𝑼𝒑𝒅𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝑬𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝑺𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒚 In the ever-awake city of Mumbai, where glass towers touch the sky and darkness moves quietly beneath the glitter, two worlds that were never meant to meet are about to crash into each other. Zara Kapoor isn't just another CEO-she's a force. Sharp, ambitious, unapologetically bold, and returning home to expand her tech empire on her terms. But the moment she walks into Arjun Malhotra's world, the rules shift. Arjun-ruthless, feared, untouchable-rules Mumbai from the shadows. Mafia royalty, with secrets deeper than the sea and eyes that see too much. Their first meeting? Not fate. A move. Strategic. Calculated. Dangerous. What starts as a business deal twists into something far more explosive. Attraction turns reckless. Power turns personal. And suddenly, Zara is no longer playing the game-she is the game. But when love tangles with legacies, and families carry more than just blood in their veins-loyalties will be tested, betrayals will cut deep, and choices will either build empires... or burn them to the ground. This isn't just about love. It's about pride, power, family, and everything no one talks about in polite society. "Empires of the Heart" is your next obsession-where mafia politics meet modern ambition, love is never safe, and every chapter leaves a scar. #MafiaRomance #PowerCoupleEnergy #EnemiesToSomethingMore #FamilyFeuds #LegacyLove #MumbaiHeat

❝𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒃𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒚 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒕, 𝒄𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒚?❞ _____________________________ Sidharth never wanted this marriage. Trapped by circumstances and haunted by a past he didn't want to face, he told himself it was only a duty. But Noor-silent, simple Noor-was something he couldn't ignore. Her presence stirred something in him, her quietness louder than his own chaos. She never asked for anything, yet she made him face the parts of himself he wanted to forget. And as his walls started to fall, he hated that he wanted her-that he needed the warmth of someone he was never meant to have. As time went on, He began to behave in ways that were antithetical to his initial intentions. He found himself doing everything he had once vowed never to do with his wife. He became the very husband he had despised. He started to crave more, an insatiable desire that gnawed at his soul for her. And then nothing seems to satisfy his aching soul other than his arranged wife's one smile. ●An Indian arranged marriage romance. #Book-1 in #His bride series.
