I reply, my expression unimpressed. Alex pouts dramatically. "Now, is that what you're going to call your boyfriend?" he asks, feigning hurt. I correct him. "Fake boyfriend," I say, my voice firm. Alex chuckles. "Same difference," he says, grinning. ~~ Crestwood High Trilogy #2 ● SILVER BLAKE I've got one simple rule: Don't get too close. Boys think they can handle me, but they can't.

I've tried to get to know her, but she's always pushing me away. But I'm not giving up yet.

In a world where power is everything, love is the deadliest illusion. She was meant to be nothing more than a pawn-a daughter who smiled on command, a woman who played her role. But behind her delicate façade lies a storm waiting to break. He took everything from her. Now, she will take it all back, piece by piece, until his empire is nothing but ashes.

Polite friendship slowly becomes rooftop talks, shared umbrellas, and unspoken feelings. Aaradhya and Ryan never exactly got along. Their clashing attitudes and sharp banter hiding something deeper.

When You Happened is a gentle celebration of friendship turning into love, and love kept quietly, fiercely, and all at once.

In a world where loyalty is sacred and love is forbidden, three lives are about to collide in a storm of secrets, betrayal, and desire. Vivaanth Singhania, a name whispered with awe and fear—heir to an empire, a man whose brilliance hides a darkness that no one dares to touch. Power is his weapon. Control is his language. And when he wants something, nothing stands in his way. Mantra Thakur, the picture of grace and restraint—disciplined, elegant, and raised under the watchful eyes of tradition. But the walls she built around her heart begin to crack the moment she steps into his world again… this time as his personal assistant. What was once a distant admiration turns into something dangerous, intoxicating, and utterly consuming. Anika Desai, the sunshine girl who has always believed in love, has carried a quiet devotion for Vivaanth for years. To her, he is a dream. To Mantra, he is a temptation. And to himself, he is a man on the edge of obsession. What begins as a professional façade unravels under the dim lights of a company party—a sensual dance, a stolen touch, and a kiss that leaves marks on skin and soul alike. The chemistry between them is undeniable, the tension suffocating, and the guilt unbearable. Because no matter how deep their desire runs, one truth remains: she is betraying the one person she loves most. Caught between a friendship that feels like family and a man who feels like destiny, Mantra must choose between loyalty and love, duty and passion, silence and surrender. But Vivaanth Singhania has never been a man who lets go of what he wants.

And when obsession takes root, it doesn’t just consume—it devours. This is not a fairytale. This is a war between heart and mind, innocence and desire. And in the end… love might not save them.
