She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.

Niharika and Kushaan are the integrated part of eachother's lives. As long as they both remember their childhood-the other one had always been in it. Their friendship didn't begin with a "hi" or a "hello." It was almost as if God had written it long before they were born. Their fathers were best friends, and somehow, they inherited that bond without ever trying. They were best friends... until being friends weren't enough. And the biggest question was-could they ever find their way back to friendship, or create something even more beautiful? Read to find out, what circumstances exactly told them that being friends wasn't enough? ✦ 𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐄𝐒 ✦ • 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝑳𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒔 • 𝑬𝒙𝒕𝒓𝒆𝒎𝒆 𝑺𝒍𝒐𝒘 𝑩𝒖𝒓𝒏 • 𝑪𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒅/𝑭𝒂𝒎𝒊𝒍𝒚 𝑭𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒅𝒔 • 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒊𝒂𝒈𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒏𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 • 𝑯𝒆 𝑭𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝑭𝒊𝒓𝒔𝒕, 𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒆𝒍𝒍 𝑯𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒆𝒓 • 𝑺𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑹𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𐙚 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆, - 𝑨𝒓𝒑𝒊𝒕𝒂 ✦ 𝒘𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒓

Tears threatened to spill out from my eyes as I looked at my reflection in the mirror. DEVASTATED and BETRAYED. Suddenly, the door of the room opened and slammed shut. I looked at his reflection from the mirror and wiped off my tears hurriedly before shoving the card inside one of the drawers, not wanting him to know about it. He came and hugged me from behind resting his chin on my shoulder. Reality dawned upon me and fear crawled up on each and every ounce of my skin. Sweat buds formed on my forehead and neck as I looked at him staring at me intensely from the mirror. His gaze was filled with desire. He turned me towards him by holding my waist gently and sealed our lips in a soft and gentle kiss. I closed my eyes trying to hold back my tears which were ready to spill out anytime feeling disgusted with his touch. At that moment of helplessness, all I was praying to God was 'please god let it be a dream where I'll wake up beside the love of my life, my Rann' but the saddest reality is it's not. "My Rann is a ruthless killer. He is a Devil with whom I got married."

But at the same time, he can't live without teasing and irritating her every single day. Aira Malhotra The princess of the family and everyone's favorite person.

Mayra Rajvanshi The daughter of a well-known businessman. She knows Reyaan loves her, but she never misses a chance to tease him or bring him to his knees.

She loves him enough to walk away from him for his own good.

They called her a burden. They called her unwanted. Aarohi grew up feeling like she did not truly belong anywhere. She learned to stay quiet, to not argue, and to not expect too much from anyone.

Aarohi must learn how to adjust in a family that is nothing like the world she came from. Will she always feel like an outsider? Or will she slowly find a place where she is accepted not out of duty, but out of choice? This is a story about family, healing, strength, and finding a home in the most unexpected place. Because sometimes, the people who are not related by blood... become the ones who matter the most. NO.#1 IN SISTERSBESTFRIEND (20 JULY, 2026)

He wasn't supposed to touch her. Yet here she was in his arms, held like she belonged there, like she had never been meant to stand anywhere else. "Put me down..." Arohi whispered, her voice trembling despite the strength she tried to hold on to. Her hands pressed lightly against his chest, a weak attempt to create distance, but his grip only tightened, not enough to hurt, just enough to remind her that he wasn't letting go. "You still think you have a choice?" His voice was calm, almost soft, but something darker lingered beneath it, something that made her breath hitch. She looked up at him, and what she saw in his eyes wasn't anger or care, it was something far more dangerous. Something that didn't ask. Something that claimed. Years ago, he had left without a word. Everyone thought it was his choice. But the truth was, he left to protect her from himself, from the way his gaze lingered too long, from the darkness inside him that whispered her name like a sin. He thought distance would bury it, that time would erase it. But obsession doesn't fade. It waits. It grows in silence. And now he was back. Standing too close, holding her too tightly, looking at her like he had already crossed a line she didn't even know existed. "I did that once," he said quietly. "Let you go." His hold tightened just slightly. "Not again." In that moment, Arohi understood something she should have realized the second he walked back into her life. He didn't come back to stay. He came back because he couldn't stay away. Because the darkness he once ran from now wanted her. Not gently. Not safely. But completely.
