☆⁠▽⁠☆ "What are you doing here?" he asks me, his eyes raking over my drenched body and widening. Instantly, he opens the door further, allowing me to slip inside and grab a towel from somewhere, handing it to me. My sobs may have taken a backseat for now but the urge to break down in someone's arms who cares about me hasn't receded yet. I came here to find my best friend and instead, I look into the eyes of her much older, much handsome brother and a tear slips down my eyes and in a second, so does my bravado. My knees buckle and the ground beneath me slips as I fall with a raged cry. "I didn't know where else to go." ☆⁠▽⁠☆ Anaya Rai, the wife to one of the wealthiest conglomerates in India is happy. Or as happy as she can pretend to be until one day everything topples over and she shows up at her best friend's house, or rather, her best friend's brother's house. Ayaansh Singhania, the to-be CEO of the largest industrial estate is determined, driven and well, much to his parents' dismay, also single, which puts him at a risk of not inheriting the company he has dreamt for for years. So, when an opportunity strikes, should he listen to his brain and risk marrying his rival's ex-wife for his inheritance or listen to his heart and help out the woman he's obsessed with for years? But, what's stopping him from doing both? Mistakes, drunken promises, revenge, dirty secrets yet just one way to end: a happy epilogue. ᴛʜɪs ʙᴏᴏᴋ ʙᴇʟᴏɴɢs ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ. ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴏʀ ᴘʟᴀɢɪᴀʀɪsᴇ ɪᴛ. any sort of media used in this book does not belong to me unless said so. credits to the rightful owners. ☆⁠▽⁠☆ 5k on 31st July 2024 (WHATTT OMGGGGG!!!!) 10k on 12th September 2024 25k on 29th September 2024 50k on 24th October 2024 100k on 17th November 2024 150k on 19th December 2024 200k on 2nd February 2025

Adhya Chauhan wasn't the type to give up. Especially not on her own marriage. When her family arranged her wedding to Reyan Malhotra, she knew exactly what she was walking into- A husband who was powerful, untouchable, and completely uninterested in love. But she wasn't going to settle for a cold, business-like marriage. No. She was going to make him love her. It wouldn't be easy. He was stubborn. Distant. Impossible. But she was persistent. Playful. Absolutely irresistible when she wanted to be. And with every challenge, every spark, and every stolen moment... She was going to break down his walls and claim his heart. Even if she had to seduce, tease, and torment him to do it.
