Aakriti Malhotra... The youngest. The loudest. The one who filled every corner of her home with laughter. A soft-hearted, beautiful girl who never learned how to stay quiet. Carefree like the wind, bold like fire, and loved beyond words by her family. A family that felt complete- Two parents who adored her. Four protective elder brothers who treated her like their whole world. An elder sister who was her best friend, her secret keeper, her shield. She was their princess. Or so she believed... Until everything changed. The day her uncle and aunt left for London, they didn't just take their two sons with them. They left behind two daughters-silent, forgotten, and slowly fading into the background of a family that once felt whole. And then came her 19th birthday. A night meant for laughter. Lights. Celebration. Love. But instead... it became the night everything shattered. One accident. One moment. One truth too heavy to survive. And when Aakriti woke up to her world breaking apart... She didn't see the same eyes anymore. The same family who once worshipped her presence... now looked at her like she was a stranger. Like she was a mistake. Like she was a criminal who had destroyed everything they loved. Her name was still Aakriti Malhotra. But in their eyes... she was something else entirely. A girl once held like glass... now left to break in pieces no one tried to fix. Because sometimes, love doesn't disappear. It turns into silence. Into blame. Into distance so deep... it feels like death. And in that silence, one question remains- What really happened that night... that turned their princess into their punishment?

They said she didn't try. They said she chose herself. They said she was the reason their parents died. So they threw her out... like she never belonged. Three years ago, Meher lost everything in a single night-her parents, her home, and the only people she ever called her world... her brothers. Meher was the last person who saw them alive. She promised to save them. But she failed. And they believed she never tried. But what if the story they believed... was never the truth? When fate brings her back into their lives at a wedding that was never meant to reunite them, old wounds begin to bleed again, truths start to surface, and hearts that once loved... begin to shatter all over again. Because sometimes, the one you hate the most...is the one you never stopped loving. And sometimes, the biggest misunderstanding... costs you everything.

She loved him with all her heart. The entire college knew that Shivanya Malhotra was hopelessly in love with her senior, Rudraksh Singhania.

Will his love be enough to heal the wounds he created? Or are some goodbyes meant to last forever?

⭐ "Found Family × Protective Older Brothers × Broken Twins × Slow Healing × Hidden Mafia Family × Strangers to Home" Best ranking #1 mafiaqueen #3 foundfamily #12 Wattpadindia #28 business out of 142k (24/06/26) "A broken pair of twins find a home in strangers who slowly become their family - and their greatest protectors, even in a hidden world of secrets." Two broken twins. A past full of pain they never deserved. When Kian and Kiara are brought into a new home, they expect nothing... just another place to survive. But instead, they find something they never had - a family. A loving stepfather who treats them like his own children. Five half older brothers who slowly become their protectors. And a home that starts healing the wounds they've carried for years. For the first time, they feel seen. For the first time, they feel safe. For the first time, they feel loved. But even in a home filled with warmth... not every truth is spoken out loud. And sometimes, even love hides secrets.

In a world where hearts were easily broken, he chose to have none. A powerful businessman, cold and untouchable, lived a life built on silence and control. He never spoke with warmth, never cared enough to stay, and never allowed anyone close enough to hurt him. Emotions were nothing but distractions-and he had buried his long ago. Until one night... everything changed. He found her-alone, trembling, and fragile like a piece of glass ready to shatter. Her eyes held fear, her silence carried pain, and her small hands clutched onto nothing... as if she had already lost everything. For the first time, he didn't walk away. He didn't know why he stopped. He didn't know why her tears affected him. But something in her broken existence reached the part of him he thought was long dead. She was scared of everything... even of him. Yet slowly, unknowingly, she became the reason his empty world began to feel again. He, who never believed in love, found himself learning care... patience... protection. Not as a lover- But as a brother she never had. And she, who feared the world, found safety in the arms of the man everyone else feared. But when the shadows of her past return, threatening to take her away from the only place she feels safe... Will he be able to protect her? Or will the fragile bond they built break before it can truly become a family. A story of a shattered girl and a frozen man-two souls finding warmth in a bond stronger than blood. ✨ ---

"Vi... Viaan, please don't do this.. don't leave me, please come back. It's our wedding day. Plea...please I'm begging you." "Do not ever call me again, Ira. It's over between us." The line went dead. That was all it took for him to left me at the Altar for her. *** ~ A REBIRTH STORY From childhood, Ira Veyansh was always compared to Niya Kapadia. Niya ~ the maid's daughter who could do everything better. Studies, sports, looks, manners, obedience, everything. Everyone loved Niya. Ira parents, her brothers, even the family celebrated her like she was one of their own. Birthdays, dinners, small achievements... the praise always went to Niya. "Ira, you should be more like Niya." "I wish Niya was my sister." "Take a lesson from Niya." Day by day, Ira felt invisible. Starved for love and attention, she did things she shouldn't have, hurt Niya, humiliated her, even darker. But nothing worked. Then came Viaan. Her childhood love. The one she thought would finally make her happy. But he chose Niya too. The pain and humiliation were too much for her to handle. That night, walking alone in the rain after being abandoned at her own wedding, Ira was hit by a truck. A brutal accident that ended her life. But life gave her a second chance. A rebirth. She remembered everything. Every insult. Every betrayal. Every heartbreak. And somewhere in that second life... there is this man. Reevan. A man she was never meant to cross paths with. Forbidden.

🌹 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 Aria arrives at her new school carrying more than just a past-she carries a silence sharp enough to cut. She doesn't look for attention, she doesn't ask for friendship, and she definitely doesn't believe in love. Not anymore. Her world is built on rules: Stay small. Stay quiet. Stay hidden. But everything starts to shift the moment Shivansh Rawat begins to notice her in ways she can't ignore. He watches her the way no one ever has-carefully, respectfully, like he's trying to understand the shadows she refuses to speak about. He doesn't push. He doesn't pry. Yet somehow, he gets closer than anyone should be able to. His presence is steady. His patience is disarming. And his care? It's the kind of dangerous that scares her... because she wants it. Aria feels the walls she built trembling against him-this boy who quietly steps into the spaces she guards most fiercely. He makes her question everything she believes about trust, safety, and love itself. But darkness doesn't disappear just because someone kind walks in. As she becomes part of a world filled with loud laughter, fierce loyalty, and friendships that burn bright-Rohan and Avni's fiery clashes, Saavi and Akshat's warm, teasing spark-Aria begins to feel something she has long forgotten: Hope.
