She loved him. He played her. She broke. He walked away. Years later, Vedika has rebuilt herself from the ashes of heartbreak. She is strong, successful, and determined never to let anyone have power over her again. Love? She doesn't believe in it anymore. Not after what Aditya did to her. But fate has other plans. He's back. And this time, he's her boss. The man who once shattered her heart now holds control over her career. He's still the same-charming, arrogant, and dangerously irresistible.

But when old sparks collide with unfinished business, she finds herself trapped in a dangerous battle between her past and her future. Will she forgive him? Will she seek revenge? Or will she walk away once and for all? And the biggest question of all-Will she ever let him put a ring on her finger? Or will she be the one to reject him this time? 🔥 A story of love, heartbreak, and second chances. But not every love story deserves a happy ending... or does it? 🔥

TIDES OF SERIES #1 (Can also be read as standalone) ✯TIDES OF BELONGING ~ A Highschool Love Story✯ "Sometimes, home isn't a place-it's a person who makes you feel seen." To those who believe in love that arrives softly yet stays forever. ──────•❥─────── ✯VIHAAN PATHAK - the golden boy senior✯ Vihaan was the kind of boy who could make anyone smile-confident, charming, the kind who flirted just to make others feel good. But behind that easy smile was a boy who never truly let anyone in. A born leader, the heartbeat of every crowd, yet lonely when the noise faded. He believed attachments were distractions... until she came along. The quiet girl who preferred shadows over spotlights, books over parties, peace over chaos. The one person who never tried to impress him-just looked right through him. And somehow, that's what made him fall. Harder than he ever thought he could. "Main chahta toh sabse door reh sakta tha... par tumse chah ke bhi nahi." ──────🧸────── ✯ANVI KASHYAP - the quiet storm junior✯ Anvi was not loud-she was midnight rain. Calm. Composed. Beautiful in her silence. To people, she seemed reserved, almost distant. But once you truly knew her, she could talk endlessly, with laughter that warmed even the coldest hearts. A topper, a thinker, a girl who fought for her respect and stood tall for those she loved. She didn't believe in fairytales. She believed in effort, in respect, in understanding. And yet, when she met him, her carefully built walls began to tremble. He was sunlight-steady, blinding, and too warm to resist. She was the storm that taught him how to feel the rain. "Tumhare saath waqt rukta nahi... bas thehra sa lagta hai." ──────•❥────── Vihaan x Anvi - Because sometimes, belonging isn't about finding someone who understands you- It's about finding someone who chooses to stay.

It's a kingdom of wealth, secrets, and danger dressed in Gucci. Ishaani Verma, a soft-spoken scholarship student with a shark plush and a spine of unexpected silly steel, enters a world that smells like expensive perfume, bloodlines, and threats wrapped in luxury and where students wear Rolexes to PE and insults are served with Dom Pérignon. She's quiet. Middle-class. Smart. A scholarship girl with a painfully soft and innocent heart. Dev Oberoi is the inked, unhinged heir to a billion-dollar empire. Rich, rude, ruthless. With a self-declared girlfriend, two bodyguards who double as best friends, and a habit of breaking rules, he's known for destroying people with a smirk. But the moment he sees Ishaani feeding crumbs to a shark in the sunlight... something breaks. In him. He doesn't understand her. He doesn't want to. But he wants her. Desperately. Obsessively. Brutally. Softly. "You think I'm a bully?" "You are a bully." "Good. Because for you, I might become worse." From forced proximity and cafeteria wars, to secret lounges, stolen glances, and heated threats whispered against lockers-Dev becomes the devil she can't escape. And Ishaani becomes the softness he never wanted to need. But there's a reason girls like her don't belong in castles. And the prince? He bites. A high-end school where the golden stairs lead straight to hell, and love might mean ruin. Or worse, obsession. Vote.Comment.Follow.♥️

#1 | Blood Constellations [Book 2 ~ Not a standalone] They say power is seductive-but what happens when seduction itself holds the power? In the world of gold-plated thrones, whispered alliances, and endless-billion-dollar mergers inked with nothing but a glance-love is not romantic. It's strategic. Ruthless. Calculated. And no one plays the game quite like Avantika Kapoor. She's the heiress every man in Bombay wants and every woman fears-flawless in diamonds, icy in silk, and lethal in a boardroom. With a tongue sharp enough to slice steel and a mind trained to conquer empires, Avantika doesn't bend, doesn't bow, and certainly doesn't fall in love. Until Vikram Oberoi. Self-made billionaire. Corporate wolf. India's most dangerous obsession. He wasn't born into power-he bled for it. From the dirt-lined alleys of South Bombay to a penthouse throne no one could touch, Vikram is ruthless, reclusive, and intoxicatingly off-limits. He doesn't believe in love. He believes in control. But one look at Avantika, and he wants something he's never allowed himself to crave-her. When a forced engagement throws them into a war neither wanted and a marriage neither can escape, their icy hatred burns into blistering passion. But behind closed doors and champagne smiles lies a battlefield of whispered secrets, blackmail, twisted legacies, and hidden enemies who don't just want to ruin them-they want to erase them. As power collides with lust and two empires hang in the balance, Vikram and Avantika must decide: Will they destroy each other, or burn the world to build their own? Vote. Comment. Follow.❤️

#2 | Blood Constellations [Book 1 ~ Not a standalone] At Royale Crown Academy, where wealth dictates power and legacy defines worth, Dev Oberoi is untouchable. The heir to the Oberoi empire-a dynasty built on luxury, tech, and politics-he is ruthless, commanding, and dangerously possessive. No one crosses him and lives to tell the tale. Then comes Ishaani Varma. A soft-spoken, middle-class girl who enters the academy on a scholarship. She is fragile, painfully innocent, and entirely out of place in this world of private jets and designer labels. She doesn't understand the whispers, the silent rules, or the weight of Dev's gaze when he sets his eyes on her. But she is not the one to like them. From the moment he sees her, he decides-she is his. She isn't allowed to cry-because he will kiss it away. She isn't allowed to flinch-because only he can touch her. She isn't allowed to look at another man-because she belongs to him. But Ishaani doesn't understand obsession. She doesn't see the danger behind his devotion. Because in Dev's world, love isn't sweet. It is raw, consuming, and unbreakable. And in this dark, elite world-she will race against him only to lose? She was never meant to have a choice. But she wasn't like others, she was Femme Fatale. Vote.Comment.Follow.♥️

I stood there, trembling slightly, my heart threatening to burst from my chest. The world around us seemed to blur, leaving only him - his presence, his warmth, the steady rhythm of his breathing. My voice came out barely a whisper, fragile, almost breaking under the weight of my longing. "Kya mein tumhare seene par sar rakh kar aakhri baar tumhari dhadkan sun sakti hu?" (Can I... can I rest my head on your chest and hear your heartbeat... one last time?) I asked, each word soaked in fear and desperation. I felt as if if I spoke any louder, the fragile moment would shatter into pieces. Mihir looked at me then. He didn't speak immediately. He just held my gaze, his eyes searching mine as if trying to memorize every fragment of me, every silent plea in my soul. And then, in that gentle, quiet tone that cut deeper than any scream, he said, "Tumne agar meri dhadkan aakhri baar sun li toh tumhari dhadkan humesha ke liye ruk jaayegi." (If you hear my heartbeat one last time... your heartbeat will stop forever). The words sank into me like ice, freezing everything inside me, yet setting my heart ablaze in a strange, unbearable ache. I felt a shiver run down my spine, but I couldn't pull away. Somehow, I wanted to feel him, wanted to feel the warmth of his chest beneath my head, even if it meant risking everything. ----------- What will happen if, with just one glance at someone, a person's life changes? How did that one look make that person fall to their knees in prostration? Will she be able to forget that single gaze that made her a prisoner forever? Was that meeting of eyes the will of the God, or just a lesson for her?
