He chose her from the shadows. Now, she must survive the spotlight. Aarohi Mehra was raised to stay quiet, to obey, to never step into the line of fire that came with power and legacy. She was just another name in a forgotten proposal-until Rishab Rathore, heir to the Rathore empire, handpicked her as his bride. His decision wasn't about love-it was about control, revenge, and the perfect pawn in a decades-old family feud. Thrust into a gilded cage where every move is watched and every silence is expected, Aarohi must learn to survive a world built on manipulation and secrets. But as the walls close in and the man she married reveals both cruelty and vulnerability, Aarohi begins to question everything-including herself. In a marriage where love is a lie and rebellion could cost her everything, Aarohi must decide: stay silent and fade away, or risk it all to reclaim her voice. A dark arranged marriage romance where power meets defiance, and survival demands more than obedience-it demands fire.

In a world where power is everything, the Shekhawat men rule from the shadows-ruthless, untouchable, and hidden behind the façade of billion-dollar empires. Their secrets are buried deep, their sins masked behind tailored suits and cold stares. No one dares to cross them. Until they do. Yashika, Meher, Trisha, and Tanishka-four women bound to the Shekhawat brothers by fate, deception, and secrets too dangerous to unveil. Each step they take, each vow they make, pulls them deeper into a world where love is a weapon and loyalty is a curse. Yashika fights against a marriage that was never meant to be hers. Meher walks a thin line between silence and rebellion. Trisha plays a game even she isn't sure she can win. Tanishka, the wildcard, is the one threat they never saw coming. But in a world where betrayal is inevitable and love is a dangerous illusion-who will survive, and who will burn?

~ A story as a Poetry itself ~ MURAAD SIDDIQUI "He never touched the flame. He simply waited for it to burn its way to him." Born into power, raised in shadows, Muraad Siddiqui was promised a bride before he could even tie his shoelaces - a girl he'd never met, but whose name sounded like poetry: Siya. While the world handed him legacy, influence, and control, he built a life around the only thing he never chose but always wanted. By the time she stepped into his haveli, still a child in uniform, he had already crafted a world where she was the centre. But love like his is not tender. It's sharp. Unvoiced. Unholy. Because how do you love someone who sees you as a stranger, when you've lived every breath for them? He stays close-but silent. Present-but untouchable. Not because he can't confess. But because what he feels could undo her entire world. SIYA RAGHUVANSHI "She was signed away with a pen. And now she lives in a palace she never asked for, but still always dreamed of-with a man whose eyes know too much." All Siya wanted was to study literature, hide behind her books, and lose herself in fictional darkness. But instead, she was unknowingly married off at fifteen - not out of love, but a centuries-old debt of honour. Now, she lives in Siya Mahel, a haunting haveli, filled with whispers, strange rituals, and one devastatingly silent man who keeps rubbing her feet every night as she falls asleep. She doesn't know what binds them. She doesn't understand why he flinches every time she asks him questions. Or why his gaze is both a prayer and a punishment. All she knows is that her life isn't hers anymore... And the one man who seems to care, is the one she fears the most. ~ One haveli. Two families tied by silence. Seven sacred stages of love. And a birth from shadows. Love is a blessing. But what if it's also a sentence you can't escape. This isn't a story. It's a rebellion sealed in sindoor and blood. ~~

Rule No. 1: Never crush on your professor. Rule No. 2: Especially not the broody, no-nonsense kind who looks like he stepped straight out of a drama series. Rule No. 3: If you break rules 1 and 2... definitely don't end up in his kitchen at 5 AM making him breakfast. ...Oops. Thanvika Ranjithswamy swears she's just here for extra tutoring and nothing else. So what if she can't stop staring at his annoyingly perfect shirt sleeves? Or the way he says her name like it's the most natural thing in the world? It means nothing. (Probably.) Santhosh Ilamaaran knows better than to get involved. He's disciplined. Controlled. Focused. Until one stubborn student barges into his quiet life - with homemade food, uninvited opinions, and a smile that's slowly undoing all his carefully built walls. Now the table they share feels less like a place for lessons... and more like a place where lines get crossed, hearts get tangled, and rules get rewritten. A slow-burn, heart-squeezing, rule-breaking romance you won't want to leave.

Now, he's stuck with a fragile-looking wife who doesn't belong in his world. He wants distance. She wants freedom. He is cold as ice. She is fire wrapped in silk.

Update schedule - In every 3rd day of the last update. Dark Indian fantasy This story is based on the 1950s when society was male dominated, women were not allowed to open their mouth or share their views. At that time, illegal marriages , domestic violence, and everything were normal. Men were even allowed to marry multiple times. At that time, girls were not allowed to study . Thakur Vijayendra Singh - head of 55 villages in Rajasthan, 30 yrs old, hotty , the most handsome guy of the whole village, and most wanted bachelor. He is a man who commanded attention without a word. Standing tall at 6'2ft, his broad shoulders and strong frame carried the weight of generations. His presence alone was enough to silence a room, his dark, kohl-rimmed eyes holding an intensity that could pierce through the bravest of men. A faint tilak marked his forehead, a reminder of the lineage he carried with unshaken authority. Dressed in an off-white kurta, a finely embroidered shawl draped over one shoulder, and leather riding boots, he looked every bit the powerful ruler he was. His black horse, Raunak, galloped through the golden sands, dust swirling behind him as he rode through his lands like an emperor surveying his kingdom. Aaradhya Rathore - The Untamed Flame Aaradhya was like a delicate flame-small, bright but capable of burning everything in her path. At 18 years , 5'3ft, her petite frame held a spirit far larger than the world allowed her. Long, waist-length black hair swayed behind her like a silk curtain, strands escaping to frame her delicate face. Her hazel eyes, lined with dark kohl, held a quiet defiance, a fire that refused to be tamed despite the world's expectations. There was an innocence to her beauty, but also stubbornness, an untamed spirit hidden beneath layers of silk and gold. #1 sadness on 22nd March 2025
