Runaway Hearts Hitansh Sanghavi- Untouchable. Bound by one vow: marry before his grandmother dies. Sriza Ghoshal-an orphan. A runaway bride. Hiding in a city that swallows the weak. Their first collision? "Move your rich brat car! Because of you I'll miss my interview!" She never looked at him. When her résumé lands on his desk, he ensures she steps into his cabin. Fights. Fire. Two months of chaos. Then his offer- A one-year contract marriage. Complete it... and he'll erase himself from her life forever. A deal signed. A year of pretending. A year of dangerous truths. A year later... ....the pen falling from her hand on that paper that tilted DIVORCE , a tear escaping, and the sound of rolling luggage as she leaves the Sanghavi villa- maybe for good. SHE IS RUNNING AWAY FROM THE TRUTH ONCE AGAIN!!

(Complete) " Please say no to this marriage" she said. " Why?" the guy asked looking confused. " Um... Say that you don't like me. Please" she said innocently. He chuckled and asked, " Why do you want me to say no?". " Because I think you deserve someone better!" she said. " Why do you think I deserve someone better?" he asked. She kept quiet. " Isn't that my right to decide whom I want to marry?" he asked. _________________________________________ Viraj Khanna : He is 27 years old. He is the CEO of Khanna groups company.

🌸 The wedding drums still echoed in her ears, even after the guests had left and the house had sunk into silence. Ananya sat on the edge of the bed, her red bangles clinking softly as she folded her trembling hands in her lap. This was the moment she had dreamed of since childhood-the beginning of a new life, a partner who would hold her close, a home built on laughter and trust. But reality stood in sharp contrast. Across the room, Arjun loosened his tie with visible frustration, his face drawn with an exhaustion that wasn't from the rituals but from something deeper-resistance. He hadn't looked at her the entire evening except when duty forced him to. His voice, when he finally spoke, was clipped and cold, a knife to her fragile hopes. "This marriage..." he said quietly, almost to himself, "was never my choice." The words sank into her heart like stones, shattering the fragile castles she had built in her imagination. Ananya lowered her gaze, tears pricking her eyes, but she swallowed them down. Crying wouldn't change the truth. She was an introvert who had never asked for much-only a life where love bloomed slowly but surely. Yet here she was, bound in a relationship where love seemed like a distant mirage. He was a man carrying his own scars, his own chains, and she was caught in the storm of his unwillingness. In that quiet room, between two strangers joined by force, a journey began. A journey that would test patience, break walls, and question what it really meant to choose someone-not with words, but with the heart. And though neither of them knew it yet, what started as a forced bond would one day turn into a choice that would redefine them both. --- 🐚🦑🪷

"Do you regret kissing me, Ishika?" His voice dropped-dark, low, and possessive enough to steal the air from my lungs. My entire body froze. Not because I didn't know the answer- But because I did. My breath hitched, sharp and aching. Regret? God. If only he knew what that kiss did to me. His grip didn't loosen. His fingers dug gently into my wrist, grounding me to him, to the heat of his body pressed against my back. I could feel every inch of him-dangerous, intoxicating, magnetic. "Ishika," he rasped again, each syllable laced with something desperate. Something real. "Do. You. Regret. It?" I should lie. Say it meant nothing. That it was a mistake. But my heart? It was screaming. Screaming for him. No. No, I didn't regret it. I couldn't. If I had, I wouldn't still feel his taste on my lips. I wouldn't still be burning from the ghost of his touch. I wouldn't still be aching for more. "We wouldn't be kissing for so long...and still not want to let go...if I regretted that," I whispered-my voice trembling, My voice trembled. "If I regretted it, Veer..." I whispered, "...I wouldn't be standing here, craving your mouth on mine again." And that's it- I felt the pull.
