Vanika Mehta came to Stanford for a fresh start. A new country. A new life. A chance to finally breathe. But some pasts don't stay behind. Reyansh Singhania-her brother's best friend, her first love, and the boy who broke her-was supposed to be just a memory. Instead, he's right there... colder, more powerful, and completely out of reach. They don't talk. They don't look back. They pretend nothing ever happened. Until everything starts happening again. Because while she's trying to move on... he's starting to feel everything he once buried. And this time- he might fall harder.

I have already had enough coldness and dictatorship in my life and the last thing i needed was another person adding to it. He was the epitome of frigidity, capable of freezing you with a single glance. I despise dictators and the chilling aura they bring. And I absolutely despised him. I couldn't stand him one bit.

Prapti was the kind of girl everyone called a "baddie" confident, beautiful, bold, and always surrounded by attention. But behind her perfect image was a girl completely unlucky in love. Every relationship she had ever been in ended with cheating, lies, and heartbreak, until she finally stopped believing in love altogether. Then came Yuvraj. Quiet, nerdy, awkward, and the complete opposite of her world. What Prapti didn't know was that Yuvraj had been her one-sided lover for years, loving her silently from afar without expecting anything in return. Their story began with a fake relationship. Prapti needed a boyfriend to get rid of her toxic ex, and Yuvraj agreed instantly, even knowing his feelings for her were real. At first, everything between them was just an act...fake dates, fake texts, fake smiles for the world. But slowly, things changed. The more time they spent together, the more Prapti realized Yuvraj loved her differently. Gently. Purely. He listened to her, stayed during her worst moments, and cared for her in ways nobody else ever had. For the first time, love felt safe instead of painful. And somewhere between pretending and healing, their fake relationship became real. While teaching Prapti what true love looked like, he was silently fighting the hardest battle of his own life. When she found out, her world shattered. Because the boy she once treated as temporary had become the only person who ever loved her sincerely. Yuvraj showed her that real love is not about grand promises....it's about staying, caring, and loving someone even when life is falling apart.

✧༺ 𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐕𝐈𝐊 𝐱 𝐇𝐄𝐄𝐑 ༻✧ Some stories begin with love. This one begins with finding a family. When Heer's world shatters overnight, she is thrown into a life she never imagined-a life filled with strangers who are suddenly her family, brothers she never knew existed, and a home that doesn't quite feel like hers. Lost, heartbroken, and carrying the weight of her mother's absence, Heer struggles to find her place among the powerful Raichands. But while she fears being unwanted, the truth is far different. Because somewhere between Rakshit's silent care, Rihaan's endless teasing, Kanishk's chaos, Priyansh's unwavering support, Arhaan's warmth, and Shaurya's fierce protection, Heer slowly discovers what it means to belong. And then there is Rutvik. The boy who falls first, The boy who waits. The boy who looks at her as if she is every beautiful thing the world forgot to name. What begins as friendship blossoms into a love story filled with stolen glances, soft confessions, inside jokes, forehead kisses, and a boy who never lets her doubt her worth. But life isn't only made of happy moments. Secrets surface. Hearts break. Fears return. Relationships are tested. And Heer must learn that family isn't always the one you're born into-sometimes it's the people who choose you every single day. Filled with sibling chaos, unconditional love, emotional healing, unforgettable friendships, heart-fluttering romance, and a heroine who finds her voice amidst the noise, Heer is a story about grief, belonging, and the kind of love that turns strangers into home.
