the Sultan at the very young age of 19, but deep down his tough mask resides in an innocent heart which aches every second missing someone he can never meet. Even though it's false for him to think of her when he knows he can't have her, his heart always repels his brain whispering, "what if?". what if one day he could meet her again? what if he could inhale her sweet scent again? What if he could confess his longing towards her? what if...? This world carries so much magic that to justify its unrealistic nature we label it as coincidence. Funny right? This story or as I should say every other romance story says otherwise even the sad ones and I totally agree. In this universe, where people are busy calculating possibilities of a dice number also live people like me who believe in fate, and I think anyone who reads does believe in fate. "kisi na kisi ko hai banaya har kisike liye" this lyric says everything I want to convey through my story. Each person in our life is like a chapter who helps us reach our happy ending. So, let's turn our pages and read through them. Shall we?

Screem of Betrayal
"How can you do this?" The girl shouted holding coller of the male, her eyes are dropping perls of tears, her lips querying, her whole body is shivering with anger. "Calm down princess, this much anger is not good for health." Said that man taking her hands off from his collar. "Don't you feel shame, he thought of you as his son. How can you betrayed the person who had there for you when no one was?" She asked him, her voice is low showing her disbelief, as how can a person do this to his benefactor. Coming towards her he cupped her face, she tried to pray his hand off but he holding her both hands said in dangerous voice. "That is the thing my dear princess, I don't want to be his son, I want to be his son in law." She pushed him away from her, looking at him shocked, and anger ozzing out from her tear filled eyes. "I will not let you succeed in that." Saying this she walked away but stopped hearing his hard voice. "It's going to happen princess, with your will or without your will. Be ready to marry me.

The Pregnant Bride
"Stay away from my daughters." He said, as the servant guided them away infront of my eyes. The ivory bangles in my arm clinked as I put the flick of my hair behind my ear. This would be what... the second argument for today? "You had a step father in your life, who you admire. Why can't I have that relation with your kids?" I spoke, crossing my arms over my chest, trying hard so that the tears in my eyes don't slip out. "Because I don't want them to be knocked up before they are married." He stated again. He shouldn't have gone there. Badtameez "Like your sister was?" I spoke again. My child maybe illegitimate but it wasn't unwanted. "The guy who knocked her up also married her. Which is not true in your case." He said, and walked out of the room as I sat there alone for the third night in the row. I wanted to call my dad, but I had ended all relations with them on my own free will. What would become of me now? Copyright- No parts of this book shall be copied without my permission.

A Beauty and The Beastly King
"You took my father from me! You killed him!" I snarled, pulling against the chains. He watched me with those same dead eyes, not an ounce of emotion. "He trespassed into my home and stole my food, he got what he deserved." he stated calmly. I bared my canines, just wanting to rip through his flesh with them. "Now I know why." "Why what?" "Why no one could ever love you...you're a monster. A cold blooded beast at heart." I spat with hatred.

"ALIA WATCH OUT!!" i bellowed before Mairah slit her dagger into Alia's back. She dropped in front of me after receiving a stab from Mairah. Before she was about to be further attacked, the chamber door broke open and the guards came rushing towards Mairah, pulling her away. My eyes immediately shifted to Alia, who was lying on the floor motionless, covered with blood. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Republishing this for better understanding and its editted I got the idea for this story from Rangrasiya ( drama ) and abit from Bajirao Masatani and mostly from my brain. I have always wanted to write this story about royal royal thingy. And of course this story would be different from all the other royal stories which you might have read. Its not a full romance but surely there are some parts. Its a mixture of adventure, love, family, unity and more.And especially, as this story is a muslim related, there would be no *ehem ehem* . Hope that you would enjoy and dont forget to comment and vote and comment!Complete
You are mine
His voice was a low, velvety murmur, laced with a dangerous intensity as he leaned closer, his piercing gaze locking onto hers. "You don't understand, do you?" he began, his tone equal parts menace and longing. "You're not just a woman to me, Rose. You're the woman-the only one who's ever mattered. I want to own every part of you, body and soul. To love you so deeply, so fiercely, that there's no room left in this world for anyone else." He exhaled slowly, his lips curling into a dark smile. "You're my beauty, Rose. The light I'll protect with my darkness. And if it means becoming the beast to keep you, so be it. I'll claim you as mine in every way that matters, because losing you? That's not an option. Not now, not ever." Trigger Warning : Toxic , force , madness , manipulation , controlling Starting : Jan 19 , 2025 End : Mar 31 , 2025Complete
