Mira Anand was supposed to work for the Indian cricket team. Not become the distraction inside it. At twenty-four, the SRCC and IIM graduate enters the world of Indian cricket as the youngest analyst in the BCCI's performance strategy unit-armed with data models, sharp instincts, and absolutely no interest in fame, cricketers, or complicated emotions. Then she meets them. Shubman Gill-Indian cricket's polished golden boy, effortless charm, and the kind of man people already expect her to fall for. And Abhishek Sharma- reckless, intense, impossible to ignore. The opener who starts looking for her in team meetings. In hotel lobbies. In every stadium crowd. What begins with casual conversations and lingering glances slowly turns into late-night calls, secret moments between tours, viral photographs, media speculation, and a relationship neither of them is ready to name. Because falling for India's most watched cricketer was never part of Mira's plan. Especially not when the entire country is waiting to figure them out first

The name of the town should've been her first hint. 'Mystic Falls' It was like she was asking for trouble. TVD S1-4 (OC ~ MJ Ruiz): Kol x OC Some mature content; it will be labelled appropriately :)

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 ' 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐬 & 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬' 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 In a world that screams, I stand in despair, My voice drowned out, lost in the air. Chains of tradition tighten each day, I long to escape, but I'm forced to stay. Each breath I take feels heavy and torn, Every mistake a scar I've worn. I crave a sky where I can be free, Away from the walls that imprison me. For now, I sit with my heart in pain, Silent, yet screaming, again and again. Though shattered, a spark in me still survives, Dreaming of freedom where my soul can rise.

Two years ago, in a stadium roaring with chants and flashing lights, 𝗞𝗮𝘃𝘆𝗮 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶 stood up... and booed 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝘁 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗮 after a disastrous spell. Her best friend captured the moment. Posted it on Twitter with a savage caption. It went viral overnight. Memes. Trolls. Edits. The world laughed. But Harshit remembered her face. Now, fate has a twisted sense of humor. Fresh out of college, Kavya lands a job in the PR department of Harshit's IPL team - determined to build a career and bury the most embarrassing moment of her life. She convinces herself he won't remember. At first, he doesn't. Until one heated argument. One accidental slip. And suddenly, the past crashes into the present. "𝘊𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘢𝘯?" he smirks. The teasing starts. Public digs. Private jokes. Relentless banter. But somewhere between sarcastic comments and stolen late-night conversations, the lines begin to blur. The cricket star and his former troll find comfort in each other. Soft confessions replace sharp words. And what started as revenge begins to feel dangerously real. There's just one problem. She isn't only the girl who booed him. She's also his best friend's ex. A truth she's desperately hiding. Because in a world of flashing cameras and fragile reputations, some secrets don't just break hearts - they end careers. And this time, going viral might cost her everything.

An arranged marriage was never part of their plan. Nitish Kumar Reddy lives a fast-paced life filled with cricket, pressure, expectations, and constant public attention. Quiet, reserved, and emotionally guarded, he has no interest in love beyond responsibility. Sameera Reddy is independent, warm, and used to a completely different world of cameras, films, and media scrutiny. Marriage was supposed to be simple for her - not something that would change her entire life. But when their families arrange a match between them, two strangers are suddenly pushed into the same world. What starts with awkward conversations, careful smiles, and uncomfortable silences slowly turns into something softer... something real. Between chaotic family dinners, Telugu traditions, cricket tours, media attention, emotional misunderstandings, balcony conversations, festivals, laughter, and quiet late-night talks, Nitish and Sameera begin building a love story neither of them expected. Not loud. Not perfect. Just honest. A slow-burn arranged marriage romance about finding comfort in the most unexpected person... and turning a house into a home.
