Story Notes

A year has passed since the Mirror Queen claimed her throne.

No longer draped in silks and swords,Padmavatinow walks Mandawa’s corridors in tailored power suits, sunglasses, and stilettos. But behind the sleek façade of the modern-day queen lies a womanhaunted. Haunted not by her enemies — but by the man sheloved and destroyed.

Every night, she curses her own heart.

Every mirror in the palace has been covered…

Except one.

The original —cracked, cursed, and quietly waking.

Meanwhile, across the world in Germany,Aarav Rajputhas become a ghost.

He gave up the empire. Gave up revenge. Gave upher.

The world thinks he’s dead.

Only one thing still connects him to life — thefamily of Vikram, his best friend who died in a mafia war. Aarav adopted them in silence, offering protection, love, and stability… while hiding who he truly is.

To them, he’s justArmaan— a mysterious but kind guardian living in the shadows.

But when the mirror begins to bleed visions again — dreams of Mandawa, of the past, ofPadmavati crying alone in the dark— the strings of fate begin to pull once more.

The curse isn’t over.

The mirror is not done.

And love... refuses to die quietly.

Author’s Note

from Love Writes

Thank you so much for reading Book 2 of the Cursed Mirror Series.This story is a journey through pain, love, revenge, healing, and the blurred line between fantasy and reality.

In this book, you’ll find:

A deep dive into Padma and Aarav’s emotional aftermathafter the events of Book 1

Themes oftrauma, forgiveness, obsession, reincarnation, and redemption

Three alternate endingsexploring what love can become—hope, betrayal, or complete downfall

A haunting tale of how thepast always finds its way back

And ultimately, the difficult choices lovers make when fate curses their bond

This book is intense, passionate, sometimes dark—but it’s also a reflection of how complex humans can be when love meets pain.

Please remember: this is fiction—written from a place of imagination, not to promote or glorify toxic relationships. I ask you to read with an open heart and kindness.

✧ No hate comments, please. If the story resonated with you or even disturbed you in ways that made you think, then it did its job.

✧ If you liked this book, support it by sharing, leaving a kind comment, or simply reading on.

Stay cursed, stay in love, stay reading.
