"You... want me to show you my belly? And you're paying me 500 dollars for it?" I repeated in disbelief. "Yes," Mr. Calnan replied curtly. Shock mixed with suspicion. Mr. Calnan, our strict and cold boss, who had banned all workplace romance, wanted to see... my belly? Why my belly, of all things?! And why ME?! This had to be a test. He was testing whether I would agree, only to fire me afterward. But even that theory had flaws-after all, he was the one who initiated this crazy idea. I hesitated for what felt like a long time. Then, in the end, curiosity won over, and on a sudden impulse, I spread open my work coat and lifted my white T-shirt. Mr. Calnan's gaze instantly locked onto my bare stomach. His focused stare burned into my skin as he thoroughly examined every square inch of the exposed area. My face burned with embarrassment. He didn't say anything, and he didn't grimace, but I could see on his face that he didn't like what he saw. My chubby belly, my stretch marks, and the faint line of hair below my navel that I hadn't had time to shave. Well, I know it's not the most attractive sight, but then why did he want to see my belly? Honestly, what was he expecting? "Can I pull my T-shirt back down?" I asked, humiliated and irked. "Yes," Mr. Calnan replied after a brief pause. He didn't speak for a while, just stared at my now-covered stomach with a blank expression. Meanwhile, I waited impatiently and tensely for him to do something. I needed to know whether he was actually going to give me the money or not, and whether it would turn out that this had all just been a test. Suddenly, he moved toward me, closing the distance between us. He loomed over me, and I looked up at his face in alarm. "I'll give you another 1000 if you let me touch your hips." My eyes widened in shock. *Edited to fit within the character limit for the description

Varsha Sharma had always believed life unfolded in a straight line-one step after another, one dream leading gently into the next. She had love waiting for her, wedding rituals filling her days, a brother and sister-in-law who were her world, and two little souls who filled the house with laughter. Everything was set. Everything was certain. Until the night everything changed. In a single, cruel moment, her perfect life shattered, leaving her with two infants who clung to her heartbeat and a world that no longer made sense. Her marriage collapsed, her home fell silent, and every path she once dreamed of closed at once. But grief has a strange way of rearranging destinies. Pulled together by loss and bound by responsibility, Varsha and Ashwin Raina-strangers in every sense but devotion-find their lives stitched into the same story. He, the quiet, work-driven brother who lost a sister too soon. She, the bruised yet unbreakable girl who became a mother overnight. Together, they step into a marriage neither planned, building a family from the ruins of heartbreak, discovering strength in places they never looked, and learning that sometimes love doesn't arrive as a choice... but as a promise you make to those who can't make one for themselves. Sometimes love doesn't arrive as a fairy tale- sometimes it grows quietly in the spaces grief leaves behind.

Because the playboy millionaire who never commits is falling for her-and secrets always come out, whether Bailey likes it or not.

But his empire begins to crumble when a manipulative rival woman blackmails him into a marriage he doesn't want... one that could destroy everything he's built and the woman he truly loves.

They're definitely not in love. (Except for the part where Mikha's heart rate spikes every time Aiah speaks. And Aiah keeps filing motions just to make Mikha snap.)

Enemies-to-lovers, lesbian lawyers, spicy tension, and courtroom drama? Sue me, baby.

ACP Tara Ahuja has spent her career chasing a truth buried with her parents. Names, files, silences. Justice, if it still exists. Abhiraj Chowdhury lives inside that chaos. He runs a city without asking for permission, bound by rules he inherited. He believes in control. In loyalty measured by silence. In violence executed like habit, not rage. Three shots. Always three. Enough to end a life without wasting time. Their connection is forbidden, a mistake she can't undo. Truth surfaces in fragments. Loyalties fracture quietly. And attraction arrives where it should not, between interrogations, gunmetal silences, and conversations that feel too honest to be safe. Loving him could cost Tara her badge, her past, and her dead parents' memory. Loving her could cost Abhiraj his empire, his men, and the one rule he swore never to break. This is not a story about redemption. It is about what people choose to protect when everything begins to rot. WARNİNG!!!! ⚠️ ⚠️⚠️⚠️ 𝐌𝐲 𝐦𝐚𝐟𝐢𝐚 𝐠𝐮𝐲 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥 😏🫠😛.
