Hazrat

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 her 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 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 now. After the ghosts sudden warning of a killing spree he has finally return to the place he spent his life running from, and he is realising 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. But 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 that 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.

A withering flower at devil's mercy

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please… let me go,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child. Why did you come back?” he murmured, his lips trailing down her neck as they had so many times before. “I… don’t know,” she managed, her voice barely a whisper. Luciana Mircea de Amanécer, princess of the Holy Empire that ruled the skies, had once lived in a world of beauty and privilege—a devoted father, joyful sisters, wealth, and a loving fiancé. Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped. But the white wedding gown was soon stained crimson, marking her descent into a life she could never have anticipated. Could she learn to accept a man for whom compassion was an unfamiliar luxury, or would the love she had left behind rise to rescue her?

BREAKING THROUGH HIS WALLS

Breaking Through His Walls –Synopsis Lena Marks never expected her life to be turned upside down by a man who seemingly had it all: wealth, power, and the kind of control over his emotions that made him nearly impossible to read. But when fate brings her face-to-face with Ethan O'Martin—brooding billionaire CEO and master of emotional distance—she’s thrust into a world where love is nothing more than a facade and vulnerability is a weakness. Their encounter begins in the most unexpected of places: the sterile, cold halls of a hospital. Lena, an ambitious psychology student with a deep understanding of the human psyche, couldn’t have predicted that her brother’s emergency would lead her into the orbit of Ethan, a man who hides his secrets behind carefully constructed walls. But the chemistry between them is undeniable, even if it’s one-sided—or so she thinks. What starts as a simple, seemingly insignificant contract—marry me to protect my image—soon turns into a battle of wills and emotions. Ethan’s icy exterior is impossible to ignore, but as Lena spends more time with him, she begins to see the cracks in his armor. Yet, her heart knows better than to fall for a man who can’t love her back. But as they navigate their fake marriage, a strange and undeniable bond grows between them, leaving Lena torn between her desire for independence and the intoxicating pull of a man who may never let her truly inside. As the fake marriage deepens, Lena finds herself caught between Ethan and two other men who challenge her perception of love and loyalty. A charming and insightful lecturer, who sees beneath her reserved exterior, becomes an unexpected source of support. And then there's a powerful business partner of Ethan’s, who knows the truth about their arrangement and offers Lena the kind of freedom she’s always craved. But Ethan’s indifference to her growing attraction to other men is nothing but a carefully controlled act. When jealousy starts to seep into his every interaction with Lena, the game changes—he might be more affected than he lets on. But Ethan’s past is a dark shadow that looms over everything they build. His first love—someone who left an indelible scar—returns to complicate things, forcing Ethan to confront the demons he’s buried deep within. And as Lena’s heart beats louder with every passing day, she wonders if she’s just another fleeting moment in Ethan’s emotionally fragmented world. Christian, Ethan’s loyal friend and emotional anchor, tries to guide both of them through the chaos, but the walls between Lena and Ethan only seem to grow higher. With each passing day, they inch closer to a breaking point. Will the truth of Ethan’s feelings finally emerge from the dark corners of his heart, or will his past destroy any chance they have at happiness? Lena’s journey is as much about self-discovery as it is about love. With her own walls built over years of emotional baggage, she must decide whether to risk everything on a man who can’t seem to let anyone in. As their relationship teeters on the edge of passion and heartbreak, both must decide if they are willing to break through their walls—before it’s too late. Breaking Through His Walls is a breathtaking exploration of love’s complexity, the walls we build to protect ourselves, and the vulnerability we must embrace to truly heal. Will Lena and Ethan’s relationship survive the tests of trust, jealousy, and painful pasts? Or will they be forced to walk away from a love they never saw coming? ---
