A Dark Romance Story where love isn't soft... it's consuming. ✦ ───────── ✦ ❀ ✦───────── ✦ She looked into his eyes, her heart racing, her voice trembling yet filled with an unspoken longing. "Make me yours, Professor," she whispered, like a confession she could no longer hold back. He didn't look away. His gaze stayed fixed on hers-cold, distant, and guarded. A man who had already loved once... and lost. After a heavy silence, he finally spoke, his voice low and firm, "I can't... not in this lifetime." ✦ ─────── ✦ ❀ ✦ ────── ✦

She was never meant to be the bride. Raised in a family that never truly accepted her as their own, she spent her life trying to earn the love she was never freely given. On the day of her sister's wedding, everything changes when the bride disappears just hours before the ceremony. To save the family's reputation, they force her to take her sister's place beneath the bridal veil. With no choice left, she marries a man she has never met. Before she can even understand the life she has been pushed into, her husband leaves on their wedding night without a single explanation, abandoning her in a house full of strangers. For six months, she lives as a wife who has been left behind facing whispers, judgment, and loneliness while carrying the burden of a marriage that was never hers to begin with. When he finally returns, he expects nothing more than a marriage that exists only on paper. Instead, he finds her she is no longer the frightened girl he left behind. She has learned to live without him, to hide her pain behind quiet smiles, and to find strength in the life she never chose. As they are forced to live under the same roof, misunderstandings slowly turn into understanding, cold silences give way to unspoken feelings, and two strangers begin to see each other in a new light. But the truth behind that wedding day is still waiting to be uncovered. When long-hidden secrets finally come to the surface, they must decide whether to let the past tear them apart... or fight for the future they never thought they would have together.

╰----➜ Ashvi's life changed forever when she lost her mother at the tender age of seven. Not long after, her father remarried. Her new stepmother brought along two children of her own - a ten-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl. From the very beginning, they resented Ashvi. Perhaps it was because her father's heart still belonged to his daughter more than anyone else. In a house that should've been her safe haven, Ashvi became a stranger - a silent observer of a love that never reached her. Then one day, fate took another unexpected turn. It was her wedding day. And yet, Ashvi had no idea she was about to be married. Her life was about to be entwined with that of Siddharth - Asia's youngest billionaire. A man with power, wealth, and influence... but not with her heart. Ashvi didn't like Siddharth. And Siddharth? He didn't care. Their marriage was meant to be just for appearances - a bond only in the eyes of the world, not in their hearts. But time has a way of challenging even the strongest decisions. Slowly, silently, and unexpectedly... what began as a hollow arrangement turned into something real. Something deep. Something that proved they were both wrong about love.
