Eklavya Singh Ranawat was born to rule - a man of unmatched intellect, a thriving business empire, and an aura that silenced rooms. As a king, he commanded fear. As a protector, he was tenacious, strategic, ruthless. He possessed every quality a crown could demand.When his betrothed fiancée, Princess Vanya, chose his cousin Amogh over him, not because of love but because of appearances, Eklavya didn't shatter - he turned silent. Amogh, a lawyer-businessman, was never Eklavya's rival. Yet the engagement betrayal planted seeds of politics and ambition that reached deep into the royal bloodline.Amogh was set to take revenge Vanya, the spoilt princess with a golden spoon and greed for power, wasn't just a woman scorned - she was a woman hungry to reign the corporate world with her princess tag intact. For her, Eklavya was an imperfect king. A scarred ruler she never believed could stand beside her in photos, let alone power. But Eklavya never chased validation. He had a mysterious past, a pain no one dared ask about - one buried beneath years of rejection, hushed secrets, and cruel smiles. And then came Gargi Shukla - a middle-class Brahmin girl with innocent, struggling daily wages. A storm from the past. Her arrival awakens what the world believed was long dead in Eklavya - emotion.But Gargi isn't here to heal him.She's here with answers he's not ready for, and questions that will shake the throne itself.

"A wife should wait for her husband... But how long before waiting turns into loneliness?" Navya's marriage was meant to be a dream. A charming husband, a new life, a perfect future. But dreams shatter when built on lies. Abhay, the man she married, had never truly been hers. He was a ghost in their marriage, absent and distant, leaving her trapped in a life where she was nothing more than a title-a wife in name only. She tried. She waited. She hoped. And then... she found solace in the one man she shouldn't. Mrityunjay. Her husband's elder brother. He was cold, responsible, untouchable. A man who built walls around himself, who lived by duty and never let emotions dictate his actions. But behind the control was a man who saw her, who listened, who cared. She wasn't supposed to fall for him. He wasn't supposed to break for her. But some loves are inevitable. Some desires refuse to be buried. And some sins are impossible to resist. A tale of a marriage that was never meant to be... and a love that was never meant to happen. © 2025 iamredflagbutcute.

Kiara was never the kind of girl who fell for heroes. While others swooned over noble gestures and soft-spoken love interests, she craved something darker - obsession that burned, love that claimed, men who didn't ask for hearts but took them. Her favorite was Reyansh: the ruthless, broken anti-hero of a tragic romance novel who died before he could win the woman he was obsessed with. But when Kiara wakes up in the body of Arina - the wrong woman Reyansh mistakenly married - she finds herself inside the very story she once devoured. Only now, she's not reading it. She's living it. And this time, she won't watch the villain lose. Because Kiara doesn't want to fix the story. She wants to break it. Twist it. Own it. And if she plays her part right... Reyansh won't just love her. He'll never survive without her. --- Reyansh's eyes glinted with a dangerous fire. "It doesn't matter who you are... or what you think. You're mine. You can't leave me, and no one-not even you-can ever take yourself away from me." Arina's chest tightened, a shiver running through her. "You can't... cage me, Reyansh." A cold softness edged his voice, low and unrelenting. "Then let me show you. One chance. I only love you... but if I'm right, I'll never let you go. Ever." Her voice trembled. "I... I don't have a choice, do I?" He didn't answer. He pulled her close, his arms unyielding. She rested against him, a fleeting, secret smile on her lips-one he could never see. And in the silence, Reyansh's obsession darkened, twisting quietly into something inescapable: once he had her, no one-not even life itself-would ever take her away.
