    8 years old Aarya was raised in silence, in fear, and in chains. She never knew a life beyond bruises and rules - where food was a privilege, smiles were sins, and love was just a myth. For eight years, she lived under the iron hand of her mother and her cruel boyfriend, taught to be invisible and obedient or be punished. She didn't know family, joy, or even her own worth. Until one day, everything changed. When her abusers were arrested in a drug bust, Aarya thought she was finally free. But freedom was a lie. Because this time she is captured by a monster even more dangerous, a ghost from the underworld, long thought dead. Where she learns a truth more unbelievable than fiction: she is not alone. She is the daughter of Satyaveer Malhotra - one of the most feared mafia dons in the country - and sister to three ruthless crime lords. Thrown from hell into a den of lions, Aarya finds herself in a world she cannot understand - a world of power, guns, secrets, and brothers who speak in bullets and silence. Cold, broken, and dangerous - they don't know how to love. And neither does she. But blood remembers. And somewhere beneath the scars, loyalty, and violence... a family begins to rise..........

    Book 2: When The World Fights (The Fight To The End) For the first time in a long time, December allowed herself to believe that maybe... just maybe, the world was finally giving them a chance. After months of running, losing, and fighting for every single breath, they found something they thought they would never have again... a home. Kansas Shelter became more than just walls and a place to sleep. It became a place where December could close her eyes without wondering if she would wake up to screams, blood, or another tragedy. Surrounded by the people she loved and trusted, safety felt like a luxury in a world that had taken everything from them. But peace never lasted long. The danger felt closer. The darkness they thought they escaped was slowly finding its way back to them. Because the infected were changing. They were no longer the same creatures they had been fighting since the beginning. They were learning. They were adapting. They were becoming something no one was prepared for. And that terrified them. But the infected were not their only threat. The shadows of their past were still following them. The people who attacked River Side were still out there, waiting, watching, and preparing for their next move. December never wanted another war. She never wanted to keep losing people. All she wanted was to survive with the people she cared about and finally have a life beyond fear. But chaos always finds them. This time, they are done running. They are done hiding. If the world wants to destroy everything they have left, then they will fight back with everything they have. Because this is no longer just about surviving. This is about protecting their home. Protecting their family. Protecting what remains. Until the very end. Because when the world fights against them... They will fight back. --- © All Rights Reserved 2026

    At fifteen... she was light. Niharika Rathore was the kind of girl who made rooms softer just by entering them. A sunshine soul wrapped in innocence. She laughed too easily, trusted too quickly, and loved her mother more than anything in the world. Her eyes-almond-shaped, deep, observant-held warmth. Her smile could melt silence. Chubby cheeks like cotton candy... a face everyone remembered. But some stories don't stay soft. Because in one night... everything changed. The man her mother trusted... the man who was supposed to become her stepfather... became the reason her world cracked open. Nothing loud. Nothing spoken. Just a line crossed that should have never been crossed. And after that night... Niharika was never the same. --- At seventeen... she is still alive. But the sunshine is gone. Her smile doesn't reach her eyes anymore. Her gaze avoids people, like the world itself became unsafe. Quiet. Careful. Guarded. She no longer trusts light. She only trusts shadows. Then fate turns again. Her mother slips into a coma. And suddenly... there is no place left for her. A maternal grandfather she barely knows sends her away-far from everything she called home. But before she can leave... another truth arrives like a storm. A father she never truly knew. A name whispered in fear. A mafia king. And he wants her back. Not as a guest. Not as a choice. As his daughter. --- But Niharika has already learned one thing the hard way: Men break things. Even the ones who are supposed to protect you. Now she is taken into a world she never imagined- A house filled with power... silence... and eight brothers who see her as an outsider. No women. No softness. No familiarity. Only rules. Distance. Watchful eyes. And a girl who is terrified of men... being forced to live surrounded by them.
