1900s, North India. The grandeur of a zamindar's haveli hides passions too dark for society to accept. Raghuveer Singh, the forty-year-old zamindar, commands fear and respect. A man of discipline and restraint to the world-yet behind closed doors, he visits courtesans to silence the hunger his body cannot tame. It was he who once refused to marry the young village girl, suggesting she wed his reckless brother instead. But fate is cruel. When tragedy strikes, Gauri enters his household-barely eighteen, newly blossomed, her body carrying the glow of youth, her beauty ripening into womanhood. He tries to look away, but every curve, every shy glance, every innocent touch ignites an ache he cannot control. And she, despite the chain of marriage, desires the very man who denied her once-the man twice her age, the master of the haveli. Now, within walls where scandal can destroy generations, they are drawn together by need, by sin, by hunger. But can a forbidden fire survive in a world ruled by tradition? Can she embrace the man she should never crave? And can he resist the temptation that threatens to consume them both?

In 1800s Awadh, marriages were for honor - not love. Avantika became the wife of Virendra Thakur, a powerful zamindar, widower, and father of two, knowing her place was bound by duty. On their wedding night, he told her she would have the respect of his household... but nothing of his heart. Yet respect cannot quiet longing. In the candlelit halls of the haveli, every stolen glance, every brush of his hand, and every night spent under the same roof only deepened the ache between them. And in the stillness of those nights, where power and pride ruled the day, they fought a private war - of desire, restraint, and unspoken truths. **** Will Avantika melt the walls around his heart... or will she be consumed by her own yearning? When respect, pride, and forbidden passion collide - what will win? Most important... will she survive being The Thakurain?

Married in the mothers' wombs, this is a story of two individuals and how they overcome the many obstacles life throws at them in a traditional backward country. The next king and his first wife. This is unlike any other classic Indian romance I have ever been across. A lot of interesting things occur in the life of a modern prince and his simplistic wife. A radical prince who wants to break all the norms of society and a simple princess who just wants a normal palace life. Can they survive the world when evil is brewing right in their family? Many attempts to break those two apart by the very woman who got them together and his second marriage put their relationship to a damper but can they manage to stay together?

Revenge and anger can drive a man to any extent. He either looses himself and drowns in the everlasting anguish or finds an unexplored path. Raja Rudransh Pratap Aditya of Jessore, Bengal, the mighty ruler known for his valour and his resistance against the Mughal Empire strives for a path of revenge from Kingdom of Harikela for the promise he made to his father on his death bead. A lie, a foe , a deceive and the ultimate betrayal. "Kidnap the Princess!" I growled at Anirban by minister. "But that's unethical Maharaj" he adjoined his hands, pleading me to not do this. "It was unethical for them to kill my father !" I screamed , the rage making me vibrate and the vision of my father's brutal death clouding my vision. I will kill them!! All of them!! Wage war against them even if I have to go through the unconventional way!! I will take away his daughter , Princess Sukanya and make her my mistress. ------------------------- 1 in #historicallove

In ancient Times, we have heard about stories of kings who were in polygamous marriages. And certain movies have romanticised their life with second or last wife. But I feel they didn't exactly show the feelings and griefs of a first wife rather they were made villains.

So this is my first try in wattpad and tell me your views about the story. #1 in india #3 in Cheating #6 in heartbreak #8 in historicalfiction #7 in betrayal
