previously known as "AFSAANE" "Let me get this straight," Danish's voice is sharp, his disbelief barely masked. "You want me to pretend to be in love with you?" Kiara tilts her head, the ghost of a smirk playing on her lips. "No, Malhotra. I want you to pretend you never stopped." For as long as Kiara Oberoi could remember, life had been a race she was never allowed to lose. And standing in her way at every turn? Danish Malhotra. Her biggest rival. Her greatest weakness. The boy who knew exactly how to ruin her. They spent their years locked in battle-academic rankings, debate championships, internships, and scholarships-neither willing to give the other an inch. They fought in front of the whole world. They fought when no one was watching. And somewhere in between all those fights, between the sharp words and long stares- they fell. It started with a project that forced them together. Forced them to see past the rivalry, past the competition, past the carefully built walls. Forced them to face the fact that they understood each other in ways no one else ever had. They fought for years-until one night, she gave him everything. And the next day? She destroyed him. "I could never love someone who doesn't even know his own origins." And then, she left. No warnings. No explanations. Just silence. Now, she's back. Same fire. Same hunger. Same boy she left behind-only now, he's colder, crueler, untouchable. And this time, they aren't just academic rivals. They're business enemies. And she needs him to fake date her. She isn't leaving without him this time. She says it's to win a war. He knows it's to win him back. But some fires never die- And this time, they might burn for real.

Complicated. That's the only word powerful enough to describe the legendary Rathore Royal Family of Marwar-where crowns are heavy, hearts are heavier, and love is the most dangerous battlefield of all. Three brothers. Three marriages. And a web of emotions that threatens to destroy the very empire they rule. Abhimaan Pratap Singh Rathore-the ruthless king, the cold-hearted CEO, the man who rules an empire but guards his heart behind unbreakable walls. Two years into marriage, he remains untouched by love, leaving his queen Aadiya of Mewar-the proud eldest daughter-in-law-fighting a lonely battle for a place in her husband's frozen heart. Abhimanyu Pratap Singh Rathore-the loyal second son, bound by duty and gratitude to his elder brother. Married to Naina, a woman who once believed her destiny was tied to the wrong brother. Trapped between marriage vows and forbidden feelings, Naina's heart harbors a love she was never meant to have. And then there is Rudraveer Pratap Singh Rathore-the youngest prince, reckless, protected, and unapologetically rebellious. When duty demanded a royal bride, he chose love instead-marrying Samaira, a servant's daughter, shaking the very foundation of Rathore royalty and igniting whispers, rebellion, and scandal across kingdoms. In a world where power outweighs emotions, where love is forbidden, and loyalty is tested at every turn- how long before hearts rebel against crowns? Welcome to the Rathores- where every relationship is a war, every marriage hides a secret, and love may just be the downfall of royalty itself.

Here is love, here is hate, here is pain and here is the cure. The Rajputs. Rajput is more than just a name. It has a history of more than hundreds of years. The valour, the strength and the power to survive and win the darkest and hardest battle runs in their blood. Even after hundreds of years their blood holds the same valour, the same spirit which can cut an enemy into pieces. Carrying the Rajputana blood in their veins are The Aryans. The Mafia Clan led by the Rajput brothers. The powerful mafia and the more powerful men. With the faces of the great Greek Gods they are the walking Lucifers in the daylight and an alive Satan in the deep darkness of the night. Being in the Mafia and being the part of highest royalty they are worshipped like gods by their subjects. The gods who are the only makers and destroyers of the large and fertile land of 'Khashiq' a city which is hidden by the eyes of common people of the country. Even after 75 years of independence the government is afraid to set a foot inside this deep sea of death. The air of khashiq holds the smell of dead, blood and cries of innocents and sinners. In the land of darkness entered three innocent souls, one being ambitious who had to sacrifice, the second being musical who had to stay quiet and the third being the purest but had to turn filthy. They are the wives of three elder Rajput brothers who know everything but to love. Tainting the pious relationship of a husband and wife they break their wife in such a way that now nothing can pull the three souls out of that darkness, a darkness which is darker than the world of the Aryans.

❝𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐚 & 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚❞ I should not feel anything for someone who is my enemy, someone who has caused me so much pain that the very thought of him should fill me with nothing but rage and bitterness. Yet, against all logic, I feel it-I feel the heat rising beneath my skin . The mere idea of his touch sends shivers down my spine, igniting sensations that I desperately want to ignore. This isn't right. I shouldn't crave the presence of someone I despise, but my body betrays me, responding to him in ways that my mind fiercely rejects. He stands so close that his breath fans across my face, warm and intimate, stirring emotions that I refuse to acknowledge. A slight movement is all it would take for our lips to meet, for this unbearable tension to shatter into something far more dangerous. His hands are braced on either side of my head, trapping me, yet he doesn't need to touch me to make me feel trapped. His body hovers just out of reach, yet I can sense him, every inch of him, as if the air itself is an extension of his presence. I shouldn't desire this man. I shouldn't want to close the gap, to feel the press of his body against mine. I should be repulsed, disgusted by how my thoughts betray my hatred. But my body doesn't listen to reason , it yearns for what it shouldn't, driven by instincts I can't control. I despise him-my enemy- My rival-but the line between hatred and desire is blurring, and I'm terrified of which side I might fall on. {𝖠 𝗌𝗍𝖺𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝗈𝗇𝖾 } | | Mature content 18+| |

BOOK 1 OF #HOPE SERIES Ahana, a girl who longed for nothing but love. Deprived of it by the very people meant to give it, she ventured into the world searching for the warmth she was denied, only to end up meeting with betrayal and ruin. Aastik - A mercilessly tycon by day and the darkest nightmare in someone's life by night. A man who found peace in the shadows because LOVE was a luxury he was never meant to have. Love was something they never believed in. He never searched for it, and she never trusted it. But life had its own plans... they didn't know what was written in their fate. In her eyes, he found a kind of peace he didn't know he needed. In his presence, she felt safe and seen, maybe for the first time. They weren't looking for love, yet it found them anyway. But healing isn't that easy, right? Sometimes scars run too deep to face and trauma has a way of coming back when you least expect it. Will their love be enough to hold them together or will their past tear them away?

Some love stories are written in the stars, destined to endure the tests of time. But what happens when love is replaced by betrayal? When the person who was once your home becomes the storm that shatters you? Aadvik Chauhan and Dr. Dhriti Sharma were once inseparable-two souls intertwined in a love so deep that nothing could tear them apart. Childhood sweethearts turned lovers, they had built their world together, dreaming of a future filled with love, laughter, and forever. But forever never came. Three years ago, Dhriti walked away. She left without a word, without a trace, shattering him into pieces. He searched for her, bled for her, but she was gone. And when he finally rebuilt himself, it was as a man far different from the one she had loved-a man of steel, ruthless and unforgiving. But secrets have a way of surfacing. When Dhriti returns, she isn't alone. She carries with her a truth that has the power to destroy Aadvik all over again-a two-and-a-half-year-old daughter he never knew existed. A daughter she kept from him. A daughter who should have been his world. Now, the past collides with the present, reopening old wounds and igniting a storm of rage, heartbreak, and longing. Aadvik, betrayed once again, vows not to let Dhriti shatter him this time. But Dhriti is no longer the woman who once left because she was scared-she's a mother willing to fight for her child, even if it means facing the man she still loves but once abandoned. Love, pain, revenge, and redemption-when two broken hearts clash, will they destroy each other, or will they find a way back? Some stories don't get second chances. But maybe, just maybe, theirs does. TROPES :- ~ GRRUMPY x SUNSHINE ~ SECOND CHANCE ~ SINGLE PARENT ~ TRAUMA/HEALING ~ LOVE TO HATE TO LOVE ~ SECRETS ~ CHILDHOOD SWEETHEARTS ~ FAMILY RIVALRY
