"Chessboard in the Garden" is a story about youth, about faith sprouting from ruins, and about how a little girl finds the meaning of hope through each move in life.

    A Romantic-Thriller | Suitable for: 16+ This story begins where another ends-with a death. Love doesn't bloom here in innocence; it ignites in the ashes of loss. Virat Singh Bedi, Ritu Singhania, and Heer Singhania are caught in a web of fate so twisted, it refuses to be unraveled. Virat and Ritu were in love, on the brink of becoming one-until tragedy struck. On the night of their engagement, Ritu is ruthlessly murdered. Her killer remains a ghost, but Virat-fierce in love, relentless in revenge-sets his soul ablaze to uncover the truth. In his hunt for vengeance, Virat storms into Heer's life-Ritu's sister-and she becomes collateral in a war she never chose. Their marriage is forced, stitched together by grief and secrets. Yet somehow, love finds a way to creep in. But fate is a cruel mistress-it never lets lovers rest. Not all players are visible. Some puppeteers remain in the shadows, twisting the game moment by moment. In this world of shifting loyalties and deadly truths, the price of love is blood-and survival is never promised. So step into this murderous season of love-where hearts collide, secrets kill, and only the dead stay loyal.

A war where loyalties blur, enemies wear masks, and truth is buried beneath chess moves, betrayal, blood, and fate. Because sometimes... To protect humanity, you don't need a hero. You need a devil... The Necessary Devil. 👑🔥

    The Bussari family built an empire on wealth, influence, and silent fear. But when the first son's wife and his brother-in-law are murdered without warning, the cracks beneath their golden dynasty begin to show. Detective Felicia Scotton knows better than to trust the rich. Yet as she digs deeper, she finds herself entangled in a deadly web where loyalty is bought, betrayal is expected, and every secret is another move on a ruthless game board. Everyone around her has a motive to kill. Everyone is playing their part. And in the Bussari's world, justice isn't served - it's won. To survive, Felicia must learn the rules of a game she was never meant to play. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ She looked at me firmly. Silence clouded the room for a while before she broke it with a question. "Do you know what makes the Bussari Family Powerful?" "Money," she didn't look fazed about my answer, and so I tried again. "They use money to silence their sins". It made sense because every powerful family had a skeleton in the cupboard - and to keep their perfect reputation, money becomes their silencer to Sins. suddenly, she clapped. A smile crept onto her face, one that said almost. She leaned closer, invading my space. "You tried, but the Bussari Family-". I swallowed dryly, tightly holding my breath for her next words. "They don't just buy silence," she whispered. "They live by the instincts of five animals."

    ​"They stole our past. Now, I'm coming for their future." ​On the day of my mother's funeral, my relatives didn't offer a shoulder to cry on. Instead, they tore through her wardrobe, searching for the life savings she had hidden away. As they counted the bills with shaking, greedy fingers, they forgot one thing: three pairs of eyes were watching them from the corner. ​They saw us as broken orphans. They saw me as a pawn they could discard. ​They were wrong. ​In the silence of that room, a Grandmaster was born. I've spent years learning the art of the move, the bait, and the kill. I wear a smile that never reaches my eyes-a mask of perfection while I dismantle their lives from the darkness. ​The board is set. The pieces are moving. And they have no idea that every "lucky" break and every "accidental" loss was orchestrated by me. ​Checkmate is inevitable.
