Mindgames Stories

Elise is ripped from her life, from her husband and thrown into a nightmare that she can barely process as real. No one knows where she is, and only her husband knows she's missing. That each passing hour she might not even be alive. Ledger isn't playing games. No police. Six million wired to an account. Leone has no options and can only worry that each choice he makes might be a detrimental mistake. Every day, Elise fights her darkest fears. She watches the men controlling her every move, especially Ledger, trying to understand what's only getting farther from answers that make sense. It was supposed to be simple. But Ledger's plan falls apart before they even have her in the SUV. Some things you can't anticipate; have a backup plan for. Things are getting complicated, dangerous. And only then does Ledger realize he's responsible for the biggest threat inside the house. Now he can't let her out of his sight. When does protection become attachment? When does the person harming you become the one you start reaching for? Ledger doesn't want to answer that question. And neither does Elise. But maybe what lies between them will force them to.

. Her brothers-Siddharth, Shaurya, Sarthak, Kairav, Shreyansh, and Reyansh-became her anchors, each in their own way stitching together the frayed edges of her spirit. Their laughter coaxed her smile, their protection made her feel safe, and their relentless care reminded her that she was no longer alone. Samarth Shekhawat, with his steady guidance, became a pillar of understanding, helping her navigate the complex layers of family she had missed. Even the quiet dignity of Shyam Veer Shekhawat, her grandfather, enveloped her in a gentle reassurance that transcended words-a silent promise that she was always home, always cherished. The story of Samantha is a tale of father-daughter bonds, of grandfather-granddaughter warmth, and of brothers who refuse to let their sister walk alone in the shadows. In the Shekhawat mansion, amidst its grand halls and sunlit rooms, Samantha learned that family is not just blood, but a promise to stand together, to nurture, and to love without end. This is a story of rediscovery, of unbreakable family ties, and a daughter finally finding her way back to the hearts that assumes they lost her .

Yoichi Nagumo has spent more time learning how to kill, deceive, and survive than living like a normal fifteen-year-old. After one mission too many, his organization makes an unusual decision: no assassinations, no intelligence work, and no assignments for the next three years. Instead, Nagumo is sent to Japan's prestigious Advanced Nurturing High School with one simple objective- live like an ordinary teenager. To Nagumo, it sounds like a three-year vacation. Go to class. Make friends. Enjoy school life. Easy enough. But ANHS is anything but ordinary. Behind its perfect reputation lies a closed system ruled by points, competition, manipulation, and students willing to use almost anything to reach Class A. And as Nagumo enters Class B with his usual smile, he soon discovers something unexpected: assassins aren't the only people who know how to hide their true selves. For someone who has built his life around deception, perhaps the most dangerous game of all is learning who he can actually trust. A Sakamoto Days × Classroom of the Elite crossover.

Luka, is what others would describe as a wolf in sheep's clothing. He was handsome, tall, and has big puppy eyes. His handsome face was a weapon he would use to manipulate others.

Once a barren wasteland that reaped only storms of ridicule and solitary tears, Deo carved his way to the top. Yet as the world bowed to his feet, no one knew the steep price he paid for his throne. To him, ultimate power was nothing more than a hollow shell shielding a lonely soul, a cold fortress that begins to crack as buried memories resurface. A story about the ruthless pursuit of success, the courage to confront long-buried wounds, and the search for true healing when the most precious part of life is on the line.

Matchmaking Madness - Volume 1 In the treacherous world of the Inner Court, even marriage can become a battlefield. When the Emperor decrees that the brilliant yet dangerously independent daughter of General Lakan must be formally acknowledged as a princess, a carefully calculated chain of events is set into motion. What begins as a political arrangement soon becomes a subtle contest of strategy, influence, and quiet rebellion. Caught between imperial command and his own guarded paternal instincts, Lakan is forced into a game he did not choose - one where every move could determine his daughter's future. Meanwhile, the Moon Prince stands at the centre of the court's attention, admired for his elegance yet underestimated in ways that may prove perilous for everyone involved. As factions stir behind painted screens and unseen hands guide the board, one truth becomes increasingly clear: In the palace, even love can be weaponised. And some matches are arranged not to unite... but to control. Disclaimer This is a fan-created work inspired by the world and characters of The Apothecary Diaries.

Volume 1

SEVEN CHECKPOINTS. ONE WINNER. $500,000. DONT ENTER IF YOU'LL NEED TO BE RESCUED. The invitation spreads through Los Angeles's private thrill-seeking circles like a dare no one can trace. For a half-million dollars, contestants must survive seven illegal challenges hidden across the city-rooftop crossings, high-speed pursuits, restricted parties, sabotaged machinery, and buildings designed to trap anyone who makes the wrong decision. I enter because fear has never been a good enough reason for me to stay on the ground. I've climbed towers, bridges, cranes, and the exposed skeletons of unfinished and forgotten buildings. I know how to reach places nobody thinks to secure, and I'm willing to go farther than most would consider sane. That makes me exactly what they're looking for. But the checkpoints aren't deciding who deserves the prize. They're testing us for something else. Climber. Driver. Observer. Social engineer. Mechanic. Saboteur. Coordinator. Seven specialties. One carefully assembled crew. By the time we uncover the truth, we've already surveyed the exits, studied the employees, tested the security systems, and mapped the escape routes of the Aurelia-one of the most exclusive hotels overlooking Downtown LA. During a private three-night event, its vault will hold millions in stolen artwork, unregistered diamonds, bearer bonds, cash, and secrets belonging to people powerful enough to bury anyone who touches them. The competition was never the job. It was the audition. And refusing now won't save us. Every challenge was recorded. Every piece of evidence has been arranged to make it look as though we planned the heist ourselves. Someone among the seven of us created the checkpoints. Someone has been controlling us from inside the competition. And whoever they are, they didn't choose me because I follow plans. They chose me because when there's no safe way in, I make one. And everyone here has a quality they needed to peruse what they couldn't do alone.

"They told me I was a curse, so they sold me off to be someone else's problem. Now, I play the part. In the hallways, I'm the girl who has it all-the smile, the grades, the perfect life. I'm a placebo. A fake. But I'm not the type of fake you think I am. I'm quite the opposite. You think I'm empty? I'm the girl who can pull the stars apart atom by atom. My 'perfect life' is a jagged pill, and my 'curse' is the only thing keeping me alive. I've spent years making the lie look easy, but the reality of what's waiting for me at home? That's something you'll find impossible to swallow."

Some people hide secrets. Some people hide pain. And sometimes, the difference between the two depends entirely on perception. When a dangerous disappearance case begins pointing toward a quiet fashion designer, the line between truth and assumption slowly starts disappearing. Nothing feels completely right. Not the evidence. Not the silence. Not the people. And definitely not the emotions growing in places they shouldn't. Because perception changes everything. The same actions can look like fear to one person... and guilt to another. The same care can feel like love... or control. The same person can become a victim, a suspect, or something much worse depending on who is looking at them. And sometimes, people become so trapped inside their own perception that they stop searching for the truth beyond it. This story was never written to tell you what to believe. It was written to make you feel how dangerous belief itself can become when understanding disappears. Some will see love. Some will see hate. Some will see fear. Some will see guilt. And maybe none of them are completely wrong. Because by the end of it- the most dangerous thing may not be the truth. But the way you choose to see it.
