Gaslighting Stories

✨Chai, Confessions & Crimes✨ Book 1: Kidnapped By The Devil is all about Tara Kapoor-Tara Kapoor is a psychology student at Delhi University, known for her academic discipline, emotional intelligence, and quiet intensity. Beneath her composed exterior lies a carefully buried past-one marked by trauma she is determined to outgrow, outrun, and never revisit. Her choice to study psychology is not accidental as it reflects a deep desire to understand the human mind, control chaos, and reclaim agency over her own narrative. Tara's life takes a dangerous turn when she falls into an all-consuming, unquestioning love for her professor, surrendering her emotional autonomy to a man she believes understands her better than anyone else. An authority figure who embodies intellect, control, and reassurance. The Devil bears a concealed and sinister identity. As Tara's suppressed past resurfaces, weaponised by the very person she trusts, the relationship devolves into psychological manipulation and coercive control. Upon discovering the truth about him, Tara becomes a captive-not just physically, but mentally-trapped in a calculated power dynamic where love, fear, and dependency blur beyond recognition. She is a study in contradiction: perceptive yet vulnerable, intelligent yet emotionally exposed. Tara Kapoor represents the threat of unresolved trauma intersecting with unchecked authority, and the devastating consequences of mistaking manipulation for love. This is Book 1 of 4. Each book will centre one of these four beautifully broken people. Read with headphones. Sip your chai. Fall in love with the characters. Regret nothing. Let's go. - Tanishi 💌

They say a smile could hide anything, and I guess they're right. No one sees the cracks beneath mine -- the shame, the fear, the endless echo of words meant to break me. At 19, my world feels like a prison built by someone who's supposed to love me. Every decision I make, every thought I have, is picked apart, controlled, and twisted until I don't recognize myself anymore. But I have one escape, one thing that keeps me breathing: Win Metawin. He doesn't know I exist, but his smile, his words, his unwavering optimism -- it's like a lifeline in world determined to drown me. When everything else feels hopeless, he reminds me that maybe, just maybe, there's still a future worth dreaming about. Still, the weight of it all is crushing. The abuse, the silence, the constant battle to keep going -- I don't know how much more I can take. Can I ever find the strength to stand up, to break free from the chains holding me down? Or am I destined to stay trapped in a life where my voice is nothing but a whisper? This is my story. It's not pretty, it's not perfect, but it's mine.

When a lonely but ambitious woman falls for a man who seems too good to be true, she soon discovers his love comes with terrifying conditions. As his charm fades into obsession, she must choose between surviving his version of love-or being destroyed by it.

I wonder what would happen if Nightmare switched sides..? This book explores that possibility but also combines it with some fluffy Inkmare scenarios and brotherly bonding~ I hope you enjoy! ฅ'ω'ฅ

When obsession is mistakenly confused for love, lies become truth and every single word or thought, each and every move you make, becomes wrong. Legs become leaden, lips tight, mouth dry, you live in the shadows, your entire existence depends on avoidance. It's getting darker now, a matte black canvas above me, a foreboding depth of nothingness, beckoning me forward, as if all this time I had been digging downward instead of up, tunneling deeper into my own grave. God please, there has to be away out, this cannot be the fate that I'm intended. Trigger Warning: Mental/Physical Abuse

A girl from a wealthy family who is to be married to a handsome and kind man, but the question is, is he really who she thinks he is?

The Arrival is the first chilling novella in The Fractured Veil series, a psychological suspense saga where memory, identity, and reality collide. When Ash moves into a quiet coastal town for a temporary archivist job, everything seems ordinary at first. The locals are polite, the boarding house strict, the fog thick but familiar. Then come the oddities: A locked door that ticks like a heartbeat. Neighbours who insist Ash has been here before. A friend who vanishes overnight - and a town that swears she never existed. Photographs that show Ash living another life, ten years ago. As paranoia escalates, Ash begins to question not only the town but their own identity. Because in this place, names are shared, memories are borrowed, and copies don't always come back right. Step inside if you dare - but remember the rule: when the house calls your name, don't answer. Perfect for fans of Shutter Island, House of Leaves, and Behind Her Eyes, this novella delivers claustrophobic dread and a twist ending that will haunt you long after the last page.

It was hard to leave and it was hard to stay (was it?). Every day she never knew which was worse (did she really?), and every day nothing ever changed. A Genderswap One-Shot.
