ShivAna - Arranged By Destiny Tagline: She was invisible. He was oblivious. Destiny was neither. *********************************************** Prologue: She was nineteen when she first fell for him. College. Monsoon. The boy who never looked her way. Shivansh Randhawa-oblivious, charming, heartbreaker-in-training. Prarthana Malhotra watched from the back of the classroom, collected his smiles like stolen coins, and loved him in complete, painful silence. He graduated. Never knew she existed. She moved on. Or pretended to. Eight years later, her parents announce a proposal. "Good family. Successful boy. You'll like him." She walked into the meeting. He was sitting there. Same face. Same intensity. Same man who'd haunted her twenties. He looked at her. Polite. Distant. Like she was a stranger. Of course. He didn't remember. Why would he? She decided then-this marriage would be a transaction. Civil. Controlled. She'd protect her heart this time. But Shivansh Randhawa had other plans. He didn't remember her. But somehow, impossibly, he was seeing her now. Looking at her the way she'd dreamed of at nineteen. And the girl who once loved him in secret had no idea how to handle the man who was suddenly, terrifyingly, looking back. *********************************************** This is not a love story. Not yet. This is the story of a second chance he doesn't know he's getting. And a secret she's not sure she can keep. *********************************************** Some meetings are accidents. Some are fate. And some-are the universe laughing at you. Because sometimes, destiny doesn't ask for permission. It just arranges. So... "Arranged By Destiny, Complicated By The Past."

"Aarya....ye aap kya kar rahe hai?" She moans with shaky breath. "Shh...kuch kahiye mat, bas mehsoos kariye inhe," and he admired the view in front of him. ⚔️⚜️⚔️ Bound by promises she never made, the elder princess of Anantashesh Rajya has spent her entire life carrying the weight of her kingdom upon her shoulders. But when betrayal ignites a dangerous fire within her heart and a chance of war rise, Vishakha is making a choice that could either protect her people... or become the reason for their destruction. Meanwhile, far away from the temples of Kaashi, a ruthless Crown Prince walks among commoners beneath a false identity, finding the woman no one have ever saw and testing the woman destined to stand beside his throne. Yet what he sees leaves him unimpressed. Reckless. Egoistic. Unfit for a crown. But kingdoms are not built upon first impressions. And some wars begin long before swords are drawn. As fate slowly entangles two powerful souls bound by secrets, revenge, pride, and duty, one question remains... What will happen when a fearless promised princess will get herself entangled with a ruthless Crown Prince?

#Book1 of The Heart Series (English and Tanglish) VIHAAN MALHOTRA × INDHU RAJAN "That's what you do, isn't it?" His voice was sharp, edged with something dangerously close to anger. I frowned. What the hell is he talking about? "What-" I started, but he cut me off. "Always craving attention. From everyone... from every man-"The words barely left his mouth before my hand struck his cheek. A sharp slap, loud in the quiet room. Wow. Four years. Four whole years since I last saw him, and the first thing I do? Slap my first love. Great. Just great. ──── ୨୧ ──── Indhu walked away from love, heartbreak, and the boy who once shielded her in the rain, Vihaan. He was her first love, the one she believed never saw her the same way. What she thought was an unrequited crush turned into a painful memory, marked by misunderstandings and unresolved emotions. They met again through the wedding of Indhu's best friend, Aadya and Vihaan's older brother Arnav, an event that should have been a happy beginning but instead left her heartbroken. Convinced she had moved on, she built a life on her own terms-until Vihaan reappeared. Vihaan, cold and unreadable, never let anyone get close-especially not Indhu. He buried his feelings, mistaking distance for control. But when the truth behind their past finally comes to light, he refuses to let her slip away again. Now bound to the man she tried to forget, Indhu finds herself trapped between past wounds and present desires. And as possessive tension, lingering resentment, and years of unspoken longing collide, she fights to guard her heart while Vihaan struggles to claim what was always his. But in a game of denial and temptation, who will surrender first? ──── ୨୧ ──── (This is my first book, so there may be a few mistakes or small inconsistencies, but it won't affect the reading. I'll be fixing everything once the book is completed❤️😭)

Book 2 in Crimson Crown series Pratha Touch. Claim. Defy. He wasn't born to follow rules. He was the kind of man who made them - and then broke them, just to see who'd dare stop him. In a world built on rituals and fear, Shamsher Dev Thakur roared like a lion. Defeating, yet never bowed. He wasn't from her village. He wasn't part of their traditions. But he was the only man who looked her in the eye... and didn't flinch. She was barely a whisper - a young girl, full of laughter one moment and wrapped in white the next. A bride one day. A widow the next. Left to rot in a corner, forgotten by fate, punished by a world that decided she had lived too much already. But he saw her. She was just... sitting. Still. Staring into nothing. It broke the heart of the man like him. But he made the most dangerous decision of his life: To go against a village that wasn't his. To claim a girl the world had already declared untouchable. To marry her. Not out of love. Not yet. But out of pure, ruthless defiance. This is not a love story. This is the beginning of a war. One man. One girl. And an entire society trying to tear them apart.

She walked away from love... the day it betrayed her. He stayed away from love... until the day it became his weakness. Two strangers. One lie. But sometimes... the most unexpected stories become the ones worth holding on to. Shivani Deshmukh She ran from her wedding and built a new life far from her painful past She wasn't looking for love. She was just trying to escape her past and protect the only family she had left her younger sister. Raghav Bhardwaj Doesn't believe in love or happy endings. But when his sick grandmother wishes to see him married, he agrees just to make her smile. Now, they're being forced into an arranged marriage neither of them wants this Rishta But sometimes, the most unexpected connections lead to something real.

Some stories are written in blood. Some sins are sacred. Aradhya Rathore - orphaned by fate. Raised by her mother's family, yet never truly accepted. She lives in a house full of people... but none she can call her own. Surrounded by tradition, drowned in silence, she learned early that love was a word people used but never meant. Shravansh Thakur - cold, calculating, and dangerously calm. A devout Bhole Nath follower raised with one purpose: to destroy the family that took away the only person he ever loved. He doesn't believe in hearts, only in revenge... until Aradhya is forced into his world. A marriage wrapped in lies. Two souls bound by a past soaked in blood. And a truth waiting to set fire to everything they touch. ______ "I hate you... I hate your presence near me," she whispered, voice trembling, eyes burning with defiance. He stepped in, close enough to taste her breath. "And I hate myself... for loving the way your lips move when you lie to me." ______ Coming soon. A story where love is a weapon, and desire is the sweetest sin. Aradhya: His Sacred Sin - where devotion meets destruction.

★Blushing Stars★ Chhavi Mishra, nineteen, was soft-spoken, gentle, and raised far away from the glittering world of the royals. All she carried was innocence and a heart that dreamed quietly. Yuvaan Singhania, twenty-seven, was the heir to one of the most powerful families-proud, distant, and born to command. His silence was sharp, his presence intimidating, and his life had no room for love. When destiny tied them in an arranged marriage, it wasn't love at first sight, but a clash of worlds-her warmth against his coldness, her blush against his storms. But sometimes, love blooms in the most unexpected places... under the weight of family legacies and the glow of blushing stars.
