Tainted by You

Forged by the opulent walls, crafted by the scraps from the slums, thrown to rot in this golden cage. That was her, Maya. "How forsaken the anguish of fate is…We met again, Brother." She chuckled coldly, swirling the wine glass. "Maya…You?" Declan's voice was rather calm; it had always been like that...however, for the first time in his life, his voice held a hint of uncertainty. "The world is undoubtedly round." She smiled ; her smile was like that of an unclaimed corpse… knowing there was no one…… and knowing that she didn't want anyone. Maya looked different … It wasn't her feigned smile or the old scar cutting through her left eye….it was her eyes, which were empty like a burned vessel. Her deep set of ebony eyes …which was common for any Indian, but what set her apart from the common folks was the glimmer of contempt that seemed to paint the floor red at any moment. ————————————————————————————————————————— Imagine being the only child to get adopted by a multi-billionaire… that too Indian…. Maya was that child… But she was different. Maybe because she was autistic or her face had been paralyzed due to an old, unfortunate accident? When a child was supposed to run across corridors….was supposed to enjoy the innocence of girlhood days…she was kept confined in her room… not out of compulsion but out of choice. She tried to accept them… They tried as well… But maybe blood was thicker than water … When the real blood came, the poor kid was cast aside; her love of life, whom she thought of as one, was the one to drag her down the bottomless pit. She was thrown out with only two choices: kill yourself or let them kill you. and she chose none.

A Taste Of You

Kairo is a renowned food critic, known for his gentle demeanor and delicate way of describing the most exquisite flavors in dishes. His social media accounts are filled with glowing reviews, and his opinion is highly respected in the culinary world. He’s soft, charming, and has a natural talent for understanding the art behind food. But despite all his success, Kairo carries a secret: he was born with a diminished sense of taste, a condition that means he can’t experience food the way others can. This personal struggle fuels his passion for the intricate stories behind each dish, but he often feels like a fraud. Kieran, on the other hand, is a brooding and cold novelist, known for his dark, melancholy novels that dive deep into human emotions and struggles. He’s brilliant, a little cynical, and has little interest in the world of food. However, when he’s invited to a dinner with some of his close friends—who happen to be chefs—Kieran is forced into the world of fine dining, where he meets Kairo. Kairo, who is the guest of honor at this dinner, instantly captivates Kieran. The way he speaks about food with such love and passion intrigues him, especially when Kieran can tell that Kairo is speaking about something he can't truly experience himself. Kieran’s cold exterior begins to crack as he becomes fascinated with Kairo’s vulnerability and sweetness. In turn, Kairo finds Kieran’s stoic, almost distant nature both intimidating and intriguing. He’s the kind of person who seems completely unaffected by the world around him, yet Kairo can sense a deep, hidden warmth beneath the surface

Restored By You!

Ethan Smith is a control man and an authority figure, a CEO with mastery. Behind the well-cultivated facade, though, is a past marinated in deceit—Eris Malice destroyed his faith in love, and all he has been left to cling to is the piano and his art to find comfort in, wherein feelings are imprisoned within. Clara Williams is his antithesis—lively, creative, and bursting with color. But under the laughter lies the specter of a poisonous past with Edric Voss. Now, she is poised for a career-altering collaboration with Ethan's company, an opportunity to leave the past behind. Their worlds collide—literally—fusing an undeniable tension. Ethan, the loner, is drawn to Clara's light, and Clara, not wanting to trust again, finds herself unexpectedly safe with him. But as they grow closer, old demons surface. Cryptic phone calls, secret bruises, and the quiet fear in Clara's eyes draw Ethan into a battle he never enlisted in—one waged not in boardrooms, but in his heart. What does it do when love is unable to wash the past away? Can Ethan safeguard Clara when her demons come back to haunt her? Will she find happiness, or will fear bind her again? And what if Ethan's worst fear is that he is meant to lose the people he loves most? When tragedy hits, Ethan does exactly what he vowed he never would—he releases. Betrayal, a brawl, and a secret buried six feet deep risk everything. But love has a way of redefining destiny. From stolen kisses and whispered deceptions to suffering and redemption, their path is one of love tested and true. With the past returning for one last battle, will Ethan and Clara battle for one another, or will their love be an unfinished canvas—lost to the ages?
