There is nothing that can save her from becoming the prime suspect of a crime, she never committed, except...except for one lie. A single lie that everyone already believes to be true.

A lie that would turn her from being a mere housekeeper to being the girlfriend of her ex-boss. However, it is a known fact that it never ends with one lie. To cover up one, you need to keep on lying. But the question is until when? Until when can you keep up with all those lies. Probably when ones pockets start overflowing from those little lies. Until then- You Lie...to Survive. Cover credits- @AngeBlancRose ~~~•~~~ Awards: 🥈First Runner up - The Author's Vault Awards.

Some love stories begin with a choice. Theirs begins with a lie. Ishaani Awasthi never planned to become someone's fiancée overnight-least of all Yuvaan Rao's. He's reckless charm wrapped in confidence, she's control stitched together by responsibility. When families, traditions, and one disastrous misunderstanding push them into a fake engagement, they do what anyone desperate would do. A fake engagement. A real mess. And feelings no one planned for. They pretend. But pretending is dangerous when the house is full of elders who believe in destiny, friends who believe in chaos, and hearts that were never meant to stay untouched. Between stolen glances, staged affection, late-night plans, and Bollywood-level dramatics, Ishaani and Yuvaan walk a fragile line-stretching time, dodging rituals, and lying to everyone except each other. Because somewhere between delaying mahurats and faking forever, the truth begins to breathe. And the question isn't if the lie will unravel. It's what survives when it does. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A heartwarming rom-com that proves love can bloom in the middle of life's beautiful chaos. Yuvaan and Ishaani couldn't be more different - or so they think. He's a free-spirited dreamer with a love for the wild; she's a grounded realist juggling responsibilities and expectations. But when fate (and a series of hilarious, messy circumstances) keeps throwing them together, they're forced to confront not only their growing feelings but their own vulnerabilities. Through heartbreaks, missteps, and moments of unexpected connection, Yuvaan and Ishaani's journey becomes one of realizing you don't have to carry every burden alone - sometimes, the greatest strength comes from letting someone else in and leaning on their shoulder when you need it most.

I cradled him tenderly against my chest, his tears falling into the gentle folds of my kurta's neckline. "Nayan," I whispered. He only tightened his grasp on my waist, his silence speaking volumes. The thought of revealing my knowledge of his love, the woman who had long held my husband's heart, felt suffocating. But I remained silent, savoring the warmth of our first tender touch, our first embrace, as I held him to his vulnerability.

His arrival gives her the opportunity to take a step out of her cocooned world, to do something daring for once in her sheltered life. What if a girl with perpetually cold feet chooses to befriend a boy who lives like there is no tomorrow?

Shrew, grump, ornery, he knew the many nicknames of her, except her real name. She proved true to her description when, one night, she cuts off the wire of his music system in the middle of a raging party. That was his first impression of hers. He also never expected her unrelenting efforts to befriend him. When he finally gives in, the possibility of tomorrow increases with every shared laughter and stolen glance.

Or, will it remain a fond memory to smile upon when a day gets a bit more difficult than the rest?

"He doesn't say 'I love you.' But he changed in all the ways that yelled it." •••••••••••••• Vaani Joshi never expected love from her arranged marriage - just respect, maybe some space, and silence she could live with. Dhruv Deshmukh was exactly that: powerful, unreadable, and cold. He didn't ask her what she liked. He didn't ask how her day was. And she never asked for anything. But then he started noticing. Not her words - her silences. Not what she wanted - what she gave up. The man who never looked twice is now the one who watches her the closest. And the girl who never expected anything... is the reason he's learning how to give everything. •••••••••••••••• "Why do you always notice the things I don't say?" He looked at her for a long second. "Because you never ask. And I've never wanted to give anyone more." •••••••••••••••• Tropes: Slow-burn romance | Arranged marriage | Contemporary drama | Indian diaspora | Urban luxury + emotional intimacy | Cold ML x Soft FL | Changing for her 🏅#1 in India 🏅#1 in Indian 🏅#1 in desi 🏅#1 in romance
