"He doesn't say 'I love you.' But he changed in all the ways that yelled it." •••••••••••••• Vaani Joshi never expected love from her arranged marriage - just respect, maybe some space, and silence she could live with. Dhruv Deshmukh was exactly that: powerful, unreadable, and cold. He didn't ask her what she liked. He didn't ask how her day was. And she never asked for anything. But then he started noticing. Not her words - her silences. Not what she wanted - what she gave up. The man who never looked twice is now the one who watches her the closest. And the girl who never expected anything... is the reason he's learning how to give everything. •••••••••••••••• "Why do you always notice the things I don't say?" He looked at her for a long second. "Because you never ask. And I've never wanted to give anyone more." •••••••••••••••• Tropes: Slow-burn romance | Arranged marriage | Contemporary drama | Indian diaspora | Urban luxury + emotional intimacy | Cold ML x Soft FL | Changing for her 🏅#1 in India 🏅#1 in Indian 🏅#1 in desi 🏅#1 in romance

Her younger brother was going to go off to college and her older brother was getting married. A lot of things did change. She was going to start working under her dad. She is ready for all this, she knew when she chose to leave her home that a lot of things would change, what she wasn't ready for, was her father's request, her grandparents' wishes, and marriage. She had mentally prepared herself for the change in existing relationships and welcoming new members into the family. She had not in her wildest dreams thought of a possibility of being welcomed into another family.

There's something strange about returning to a life you walked away from. The faces are familiar, the voices echo with memories - but time has a way of turning pain into armor and distance into clarity. Taani Shekhawat didn't come back for closure. She came back stronger. Quieter. With battles no one here had witnessed and victories they had never expected. The people she left behind had once been her world. Now, they were part of a chapter she'd stopped rereading. But life - in its relentless unpredictability - had other plans. A new connection. An old love. And a chance to rewrite what was once broken. This isn't just a story of return. It's about the woman they never saw coming. And a second chance at something she never thought she'd want again - family.

A story of everything that was felt... but never said. She was the girl everyone misunderstood. He was the boy who didn't understand himself. Taani Shekhawat-graceful, determined, and distant. Reyaansh Singhania-charming, intense, and secretly unraveling. They weren't meant to fall for each other. But every glance, every silence, every accidental touch... brought them closer. And then came the lie-a fake relationship with someone else. It broke something in him. Something he never admitted was there. Now, they're stuck between unspoken truths, possessive stares, and a fire they both keep denying. He won't confess. She won't allow herself to feel. But hearts don't wait for permission. Because the most powerful stories are the ones left... Ankahi.

[ Already Completed In Scrollstck ] Both of them were fragments of a once-whole existence, shattered by life, love, and the weight of their scars. Yet, amidst the wreckage of their hearts, a tiny spark of hope appeared- a child. Eklavya Nene, a single father navigating the stormy seas of parenthood, found himself struggling to be everything his son needed, especially the tender, nurturing presence of a mother. His divorce had left him fractured, and the idea of letting another woman into his life was daunting. But for the sake of his son, Amogh, he had to find a way. Unnati Kothari carried the weight of a troubled past, one that had led her to view men as nothing more than monsters. However, a deep-seated desire to become a mother persisted within her. When she met little Amogh through a mutual friend, her world shifted; the boy's laughter and innocence touched something in her, awakening dreams she thought she had buried forever. Brought together by the gentle nudges of friends and family, Eklavya and Unnati agreed to a marriage of convenience, each committing to the role of a parent for a child who needed more than either could provide alone. Yet, love- true, uncharted, and profound- remained an elusive mystery to them both. Could two souls so deeply marred by their pasts find the courage to trust and to heal? Would they ever allow their hearts to open and let love in, not just as parents to Amogh but as partners to each other? ------ Intended for mature readers, rated R (18+) for the subjects dealing with strong language, sexual content, abuse/ violence, and trauma. ------ One of the books from the 'Mad Love' series. It can be read as a standalone ------ [Updates on- Tuesday and Friday: 4 pm IST] [Third Person Limited + Omniscient Narration] [Unedited First Draft] [Full-Length Novel, Word Count Approx. 200K to 250K] ----- © 2024 Suganthii Media attached to this story belong to their rightful owners and there is no violation of copyrights.
