How many years ..... have passed? Uh..one...two...three... uh..four...five..hmm. Five years....hmm..uhhhh...haahaaahaaa...[laughing loudly] ..Finally...finally..it is ready ..I am ready... screaming loudly Indra looked at his hands then towards the glittery glowing greenish blue crystal which had been just a plain black rock for last five years. He had been waiting stuck in a room with transparent walls surrounding him. The only view he could see outside was 'Nothing'..There was nothing ..not even a single non living entity. It was dark all around..but sometimes he could see a pinkish light dispersed in the surrounding which used to disappear after some time. The room he was in had been floating in this darkness unaware of where it was heading just lost in this pin drop silence. Surprisingly he had not been hungry nor tired in these five years. But he felt he would go insane in this loneliness and eternal silence....

Yang Huaian actually traveled through time, and traveled through time to a mother's belly! It's over, he traveled through time and became a fetus! And he became the garbage that the old woman said was to be aborted! He was going to be aborted at the beginning, God, are you kidding me! Thinking of this, Yang Huaian felt speechless. He had already died once, could it be that he would die again before he was born? ... No sign in except in womb. No sign in prompt except in first chapter.

"Where were you last night?” “Take off your clothes, and I’ll answer.” “Don’t play games with me. Where did you go?” “We’re not married yet. What’s with the interrogation?” *** Never trust a woman who almost wore your sister’s ring—especially when that woman is Giovanna Lombardi. They call her La Leonessa, the most dangerous woman in Brookhaven. She claimed me. Married me. But this isn’t a marriage. It’s a hostage situation. She wants my family’s empire, my obedience, my body—but only when it amuses her. But I want to survive the year, to find who really killed my sister, and maybe have a little fun while at it. The problem, someone keeps shooting at us. But the bigger problem is, I don’t know if it’s her, my father, or me.

Cynthia Fola is a woman who seems to have it all. A celebrated author. A loving wife. A devoted mother. Her books have touched hearts across the world, yet the story she’s never told is the one still bleeding inside her. Six years ago, in the silence of her apartment, she miscarried a child she never told anyone about. Not her friends. Not her therapist. Not even Damson, the man whose name she whispered through the pain. He left her soon after, never knowing what she lost. She never asked why. She just survived. Now living in quiet elegance with her husband Levi and their son Adam, Cynthia has carefully rebuilt a life that looks whole. But when a professional event in Dubai brings Damson back into view — older, bolder, and standing on the very stage she’s meant to own — the walls she’s held up begin to crack. Memories return with force. Her body remembers the ache. Her heart remembers the silence. And in the glow of chandeliers and applause, she is forced to confront the love that left her, the pain that shaped her, and the truth she buried beneath success. Cry Me a River is a lyrical, unflinching portrait of grief, motherhood, marriage, and memory. It is the story of a woman who gave everything to protect someone’s dream, only to nearly die in the process — and what happens when that dream returns, asking for her voice again.

For Arata Itsuki, life is a movie where he's just a background character. His mission is simple: be invisible, graduate peacefully, and never get involved in the drama of the main characters. He is a master observer, and his primary subject is Aizawa Nanami—the goddess of perfection, the school idol whose life seems flawless. Their worlds were never meant to intersect, save for one anomaly: the cold hatred Aizawa Nanami always directs at him, a mystery too exhausting for Arata to solve. But his gray routine is shattered when he witnesses the tragedy that takes Nanami's life right before his eyes. That horror should have been the end of an ordinary day, but for Arata, it was just the beginning. He wakes up on the same day. Again, and again. Trapped in a prison of time, Arata soon realizes the only rule in this loop of fate: the day resets every time Aizawa Nanami meets a tragic end. Arata, the apathetic background character, is now forced to be the hero in a story that isn't his. The problem is, how do you save someone who wants nothing to do with you? Someone whose gaze could freeze your blood? With each repetition, Arata begins to see the cracks behind Nanami's perfect mask. He soon understands that the accident was no coincidence, but the climax of an unseen suffering hidden behind the goddess's smile. To break the cycle, Arata must become not only her protector, but also a detective, unraveling a past trauma that is the root of Nanami's hatred for him. Faced with a repeating destiny, Arata must find the answer to an impossible question: IF I DIE TOMORROW, WILL YOU CRY TODAY?

She was the girl no one really saw—quiet, average, always fading into the background. Until one exam day changed everything. A boy she barely knew walked into the room, and with a single glance, her heart found something it didn’t know it was searching for.

Against all odds, she stood up again, forced a second chance, and promised herself to never rely on anyone else. Now, in Class 12, she’s ready to begin again—with her best friend beside her, her dreams burning quietly, and love still hidden in her heart. Seated in Silence, Loved in Secret is an urban romantic fantasy about quiet girls with loud hearts, unseen love, and the courage it takes to rewrite your future—one chapter at a time.

When his lovely bird, Layla, opened the cage he built and flew away, Matthias had made his cruel decision: “If I lose her forever and can’t get her back, I’d rather kill her.”

In the midnight glare of neon lights and city noise, the vibrant facade of a nightclub masks a darker undercurrent of despair, rebellion, and choices that shape destinies. “Nocturne of Ashes” begins with a powerful confrontation between two cousins—one upright and studious, the other rebellious and lost in the neon haze of nightlife. Zhou Chaochao, a principled and composed young woman, finds herself outside the nightclub "Huise," desperately trying to pull her cousin Zhou Yuan out of the shadows. Zhou Yuan, only seventeen, has dropped out of school to work in a club as a hostess. With her provocative appearance and defiant attitude, she is a stark contrast to Zhou Chaochao’s buttoned-up demeanor. Despite their childhood bond, they’ve grown apart—one ascending the path of education, the other descending into the city’s underbelly. What unfolds between them is a heart-wrenching conversation that reveals more than just diverging life choices—it peels back layers of pain, social inequality, and broken families. Zhou Yuan is not merely rebellious; she is a young woman cornered by circumstance. With a mentally ill mother and a gambling father, she’s learned that beauty and street smarts are her only currency. To her, books are a luxury for the privileged, not a lifeline for survival. Just when Zhou Chaochao is about to give up, the night takes a darker turn. Lost in the chaotic crowd inside the club, she finds herself harassed by drunken thugs at the door. It's here that the story shifts from emotional drama to tense suspense—until a mysterious man steps in. Enter Lu Lie—a cold, disheveled, and enigmatic figure with a piercing gaze and a dangerous aura. With swift decisiveness, he pulls Zhou Chaochao into his arms, saving her from potential harm. But he’s no knight in shining armor. He’s rough around the edges, brimming with cynicism, and seems to carry a past full of shadows. Their brief, charged encounter leaves Zhou Chaochao stunned—especially because she remembers him from long ago, though he doesn’t seem to recognize her. This single night sets off a ripple of emotions and consequences. For Zhou Chaochao, it marks the beginning of a silent awakening—into a world far darker and more complicated than the pages of her textbooks. For Lu Lie, it's just another detour on a mission rooted in danger, as he receives a coded message through his earpiece hinting at an undercover operation. “Nocturne of Ashes” is not just a tale of reunion or rescue—it’s a layered exploration of moral ambiguity, youthful rebellion, and the choices that define us. At its core, it’s about two people whose lives shouldn’t intersect, and yet do—in the most unexpected way, on the most dangerous night. This story blends urban grit with emotional vulnerability, making it a compelling read for fans of realistic fiction, suspense, and emotional drama. Through raw dialogue, tightly paced scenes, and rich character psychology, it invites readers to ask: When the world has already labeled you a “bad person,” is redemption still possible?

"Lost in Flames, Found in Dark" Some love stories don’t begin with hello. They begin after the end. She was once the light in someone’s storm — wild, warm, unforgettable. Then, in a single moment, Shruti vanished. No note. No clues. Only a silence that shattered the hearts left behind. He searched for her like a man possessed. Burned down every lie, bled for every truth — until all that remained was rage... and a love too deep to bury. Years passed. And somewhere far from the wreckage of the life she once knew, a girl opened her eyes in a hospital bed. Her name was different. Her reflection — unfamiliar. But the ache in her soul? The flashes of another life? All too real. A scar she doesn’t remember getting. A voice she still hears in her dreams. And eyes — cold, broken, beautiful — that feel like home. He doesn't know her. Not anymore. But something in him stirs when she’s near. A storm. A memory. A promise not yet fulfilled. As their worlds collide once more, past and present bleed into one. The girl who shouldn't exist remembers a life no one believes. And the boy who lost everything now stands at the edge of rediscovery… and ruin. This isn’t just a second chance. It’s fate demanding what death tried to steal. Love. Longing. Pain. Fire. And a mystery that binds their souls beyond lifetimes. Because some hearts never stop searching. Some memories refuse to fade. And some love stories are written in scars. --- SNEAK PEEK The night air was sharper than she'd expected, and the thin fabric of her top did nothing to help—but she’d already refused his jacket with full drama ten minutes ago. Pride came before comfort, apparently. From the couch behind her, Dhruv watched in silence. Head slightly tilted, fingers resting near his lips. He didn’t comment. Yet. “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?” she muttered. “A little,” he admitted. She rolled her eyes, still facing the balcony. “This is where a gentleman offers warmth. Maybe a hot drink. Or, you know... human decency.” “You rejected the jacket and the blanket. Can’t save you from yourself.” She opened her mouth to sass back, “Unbelievable.” Before she could finish being annoyed, she felt him. He was behind her—close. His body heat rolled into her back like a slow, deliberate wave. She gasped softly, more out of surprise than cold. His hands slid into hers with quiet certainty, wrapping them up gently. Then, his arms circled around her waist, pulling her lightly against him. Her breath caught as his chest pressed warmly against her back, the thin fabric of her top doing nothing to shield her from the way his warmth spread over her skin. “Dhruv!” she gasped, her voice half protest, half flustered mess. Her words scrambled as he leaned a little closer, breath grazing the side of her neck. “Better?” he asked, low and completely unaffected.

I Call It Love Uninvited, yet it came just the same Love that settled deep within my chest Etched in place, without knowing When it will ever fade.
