°‧🫧⋆.ೃ࿔ 𝙧𝙤𝙢-𝙘𝙤𝙢 *:･⋆˚꩜｡🫧🐋 She only went to a wedding for the food and a quiet escape from family questions. Love was the last thing on her mind, especially not meeting anyone there. But one simple question from an aunty changed everything. In a moment of panic, she pointed at the man sitting beside her, casually eating a gulab jamun, and called him her husband to avoid an awkward situation. What she didn't know was that fate had a twisted sense of humor. That man wasn't a stranger at all... he was the aunty's son. And just like that, a small lie turned into an unexpected mess of chaos, embarrassment, and a connection she never saw coming.

A Crown of Second Chances Two royal houses. One old rivalry. A marriage neither of them chose. Riya Singh Rathore built her life on not needing anyone - least of all a man from the family that betrayed her own. Vikram Pratap came home guarded, done with trusting anyone with his heart again. Then a decision neither of them made forces their hands: unite, or lose more than either is willing to admit. Six months. One marriage. A hundred reasons to hate each other. But somewhere between the rivalry, the pressure, and a man who refuses to let her carry everything alone, Riya starts to wonder if this might be the one thing she didn't have to fight for. Vikram's learnt the hard way that love is a liability. Riya's learnt that independence means doing it all alone. Neither of them expected the other to be worth the risk.

"She married a man born of bullets and betrayal. And he claimed a bride who bleeds innocence like sin." Shanaya Gupta was the kind of girl men prayed for but devils hunted. Too sweet for the world she was forced into, too soft for the bed of a man who only knew how to ruin. Ishaan Singhania doesn't love. He possesses. And when he ripped her from the altar of a man unworthy of her skin, he didn't ask-he took. A forced wedding. A blood-stained sindoor. Now she sleeps beside the devil himself, unaware she married the reason the world burns. She's terrified of the dark. But he is the dark. And he doesn't care if she trembles when he touches her... as long as she never stops looking at him like he isn't a monster. But monsters get greedy. And when the sweetness he meant to destroy starts healing the hollow inside him, he begins to crave her. Protect her. Own her. Even if it means burning down everything-including her. She was supposed to be his weakness. Instead, she became his favorite sin. But when secrets bleed and scars resurfaces, when innocence meets obsession- what happens when the monster doesn't want to let his sunshine go? Enemies in a wedding bed. strangers tangles in fate. and a love so dark, it devours them both. A brutal, filthy, and painfully intimate descent into love, obsession, and the kind of darkness that doesn't ask for permission-it devours. This isn't a love story. This is a war. And she's both the prize and the battlefield.

Some stories are written in blood. Some sins are sacred. Aradhya Rathore - orphaned by fate. Raised by her mother's family, yet never truly accepted. She lives in a house full of people... but none she can call her own. Surrounded by tradition, drowned in silence, she learned early that love was a word people used but never meant. Shravansh Thakur - cold, calculating, and dangerously calm. A devout Bhole Nath follower raised with one purpose: to destroy the family that took away the only person he ever loved. He doesn't believe in hearts, only in revenge... until Aradhya is forced into his world. A marriage wrapped in lies. Two souls bound by a past soaked in blood. And a truth waiting to set fire to everything they touch. ______ "I hate you... I hate your presence near me," she whispered, voice trembling, eyes burning with defiance. He stepped in, close enough to taste her breath. "And I hate myself... for loving the way your lips move when you lie to me." ______ Coming soon. A story where love is a weapon, and desire is the sweetest sin. Aradhya: His Sacred Sin - where devotion meets destruction.

• 𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐅𝐌𝐂 × 𝐈𝐓𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐍 𝐌𝐌𝐂 I didn't get distracted. Not by beauty. Not by innocence. And yet, here I was. Watching her. Wanting her. She had no idea that the most dangerous man in Italy had stopped everything just to witness her. I should have driven away. I should have ignored the strange pull in my chest, the hunger curling in my gut. But then she laughed. And I knew I was fucked. Buckle up for a rollercoaster of chaos, comedy, and a whole lot of WTF just happened moments in HBHB-where love isn't just unexpected, it's absolutely ILLEGAL.

𝕬 𝕯𝖆𝖗𝖐 𝕽𝖔𝖒𝖆𝖓𝖈𝖊 𝕹𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑 She let out a humorless laugh, her expression hardening further. "You?" she said, her voice dripping with disgust. "You don't deserve a second chance. The only thing you deserve is death-and that too a horrible one." "I may not be the kind of person who finds happiness in others' grief," she continued, her lips curling in cold satisfaction, "but the day you die, I will celebrate it. I will be on the moon with happiness." Her eyes didn't waver from his. "I'll go to temples and offer prayers just to thank God for finally taking you away from this world." He shook his head slightly, his gaze never leaving her face as he said, "I do not visit temples, so unfortunately I cannot personally ask your God to fulfill your wish, but I admire your dedication." His smirk returned as he added, "However, you can try to make that wish come true after our wedding, because I will give you as many opportunities as you need to attempt it."

In a world where power is everything, the Shekhawat men rule from the shadows-ruthless, untouchable, and hidden behind the façade of billion-dollar empires. Their secrets are buried deep, their sins masked behind tailored suits and cold stares. No one dares to cross them. Until they do. Yashika, Meher, Trisha, and Tanishka-four women bound to the Shekhawat brothers by fate, deception, and secrets too dangerous to unveil. Each step they take, each vow they make, pulls them deeper into a world where love is a weapon and loyalty is a curse. Yashika fights against a marriage that was never meant to be hers. Meher walks a thin line between silence and rebellion. Trisha plays a game even she isn't sure she can win. Tanishka, the wildcard, is the one threat they never saw coming. But in a world where betrayal is inevitable and love is a dangerous illusion-who will survive, and who will burn?
