To know more, please read the story. ✿✿✿ Thank you Enjoy reading. ( This is my first book....I'm just experimenting with my ideas here. my characters are imperfect, and there are some loopholes.

Sandhya Sandhya, the youngest of her family, is a vibrant spirit, full of life and unspoken dreams. Despite her outward cheerfulness, she has learned to stay quiet in the face of familial expectations, choosing silence to maintain peace in a home that never fully understands her. Her accomplishments, though significant, go unnoticed, and her older sister's achievements often overshadow her. Sandhya, however, harbors a secret: a part of her soul that flourishes in ways no one knows. To escape the suffocating grip of her family, she agrees to a marriage of convenience, not seeking love, but the freedom to live as she chooses. Arjun Arjun, the eldest son in a family with expectations as high as the mountains, has always been the dutiful one. Pressured to follow a path that never felt his own, he's a doctor not by choice, but by duty. In his heart, he longs for a partner, someone with whom he can share the quiet moments and the wild dreams, someone who will choose him just as he chooses them. When he marries Sandhya, he hopes for more: an emotional connection, a bond that goes beyond the surface. Yet, despite their physical closeness, something feels missing, a distance he can't bridge. The Love That Took Its Time Two souls, each running from something they can't face alone. Sandhya's world is a quiet one, built on layers of unspoken truths and dreams left hidden. Arjun's world is one of unrelenting expectations and a life he never chose. When they marry, neither expects the other to change everything. But in the stillness of their shared space, they discover that sometimes, the quietest moments are the loudest. Their journey won't be easy, but in the places they never thought to look, they find something unexpected, something that was always there, waiting to be uncovered. In a marriage built on silence, can they find the voice to truly understand each other? Or will they remain strangers, even in love?

MATURE | 18+ Patralekha was the 'invisible' student. A-grade focused, quiet, and terrified of the man at the front of the lecture hall that always noticed her for the wrongs things. Her professor, who was icy, brilliant, and harboring a past that could freeze the blood in your veins. It was one mechanical failure that led to a compromised moment, where they forced a vow. Now, the man who scolds her in the classroom is the same man she shares a silent apartment with. But every time their eyes meet, the logic fails. In the classroom, he's her professor. At home, he's her husband. But in the dark, they are two strangers drowning in a marriage that was never meant to be real. He's cold but carries her when she faints. *picture's not owned by me - #2 in wife #4 in marriageofconvenience

𝙎𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙮𝙖𝙨 𝙄𝙮𝙚𝙧 - charming, disciplined, and completely off-limits. He was her brother's teammate, eight years older, already taken - the one man 𝘼𝙖𝙨𝙝𝙣𝙖 𝙆𝙤𝙝𝙡𝙞 was never supposed to love. But rules were easy to make and impossible to follow. Growing up, Aashna had one golden rule drilled into her: no dating her brother's teammates. Especially not him - the man who smiled like sin and carried heartbreak in his eyes. Yet somewhere between team dinners, unspoken glances, and quiet plane rides, the lines began to blur. Every look felt like a risk. Every silence felt too loud. Because when love crosses boundaries, it's never just a game anymore - it's a dangerous choice that could destroy them both. Some boundaries are meant to protect you. Others are meant to be broken.

("Quietly marry our daughter, officer... or else, the same rage you came here with, you'll return with your best friend's corpse alongside you.") An IPS officer. That's what I am. Stoic, trained to face gunfire without blinking, to stare criminals in the eye. And yet, here I stood in a mud-stained courtyard, stripped of power, cornered by men who didn't fear the law. Is this real? An officer dragged into a pakdua byaah like some helpless boy? With a village girl-barely literate, cloaked in shyness and fragility? Me-a divorced man, father to a one-year-old daughter who waits for me to come home? Nothing about it fit. And yet everything about it was true. Because my best friend-my brother in every sense-sat tied to a chair across from me. His hands bound, his eyes defiant, and three guns pointed to his head. Aarish. Soon to be a father himself. Husband to Suhani, who was as much my sister as blood could make her. What was I supposed to do? Marry or rebel? The choice was never mine. I whispered, almost ashamed: "Main talaaqshuda hoon... aur ek beti ka baap bhi." ("I am divorced... and also the father of a daughter.") She looked at me with steady innocence: "Nahi... ab aap ek shaadi-shuda insaan hai. Aur hum uss bachi ki maa hai." ("No... now you are a married man. And I am that child's mother.")

She had everything- A glittering skyline at her window, parents who adored her, a lover who swore the stars would bow to her smile. At twenty-eight, Aarika Singhania ruled her empire-a company she'd built from dust and ambition. She was everything which a girl dreams of. Her life was perfect. Too perfect. Until one night-screeching tires, shattered glass, and then-nothing. When she opened her eyes again... the world wasn't hers anymore. A cramped bedroom. Faded walls. Two small faces staring at her with tear-filled eyes- "Mommy?" Her reflection in the cracked mirror was a stranger-twenty-one, tired, beautiful in a way that carried pain. A ring on her finger, a man's shirt hanging on the door, and two toddlers calling her mother. The CEO of a billion-dollar company... now a young wife in a life she never lived. Who was the woman she replaced? Where did her own body go? And can she return to the world that once bowed to her name- or is she destined to rewrite her fate in this borrowed skin? Her heart says it's a second chance. Her mind whispers it's a trap.

One night. One mistake. One life-altering consequence. When Ira Kapoor, a girl born into wealth and perfection, wakes up to two pink lines and a blurry memory, her carefully curated world unravels. The father? Anirudh Sharma-a grounded, soft-spoken manager at an event firm, older than her by a few years and miles apart in lifestyle. Neither love nor even friendship ties them together. Only a moment of impulsiveness they never meant to share-and a child they never planned to create. Forced into a sudden marriage to preserve her family's honour, Ira finds herself in a modest home, far from the comforts of her past and with a man she barely knows. Her heart resists, her pride rebels. Middle-class life feels suffocating, and Anirudh's quiet existence is a world she doesn't understand. But beneath the surface of their mismatched lives is something unexpected-kindness that doesn't demand, patience that doesn't waver, and a slow-burning bond that begins to take root. As monsoon skies roll above and the seasons shift, so do their hearts. Love doesn't arrive in grand gestures-it seeps in gently, through shared cups of tea, silent understanding, and the quiet promises of two people learning to walk a path they never chose, but might just learn to call home. Under the Same Sky is a tender, evocative tale of accidental beginnings and unexpected love-where two strangers become partners, parents, and perhaps... soulmates. "They weren't a fairytale-but under the same sky, they learned how to write their own." ❤️ Started : 22 June, 2025

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐤 (𝟏𝟖+) When twenty-year-old Gauri, a naive and soft-spoken village girl, suddenly found herself tied in marriage to Madhav, a twenty-five-year-old shy and gentle man who spent most his days from morning to evening working in the fields, neither of them knew where or how to begin. They were two inexperienced souls, bound by a relationship they didn't fully understand. Gauri had never imagined what kind of husband she wanted, nor had she ever dreamed of love the way stories described it. And Madhav? He was far too absorbed in his farm and his duty toward his widowed mother to think about marriage or women. His life began and ended with the soil beneath his feet and the responsibilities on his shoulders. Two strangers, unaware of love's language, now share the same roof. But destiny had other plans because somewhere in Madhav's past still lived a woman. The woman who once dreamed of a future with him. And when fate decides to bring that past back into his present,will time heal what love could not or will the past come knocking on the door of their fragile new beginning?

In the chaos of Mumbai's Colaba streets, a luxury black Bugatti stopped right in the middle of the market, scattering vendors and honking rickshaws. Out stepped Alessandro Moretti - Italy's most feared mafia don, dressed in a white shirt rolled to his elbows, tattoos crawling up his veins like sin itself. He was in India for blood, not love. But then, she crashed into him - literally - holding a bucket of marigolds and muttering something in Hindi that made him forget how to breathe. Her eyes were fire. Her mouth, a war he was ready to lose. And when she yelled at him for blocking traffic, Alessandro, the man who made empires burn, only smirked and whispered - "Bellissima... I think I just found my chaos." From that day, he didn't care about borders, bullets, or business wars. He cared only about her - the stubborn Indian girl who hated men like him and made his criminal empire tremble with one look. Because love was never meant to be this messy. But neither was the mafia.

Iris Mercer was never meant to be loved. Not in that marriage. Not by a man like Elliot Graves. It was supposed to be an arrangement. It became a year of shared silence that was never empty, of touches that were careful not to want too much, and a love that grew anyway, stubborn and deep. Then Elliot forgot her. The accident took the year that belonged to her. It left Elliot with memories of another woman, a different life. A life before Iris. He remembers nothing of the marriage that changed him. Iris remembers it all. She watches her husband move through their home in a body that knows her but a mind that does not. She hears Elliot's voice form another man's words. She grieves for a love that existed only in a single, stolen year, because some kinds of love are not repeated. They are built once, and lost forever. This story contains dark themes, emotional trauma, and explicit intimacy. Intended for mature readers.
