Some marriages don't end because love disappears. They end because grief quietly replaces it. Layla Scott and Tristan Scott were once the couple everyone envied. She was the brilliant attorney who believed love could survive anything. He was the celebrated heart surgeon who promised to protect her heart forever. Together, they dreamed of building a family. Instead, they buried three babies. With every miscarriage, Layla disappears deeper into guilt, convinced her broken body has failed the man she loves. Tristan buries his own heartbreak behind endless surgeries, believing that carrying the weight alone is what a husband is supposed to do. Until the silence between them becomes louder than their vows. One moment of weakness shatters the fragile trust holding their marriage together. But the greatest betrayal doesn't end there. Because after the guilt... after the apologies... after promising himself it would never happen again... Tristan meets someone who understands the parts of him his wife no longer can. What begins as friendship slowly becomes the one place where he feels seen. And by the time he realizes he's fallen in love... his marriage is already over. If Only is a heartbreaking story about grief, emotional infidelity, forgiveness, and the impossible choices that follow when love collides with loss. Because sometimes the marriage doesn't end the day someone cheats. Sometimes it ends long before that. Sometimes, it ends the day two people stop grieving together.

Nithila never wanted the spotlight. She was happy in her little world - a classroom filled with giggles, crayons, and the smell of chalk. Teaching at a small government school wasn't fancy, but it meant everything to her. The kids adored her, and she loved them right back, one lesson, one drawing, one tiny hug at a time. Arjun Adithyan lived in a different world - stadiums, flashing cameras, fans screaming his name. Cricket wasn't just his passion, it was his life. But somewhere between winning matches and collecting trophies, he'd started feeling... tired. A part of him missed something real. Something grounded. That breeze had reached the storm. And before he even knew it, he wanted more of it all the characters in this story is fictional and none of them represents real person. Please dont cop my work

To the world, he is a Beast. To the world, she is a Ghost. To a baby, they are everything. Rudra doesn't do "gentle." He is a storm of iron and cold calculation, a man whose presence usually clears a room. Anshika is his polar opposite-a woman of soft whispers and averted eyes, someone who has spent her life staying out of the spotlight. They were strangers until a blood-soaked promise tied them together. When a dying couple entrusts them with a ten-month-old infant, the instruction is chillingly clear: Do not trust the bloodline. Protect him from everyone. To save the child from a war he's too young to understand, Rudra and Anshika must commit to the ultimate masquerade. They aren't just protectors; they are now parents. In the glittering boardrooms of Bangalore and the crowded halls of elite weddings, they must convince the world that the child in their arms is their own. For Rudra, it means suppressing the lethal beast within to play the part of a devoted father. For Anshika, it means stepping out of the shadows to stand as the shield for a family that didn't exist yesterday. As they navigate bottle-feedings by night and high-stakes secrets by day, the lie begins to feel dangerously real. But in a world where the child's true identity is a death warrant, they must play their parts perfectly. Because if the world discovers that this "perfect family" is a fiction, the massacre they survived in the valley will only be the beginning. One lie to save him. One promise to hold them together. A thousand secrets that could tear them apart.
