An Incomplete Forever
KATRINA The pounding in my head felt like a drum being beaten from the inside. Ugh… never drinking that much again. Of course, that was a lie, I’d probably do it all over again next time. My day off had been spent exactly how my family and I always did—drinking, singing, dancing, barbecuing. Even if we were just at home, we made a party out of it. That was just our way of life.

Firestorm
Chapter One - The Beginning of the Storm The Prince Shihab sat on his throne in the imperial palace, quietly contemplating the green gardens surrounding him. Despite all the wealth and power he enjoyed, he did not feel at ease. He was worried about the future of his empire, which he inherited from his parents. Queen Amalia entered the room with firm steps, her face red with anger. "What is this I hear about a conspiracy against you?" she asked loudly. Shihab sighed heavily. "I don't know the details yet, but General Rafik has indicated rumors of a potential betrayal." The Queen's anger increased. "This cannot be true! We are the emperor's family; how dare anyone plot against us?" "I don't know, Mother. But we need to investigate the matter cautiously. We don't want to rush into actions that might lead to chaos." At that moment, General Rafik entered the hall with a worried look on his face. "Your Majesty, there is disturbing news. A fiery storm has appeared on the horizon and is heading towards the city." Shihab looked outside the window. On the horizon, he saw clouds of flame quickly moving towards the palace. He felt fear creeping over him. "This can't be a mere coincidence. There are evil forces lurking around us." Queen Amalia frowned. "This matter is more serious than we anticipated. We must take immediate action to protect the city and the people." Shihab raised his hand, pointing to the general. "Rafik, send messengers immediately to all parts of the empire. Ask the army to prepare to defend the city. And you, Mother, gather the advisors immediately. We need to discuss this new threat." The general smiled confidently. "At once, Your Majesty." Then he quickly left. Queen Amalia and Shihab remained alone. She looked at him sharply. "This matter is very serious. I don't know if we can withstand these threats." Shihab raised his head bravely. "We must try. If we don't, our empire will fall. I can't allow that." The queen smiled proudly. "You have grown to become a wise leader. I will do everything I can to help you." At that moment, General Rafik entered once more, his face flushed with effort. "Your Majesty, the forces have begun to move to defend the city. But there are worrying reports of attacks in remote areas." Shihab sighed with concern. "This confirms that there are hidden forces manipulating things from behind the scenes. We need to uncover the truth behind these events." Queen Amalia held her son's hand. "Don't worry, we will overcome this challenge together. We have faced hard times before, but we have always survived." Shihab looked at his mother with renewed confidence. "Yes, Mother. I will not give up easily. I will do my best to defend our empire." At that moment, the fiery storm appeared in the city's sky, casting its fearful shadows on the palace. Shihab felt anxiety coursing through his veins, but he clung to his determination. He was determined to face this new threat with all his strength.

The foundation of struggle
The foundation of struggle Arun had come to the city from the dusty streets of the village, his dreams were bigger than his bag. This boy, who used to run his father's small grocery store, now wanted to start an organic spices company named "Prakritik Swaad". The first six months were golden—a hit in the local market, praise from customers. But as soon as he dared to open a shop in a shopping mall, the sky fell on his head. Big companies, already established in the market, started selling goods at half the price of Arun's products. Their advertisements started airing in newspapers and TV channels. Arun was unable to survive the competition. Hey friend, why are these 'Swad Mahal' people targeting us? Arun asked his friend and colleague Raju. Raju opened an e-commerce website on his mobile—big companies were copying Arun's products and selling them at half the price. Arun's business ended. There were no customers for his goods now. That very evening, a huge hoarding of "Swad Mahal" came up in front of Arun's only shop. The customers kept looking on as if cheated. Arun could do nothing but helplessly keep looking at the Swaad Mahal shop in front of his shop where the crowd of customers kept on pouring in. "Son, why don't you leave all this and come back to the village?" The call from his mother rubbed salt on Arun's wounds. He spent that night staring at the empty walls of his office. Then his eyes fell on an old photo- Arun sitting with his father at the store in his childhood. His eyes welled up with tears, the peaceful life of the village, the villagers used to shop at the small shop. No other businessman used to compete with each other in this way. There was a lot of confusion in his mind but he did not have the option of losing. One Sunday morning, 70-year-old Mrs. Gupta came to his shop, son, your turmeric has reduced my arthritis pain by half! She handed Arun a diary- in which the traditional masala recipes of the village women were written. After reading the diary, Arun suddenly got an idea and the next week, Arun launched the "Rural Garden" project—women from villages would now make special spices for him that would be of good quality and purity and he could also keep their price low. Because now he would have to spend less on labor. Raju made viral videos on social media—stories of farmers, journey to the roots of spices. In one video, Arun showed "Swad Mahal" spices and his product mixed in water—his masala was leaving a layer of chemicals, while Arun's was a pure solution. The video got 2 lakh views. Arun's market had started shining again. When the sales of big companies started decreasing, big companies started cheating—they copied Arun's packets and put fake products in the market. One day the police surrounded his warehouse—a complaint has been received that your products contain pesticides! Everything came out fine in the investigation, but the news had become the headline of newspapers. Arun's hands were shaking when he held a press conference—I swear in front of my customers...my spices are completely pure and are prepared by rural women. All these are tricks of big companies. I am ready for any kind of investigation, if I am found wrong anywhere, then whatever punishment the public wants to give me, I am ready. Nothing wrong has been found anywhere in the investigation of the spices. The next day something amazing happened—more than 50 customers posted their photos on social media with the tag #Main_Arun_Ke_Saath_Hoon. A young woman wrote—"His spices have brought back my child's appetite." Gradually this campaign became a storm. Local restaurants included his products in the menu. "Swad Mahal" made an offer to buy Arun—5 crore rupees. That night Arun gathered the villagers. There was a question in everyone's eyes. This business is no longer just mine. Arun said, this is a monument of all of your hard work. The next day he turned down the offer. Today "Natural Swaad" employs 300 women from 50 villages. Big companies now ask them for partnership. The words hanging on the wall of Arun's office tell the story of his struggle - "We sell real fragrance, not fake glitter." This story is not just a business struggle, but a symbol of the victory of community solidarity and morality. Arun's journey shows that even a small effort done with honesty can challenge the demons of the market.

The King’s Maiden: My Review on this Dark, Spicy Why-Choose
I said it before, and I will repeat it: this is my first great reading discovery of 2025. The King’s Maiden is presented as a slow-burn why-choose romance, and while the spice is definitely burned slowly (but surely), we are mostly drawn into the complex relationships between the multiple love interests. This gradual buildup creates tension, expectation, and anticipation until we’re left just like Quinn—weak knees, shaking legs—pleading, "Please, Sir" (or rather, "Please, Elle, keep writing!").

Missing Pages
The members of the Willowbrook Bookclub had been meeting for years. It was their tradition to gather once a month, sharing their thoughts over books both new and old. They’d spent countless evenings analyzing stories, laughing over characters, and delving deep into plots. But that evening, as they gathered in the cozy back room of Millie's Bookshop, they would uncover a mystery that no one had ever expected. Maggie, the group’s most passionate reader, had chosen the latest book. It was an old novel she had found tucked away in a second-hand shop. "The Inheritance of Shadows," a mysterious gothic novel from the 1920s, had a few pages missing from its beginning. But Maggie insisted that the book would be worth reading regardless of its condition. She was wrong. As the evening wore on, the group discussed the twists in the plot and the eerie atmosphere of the book. The suspense in the writing was captivating, and the descriptions of the haunted mansion were vivid. But when they reached the final chapters, things began to feel off. The last few pages of the book were oddly different in tone—darker, more intense. Each member’s excitement began to wane as they realized something was terribly wrong. The plot took an unexpected and unsettling turn. What started as a mere ghost story quickly became something far more sinister. The characters in the book seemed to be trapped in a never-ending cycle of dread, and the language grew colder, more cryptic. At one point, Clara’s fingers trembled as she flipped through the pages, feeling the chilling weight of the words. Clara, the newest member of the book club, had never been one to shy away from a mystery. She had always prided herself on her analytical mind. As the group discussed, she took a closer look at the pages, her eyes scanning the lines with growing concern. She froze when she noticed something she had missed earlier—a name, faintly etched into the margin of the last page. The name was familiar, but Clara couldn’t place it. She flipped through the book again, her fingers trembling as they grazed the missing pages at the beginning. Something about those blank spaces felt wrong. They weren’t just pages that had been torn or damaged; they had been deliberately erased, wiped clean of anything that might have been there. The unease in her chest grew stronger. Clara’s heart raced. The name written in the margin—the one she recognized but couldn’t fully recall—belonged to the bookshop’s previous owner, Mr. Horace Bellamy. He had mysteriously disappeared twenty years ago, and no one had ever uncovered what had truly happened to him. The town had moved on, but Clara felt a shiver run down her spine as the pieces began to fall into place. She quickly excused herself from the group and slipped away to the back of the shop. She grabbed the dusty, old records from the bookshop’s storage room, hoping to find some clue that could shed light on the connection between the name and the strange book. As she flipped through the records, she found a shocking revelation—Horace Bellamy’s name appeared multiple times in relation to this very book, but there were gaps. Pages from the shop’s archives were also mysteriously missing, just like the pages in the book. The discovery turned the evening on its head. The group began to realize that the book wasn’t just fiction—it was a record of something much darker. The missing pages, Clara concluded, were not just lost; they were erased on purpose. The mystery had become real. The members of the Bookclub had unknowingly become part of a much deeper, far-reaching secret. And as they looked at the eerie words of the novel, they realized they might never escape its grasp.
