Viral Book Call Entry Lesly was just your typical kind of sadistic high school gym teacher, having her idyllic life disturbed when she was taken away by this strange butler, who informed her about her being the true heiress of a fallen family.  That wasn't all; he was asking her to sign the papers to marry a husband whom she had never met before. Normally, she would just laugh at them before running away —if it weren't for them threatening her, and that, with the (for her) most important hostage. On her first day in the villa of her new husband, she barged in on her stepson, entwined in a brunette girl, not stopping the deed just because of her presence. Clearly a psycho. Next was the husband, who enticed her with money if she stayed for a year, slept in his bed, and played his wife.  Lesly decided to go through with it for the good ol' money - however, after being introduced properly to her psycho stepson with ravishingly handsome looks, she had a feeling that things in this house would develop in a dangerous direction. And she should be proven right.

The house of secrets

"Beyond Pain and Loneliness" is a profound and emotional story that explores the lives of several young people marked by their personal experiences, inner struggles, and complex relationships. Through the eyes of Pariz, the protagonist, the dark nuances of a life filled with difficulties are revealed: bad grades, a broken family due to an alcoholic and abusive father, poverty, and the pain of living in a constant struggle for survival. Pariz, accustomed to indifference and pain, seeks to escape her reality through cigarettes while confronting her own emotional emptiness. On the other hand, Lápiz, a girl with a past of abuse and loneliness, has never known love in any form. Her childhood was marked by abuse at her old school and the abandonment of any family figure. Now, with a closed and distrustful personality, she finds it hard to open up to others. She lives in a constant state of distrust, unable to connect with those around her, slowly opening up to new emotions, cherishing them, but also denying them. She constantly fights with herself to accept experiences and learn from them, recalling blocked memories and disturbing experiences, confronting them little by little to discover herself. Each character in the story has their own background and development. Johan, JJ, Joakin, and other companions, all with their own wounds and motivations, play a fundamental role in the growth and transformation of Pariz and Lápiz. As they face their own trials of pain and redemption, their paths intertwine, leading each one to confront what they fear most: their own fears, traumas, and the possibility of finding something as foreign to them as love and acceptance, in a small group of young people wounded in different ways, hiding it to be with others. "Beyond Pain and Loneliness" is a raw and unembellished exploration of the effects of abuse, loneliness, emotional dependency, and the desire to belong. It is a story unafraid to show the darkness of life and the disappointment of any attempt to escape that hole, but it also highlights the sparks of salvation in a poetic way, even if imperfect and filled with scars.

A weak, powerless boy in a modern-medieval world of monsters, powers, magic, and guns, on his way to become the strongest man in the world, but at what cost...? (WARNING: THIS NOVEL CONTAINS DARK, ADULT THEMES)

In the aftermath of Shadows Protocol, the world remains a perilous landscape of covert missions, political intrigues, and underground conflicts. As tensions between nations escalate, Pakistan’s elite intelligence team, led by the seasoned agent Zayan Malik, faces their greatest challenge yet—a rescue mission fraught with deception, betrayal, and unexpected alliances. It all begins with the sudden and mysterious disappearance of Zayan during a crucial mission in Lebanon. Tasked with intercepting and dismantling joint Israeli and Indian covert operations, the mission ends in catastrophe. A massive explosion rocks the target area, and Zayan is presumed dead, caught in the blast. His team—comprising Ubaid, Irfan, Kashif, and Captain Rizwan—finds themselves reeling from the loss of their leader, grappling with grief, doubt, and a profound sense of betrayal. The mission, which had seemed straightforward, now hangs over them as an unsolved mystery. Ten days pass in an agonizing blur of mourning and frustration until Aaliya, the team’s brilliant intelligence specialist, intercepts a cryptic communication hinting that Zayan might still be alive, held captive in Israel. The faint hope reignites the team’s determination, and Major Hamza, their chief, authorizes a new mission. The stakes are higher than ever as they covertly enter Israel, operating under intense scrutiny and evading a network of traps. However, the trail leads them to nothing—a carefully orchestrated ruse to lure them into enemy territory. Humiliated and disheartened, the team returns home, their trust in the intelligence community shaken, but Aaliya remains unconvinced that this is the end of their search. Months pass with no solid leads until a fragment of intelligence surfaces, pointing towards an oil refinery in the depths of Iraq. The team, though battered by the earlier failure, seizes this opportunity. They gather their equipment, resolve bolstered by the possibility that Zayan might be closer than ever. Major Hamza authorizes the mission, knowing the risks but also understanding that this could be their last chance to save their comrade. The journey to Iraq is fraught with peril, the team navigating hostile terrain, avoiding enemy patrols, and using every trick in their book to remain undetected. Every step they take is a step closer to a potential ambush, but they move with purpose, each of them understanding that this is a mission they cannot afford to fail. The refinery stands in a barren desert, surrounded by armed guards, patrolled by drones, and fortified with defenses. The team moves under the cover of night, taking up positions around the target. Ubaid, Irfan, and Kashif, with the patience of seasoned operatives, wait for the perfect moment to strike. Aaliya monitors the situation from afar, guiding them through the labyrinthine pathways and providing vital surveillance. As dawn approaches, the atmosphere is electric with tension, every sound amplified in the quiet desert night. Suddenly, the operation erupts into a firefight, bullets ricocheting off metal structures and grenades detonating amidst the chaos. The refinery becomes a battlefield, the echoes of gunfire blending with the sounds of the desert. The team pushes forward, cutting through the defenses and leaving a trail of destruction behind them. They know the cost of hesitation—failure means losing Zayan forever, and they are prepared to make any sacrifice necessary. Deep within the refinery’s underground levels, they locate a fortified chamber. The sight inside shocks them—Zayan, their leader, chained and barely conscious, his body bruised and battered from days of captivity. Hope mingles with fury as they realize the true extent of his ordeal. Ubaid, his voice cracking, sends a desperate message back to Major Hamza: "الحمداللہ sir, Zayan is alive and he's with us, but he's badly injured. Mission accomplished."
