/BOOK 2 - PROPOSAL SERIES/ -- Starting fresh, starting new is never easy. Not when you leave a major part of yourself back and locked in chains of the past. Mahira comes to Mumbai - unplanned, unguided. She strives to make a life here with more work and fewer words. She had started setting her feet in the city of dreams, opening up to people, and making new friends and family when she talks to him unaware of his real identity. She knows what he tells her. Like darkness, which can't be seen fully but exists. He exists too, hidden from her eyes with a powerful name. RV Malik - the name taken with fear and displeasure in the world of business. She was proposed to when she was weak, the moment when it was his arms that made her feel safe and she said Yes. Will a yes be her biggest sin? Will taking a chance for happiness be her mistake in life? What happens when she's tangled in the mess of power and marriage with a man she knows nothing about? All she knows is the man and his proposal.

Two orphaned best friends, Aarya and Mannat, have survived every storm together, but nothing prepares them for the tempest that two of the country's most powerful men bring into their lives. Aarya, fierce and unyielding, believes in fighting for what's right. When she stands in the way of Ranveer Rathore, a ruthless businessman who stops at nothing to expand his empire, she unknowingly signs her fate. Ranveer, a man accustomed to getting what he wants, sees Aarya as nothing more than an obstacle-one he will crush at any cost. But when her resistance costs him a major deal, he takes revenge in the cruelest way possible-by forcefully making her his wife. Bound in a marriage of power, control, and defiance, they wage a war neither of them is ready to lose. Mannat, soft-spoken and kind-hearted, has always been the one to bring peace. But when Aarya's freedom is at stake, she makes the ultimate sacrifice-offering herself to Vihaan Rajput, a cold, calculating billionaire who sees marriage as nothing more than a business deal. Vihaan's inheritance depends on him producing an heir, and he needs a woman who will carry his child and walk away when the time comes. Mannat agrees, thinking she can remain untouched by a man who has no heart. But she doesn't expect to uncover the man hidden beneath the ice. And Vihaan doesn't expect that the woman he thought was merely a contract will become his greatest obsession. As fate, power, and desire entangle their lives, Aarya and Mannat find themselves trapped in marriages where love was never part of the equation. But the heart has a way of rewriting rules, and when hate turns into something far more dangerous, the question remains-who will break first? A story of power, revenge, sacrifice, and an unexpected love that defies all boundaries.

He built an empire on flawless food. She's the disaster that threatens to burn it down. Viren Vadera is Chicago's most arrogant, acclaimed celebrity chef, whose molecular gastronomy temple, Alchemy, is a symbol of absolute perfection. His image is his fortune. But a single, unfortunate incident involving an unexpected allergic reaction and a signature dish turns his world upside down. Overnight, Viren is the target of a vicious global media frenzy, convinced he's been publicly sabotaged. The woman at the center of the storm is Dia Gupta, a fiercely efficient, crisis-averse hotel manager who despises unnecessary drama. She just wants to return to her life in Mumbai, but her well-meaning friends have already launched a high-stakes lawsuit and a media campaign on her behalf. Convinced she is a cynical opportunist, Viren vows to expose Dia. But when the precise, dramatic chef collides with the hyper-organized manager, their public feud quickly turns into a private, volatile attraction. Can a recipe for pure chaos actually lead to a perfect romance? This is one dish neither of them saw coming.

Pari Thakur has always lived in the shadows. Sweet, soft, and overlooked because of her size, she never imagined a man like Kabir Raizada-ruthless, arrogant, devastatingly handsome-would ever look her way. For six secret months, he became her everything: the man who touched her when the world ignored her, who made her feel desired, even cherished. But Kabir Raizada doesn't do love. He doesn't do forever. To him, women are entertainment, bodies to conquer and discard, and Pari was no different... until one mistake changes everything. When Pari discovers she is pregnant, her fragile dream of belonging to him shatters under the weight of his cruelty. Kabir refuses to accept the child, refuses to accept her. With cold words and brutal detachment, he pushes her out of his life, proving she was only ever a fleeting distraction. But fate is not so easily controlled. What Kabir casts aside may become the one thing he can't live without. And Pari, once weak in his arms, may discover a strength that forces him to his knees. In a world where desire burns, betrayal cuts deep, and love is the most dangerous risk of all- can a ruthless man ever learn to cherish the woman who was once his greatest mistake?
