In a world where expectations weigh heavier than a bat in hand, one cricketer chooses defiance over surrender.

From empty practice grounds to roaring stadiums, this journey unfolds through failures, criticism, and moments that test the very soul of a player. Every shot played is an act of rebellion. Every fall is followed by a rise. This is a tale of discipline forged in pain, confidence built in solitude, and a hunger that no defeat can erase. Mysterious, intense, and deeply emotional, DRIVEN: A CRICKETER WHO REFUSED TO BOW explores what it truly means to stand tall when everything pushes you to kneel. This is not a biography.

She was lost in a small, colorful booklet, unaware that her presence alone had unknowingly saved someone on the verge of breaking.

Now, years later, Arhaan Khan is a powerful CEO, determined to find the girl whose words changed his life. But when his path collides with Aysha Sheikh-a woman who shines on the outside but harbors a deep distrust of men-he has no idea she is the very person he has been searching for. Locked in a fierce business rivalry, their clashes are electric, their tension undeniable. But beneath the battles of power and pride lies a fate neither of them can escape. She doesn't know she once saved him. He doesn't realize he has already found her. And when the truth comes to light, will it bring them closer or tear them apart forever?

He was invisible. Until he wasn't. Devin Nielson spent freshman year as a ghost on campus-a blur of bad hair, braces, and oversized hoodies. After a humiliating encounter, he makes a desperate, impossible promise to his skeptical football coach: Give me one summer to change everything. Returning to his family's farm, Devin trades anonymity for grueling labor. One rep, one hay bale, one transformation at a time. When he returns for sophomore year, he's unrecognizable: all sharp edges, dark confidence, and hard-earned muscle. The world finally sees him, and it's exhilarating. But attention is complicated. There's Emma, the smart, fiery redhead who liked the shy guy behind the glasses and isn't afraid to call out the new arrogance. And there's Sabrina, the gorgeous, provocative blonde who only wants the shiny new trophy-and will play dirty to get it. As Devin fights for a spot on the team and a future he never dreamed possible, he must learn that the hardest hits don't always come on the field. True strength isn't about a perfect body; it's about choosing who you are, and who you're for.

How many deaths must a soul endure before it becomes whole? A Life by a Thousand Deaths is a confessional excavation of one life broken across time. Told in a voice shaped by silence and memory, it traces the aftermath of lineage and survival that never softened into healing. Each moment is haunted by what has already been taken. Each return is a more fragile echo of the last. What remains are the shards of a self never allowed to fully form. Once called a miracle, later condemned as a burden. A body inscribed with inherited wounds, repeated until they became law. Each chapter recalls those wounds, the deaths of the soul, some quiet, some violent, and what had to be cut away to go on: a belief, a name, a future, even innocence. This is not a story of redemption. It is a ritual for those who live in the in-between, when healing is no longer possible and only the wreckage remains. What survives is not hope. What survives is the body still moving, jaw locked, lungs dragging air, steps taken without consent. Unholy. Unforgiven. Alive.

They ruled in silence. Loved without limits. Fought without fear. They didn't rise from ashes - They were born of fire. Not crafted in softness, but carved in storms. Built from silence, ruled by presence. They don't follow - they lead. They don't bend - they redefine power. And the women? They're not just queens. They're storms in silk. Naari in grace. Durga in rage. Kaali in destruction. You can try to cage them - but they don't shatter. They sharpen. They don't roar - They destroy And when fate dared to strike their world, they didn't wait to be saved. They became the reckoning.. They become the destruction.. > Because alone, they were empires... But together - they became the legacy the world will never forget..

Will Aratrika's Amrutha's sister sudden death before the wedding unite Amrutha with her love, Amanth Krishnamurthy her soon to be brother-in-law.

Avelyn Morgan's story. Book 1. "I didn't fall in love with him out loud. I loved him in the quiet-where no one was listening, and he couldn't hear it." Avelyn Morgan never meant to fall for Bahng Christopher Chan-the quiet, composed producer who spoke more in music than words. But somehow, she did. In the spaces between late-night tea and shared glances, between silent car rides and half-spoken truths, Avelyn found herself falling for a boy who didn't ask to be loved. Told through soft journal entries, aching memories, and fragile moments, When You Heard My Silence is a deeply personal exploration of silent love, unspoken affection, and what it means to love someone who may or may not say it back. But some silences aren't empty. Some are filled with everything we're too afraid to say. And sometimes... someone hears you anyway.

A Beautiful Poetry on a romantic Christmas.

Everyone has a story - mine just hurts more than most. Reazul: A Life Between Love and Chaos isn't just a book. It is a confession. A quiet scream. A journey of a boy who turned his wounds into words. I wasn't born with answers - only feelings too heavy for my age. Love found me early. Pain found me earlier. And the world... well, it never waited for me to understand it. From childhood memories in the loud streets of Kolkata, to heartbreaks, friendships, mistakes, dreams and the chaos of growing up - this story follows the boy I was, the person I became, and the man I'm still learning to be. If you've ever: loved too deeply lost yourself trying to be enough fought battles no one saw or tried to rebuild from broken pieces - then maybe, in my words, you'll find pieces of yourself. This is not a perfect life. But it's real. Raw. And mine.
