DEADLY PROTECTOR

Kidnapped at sixteen and returned to a life wrapped in wealth and surveillance, she grows up protected to the point of suffocation. At twenty-one, she is allowed freedom only in carefully measured doses like running a small publishing House, controlled outings, and two bodyguards who never leave her side. Sleep is fragile. Peace is temporary. When a panic-driven mistake brings her into the orbit of Alaric Voss, a man who thrives on control and silence, nothing about him resembles safety. He does not offer comfort. He does not explain. He does not soften. Alaric trains private security personnel for his fathers private security company and lives by rules that leave no room for emotion. When Alana asks him to teach her how to defend herself, he agrees under conditions as cold as his gaze: be early, be disciplined, or walk away. As her training sharpens her body, it also exposes truths neither of them are willing to name. Outside the dojo, a powerful figure from her past resurfaces, a man who believes ownership can be claimed, and that some debts are inherited. Caught between protection that cages her and strength that demands everything, Alana must decide whether learning to fight is enough or if reclaiming herself will cost more than she is ready to give. This is not a love story about rescue. Its about war in corporate society. war in love It is about restraint. trauma. healing. vicious circles that are deadly. About fear. A story of when a man who does not bend under any pressure meets what he hates. Definition of weakness. Yet he can't turn away. He fights his own demons daily without submitting and in his word fragility had no space. Yet he can't look away from the very picture of what he despises

My Monster Man

"Do you want to rape me?"Ira's voice came trembling. Vernon's expression didn't change. He bent closer until his face was only inches from hers, close enough that she could smell his deadly cologne. "Why don't you listen to me?" he asked quietly, almost gently. Ira was shaking heavily, but she forced herself to meet his eyes. "Because I want to destroy all of you." For a second worry flickered across Vernon's face, for her—for Ira. Vernon exhaled once — almost a sigh. "You're really stubborn. And an idiot." His phone buzzed from the room beside. Her retreated and went to the next room to answer it. Ira's gaze darted around wildly. On the small, scarred wooden table beside the bed sat a chipped fruit bowl. Inside it: one bruised apple… and the handle of a kitchen knife protruding from its side. Her pulse roared in her ears. She reached over—slowly at first, then faster—wrapped her fingers around the handle and yanked the blade free. A few flecks of apple clung to the steel. When Vernon turned back, phone still in his left hand, he froze. Ira was on her knees on the mattress now, both hands wrapped tight around the knife, point aimed outward. "Hey—hey! Are you crazy?" Vernon's voice cracked with sudden urgency. "Drop that!" "Send me home," Ira said, the words trembling but clear. "Right now." Vernon's jaw tightened. He knew he couldn't. Not yet. Kai's people would be watching the hotel, questioning staff, tracing every move. If they some how get to know about her, they'd destroy her. He made the calculation in seconds. Better to keep her here. A few days. Just long enough for the heat to die down. He took a careful step forward. Ira's grip tightened. "Don't come closer or I'll stab myself." Vernon didn't hesitate. He lunged. Ira swung wildly—but he was faster. His bandaged right hand closed around the blade. The knife bit deep into his palm through the gauze; fresh blood immediately soaked the white fabric. He didn't even flinch. ******** She believes he is a monster like those who raped her best friend and wants to destroy him. In truth, he is the man secretly protecting her from all those monsters, enduring every risk and hardship to keep her safe. In the rotting husk of a world where cities burn under atomic skies and power is measured in blood and blackmail, Draxton is owned by the Krossvales — seven orphaned brothers raised by a sadistic father into gods of violence.

The Girl He Wasn't Allowed to Touch.

This is a harrowing, emotionally devastating story about injustice, survival, and a love so pure that society mistakes it for sin. At the center stands Indrajit, a man whose life ended long before his heart stopped beating. Twelve years ago, at the age of twenty, Indrajit witnessed the brutal sexual assault and murder of his beloved girlfriend Tandra. Beaten nearly to death, pinned down, and rendered helpless, he was forced to listen as she screamed his name—begging him to save her. He could not. That moment shattered him forever. To shield the real perpetrators—wealthy, powerful men—the system did what it always does: it lied. Evidence was fabricated. Witnesses were silenced. And Indrajit was framed as both rapist and murderer. Society swallowed the lie without hesitation. His family, enslaved by honor and social image, disowned him. His father declared him dead. Funeral rites were performed for a son who was still breathing. Prison became his twelve-year-long apocalypse—an endless cycle of violence, humiliation, and psychological annihilation. Indrajit survived only through rage, guilt, and the echo of a promise he once made to Tandra: “I will always protect you.” A promise he believes he failed. Now thirty-two, Indrajit is released into a world that still sees him as a monster. Emotionally hollow, physically scarred, dependent on sleeping pills, and slowly destroying himself through starvation, he exists like a living corpse—waiting either for death or for one final reckoning. Fate places him in a decaying apartment complex where he meets his neighbors: Katha, a teenage schoolgirl glowing with innocence, and her mother Madhurima, a sex worker relentlessly humiliated, ostracized, and dehumanized by society. The colony’s residents—self-appointed moral guardians—unleash cruelty on both mother and daughter. Gossip, character assassination, and public shaming expose the deep hypocrisy, misogyny, and selective morality that thrive beneath respectability. In Katha and Madhurima, Indrajit recognizes a pain he knows too well—the pain of being judged without truth, condemned without mercy, and erased without trial. In a world where everyone hates and judges Indrajit, Katha was the only one to care for him. This made her the world to him . Though numb and broken, something within him stirs. Over time, Indrajit forms a quiet, profound bond with Katha. She heals him—she teaches him how to live again through small, human moments: conversation, laughter, curiosity, trust. Through her eyes, Indrajit slowly relearns what it means to breathe, to care, to exist beyond guilt. He becomes her silent shield in a hostile world. When society whispers that he is corrupting her… When rumors accuse him of stealing her innocence… When fingers point and morals scream— —he is the only one who never lays a finger on her. Their connection is deep, intense, and painfully pure—built on shared wounds, unspoken understanding, and unconditional protection. It is a love that dares not define itself, because the world has already decided it is wrong. Indrajit tries desperately to protect Katha from the cruelty of the world—knowing all too well what happens when innocence is left unguarded. But in doing so, he becomes the easiest villain to blame. This is not a story of forbidden desire. It is a story of forbidden humanity. A tragic tale where the man labeled a monster is the only one who knows how not to hurt, and the girl he was “never allowed to touch” becomes the reason he remembers how to live—even if it costs him everything.
