This story begins where another ends-with a death. Love doesn't bloom here in innocence; it ignites in the ashes of loss. Virat Singh Bedi, Ritu Singhania, and Heer Singhania are caught in a web of fate so twisted, it refuses to be unraveled. Virat and Ritu were in love, on the brink of becoming one-until tragedy struck. On the night of their engagement, Ritu is ruthlessly murdered. Her killer remains a ghost, but Virat-fierce in love, relentless in revenge-sets his soul ablaze to uncover the truth. In his hunt for vengeance, Virat storms into Heer's life-Ritu's sister-and she becomes collateral in a war she never chose. Their marriage is forced, stitched together by grief and secrets. Yet somehow, love finds a way to creep in. But fate is a cruel mistress-it never lets lovers rest. Not all players are visible. Some puppeteers remain in the shadows, twisting the game moment by moment. In this world of shifting loyalties and deadly truths, the price of love is blood-and survival is never promised. So step into this murderous season of love-where hearts collide, secrets kill, and only the dead stay loyal.

The Bussari family built an empire on wealth, influence, and silent fear. But when the first son's wife and his brother-in-law are murdered without warning, the cracks beneath their golden dynasty begin to show. Detective Felicia Scotton knows better than to trust the rich. Yet as she digs deeper, she finds herself entangled in a deadly web where loyalty is bought, betrayal is expected, and every secret is another move on a ruthless game board. Everyone around her has a motive to kill. Everyone is playing their part. And in the Bussari's world, justice isn't served - it's won. To survive, Felicia must learn the rules of a game she was never meant to play. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ She looked at me firmly. Silence clouded the room for a while before she broke it with a question. "Do you know what makes the Bussari Family Powerful?" "Money," she didn't look fazed about my answer, and so I tried again. "They use money to silence their sins". It made sense because every powerful family had a skeleton in the cupboard - and to keep their perfect reputation, money becomes their silencer to Sins. suddenly, she clapped. A smile crept onto her face, one that said almost. She leaned closer, invading my space. "You tried, but the Bussari Family-". I swallowed dryly, tightly holding my breath for her next words. "They don't just buy silence," she whispered. "They live by the instincts of five animals."

​"They stole our past. Now, I'm coming for their future." ​On the day of my mother's funeral, my relatives didn't offer a shoulder to cry on. Instead, they tore through her wardrobe, searching for the life savings she had hidden away. As they counted the bills with shaking, greedy fingers, they forgot one thing: three pairs of eyes were watching them from the corner. ​They saw us as broken orphans. They saw me as a pawn they could discard. ​They were wrong. ​In the silence of that room, a Grandmaster was born. I've spent years learning the art of the move, the bait, and the kill. I wear a smile that never reaches my eyes-a mask of perfection while I dismantle their lives from the darkness. ​The board is set. The pieces are moving. And they have no idea that every "lucky" break and every "accidental" loss was orchestrated by me. ​Checkmate is inevitable.

Young Inspector Visser can't stand the sight of blood or death, so this case was destined to be a struggle, even before a storm hits. The death occurred in an isolated boarding house on Pluvierstraat, The Hague. Fighting nausea as he examines the body, Visser grudgingly concludes that the death is murder by poison.

Or could it be the pretty piano teacher? Visser orders them all to stay inside the house as he completes his time-consuming police work. The confinement becomes real when a storm strikes, cutting electricity and telephone. Clues mount and tensions rise, and the murderer among them could kill again. The more clues Visser unravels, the closer he comes to becoming the next victim. ---- I tried to channel Agatha Christie a bit. Okay, more than a bit.

After the war, Draco Malfoy returns to a changed world, one where the lines between right and wrong are no longer clear, and the weight of his past sins grows heavier with each passing day. His family's power and influence have waned, and his name, once a symbol of privilege, now evokes whispers of suspicion and fear. Draco isolates himself, hiding behind the cold, aristocratic mask he's worn all his life, afraid to let anyone see the man beneath. Enter Cassiopeia Liora Blackthorn, a bold and compassionate young witch from one of the most esteemed pureblood families. She, too, has returned to Hogwarts, hoping to rebuild her life after the war. But unlike others, Cassiopeia doesn't see Draco as a symbol of darkness-she sees the cracks in his armor, the flicker of regret in his eyes. Thrown together by circumstance, they are reluctant partners on a school project, tasked with rebuilding an ancient library lost to time. As they work side by side, Draco finds himself drawn to her kindness, though he fights to keep his distance, unwilling to believe that someone like her could care for someone like him. Cassiopeia, however, is determined to break through his walls, curious about the boy behind the mask. But just as Draco begins to let his guard down, strange occurrences begin to unfold at Hogwarts. Dark forces long thought defeated stir in the shadows, and once again, Draco is thrust into a world of danger. As secrets are uncovered and trust is tested, the two find themselves bound by more than just fate. In a story of redemption, forgiveness, and the undeniable pull of love, "Shattered Masks" explores whether a boy marked by darkness can be saved by the light of someone who dares to see him for who he truly is. Together, Draco and Cassiopeia must face the ghosts of their past and learn that sometimes, love means letting the mask fall-even when you're afraid of what's underneath.
