[𝚁𝚎𝚙𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚎𝚍 𝙱𝚛𝚒𝚍𝚎] A wedding that was never meant to be. A love that was never chosen. A fate that neither of them can escape. Shravasti Chandekar had always been second-second to be noticed, second to be loved, second to be chosen. But when her sister vanishes on the day of her wedding, Shravasti is forced to take her place as the bride of Advait Subhedar-a man who was never meant to be hers. Cold, ruthless, and unwilling, Advait sees her as nothing more than a last-minute replacement, an insult to the vows he was forced to take. Hatred simmers in his every glance, resentment in every word. He wants nothing to do with her. But fate has bound them in a marriage neither of them wanted. In a world of obligations, family legacies, and unspoken desires, can love ever bloom where it was never planted? Or will their story remain one of duty, resentment, and a love... unchosen? He tells her this marriage means nothing. Then why does his grip tighten when another man looks at her? Why does he whisper, "You're mine, whether I wanted you or not... and I don't share." ---

[𝙵𝚘𝚛𝚋𝚒𝚍𝚍𝚎𝚗 𝚁𝚘𝚖𝚊𝚗𝚌𝚎] "She's playing with fire. He's ready to let her burn." Kara Bianchi never meant to attract his attention. She never meant to cross a man like Alessio Rossi-her professor, her downfall, her inevitable ruin. He's cold, ruthless, and untouchable. A man who doesn't tolerate disobedience. A man people fear for good reason. But Kara? She doesn't flinch under his gaze. She doesn't bow like she should. And she doesn't realize she's already trapped in a game she was never meant to play. Alessio should ignore her. She doesn't belong in his world, and he doesn't entertain defiance. But Kara is a challenge-a temptation wrapped in fire and recklessness. She pushes when she should run. She defies when she should submit. And the more she tests him, the more he watches her. Waiting for her to understand one simple truth- He doesn't lose. He doesn't break. And if she won't obey... He'll make her. ---
