TIDES OF SERIES #1 (Can also be read as standalone) ✯TIDES OF BELONGING ~ A Highschool Love Story✯ "Sometimes, home isn't a place-it's a person who makes you feel seen." To those who believe in love that arrives softly yet stays forever. ──────•❥─────── ✯VIHAAN PATHAK - the golden boy senior✯ Vihaan was the kind of boy who could make anyone smile-confident, charming, the kind who flirted just to make others feel good. But behind that easy smile was a boy who never truly let anyone in. A born leader, the heartbeat of every crowd, yet lonely when the noise faded. He believed attachments were distractions... until she came along. The quiet girl who preferred shadows over spotlights, books over parties, peace over chaos. The one person who never tried to impress him-just looked right through him. And somehow, that's what made him fall. Harder than he ever thought he could. "Main chahta toh sabse door reh sakta tha... par tumse chah ke bhi nahi." ──────🧸────── ✯ANVI KASHYAP - the quiet storm junior✯ Anvi was not loud-she was midnight rain. Calm. Composed. Beautiful in her silence. To people, she seemed reserved, almost distant. But once you truly knew her, she could talk endlessly, with laughter that warmed even the coldest hearts. A topper, a thinker, a girl who fought for her respect and stood tall for those she loved. She didn't believe in fairytales. She believed in effort, in respect, in understanding. And yet, when she met him, her carefully built walls began to tremble. He was sunlight-steady, blinding, and too warm to resist. She was the storm that taught him how to feel the rain. "Tumhare saath waqt rukta nahi... bas thehra sa lagta hai." ──────•❥────── Vihaan x Anvi - Because sometimes, belonging isn't about finding someone who understands you- It's about finding someone who chooses to stay.

Kaashvi-a daughter, a sister, a healer. Quiet and reserved, yet fierce when it mattered. She carried her family, her work, and the orphanage close to her heart. Her smile hid secrets, fears, and an unspoken longing for love. She tried to balance it all - her family, her life, her work, and the orphanage she cared for deeply. Her biggest supporter and her healer she completely relies on- her krishna To the world, everything seemed perfect. Her goals were clear: study hard, work honestly, and give her loved ones a beautiful future. But was it really as beautiful as it looked from the outside? And then-she met him. Aviraj Singh. The ruler. To the world, a ruthless businessman and a rising politician. Cold. Dangerous. Untouchable. But behind the walls, a boy who had been taught never to feel. They said he never earned anything; everything was handed to him. Some feared him. Some hated him. But no one truly knew him. He never thought anyone could see past the walls he built - until *she* did. She lived for others. He lived for control. Fate tied them in the most unholy way-at a temple, on a stormy night, in a forced marriage no one saw but them. Now bound together, will love break through their scars? Or will it destroy them both? Was it just a deal to be fulfilled, Leaving them both shattered - Forever? Can they look past the pain in each other's eyes? Can she find the love she's always dreamed of? Can he finally open up to someone - and be seen?

He is a storm she cannot outrun. She is a challenge he cannot resist. Vedant Thakur thrives on control, power, and indulgence, but Nakshatra Bhanushali is unlike anyone he's ever known. She tests his patience, ignites his pride, and awakens a darkness he refuses to tame. Every glance is a battle. Every word is a provocation. And every heartbeat pulls them closer to a dangerous edge where desire, power, and obsession collide. In a world where control is an illusion and passion is a weapon, how far will they go to claim what-or who-they want? Danger. Desire. Domination. And a game with no rules.

"I am sorry... for denying the honeymoon suddenly. And thank you... for defending me downstairs." I inhaled deeply. Stood up. Faced him. There was confidence in my posture-not arrogance, not bitterness. Just certainty. His aura still intimidated me, of course. Par uss aura ka laur-rehne deti hu. I spoke calmly. "Rakshas-" I corrected myself immediately, "-mera matlab, Ranawat Sahab... yo maine tere khatar na kiya. Apne khatar kiya se." {-I mean, Mr. Ranawat... I didn't do this for you. I did it for myself.} He folded his arms, studying me carefully. "Woh kyukar, vakeel sahiba?" he asked. {How? Advocate madam.} I met his gaze without flinching. "Ji? Ib main kise paraye mard gail honeymoon pe thodi na ja saku hun."
