Eldest daughters are meant to carry the family's dreams. Mine? Becoming an IAS officer. Instead, I chose chalk dust, noisy classrooms, and a life my family calls a "phase." Romance was never on my timetable - until he walked in. I'm the quiet one who avoids spotlights. He's the one who drags them toward me. Bold where I'm quiet, certain where I hesitate, and asking the most unexpected question... in front of everyone. Two introverts. Too many "accidental" encounters. One proposal I never saw coming. --- © 2025 [ @realmwrites (V) ]. All rights reserved. This is my original work. Please do not copy, repost, or translate without permission.

"Some truths are buried in blood. Some love stories begin after death." 💔 Vaanya Gangotri returns home after vanishing for years-older, colder, and burning with revenge. They say she left for studies abroad. What they don't know is: she was broken, discarded, and left to die. She was sixteen when it happened. A name whispered. A betrayal carved into her bones. And the ache never left. Now, she's back to expose the mysteries she never knew fully existed Behind bloodied curtains of legacy and family honor lie rotting truths-of a sister's suicide that was never truly suicide, of two lovers buried in silence, and of a man named Rudraveer Singhadhiraj. Ruthless. Untouchable. Feared. He wasn't supposed to be part of her story. He wasn't supposed to be the one holding all the secrets. And yet... he's the only one who never lies. In a world of power, betrayal, and blood-drenched legacies, Vaanya must survive the past she never understood-before it repeats itself. Because fate has a sick habit of rewriting love stories with the same ending. This is not a love story written in warmth.. It's a war story. And the battlefield is the heart... © 2025 V .
