Avyan Parker had nothing to lose when he met Naina Rao. He was ruling the Hollywood industry, had millions of fans across the globe, friends who loved him and family that stood by his side no matter what. His life was perfect, or so it seemed. Naina Rao had everything to lose when she met Avyan Parker. Her fame, her popularity and certainly her career. Because for a Bollywood actress who was just starting to gain her fan following, getting involved with a global star was bound to bring more cons than pros. Yet she took the risk. Why? Because Avyan Parker was simply mesmerizing, a blue eyed charmer who knew how to make hearts flutter. Little did she know, falling in love is simple, staying in love is just as hard. And that too with a man she hardly knows anything about, who carried way too many secrets she would like to be part of and being a part of his stardom, something was bound to happen. She wished it wouldn't be a heartbreak. Only if she knew, that's what Avyan Parker was famous for.

The story is set in early 1990s in a rural area. A bond is formed due to the promise of honour and respect. A marriage out of necessity and maybe a little bit of obsession. A girl filled with the hope of love and a guy completely enamored by her. How will their life unfold? ☆Warning :This story contains mature themes. It is completely fictional and based upon my imagination. It is inspired by the serial named "Begusarai". But only inspired, the story is completely mine. As I said before this is based in a rural area so am just giving you guys a heads up if anybody feels offended. Readers discretion is advised.

His father, a powerful union cabinet minister, has only one goal- placing Shivaay on the Chief Minister's throne. But power demands sacrifice, and alliances are sealed in blood... and marriage. Anamika Singhania grew up loving one man... Rudra, Shivaay's younger brother, the one who made her laugh, the one she dreamed of. But Rudra never saw her the way she burned for him. Now, fate has bound her to Shivaay, the man she fears... and the one who ignites something darker inside her. "I don't need your love, Anamika," Shivaay's voice is dark, sinful. "I need your obedience." "And if I refuse?" she whispers, anger laced with fear. "There are no refusals in politics. Only power." Rudra never wanted her... until she was no longer his to lose. "Anamika, you don't seem to understand my-" Rudra murmurs, as he reaches out, his hand hovering for a moment like he might touch her shoulder, might anchor her to something "I may not understand everything, Rudra... but I do understand one damn thing... People who once called someone their own don't get to exploit them like they never meant a thing. Like they were just a stepping stone." She cut him off before he could complete his sentence. Trapped between the man she always loved and the one who now owns her fate, Anamika must decide: fight for love, surrender to power, or risk being destroyed by both. Three hearts. Two brothers.
