"It's not a story of a hero fighting a dragon to save the world. It's the story of a dragon who will burn the world to the ground if anyone dares to touch his princess." I don't own Arnav and Khushi, and this story is purely fictional. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. This story is a submission to the 13th Anniversary Arshi Fiesta 2024, according to the moodboard Mafia AU x Age gap x Arshi on Tumblr. This story is inspired partly by one of my fav couples Oliver Queen and Felicity Smoak aka Olicity from the CW show 'Arrow' which was made according to a DC comic character 'Green Arrow' and partly by darkverse. To enjoy this story you don't have to know any of these. It can be enjoyed as a stand-alone.

He believed power made him untouchable. She believed respect wasn't optional. What happens when fire meets a storm? When Khushi Kumari Gupta crashes into the world of ruthless tycoon Arnav Singh Raizada at a high-society gala, sparks fly - but not the romantic kind. He's cold, calculated, and used to being obeyed. She's bold, grounded, and doesn't back down, especially not to arrogant millionaires with God complexes. But fate has other plans. Thrown into a whirlwind of business deals, family secrets, and simmering tension, Khushi and Arnav find themselves on a path neither can walk away from - a collision course that began lifetimes ago. Enemies by circumstance. Equals by fire. Lovers... by destiny? In this reimagining of the world of Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon, Khushi never stays silent - and Arnav may finally have met someone who can break his walls without even trying.

She picked up the vase, examining it closely. I stood up dropping the gun in my hand on the bed to go near her. 'I need to know what she looks like from up close. Someone with such a voice have to be perfect in every other way as well'. "Sorry Bhagwan ji (God), I will pay them as soon as possible but right now I have to do this," she mumbled 'No baby you'll pay right now. ' A voice came from inside my dark soul, "I can... do this... phew," As she raised her arm with vase on it, to break the glass of the window. I clamped down on her hand, her body trembling in terror. Her rapid breaths were a stark contrast to the calm that washed over me. She was a frightened little rabbit caught in the glare of headlights, her every instinct screaming for escape. She was scared just like a little rabbit caught in a trap wondering about whether she is gonna live or not. She is mine now, a fragile creature trapped in my world. I would decide her fate. This little rabbit is mine now, now that it is caught in my trap, it is mine to possess, mine to ruin, mine to break or protect. MINE forever. __________________ What will happen when ruthless, calculative and dangerous Mrityunjaya Singh Rathore fall in love with a sweet, innocent and full of life Ishika, stay tuned to find out.

They were roommates. They were friends. Often that is enough. But sometimes one needs more. A lot more. ***Credit to BitterSweet for the characters and the respective owner for the picture***

Ana Wintera is only seventeen years old when Azriel Ilyas Romanov, the Pakhan of the Bratva, the lord of Romanov Crime Dynasty, the Shadow King first lays eyes on her. And from that moment she becomes his. "Who are you?" she sniffs "Oh my malen'koye serdtse," he whispers, lips running along her wet cheeks, kissing away her tears. "I'm your everything."

When We're Not Boys Anymore (Book Two of Catch Me If You Can, Mr. President! series) They survived high school chaos, confessions, camp disasters, and falling in love under fireworks. But real life isn't just rooftop kisses and late-night calls. Now at rival universities in Bangkok, Sky Wongravee and Nani Hirunkit are learning that love after high school isn't easy. New friends. New pressures. New crowds. And a lot of unexpected competition for their hearts. Sky's balancing brutal med school coursework and being the university's accidental dream guy. Nani's a rising basketball star with a growing fan club he never asked for. Distance makes everything harder-and jealousy doesn't play fair. Old habits die hard. New insecurities creep in. And somewhere between practice schedules and cramming for finals, they have to figure out: How do you hold on to someone when the whole world is trying to pull you apart? They're not just boys anymore. But maybe... they're still enough for each other.

They were never meant to be in love-just married. Sky is a calculated businessman, known for his silence and sharp edges. When a political alliance binds him to Nani-the bright, soft-spoken kindergarten teacher and youngest son of a powerful Thai-Chinese tycoon-it's a move to protect reputations, not hearts. But behind Nani's easy smile is a secret his family keeps buried: a rare heart condition slowly threatening his life. And behind Sky's emotionless exterior is a man who begins to care more than he should. In a house built on obligation and silence, two strangers navigate power, illness, and the quiet ache of growing too close. Some marriages start with love. Theirs starts with a contract. What grows in the silence might be something neither of them are ready for.
