In the great kingdom of Indraprastha, Queen Draupadi gives birth to twin daughters of the mighty warrior Arjuna. From the moment they are born, the palace is filled with joy. The two sisters grow up together, always side by side, sharing the same laughter, dreams, and love. As children, they are loved equally by everyone around them. To the world, they look like two flowers blooming from the same branch. But as the years pass, people begin to notice their differences. Anurati grows into a girl of extraordinary beauty. Her beauty becomes famous, and stories of her grace spread far and wide. Wherever she goes, people cannot stop praising her. Nayantara though kind, gentle, and pure-hearted, slowly begins to live in the shadow of her sister's beauty. At first, the sisters do not notice the change. But the world does. Whispers begin to grow. Comparisons begin to rise. People slowly start choosing which sister is more beautiful. And a silent question begins to follow them everywhere: Can two sisters who were once loved the same... remain the same in the eyes of the world? Sometimes, it is not fate that separates hearts. Sometimes... it is the judgment of people. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 (Important Note: In this story, the Pandavas and the Kauravas share a peaceful and respectful relationship. There is no great rivalry or war between them. The Pandavas also have a strong and friendly bond with Angraj Karna. These elements are part of the fictional world created for this novel.) Disclaimer This story is a pure work of fiction. It is inspired by characters and settings from ancient Indian mythology, but the events, relationships, and storyline are created only for storytelling and imagination.

Two sharp minds. Two bigger egos. One case that changes everything. Carmen de Peyster isn't a lawyer, but she knows how to win. A strategist, a fixer, a woman who plays the game better than most men in the room. When she helps Harvey Specter close a case, he thinks that's the end of it. But when the tables turn and she's the one who needs help, Harvey finds himself stepping in. Only this time, it's not business-it's personal. She's too smooth, too stubborn, too good at the game. He's too arrogant, too charming, too used to control. Together, they're unstoppable-if they don't drive each other insane first. What starts as strategy turns into something neither of them can ignore. Because when the stakes are high and the egos are higher, victory isn't just about the case anymore. I do not own any of the original Suits characters.

He's the heir to an empire. She's the quiet girl no one expected him to choose. Devank Mehra doesn't talk more than he needs to. Vani doesn't talk at all unless she has to. When an old family promise ties them together in an arranged marriage neither of them asked for, silence becomes their common language. But he watches everything. And she notices too much. In a world of expectations, power, and controlled emotions - something soft begins to unfold. This isn't love at first sight. It's a story of stolen glances, unspoken tension, and the slow unraveling of two people who were never meant to fall... but do anyway. 💍 An age-gap, slow-burn arranged marriage romance. 🥀 Where silence is not the absence of love... but the beginning of it. #romance #romanticfiction #lovestory #indianromance #fiction #love #romancewriter #arrangedmarriage #slowburn #agegapromance #dominantmalelead #shyfemalelead #silentlove #tension #emotionalromance #softgirl #slowburnromance #wattpad #wattpadindia #wattpadwriter #indianwriter #writersofwattpad #wattpadstory #wattpadromance #newonwattpad #readonwattpad

SCHEDULE : EVERY MONDAY 💗 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Isha mehra × Rudra malhotra ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My grip on the steering wheel tightened. Isha. Isha. Isha. That name. It wouldn't stop circling inside my head like a curse. "Hm. Rudra?" mom's tone shifted slightly. "What about you? What do you think about Isha?" "She's... pretty." That slipped out of my mouth before my brain could lock it down. I kept my eyes forward, pretending I hadn't just lost control over my damn tongue. Shit. Did I just say that? Me? "She's pretty, huh, bhai?" Arjun teased, grinning at me through the rearview mirror. Damn it. This idiot's going to turn it into a full family circus. "Beta, I didn't ask how she looks," mom said, folding her arms like she was holding court. "I asked, what do you think about her." I didn't answer. Because I didn't know what the hell to say. So I said nothing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning : This story contains abuse, torture, force (not between the couple), murder, and violence. And many more things that might triggerd you. If you're not comfortable with such content, please do not read.
