"He doesn't say 'I love you.' But he changed in all the ways that yelled it." •••••••••••••• Vaani Joshi never expected love from her arranged marriage - just respect, maybe some space, and silence she could live with. Dhruv Deshmukh was exactly that: powerful, unreadable, and cold. He didn't ask her what she liked. He didn't ask how her day was. And she never asked for anything. But then he started noticing. Not her words - her silences. Not what she wanted - what she gave up. The man who never looked twice is now the one who watches her the closest. And the girl who never expected anything... is the reason he's learning how to give everything. •••••••••••••••• "Why do you always notice the things I don't say?" He looked at her for a long second. "Because you never ask. And I've never wanted to give anyone more." •••••••••••••••• Tropes: Slow-burn romance | Arranged marriage | Contemporary drama | Indian diaspora | Urban luxury + emotional intimacy | Cold ML x Soft FL | Changing for her 🏅#1 in India 🏅#1 in Indian 🏅#1 in desi 🏅#1 in romance

She was a girl with deadlines. He was superstar with headlines. She was supposed to stay invisible. He was born to be seen. They couldn't be more different. Destiny nevers asks for permission before it entangles two lifes. When their lives collide, an "arrangement" is struck. Not love. Not friendship. Something else entirely. Something profitable. Something neither of them can walk away from without losing more than they bargained for. The deal was simple: play along. But nothing is ever simple when egos, secrets, and emotions are at stake. Unwanted? Absolutely. Necessary? More than ever. And somewhere in between... the lines begin to blur. - Ahaan Panday fanfiction (book 1) - Read the sequel Unscripted (book 2) on my profile - Humble request to readers to vote on every chapters you read.

❝ If you want me to stop, ❞ he murmured, lips brushing her ear, ❝ you'll have to say something other than 'God, yes.' ❞ Sana Raichand wasn't supposed to end up engaged to the one guy she swore she'd never talk to again - Ahaan freaking Panday. He's arrogant, gorgeous, and knows exactly how to get under her skin... and maybe under her clothes, too. What starts as a forced marriage quickly turns into a battlefield of stolen glances, sharp words, and late nights where hate begins to blur into something much more dangerous. "Whatever happens, don't fall in love with me." She said it like a warning. He heard it like a challenge.

"No pressure for anything romantic. No intimacy. We do the married couple thing for the families, but behind closed doors, you live your life, and I live mine." Or at least that's what they had planned. Ahaan Panday and Maya Malhotra have always known each other from family gatherings, fleeting glances at events, and passing hellos at each other's homes. But they've never really interacted. That is, until their families decide to bind them in a union that's anything but ordinary. At first, they strike a deal: no romantic pressure, no intimacy, and no expectations. Sounds simple, right? But when the lines between pretending and feeling begin to blur, will the facade hold? With the eyes of the world on them, can Ahaan and Maya navigate the complexities of their new bond, one that may end up being more than just for show?

He was a man of power, feared and worshipped in the same breath, ruling over the world of shadows where morality was a myth and sin was the only language spoken. Love? That was for the weak. He didn't do love. He didn't believe in innocence. Until her. She was untouched by the darkness he thrived in-a vision of purity, a forbidden fruit he had no right to crave. But the devil had never been one to deny himself temptation. And she... she was his greatest one. She should have run. He told her to. Instead, she stayed, unaware that the moment she stepped into his world, she became his. His to ruin. His to cherish. His purest sin. And now, even if heaven came calling-he'd rather burn than let her go.

The Dixits and Malhotras-two billionaire families bound by decades of friendship-had always dreamed of uniting their legacies through marriage. Their children grew up together, treating each other like family. Among them, Sonakshi Dixit had always been particularly close to everyone in the Malhotra family-except for one person: Devansh Malhotra, the reserved and aloof eldest son. Unlike his charming and outgoing younger brother, Rohan, whom she was set to marry, Devansh kept his distance, rarely engaging in conversations unless necessary. Sonakshi had accepted this marriage for the sake of her family, her parents, and her beloved chachu-chachi, who had always treated her as their own daughter. But deep down, her heart had never belonged to Rohan-it had always been drawn to Devansh, the man who never spared her more than a few words but whose silent presence spoke volumes to her. The only person who knew this secret was her best friend, Rhea Malhotra-Devansh and Rohan's younger sister. With the wedding already in motion, the absence of the groom would be a disaster for both families' reputations. But before anyone could panic, Devansh did what everyone silently expected him to do-he stepped forward. Without hesitation, without emotion, he took his younger brother's place. Not out of love, but out of duty. He would marry Sonakshi, not because he loved her-but because it was the only way to protect the honor of both families. As Sonakshi found herself standing before the man she had secretly loved, dressed as his bride, she realized that this was not just a marriage of convenience. It was fate giving them a chance-whether Devansh would ever return her feelings, however, was a question that only time could answer.
