Before college begins, Shraddha and Abhay are tied together by a secret - an arranged marriage neither wanted but both must live. Shraddha, a bold and vibrant Tamil Brahmin girl with a love for dance and literature, steps into Mumbai's bustling university carrying the weight of tradition and a heart full of silent dreams. Abhay, her charismatic senior and a second-year literature student from a wealthy business family, is everything she isn't - confident, reckless, and untouchable to everyone but her. Bound by vows whispered in secrecy, they navigate a campus where they are strangers in public and something much more behind closed doors. As their worlds collide - rich and orthodox, modern and rebellious - they learn that love doesn't always come in loud declarations. Sometimes, it is written in quiet verses and stolen moments. _____ "I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul." _____ Will their vows confine them, or will the verses they write together set them free? ⸻ TROPES: Secret Marriage Senior × Junior College Heartthrob × New Student Enemies to Lovers (Slow-Burn) Grumpy × Bold (with a twist) Culture Clash North Indian × South Indian Literature Nerds × Silent Pining ______ Hashtags #SecretMarriage #ArrangedMarriage #CollegeRomance #EnemiesToLovers #SlowBurn #WattpadIndia #DesiLoveStory #GrumpyxBold #SeniorJunior #IndianRomance #NorthXSouth Highest Ranking: #66 in #WattpadIndia #58 in #WattpadIndia #53 in #wattpadindia #51 in #wattpadindia #7 in #wattpadlovestory #141 in #collegeromance #7 in #wattpadlovestory #5 in #wattpadlovestory #2 in #cultureclash #2 in #poeticlove

Agra has always told love stories carved in marble.But this one written in blood,secrets and power. Zara chaudhary, was never meant to be a bride- not his , not anyone's. A law student with a hidden empire and a brain sharper than any weapon, she knew how to win without lifting a finger. Arav Singh Rathore, was a man shaped by legacy, trained in control, and crowned in shadows. From boardrooms to backrooms of politics, he ruled it all - except the girl who never looked twice at him. So he did what only a man like arav could do He arranged her marriage But Zara isn't a girl who bows. She's a girl who builds kingdom in silence and sets fire to cages. In a game where power is love and love is war , can obsession be ever devotion? Or will THE VOW SHE NEVER TOOK become the throne she was always meant to claim.?
