MoonlitChapters1
Aarini Sharma grew up in a one-room corner of a house that never felt like hers.
She was the eldest daughter-the one expected to adjust, to sacrifice, to stay small while her brother was allowed to dream bigger. Her father loved everyone except himself, her mother swallowed her pain like medicine, and Aarini learned early that love doesn't always protect you.
After the death of the only man who loved her unconditionally-her grandfather-something inside her broke. Shadows whispered instructions, threats, and fears. No one believed in therapy, but everyone believed in black magic. The voices stayed.
So did her dreams.
Mumbai was her escape. Writing was her oxygen.
Three years later, after rejection, heartbreak, and whispers of "ladkiyan aise nahi karti," Aarini publishes her second novel. It goes viral. At twenty-three, she becomes India's bestselling romance author of 2026, buys a sea-facing home, brings her family to Mumbai, and learns to save herself because nobody else ever did.
This is the story of the girl who was never anybody's first priority-
until she became her own.
