☆⁠▽⁠☆ "What are you doing here?" he asks me, his eyes raking over my drenched body and widening. Instantly, he opens the door further, allowing me to slip inside and grab a towel from somewhere, handing it to me. My sobs may have taken a backseat for now but the urge to break down in someone's arms who cares about me hasn't receded yet. I came here to find my best friend and instead, I look into the eyes of her much older, much handsome brother and a tear slips down my eyes and in a second, so does my bravado. My knees buckle and the ground beneath me slips as I fall with a raged cry. "I didn't know where else to go." ☆⁠▽⁠☆ Anaya Rai, the wife to one of the wealthiest conglomerates in India is happy. Or as happy as she can pretend to be until one day everything topples over and she shows up at her best friend's house, or rather, her best friend's brother's house. Ayaansh Singhania, the to-be CEO of the largest industrial estate is determined, driven and well, much to his parents' dismay, also single, which puts him at a risk of not inheriting the company he has dreamt for for years.

•Completed• UNEDITED Blurb: 8 lives. 4 couples. 1 family where marriages are made not for love, but for legacy. In the grand Rajput mansion, behind heavy curtains and perfect smiles, four women live a truth far from the fairy tale they imagined. Roop, Heer, Kriti, and Kavya were tied to the Rajput heirs - a surname that promised status, but delivered only loneliness, pain, and broken trust. They weren't told marriage meant silence. They weren't told a husband's love might never come. They weren't told survival would become their only goal. For the Rajput family, love is weakness. Control is everything. And women are expected to endure - not to dream. But these women are not as fragile as the world believes. Beneath the layers of heavy sarees, tradition, and fear, hearts still dare to hope, and spirits still learn to fight. Some marriages might remain loveless. Some husbands might never change. But fate isn't the only author of their story - they are. A deeply emotional journey of toxic relationships, lost dreams, cruel traditions, and the quiet, unstoppable strength of women who refuse to surrender. Not every story is about happily ever after - some are about surviving until tomorrow. Started on: 22/09/2023 Ended on : 17/04/2024

She carried the marriage alone-until silence shattered everything." She gave everything-her heart, her voice, her dreams. He gave nothing but his absence. When Isha Agnihootri stepped into marriage with Rudra Singh Rathore , she didn't dream of love-but she didn't expect to be invisible either. While Rudra buries himself in work, believing financial security is enough, Isha stands alone, holding together a family that never truly accepted her, and a marriage that never truly began. While Rudra chased money in the name of duty, Isha carried the weight of a family that never accepted her, protected the home he abandoned, and fought battles he never saw. She poured love into empty rooms, into cold silences, into the void he left behind. She lost her laughter. She lost her dreams. She even lost her ties to the family she once called her own. But now, she's done losing. How long can one person love when no one loves them back? When a fierce confrontation threatens to break the fragile shell of their marriage, the word divorce is spoken-and with it, years of buried emotions come flooding to the surface. For the first time, Rudra is forced to face the woman he never truly knew. When duty becomes distance, and silence becomes betrayal-how long can love survive? Will shattered vows finally be broken for good, or can love be born from the ashes of pain? Will the families step up to heal what they helped destroy-or prove once and for all that love is just a myth? Will Rudra wake up to the wife he never truly saw? Will Isha learn to love again-or walk away from love for good?
