The city lights blinked like a million artificial stars, but Eva had never felt lonelier. After four long years away, she returned home with hope—hope to reconnect with her parents, to find warmth in the familiar streets of her childhood. But reality greeted her with cold silence. Her parents were never there. Her apartment was lifeless. And one knock at the door was all it took to shatter what little stability she had left. Now homeless, numb, and clinging to the last threads of hope, Eva sat beneath the bridge she once played under as a child… only to meet a stranger. A man with piercing blue eyes. A single word from his lips. A command that would unknowingly change the course of her life. Max was a mystery wrapped in shadows—cold, distant, untouchable. But beneath the layers of steel was something even he couldn’t name. Watching Eva disappear into the night stirred a heaviness in his chest he thought he’d buried long ago. As Eva struggles to hold herself together, Lily—her loyal best friend—becomes her only lifeline. But fate is already weaving its threads, pulling her toward Max… a man tied to secrets, power, and danger she can’t yet imagine. In a city alive with noise but empty of warmth, can two broken souls find solace in each other? Or will the past—hidden under the neon lights—tear them apart before they even begin?

"I wanted him to see me. Now he can't look away." He was perfect. Successful. Charming. The kind of man women crave without ever touching. But I didn't want just a moment- I wanted forever. So I did what no sane woman would ever do: I took him. And now, as he stands in front of me with those eyes-dark, dangerous, devouring-I know: He's not the kind of man you admire from afar. He's the kind of man you fear. Those eyes-damn those eyes. They speak louder than words. They see me like I'm everything he's ever wanted. But in that gaze, there's no love. Only something deeper. Darker. What began as obsession has become something far more dangerous- a twisted game of control, power, and desire. And there's no way out. Not for him. Not for me. For those who believe in the darker side of love- and are willing to lose control to find it.

THAT FEELING WHEN YOU READ

ZOYA was born into a world that never truly welcomed her. From the very beginning, her existence was met with disappointment—because she was a girl. Unlike other children, Zoya faced developmental challenges; she struggled to understand the world around her, found it difficult to speak clearly, and lacked the communication skills that others took for granted. For this, she was ignored, ridiculed, and treated like a shadow within her own home. But even in the darkness, Sanvi had a spark—she was brilliant in her studies. Slowly, silently, she began to grow. Yet, just as she stepped into school, life grew even crueler. She became a victim of relentless bullying, day after day. And she bore it all alone. Her fear of her abusive and violent family silenced her pain. She learned early on that speaking up only brought more hurt. Years passed. The wounds she hid never healed—but she kept walking forward, searching for something—perhaps love, perhaps peace. But fate had other plans. She fell for someone younger, a love the world would never understand. Meanwhile, tragedy struck her home in ways that shattered her soul. Still, Zoya refused to break. This is a haunting tale of a girl who was unloved, unheard, and unseen—yet dared to survive. Through betrayal, heartbreak, and loss, Sanvi’s journey is one of quiet strength, hidden battles, and the desperate hope that maybe, just maybe, she deserved more.

To survive, he must evolve. Not to be strong — but to stop breaking. Because in this world, even the broken can become gods. Anthesis of Sadness is a journey of blood, will, and transformation — where the deepest tragedy may not be death… but the person we become to survive.

This very book consists of original poetries that are very personal to me. This is my first book of poetry, that is raw and dug deep within me. The scars and wounds were fresh from the battlefield. It took a toll on my mental health. But I am a strong survivor, who is ready to share my story with the world.

I have to keep my difficulties within because that is the only way I can physically prevent myself from trying to commit suicide. Is it not preferable to be physically dead but mentally dead? I am currently accustomed to being mentally dead, and no one would know unless I made an effort to tell them otherwise. If being deported means leaving this world, I should keep my true emotions and personality hidden from this world and act as if everything is well when it is not. Verbally, emotionally, physically, and mentally. My entire identity was ruined. My understanding of reality was destroyed.
