previously known as "AFSAANE" "Let me get this straight," Danish's voice is sharp, his disbelief barely masked. "You want me to pretend to be in love with you?" Kiara tilts her head, the ghost of a smirk playing on her lips. "No, Malhotra. I want you to pretend you never stopped." For as long as Kiara Oberoi could remember, life had been a race she was never allowed to lose. And standing in her way at every turn? Danish Malhotra. Her biggest rival. Her greatest weakness. The boy who knew exactly how to ruin her. They spent their years locked in battle-academic rankings, debate championships, internships, and scholarships-neither willing to give the other an inch. They fought in front of the whole world. They fought when no one was watching. And somewhere in between all those fights, between the sharp words and long stares- they fell. It started with a project that forced them together. Forced them to see past the rivalry, past the competition, past the carefully built walls. Forced them to face the fact that they understood each other in ways no one else ever had. They fought for years-until one night, she gave him everything. And the next day? She destroyed him. "I could never love someone who doesn't even know his own origins." And then, she left. No warnings. No explanations. Just silence. Now, she's back. Same fire. Same hunger. Same boy she left behind-only now, he's colder, crueler, untouchable. And this time, they aren't just academic rivals. They're business enemies. And she needs him to fake date her. She isn't leaving without him this time. She says it's to win a war. He knows it's to win him back. But some fires never die- And this time, they might burn for real.

Two lawyers. One courtroom. And a hatred sharp enough to draw blood. Saanvi Mehra has clawed her way to the top-brilliant, sharp-tongued, and unbreakable. She's earned her place in a world that was never built for her. And she's not about to lose it. Especially not to Veer Raizada. Veer is composed. Cruel. Untouchable. And for reasons Saanvi can't decipher, he loathes her with a quiet intensity that burns. Every case between them is war. Every glance, a challenge. Every word, laced with something too dangerous to name. He wants to see her fall. She refuses to give him the satisfaction. But in a world where truth is twisted and history is buried- what happens when hate stops being safe? A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance brimming with sharp banter, long-buried secrets, and the kind of tension that leaves scars.

"You stole my heart once, Sara. Now, I'll show you what it feels like to lose everything." Five years ago, Rudra Singhania's life shattered with a betrayal he never saw coming. Their love had been raw and untamed, nurtured through stolen glances in college corridors and promises whispered under moonlit skies. But when Sara tore through his trust, she left him broken, angry, and vowing to never forgive. Now, he's back-not as the boy who loved her but as a man determined to ruin her. Sara doesn't know that their reunion isn't fate-it's his carefully laid trap. He's orchestrated every detail, every move, to make her pay for the scars she left behind. But when she walks into his life again-changed, guarded, no longer the carefree girl he once knew-Rudra feels the weight of his own plan. The fire between them hasn't dimmed, and as much as he hates her, he can't deny the pull she still has over him. Can vengeance heal a broken heart? Or will the ghosts of their love force Rudra to confront the truth: that some battles are only lost when you win?

"You *thrust* are* thrust* my *thrust* woman," he growled, his voice dripping with possessiveness as he thrust deeper, each movement making me cry out in both pain and desire. I was beyond exhausted, my body aching from hours of relentless passion. "Adrian, please... stop," I begged, my voice barely audible, my eyes squeezed shut. The exhaustion was overwhelming; I could barely feel my legs anymore, my body on the brink of collapse. But his response was cold, unwavering. "Sleep, ocean. I won't stop tonight." And with that, everything went black. ............................................ He pinned me to the wall, his grip unforgiving, making me gasp in pain. His eyes were bloodshot with rage, and for a moment, I wasn't scared of him-just terrified of what he might do to Luciano. "If you ever mention his name in front of me again, I swear, wildcat, I'll tear him apart with my bare hands," he snarled, his voice sending a chill down my spine. His words hung in the air, the threat lingering like a dark storm. "You are mine. Your body. Your soul. Your heart, too," he growled, his hands moving to unhook the only thing that separated us-my bra. "No protests today," he warned, his voice thick with determination. "I'll take you by hook or by crook." And before I could react, he tossed me onto the bed. ...............
