Through chaos, heartbreak, and unexpected joys, Felicity and Caden discover that love isn't about perfection-it's about persistence, forgiveness, and choosing each other again and again.

It is a novel that explores modern marriage, blended families, and courage while asking: when everything shatters, can love be rebuilt stronger than before?

Pihu Dubey grew up in the quiet shadows of her father's world - a world where loyalty, old friendships, and family ties mattered more than dreams. The jewel in this world was Akash Randhawa, the son of her father's best friend - dazzlingly handsome, brilliantly successful, and heir to a multi-billion-dollar empire. For as long as she could remember, Akash had been the silent, distant star she had built her world around. But Akash had dreams sculpted by power and prestige. In his polished life of glittering parties and impossible standards, there was no room for the simple, steadfast girl who loved him from afar. To him, Pihu was nothing more than the "little sister" from family gatherings - kind, invisible, and entirely unlike the women he pursued. As Pihu blossoms into a woman, her heart remains shackled to a hope that Akash might one day see her - really see her. She battles silent heartbreaks, moments of cruel indifference, and the slow ache of watching him love others while never even glancing her way. "The Heart That Waited Alone" is a tender, aching journey through unspoken love, the agony of waiting, and the silent courage it takes to love someone who may never love you back. Will Pihu's silent devotion ever find its echo - or will her heart remain a lone flame in a world too bright to notice her gentle light? **************** Rankings: #1 Adultromance (06/07/2025) #4 Indianstories (06/07/2025) #6 unrequitedlove (06/07/2025) #11 onesidedlove (06/07/2025) #21 billionaire (06/07/2025) #24 heartbreak (06/07/2025)

Him and her. Reunited. That was the moment I walked away. But Vidyut? He's not letting me go. Not without a fight. And now, the man who broke me is ready to grovel-to ruin his pride, his reputation, even himself-just to win me back. But some betrayals cut too deep. And I don't know if love is enough to fix this.
