Some loves are written in the stars. Others are woven into the very fabric of existence. In the timeless realm of Vaikuntha, Bhagwan Anant Sheshnag-the eternal serpent companion of Lord Vishnu-carries a wound that will not heal. For millennia, he has mourned Devi Urmila, his beloved wife from the Treta Yuga, knowing she dissolved into the five elements long ago. Yet his heart refuses to accept what his mind knows to be true. Until Lord Vishnu whispers a truth that changes everything: "The soul is eternal. What dissolves is only form." In modern India, Simhadri Sarang Tehsildar is a no-nonsense tehsildar navigating the chaos of land disputes and bureaucratic tangles. Practical, grounded, and entirely skeptical of anything she cannot see or touch. Yet she is haunted by dreams of a palace she has never visited, a garden she has never walked, and a voice calling a name that is not her own. When a mysterious scholar named Anant enters her life, Simhadri's carefully ordered world begins to unravel. He speaks of ancient legends as if he lived them. He looks at her as if he knows her soul. And when he finally tells her the impossible truth-that she is the reincarnation of Devi Urmila, and he has searched across time itself to find her-she must choose between the rational world she knows and a love that transcends lifetimes. But divine love comes with divine consequences. When cosmic forces threaten to tear them apart once more, Simhadri and Anant must answer an eternal question: What does it mean to truly love someone-across lives, across worlds, across the very boundaries of time itself? A sweeping romance that bridges mythology and modernity, Lakshmilla is a story of longing and reunion, sacrifice and choice, and a love that refuses to be forgotten-even by eternity.

Start - 28.5.2024 He's a billionaire with the world at his feet, finds himself in a realm where time stands still. There she is, draped in the splendor of her bridal finery, an ethereal beauty that stirs his soul. He gazes upon her, his mind a whirlwind of disbelief and longing- "Will she be his at last, or is she a celestial apparition destined to vanish at his yearning grasp?" His thoughts race "will she truly become his, or is she a mirage that will dissipate at his touch?" 'Please tell me "Mi Querida"'. ________(⁠◍⁠•⁠ᴗ⁠•⁠◍⁠) ________ In stark contrast, the second scene paints a chilling tableau. The air is pierced by the sound of water, a relentless downpour that drowns all but the most sinister of intentions. Her, innocent and unaware, is ensnared in the vulnerability of the shower's embrace. Outside, a figure looms, He, the enigmatic man with a past as shadowy as the smile he wears. Leaning against the cool glass, his gaze fixed on the unsuspecting girl, he lets out a puff of smoke that mingles with the morning mist. "You've danced right into my web," he thinks, a predatory glint in his eyes. "Escape? From me? Oh, 'Mi Pequeña Asesina', the game has only just begun." He smirk. (With each turn of the page, 'Love - The Sweet Entrapment' promises a journey where passion intertwines with peril, and where every choice could be a step toward ecstasy or a descent into the abyss, is a tale that weaves together the threads of romance, suspense, and mystery, where every heart hides a secret, and every smile masks a strategy. It's a story that promises to captivate readers, leaving them questioning the very nature of love-is it a sanctuary or a subtle trap? It's a narrative that will ensnare the reader, holding them captive to the very last word)

"You... you are... here." His voice came out as he whispered, surprising me. I tilted my head slightly and looked at him, responding to him. I licked my lips as I spoke back to him, "Sorry. I don't get what you are saying." I tried to keep it simple. But just as his soft fingers caressed my cheeks like a feather gracing over them, his cold fingers felt so good at the top of my heated cheeks that my body melted at his touch. "Ahh," I gasped at his sudden closeness and touch. I found myself leaning into it. He slowly leaned in, and his hot breath grazed the tops of my lips as I yearned for them to touch mine. Something then I didn't realise would cause the destruction I witnessed through the screen. ___________________________________________________________________ What happens when the villain's heart is filled with one face, the face that has guided him all his life, loved him, and been with him? Bhalla was many things, but he was a lover to his Nandhini, the sole thing holding up his humanity, his anchor from the world, which never supported him. But the only thing is that she is not from his reality or even real. She only visits him in his dreams, and in that dream, he lived, loved, and cherished; for him, that is his reality. Suddenly, he disappeared, leaving him in darkness as he had to fend off his nights with dreamless sleep. Only for her to appear in his reality without knowing him and their connection. Will the villain go to any extreme to get her back to him? To make her love him and see things from his perspective. She is his Niyati. Bhalladeva x OC
