Demons Around Us

Shadows Of Us

A decade ago, "Arjun Malhotra", a ruthless billionaire, and "Meera Sharma", a determined woman with dreams of her own, shared a connection that was undeniable yet destructive. Arjun, terrified of emotional attachment, refused to acknowledge his love and instead made a cruel, inappropriate proposal that shattered Meera’s heart. Choosing self-respect over love, Meera walked away, vowing never to look back. Time moved on. Meera built a peaceful life with "Raghav", a kind-hearted man who gave her stability and love. She embraced motherhood, raising their daughter, "Aarini", and balanced her responsibilities with quiet strength. Meanwhile, Arjun buried himself in power, wealth, and fleeting distractions, yet nothing filled the void she left behind. Fate has other plans when Meera unknowingly takes a job at "Arjun’s firm", unaware that he is the one pulling the strings. The moment he sees her again, Arjun’s obsession reignites—this time, he refuses to lose her. Using his power, influence, and emotional manipulation, he weaves himself back into her life, determined to break the barriers she built. As Arjun orchestrates subtle manipulations—forcing late-night meetings, creating moments of doubt about Raghav, and playing on Meera’s emotions—she finds herself caught between the shadows of her past and the life she built. Her once unwavering resolve begins to tremble as old wounds resurface, and the man she once loved becomes an inescapable force in her world. With Raghav sensing the growing strain and Arjun relentless in his pursuit, Meera stands at a crossroads. Will she fight for the love she chose, or will the haunting pull of her past consume her once again? "Shadows of Us" is a gripping tale of love, obsession, and the dangerous allure of unfinished emotions—where the past refuses to stay buried, and the heart is forced to confront the shadows it once ran from.

Rediscovering Us

Emily wakes up in a hospital with no memory of her past, only to find Tyler, a man who claims to be her boyfriend, by her side. He tells her they had a beautiful relationship before her accident, and though she doesn’t remember, she trusts his words. Tyler is gentle, patient, and always there for her—so why does a part of her feel empty? As she tries to adjust to her new life, Emily encounters Ethan Blackwood, a cold and distant CEO who looks at her with a storm of emotions hidden behind his sharp gaze. The moment their eyes meet, a sharp pain shoots through Emily’s head, followed by fleeting memories—ones that contradict Tyler’s version of her past. Ethan refuses to acknowledge their connection, acting as if she means nothing to him. But why does her heart ache when he turns away? Something isn’t right. Every time Emily questions her past, Tyler dodges the topic. The way he watches her, the way he subtly keeps her away from certain people—it feels like he’s hiding something. Desperate for answers, she turns to Ethan’s secretary, Oliver, hoping he can fill in the blanks. At first, Oliver hesitates, clearly torn between loyalty and concern, but soon he confirms Emily’s suspicions—Tyler is lying. The truth slowly unravels—Ethan wasn’t just someone she knew; he was her real lover. Their love had once been deep and unbreakable, yet something tore them apart. But if Ethan loved her, why did he let her go? Why is he avoiding her now? As Emily digs deeper, she discovers a horrifying truth—her accident wasn’t an accident at all. Someone wanted her to forget. Someone wanted to erase Ethan from her life. But why? The more she uncovers, the more danger follows her. Tyler grows more possessive, Ethan refuses to open his heart, and the pieces of the past don’t add up. When the real reason behind her accident comes to light, Emily is faced with a devastating choice—fight for the love she once had or live in the lie she was forced into. In a world where memories can be stolen and love can be rewritten, Emily must uncover the truth before it’s too late. But will Ethan still be there when she remembers everything? Or has she already lost him forever?

Decietful Allure (Around the fireplace series)

The light of the fireplace cast long shadows on the wall, the fire reflected in the eyes of the woman sitting on the couch with a blanket over her shoulders. She had a bittersweet smile on her face as her mind traveled to the past days, nights long passed, nights she shared with her family when she was a kid. Memories she hoped to bring alive if possible. First story: a story adaptation of a popular folklore in Nigeria; The Princess and the half man; She had sworn on her mother's grave never to be blinded by emotions. But It'd seem she took after her mom in that aspect after all. Throwing all caution to the wind just for a man. She had thought she was different from the rest, leave it to reality to smack her back to her senses. Her feelings for her dad was complicated, she could say she hated him, but that was not quite true, no matter what, he was still her father. The one who pampers and gives in to her every whim. She knew it was partly guilt and the fact she was his only daughter out of a battalion of boys that contributed to his attitude towards her. But so what, she didn't care much for affection, all she had cared for was getting what she wanted, and that had been true about her, until now. Authors note: As a kid my dad will always sit us down at night, outside, in the darkness and tell us the most delightful stories of kingdoms long passed, Princesses and princes, magical creatures, much to the delight of us kids. But there's not much of that nowadays. So I want to share these delightful stories with everyone and I hope by doing this, these stories will not get lost in the sands of time. Thank you, have a nice read.

Rays of Us

In the dystopian city of Rylos, where the government dictates love through a behavioral score-based lottery, Nico Knight is a man who’s always gotten what he wants. A nightclub tycoon with a reputation, he’s never had to answer to anyone until the lottery pairs him with Odalis, a quiet librarian with an air of calm that feels almost too controlled. To Nico, Odalis is a puzzle of a woman too ordinary, too unremarkable to pique his interest. But there’s something about her stillness that begins to intrigue him. Beneath the surface, he senses a storm she’s carefully hiding. Nico finds himself questioning whether he really knows what he wants or if his true challenge lies in the mystery of Odalis herself. (Sneak peak scene) Nico slouched on the couch, drunk, eyes fixed on Odalis as she read, the quiet hum of the room wrapping around them like a soft cocoon. Nico: You know, I never imagined a woman like you would be in my life. Quiet, composed... not my taste. Odalis (without looking up): And what did you imagine? Nico: Someone like me. Loud. Reckless. Odalis: Sorry for the disappointment. He blinked, his eyelids heavy, the pull of sleep growing stronger. Nico: “You’re like... an angel, in the wrong place.” His head dropped back, surrendering to sleep. Odalis glanced at him, a faint smile playing at her lips. Odalis (whispering): “You’re wrong, Nico Knight. Maybe the wrong place is exactly where I need to be.” She tucked him in, the soft rustle of fabric the only sound, and returned to her book. The silence between them now felt strangely comfortable.
