Advika, a 15-year-old living in Pune, is known for cheerful, kind and happy-go-lucky personality by her friends, relatives and people around her. People say that she light's up every room she is in, but no one sees how dull she becomes behind the closed doors of her house. In that house, in that life, she is out of place-quietly enduring the small cruelties of being the child who is not seen for her value, a child they broke themself and blamed for who she has become. She hides her vulnerability from the world because no one there knows what to do with it. Somewhere across cities, in Bengaluru, a family as old, feared and respected - the Devrais have spent the last fifteen years mourning a daughter they were told had died before she ever lived. They spoke of her in softened voices, laid flowers for a memory, and loved her only through grief. Then one day the truth surfaces-her name, her face, her existence-and the quiet world Advika has survived in begins to shift. Because when the lie breaks, it doesn't just expose a truth - it gives two parents back their daughter and seven boys the sister they never knew to look for.

قبل سنوات، لم يكن أمام عائلة لؤي سوى أن تترك كل شيء خلفها. غادروا بلادهم بحثًا عن الأمان، وعبروا إلى حياة جديدة في بلد أوروبي، محاولين أن يبدأوا من الصفر بعيدًا عن الحرب والخوف والذكريات التي لم يكن من السهل تركها خلفهم. كبر لؤي وهو يتعلم كيف يبدو طبيعيًا في مكانٍ لم يكن وطنه يومًا؛ جامعة، أصدقاء، عائلة صغيرة يحاول كل فرد فيها أن يجد طريقه، وأخ أكبر تولّى مسؤوليات أكبر من عمره منذ غياب أبيهم. لكن الماضي لا يحتاج إلى أن يبقى في المكان الذي تركته خلفك كي يظل معك. فبعض الذكريات تسكن الجسد، وبعضها يظهر في الأحلام، وبعضها يختبئ خلف الحذر من الآخرين والخوف من الأشياء التي تبدو عادية للجميع. ثم يظهر ديفيد. شاب تحيطه الشائعات، ويتجنبه زملاؤه دون أن يمنحوه فرصة حقيقية ليكون أكثر من الصورة التي رسموها عنه. ومع اقتراب لؤي منه، يبدأ في التساؤل عن الأحكام التي اعتاد أن يراها من حوله، وعن الأشياء التي يصدقها الإنسان لمجرد أن الجميع يصدقونها. وبين حاضر يحاول بناءه، وماضٍ يرفض أن يبتعد، وأسئلة عن الوطن والانتماء والإيمان والناس الذين يتركون وراءهم كل شيء كي ينجوا، يكتشف لؤي أن النجاة لا تعني دائمًا أن تخرج من المكان سالمًا.

As Angelique adjusts to the new truths of her life, can she meet the insane timetable she set, save her renovation project, and her sanity? Can Justin dodge her flying hammer and win her heart?

Beneath the Shadows: A Rose Betwixt Thorns They brought her back to a house filled with light-but Kira has already learned what light costs. After years lost to silence, scars, and memories no one dares to name, Kira Varrin returns to a family that calls her home yet feels like a beautifully gilded cage. They watch her. Protect her. Fear her. And none of them truly know what she survived. Cold. Sharp. Unapologetically distant-Kira wears her darkness like armor. Because feelings are weaknesses. Hope is a lie. And trust is a luxury she cannot afford. But shadows remember. Nightmares bleed into daylight. And the past refuses to stay buried. As family tensions tighten, jealousy festers, and secrets unravel, Kira must decide whether survival means running again-or standing still long enough to be seen. Loved. Chosen. Some roses bloom in sunlight. Others grow between thorns-cutting anyone who dares to touch them. It is a survival story. And Kira refuses to be gentle.
