Elena married Adrian for duty, not love. He needed a wife to secure his family's legacy. She needed nothing from him-until a fire took her entire family and left her alone inside his vast ancestral estate. For years, Adrian gave her protection, wealth, and silence. He refused every demand to divorce her, yet never told her why. Elena could only assume she remained because he pitied her. Then she hears him say it aloud. A burden. A childless wife. A woman he kept out of mercy. Broken by the very fear she has carried for years, Elena leaves the main estate and moves into Luna Manor-a forgotten house at the edge of the property, untouched by Adrian's choices. I Only after losing her does Adrian finally understand that providing everything was never the same as loving her openly. But some words cannot be taken back. And some distances may be too wide to cross.

But what if the broken pieces are people instead? Sharanya Kapoor, 26, an architect, widow, and single mother, is forced into a marriage as a replacement for her step-sister who runs away from her wedding. Loving, emotionally perceptive, and carrying her own unhealed wounds, she unexpectedly enters the fractured Rajvansh household. Rishvaan Rajvansh, 34, a divorced businessman and father of two teenage sons, was once a man capable of loving deeply. But betrayal turned him cold, emotionally detached, and distant from both emotions and his children. Now, a stranger and her little daughter, Eirisha, become part of their already broken lives. Can Sharanya soften the harsh dynamics of the Rajvansh household with her quiet warmth? Will Ishvaan and Avyaan ever accept her... or her daughter as their own? Can she rebuild trust within Rishvaan's guarded heart? And if broken souls are kept together long enough... can they eventually become a family?

Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.

They say the sharpest knife is the one you don't see coming. For Athena it wasn't a weapon-it was a friend's smile and a boyfriend's whispered excuses. When she walked in on Samara and the man she loved, the blade of betrayal twisted in the dark, leaving her bleeding out emotionally on the street she thought was home. Athena thought that the worst day of her life was catching her boyfriend and her friend together. She was wrong. The worst day is when Samara re-emerged wanting the one thing Athena has left; Aarone-the person who taught her that some things are worth fighting for. She's not the girl crying on the bathroom floor anymore, she's now a woman rebuilt with steel and fire. A knife only works in the dark if the victim never sees it coming but Athena has learned to see in the dark and she's ready to catch the blade by the hilt this time.

He shut every door of hope for her... only to become the last door she could knock on. Kanak Agarwal, an Indian Army Captain, is accused of betraying her country, an accusation that costs the nation its finest officer, Captain Shashwat Rajvansh. Hated and misunderstood since childhood, judged by everyone she ever met, Kanak still chose to rise, and to prove herself. Now, trapped under the weight of humiliation and false accusations, she struggles to keep herself from drowning. Just when she tries to surface, there is a hand that pushes her back into the depths... Vihaan Mittal, a reputed lawyer chosen to fight the case against her. Having recently faced the brutal truth about his own father, Vihaan's faith in human nature has shattered completely. Regretting the mistake of trusting his father once again, he vows never to trust a snake twice. To him, people do not change, they only learn how to hide better. Vihaan feels foolish for ever believing in redemption. And when he watches his brother drown in guilt after losing his best friend, Vihaan decides to deliver justice.

Rachel had survived the worst kind of heartache and had moved on with her life by following a dream that she had always had, to be a medical relief worker. She would finally be far away from all that haunted her, and she would be able to begin again and leave the past behind her, or so she thought. When she arrived at her new nursing post, her past was there, waiting. Dr. Jack Cooper had believed he was doing the right thing when he left Rachel, but he needed to see her once more to prove it to himself. He needed to see her happy and content before he moved on with his life. Neither one of them realized that the other was less than honest about their true feelings. Now, they are forced to work side by side with other relief workers, hiding their love from each other and those around them. Can they mend their broken hearts once their shocking secret comes to light and their true feelings are exposed?

Alanna did everything in her power to gain her parents' approval: wore the right clothes, dated the right men, attended the right parties, and made enough money to get them through the doors of high society that had long been out of their reach. Instead of a thank you for all she had done, she was blamed for reacting the wrong way to finding out her husband had been cheating on her with her younger sister-and her family wanted her to accept it because it was "true love." When Alanna decided she was done vying for her parents' approval and started feeling isolated, an old classmate came to her with an offer she couldn't refuse: marry him and join one of the most powerful families in town. The catch? Intimacy was off the table. Any plans for future children would be done through surrogacy or artificial insemination. Deciding this was the only way to regain her dignity, she agreed. But her growing attraction to her new husband made the no-intimacy rule all the more unwelcome.

Ria Koss has never needed anyone to tell her who she is. Which made it so much worse when she heard exactly who Josh thought she was. She walked out with her head high and her heart intact. He's been trying to find the words ever since. Some men don't know what they have until it's gone. Some women don't wait around to find out.

EXCERPT-- "Pay up, Julian!" Marcus slapped Julian on the back, a triumphant grin splitting his face. "I knew you couldn't resist. 100 pounds, right? Told you she'd fall for the 'sensitive bad boy' routine, hook, line, and sinker." Julian's back stiffened, a sudden, rigid posture. He turned slightly, and Ellie saw Marcus pressing a crisp 100-pound note into his hand, a smug, victorious smirk on his face. Her blood ran cold, freezing in her veins, turning to icy dread. *** *** Meet Eleanor "Ellie" Smith. Your average (?), shy, kind-hearted, slightly clumsy bookworm. She believes, with every fiber of her being, that genuine connection and kindness are the most important things in life. Her world is built on empathy, quiet strength, and the unwavering belief in the good in people. Then there's Julian Thorne. Not-so-average. Bold. Ruthless. The kind of popular guy who walks into a room and owns it, radiating an icy confidence that chills everyone in his path. He wouldn't hesitate to crush anyone standing between him and success - after all, isn't that what's expected from the future head of Thorne & Sons, the most powerful empire in the city? He despises everything Ellie stands for. And it really doesn't help that she's best friends with his younger sister, Clara Thorne. When their worlds collide, sparks don't just fly... they ignite a wildfire. A reluctant, undeniable pull draws them together, even as their opposing natures threaten to tear them apart. But what does fate have in store for this unlikely pair? Join me on a journey where enemies become... something more. Where every glance is charged, and every touch could either heal or shatter. P.S. This is my very first story on Wattpad, and I'm pouring my heart into it! Your thoughts and feedback mean the world to me.
