Start: 27-04-2026 Ekansh Deewan once loved a woman deeply, Hiba. His love for Hiba never faded away even after her demise. Hiba, being from a different religion, her family didn't approve of her marriage to Ekansh. They eloped and got married against the will of Hiba's family when they were twenty-six. They built a company together and became successful. Ekansh loved his wife and son dearly until... they were murdered. He lost his beloved Hiba and his six-month-old son to murder in the name of honor killing. The day he lost his Hiba he lost himself. He has become numb to the world and avoided people. Focusing on work and drinking. He became an alcoholic. At night, he will look at the last family photo he took with Hiba and his son as tears spill down his eyes. Seeing Ekansh's condition, his parents felt helpless seeing his son in distress. So, they forced him to marry Mayuri Thakur. An orphan girl his uncle was raising. Mayuri is a timid girl who lost her parents and was raised by Ekansh's uncle. She is quiet and soft-spoken. A nurse. Ekansh was pressured into marrying Mayuri against his will. Mayuri has always loved Ekansh from a distance. A one-sided love, even if she knew Ekansh would never love her back, she married Ekansh in the hope one day he would love her. Will Ekansh ever move on from his loss and accept Mayuri as his wife? Or did Mayuri make a grave mistake by marrying a self-destructive Ekansh?... ──── ✮ ──── 𝐀 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥.

"Some bonds are written long before they are spoken." At just six years old, Shivanya Chauhan was married off in the name of tradition. To her innocent mind, it was nothing more than a game of "playing house." But to Rudraksh Singh Rathore - sixteen, city-bred, and bound by his grandfather's dying wish - it became a silent burden and a sacred promise. Years passed. He left to chase his dreams - a soldier forged in the fire of discipline and duty. She stayed behind - a bride in waiting, her life molded by customs, her heart clinging only to his memory. Twelve years later, Rudraksh returns as a decorated officer, and Shivanya stands before him as a woman - no longer the curious child he once protected. Yet between them lies a bond that defies time, silence, and distance. Was it only a vow he had to fulfill? Or a love written in destiny long before either of them understood it? ✨ A tale of promises, longing, and a love that outlives tradition.

I thought I had the perfect marriage. Then I caught my husband lying. Vidyut said it was just business. That the woman he was meeting meant nothing. But lies have a way of unraveling, and when I discovered she was his ex- the one he never told me about-my world shattered. I saw something that ripped my heart out. Then the pictures surfaced. Him and her. Reunited. That was the moment I walked away. But Vidyut? He's not letting me go. Not without a fight. And now, the man who broke me is ready to grovel-to ruin his pride, his reputation, even himself-just to win me back. But some betrayals cut too deep. And I don't know if love is enough to fix this.

He wasn't heartless. Just... unconvinced. Of love. Of women. Of promises that sound too pretty to be true. She wasn't broken. Just quietly aching. To be seen. To be wanted for who she is, not who she's expected to be. He inherited empires. She inherited emptiness. And when fate ties them together, love doesn't enter gently- It cracks the walls, shakes the ground, and demands to be felt. Loving Through Your Darkness Two hearts. One lie. And a love story neither of them believed they deserved.

"She loved him first. He fell harder." The Marriage He Never Wanted "Bound by duty. Torn by emotions." A contract, a classroom, and a love neither saw coming. Loving Mr. Oberoi "He was her professor, her CEO, her husband... but never hers." His Reluctant Bride "She was forced into his world. He was blind to her heart.!!!!!!!"
