Sandhya Sandhya, the youngest of her family, is a vibrant spirit, full of life and unspoken dreams. Despite her outward cheerfulness, she has learned to stay quiet in the face of familial expectations, choosing silence to maintain peace in a home that never fully understands her. Her accomplishments, though significant, go unnoticed, and her older sister's achievements often overshadow her. Sandhya, however, harbors a secret: a part of her soul that flourishes in ways no one knows. To escape the suffocating grip of her family, she agrees to a marriage of convenience, not seeking love, but the freedom to live as she chooses. Arjun Arjun, the eldest son in a family with expectations as high as the mountains, has always been the dutiful one. Pressured to follow a path that never felt his own, he's a doctor not by choice, but by duty. In his heart, he longs for a partner, someone with whom he can share the quiet moments and the wild dreams, someone who will choose him just as he chooses them. When he marries Sandhya, he hopes for more: an emotional connection, a bond that goes beyond the surface. Yet, despite their physical closeness, something feels missing, a distance he can't bridge. The Love That Took Its Time Two souls, each running from something they can't face alone. Sandhya's world is a quiet one, built on layers of unspoken truths and dreams left hidden. Arjun's world is one of unrelenting expectations and a life he never chose. When they marry, neither expects the other to change everything. But in the stillness of their shared space, they discover that sometimes, the quietest moments are the loudest. Their journey won't be easy, but in the places they never thought to look, they find something unexpected, something that was always there, waiting to be uncovered. In a marriage built on silence, can they find the voice to truly understand each other? Or will they remain strangers, even in love?

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.

When 32-year-old pediatric surgeon Charlie Grace woke up one morning and decided to leave her life in New York behind, she didn't just quit her job - she abandoned her family, her home, all that she's ever known. With nothing but a job waiting for her in Los Angeles, she goes searching for a fresh start, whatever that looks like. Enter Artemis Stark, the head of neurosurgery at Thomas Stark Memorial Hospital.

The two learn to work together despite their differences. But with the intensity of saving lives and navigating their own personal lives, they need an outlet. And maybe they find that they're not so different after all. Maybe they discover that their needs align perfectly. And maybe, just maybe, there might be more to it than patients and surgeries. -- This story is entirely my work of fiction. All characters and fictional places are from my own creation.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)
