betrayal

What if there was someone who could have saved Ai? Not out of love—but out of guilt and responsibility? What if Ai really did watch over her children, just like in that season 2 opening... not as a dream, but as truth hidden in the shadows? Oshi no Ko: Rewritten tells a parallel story, one that honors the original but explores the possibility that Ai was alive all along—protected by someone who carried the weight of a past mistake... and the burden of redemption.

Have you ever missed someone you never met? Don't even know..? Have you ever grieved someone for a whole lifetime without ever knowing them. Yea, you feel your existence soo useless and nonsense, slipping away day by day into nothingness. You wanna stop but there's no end. You don't want to wake up the next morning but you forget everyday lying in bed, you don't sleep. Sleep is a luxury that doesn't happen to you anymore. Perhaps in this cold world you so desperately want a warm shadow that lines of reality and imaginations have blurred and you can't now separate one from another.. perhaps you started it all to console yourself and ended up walking in the trap of your own mind and her, the mansion. Hashim has lives his whole life in sadness he cannot explain. He has suffered from depression and anxiety all her life, not just because he lost his family but also because he can see ghosts of dead. Especially a ghost that has haunted him for his whole life. Since his birth to the day. He knows she has something to do with a haunted mansion called 'Hazrat'. She is the only ghost he has never seen fully. Just her feet, pale like that dead man's toe fungus. She’s always tried to lure him back to Hazratgarh, the city of his mother’s death, the city of the haunted mansion: Hazrat. But he never returned. Until one day when he recieved the news of his grandfather's death and the lawyer told him about an unexpected inheritance of a billion dollar wasted mansion. Yes, Hazrat. Curosity killed the cat and he has finally return to the place he spent his life running from. He thought maybe, if he has answer to his questions, if only he knows why him.. perhaps he'd be able to end his suffering. But life is a game of fate and he is realising, once back home, that there's so much to uncover, investigate, discover and regret. So many grudges to resolve. The mystery of his mother's death along with 40 others. The story of the mansion and the ghost. But with all lines blurred, how and what can be trusted as his hallucinations grow. Things begin to surface. A journal written in a dead dialect and the words feel like something he almost remembers. A name that keeps appearing—Anahita. A series of dreams that feel more like memories. And paintings. Paintings that he doesn’t remember making, of people he’s never met, in places he’s never been—but they exist. As past and present blur, Hashim begins to suspect that the truth behind the fire—and the city itself—might be older than history. And far more personal than he ever imagined. But are all those happenings and ghosts even real? They say memory is a fragile thing. But what if it isn’t his? What if the grief isn’t his? What if the tears, the guilt, the love—belong to someone long gone? Someone whose ghost sleeps beneath his skin. What if his hallucinations are someone else’s memories? As reality begins to fracture around him, Hashim must navigate a city with too many ghosts, a family history no one will admit, and a version of himself he no longer recognizes. It's said, the soul remembers what the mind has forgotten. And this mansion—it remembered everything. As if it wasn’t four hundred years ago. As if it was just... yesterday. When a delusional man inherits a mansion haunted by his own forgotten sins, the past claws back through mirrors, butterflies, and the ghost of a girl who never wanted to be remembered, Hashim finds himself drawn into a story that isn’t entirely his… or maybe always was. In Hazrat, nothing is as it seems. Not the ghosts. Not the city. And certainly not the man who calls himself Hashim. A novel of delusions, hauntings, and histories that refuse to stay buried. Hazrat is a psychological horror novel steeped in forgotten royalty, buried guilt, and the thin, crumbling line between memory and madness.

When a mutilated corpse is found by a sacred river in a quiet West African village, a troubled detective teams up with a spiritual elder and a young woman with a mysterious past to uncover a centuries-old curse tied to a drowned river queen—one whose song was silenced, and who now demands the world listen.

Content Warning: This novel contains graphic depictions of violence, gore, and explicit erotic scenes. Reader discretion is strongly advised. A storm was supposed to be nothing more than an inconvenience. When Zixuan and her friends take shelter in an abandoned bus station to escape the sudden downpour, they believe they’re simply waiting for the rain to pass. But as the hours stretch on and the exits vanish, it becomes clear that this station isn’t just deserted—it’s a trap. Doors begin to appear where there were none before. Strange, cold hallways beckon. Each door they open pulls them deeper into a maze of shifting realities and forgotten memories, forcing them to confront scenes from a past they don’t remember living—haunting echoes of pain, betrayal, desire, and death. As paranoia sets in and the group begins to unravel, Zixuan realizes the truth is more horrifying than she imagined: they have been here before. This place knows them. It remembers everything they tried to forget. And someone, or something is orchestrating each cruel revelation with precision. Why were their memories taken? What really happened here? And what will be left of them once every door is opened? Let Me Out is a visceral, mind-bending descent into trauma, guilt, and twisted desire—where the past won’t stay buried, and the only way out is through the truth they were never meant to forget—but then one of them broke the rule.

This is the story of Lara, a young woman from modern times, raised with one purpose: to exact revenge on the family of the general who destroyed her own. But fate had other plans. On her way to carry out her mission of vengeance, a twist in the plan led to disaster. Lara was struck by a military truck escorting the very general she intended to assassinate. When she awoke, she found herself in an entirely different world—one where her identity and purpose were starkly different from the life she had known and how she had been molded to be. Abducted by human traffickers, she outsmarted them and escaped. Then, she encountered a mysterious martial arts master whose ancient skills far surpassed her own. For two years, she trained with him in the remote mountains.  One fateful day, while staying deep in the jungle of Mount Ourea, Lara stumbled upon the Prince of Northem, disguised as an ordinary commander. He was gravely injured while pursuing a notorious group of bandits. Lara saved him and found herself entangled in the war that raged for two years. Lara, disguised as a soldier, volunteered to deliver a very important message to the generals of the Northem army, embroiled in a fierce battle against the bandits, the rebels, and soldiers of Estalis in the Alta-Sierra mountain range. Amid the chaos, Lara was swept onto the battlefield. During the battle, fate played another cruel hand. Lara came face to face with General Odin and his sons—only to discover that General Odin was the spitting image of the general she had been trained to assassinate. Could the man from her world be a descendant of this brave general? Torn between her mission and her newfound reality, Lara faced an impossible question: How could she kill her biological father? Her internal conflict deepened when she uncovered an elaborate plot to frame General Odin and his sons as traitors. The true culprits? His subordinates and trusted allies. In an ironic twist of fate, Lara found herself becoming the 'protector' of the family that, in modern times, she was supposed to ruin. After the war, Lara returned as a hero, ready to reveal her identity to General Odin, but she learned of another betrayal. Her cousin, Mira—the orchestrator of her abduction—had taken over her identity. Mira lived in her home under the guise of comforting Lara's grief-stricken mother because of the death of her only daughter. Not only that, she also did a lot of scheming and eventually claimed Lara's betrothal to Prince Alaric. With her identity stolen and her mission turned upside down, Lara faced a new challenge: reclaiming her life and honor and protecting her new family.

Dear Reader, My name is Lola, and this isn’t just a book about dating. It’s about living. Yes, there are dates. Hundreds, actually. Some real. Some exaggerated for comedic relief (because trauma is exhausting and humor is free). But behind every swipe, every dinner, every wild story, there’s a woman surviving. A woman unraveling. A woman rebuilding. This is about me, my life, my heartbreaks, my hilarity, my healing. The messy, sacred chaos of it all. You’ll meet exes (some I married, some I should’ve blocked), friends who became family, and red flags I mistook for carnival rides. You’ll also find the truth I spent years avoiding— about love, motherhood, neurodivergence, faith, fear, and finally choosing myself. This isn’t a self-help book, but if it helps, I’m glad. It’s not an advice column, but if it feels like one sometimes, that’s okay too. Think of it more like a long, unfiltered letter from a big sister who’s been through it and wants to make you laugh, cry, and maybe pack a spare car seat... just in case. So settle in. You’re not alone. I’ve got stories to tell. With love, Lola

Grief leaves no room for instructions. It comes, uninvited, and settles like fog, thick, persistent, and blinding. For Daniel Lewis, CEO of a billion-Leones tech empire and head of one of the country’s most influential families, the world never stopped moving after his wife’s death, but his did. He buried the pain beneath polished suits and endless meetings, pouring all that was left of him into the only person that still tied him to her, their daughter, Betty. Betty was once a bright, talkative girl with a laugh that could melt a room. But the accident that claimed her mother’s life also stole her voice. Five years later, she hadn’t spoken a single word. Specialist after specialist had failed to reach her, and her silence became a fortress no one could breach. Until Esther walked in. She wasn’t a licensed expert. Not yet. Just a 21-year-old child psychology student with soft eyes, a quiet determination, and a heart bigger than her experience. Hired as a live-in governess and emotional support tutor, Esther’s job was simple: help Betty speak again, help her live again. But no one warned her that in healing the child, she might touch the man as well. Daniel didn’t expect to feel anything. Not for a woman so much younger. Not for anyone ever again.

About love rediscovered. About a man haunted by his past. A girl chasing her dreams. And a child who, through them, finds her voice again. Sometimes, the second time around… love writes a better ending.

Or can he find, amidst the rubble of his former life, the strength to face what comes, and perhaps, just perhaps, forge a new path? His journey unfolds... At the Edge of the Abyss.
