"Mr. Raichand..." she whispered, her voice trembling. "Aditya..." he murmured, eyes burning into hers. "Say it." He pulls her close in a spin, her hair whips against his jaw, making him smirk as he tightens his hold on her waist. His palm slides slowly from the curve of her back to the side of her thigh as he guides her movements, making her shiver but forcing herself to stay composed. She swallowed, lifting her chin, meeting his gaze. Something shifted. They were no longer husband and wife bound by arrangement, but two souls locked in a storm. "Aditya.." Aaradhya whispered, her voice seductive. Aditya inhaled a sharp breath his hold tightning on her. Their steps grew sharper. Her leg hooked around his thigh in a daring cross, her slit revealing flashes of skin that made his jaw clench. His hand gripped her back, dangerously low, daring her to protest. Every turn, every press, every snap of their heels told a story anger, desire, unspoken hunger. The music built to its peak. Aditya spun Aaradhya one last time, then caught her in a deep, breathtaking dip. Her hair brushed the marble floor, her lips inches from his. The crowd erupted in applause, but they didn't hear it. Aditya pulled her upright, holding her tight, chest to chest. His lips hovered by her ear. "Mrs. Aditya Raichand," he whispered. "An arranged marriage. Two broken souls. One uncertain future." 👨‍⚖️Aditya Raichand - Once the heart of every room, a boy full of life, laughter, and love. Now? Cold. Distant. Ruthless. A man who buries kindness beneath layers of silence. He trusts no one-not even himself. 👩‍⚕️Aaradhya Malhotra - Once a lively, fearless dreamer who spoke her heart out. Now? Quiet. Guarded. Broken. Her smiles are rare, her past a wound she never talks about. Forced into an arranged marriage by their families, their worlds collide.🤵‍👰‍ They don't believe in love. They don't believe in healing. And they definitely don't believe in each other.

ARCADIA is called in, forcing two rivals to work side by side: 𝐀𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐡𝐢 𝐃𝐮𝐭𝐭 - cold, brilliant, and hiding a trauma she refuses to touch. 𝐃𝐞𝐯 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞 - sharp, infuriating, and far too protective of the one woman who swears she doesn't need him. He calls her love just to watch her break. She calls him Dev because anything more would be dangerous. But as they dig deeper, a disturbing truth starts to surface: these abductions aren't random. They're deliberate. Structured. Driven by a twisted interpretation of 𝐊𝐚̄𝐦𝐚 - the sin of desire. And when the pattern tightens around Aarohi, Dev feels the shift instantly-the air changing, the hunt turning personal.

1985. The City of dreams. Red double decker buses, kaali-peeli taxis, radios, Doordarshan, video cassettes and rotary dial phones. DCP Amarnath arrives in Bombay with a mission, straight and clear: To tackle the notorious Crime Syndicates. As the city unravels itself, he learns that alongside the battle against organised crime, it is a full-fledged war against his uncooperative heart as it trips over relentlessly at the sight of the headstrong Gauri, who contrasts him in every possible way, beginning with her profession: Law. Before cellphones, before swipes-there was a Bombay kind of love.... Visit the BLURB chapter for a detailed trailer!

From the discarded bride to the matriarch of the dynasty. Left humiliated at the altar when her fiancé chose her younger sister, she refused to shed a single tear. Instead, she executed the ultimate retaliation: she walked away, returned moments later, and traded the faithless groom for a much more dangerous one-his powerful, enigmatic uncle. With a single stroke of a pen, she transformed herself from the family's laughingstock into their ultimate superior. Now, the man who shattered her heart has no choice but to call her Aunt. But a union forged in spite has its own rules. Beneath the cold, calculated contract lies an intimidating man hiding scars of his own, and a woman who swore never to give her heart away again. As hidden truths come to light and the boundaries between vengeance and genuine passion begin to blur, they might discover that the wrong path led them straight to where they were always meant to be. Some vendettas burn cold. Others ignite.

#1 in STRONG FEMALE LEAD 27July 2026 #1 in WATTPADINDIA 27 July 2026 #1 in TEACHER 09 Aug 2026 Kaavya Sharma's world revolves around two things - her library, where she tirelessly prepares to become a government officer, and her school, where she teaches Mathematics. At 29, she has no room for distractions, arrogant people, or relationships that lack depth. Her dreams come first. And if love ever finds her, it has to be soft, emotionally mature, and real. Otherwise, she would rather stay single and build the life she has always imagined. Devaansh Singhania is the complete opposite of everything Kaavya believes in. A 30-year-old billionaire and ruthless business shark, Devaansh has built an empire out of ambition, manipulation, and betrayal. He owns luxury hotels across cities, yet has no place to truly call home. His nights are spent in expensive suites, surrounded by temporary company and empty silence. Devaansh just came to India for a grand luxury hotel project. And in six months, he plans to leave India forever - making emotional attachments the last thing he wants. For him, love is nothing but a distraction, and relationships are temporary pleasures with no emotional strings attached and marriage are nothing but business alliances between families. Until one woman dares to challenge him publicly. Kaavya Sharma is not intimidated by his power, money, or cold arrogance - and that is exactly what pulls her toward Devaansh. What starts with heated arguments, ego clashes, and intense hatred slowly turns into dangerous attraction, emotional obsession, and a connection neither of them can escape. But can two people with completely opposite beliefs about love survive each other? Or will their fears, past wounds, and pride destroy whatever is growing between them? He comes from a world of power, money, and emotionless alliances. She comes from a world where love still means sincerity. Can two such different worlds ever coexist? A steamy and mature slow-burn romance.

She is wild, bold and untamed. She goes by rules. You defy the rules and she would have the better of you. You can call her anything but dare not call her the 'RAKSHASI'. She is 'Kalika'. Her name is supposed to mean a 'beautiful flower' but she is nicknamed 'Kaali' owing to her ferocious demeanor. You show her a finger she would shoot a fist at you.... You prod her gently and she would rattle you till the last bone... She leads a disciplined life. She cannot tolerate even a speck of dust around her. A paradox of purity and fury.... she is both goddess and demon - and your fate depends on which side you awaken. Walk straight, and she might let you live... Stray once, and she will break you.... Beneath the mask of impeccable strength lies a girl scarred by trauma, haunted by insecurities, and carrying a quiet vulnerability she dares not reveal. Kaali needs her Bhairava - a force strong enough to balance the wild feminine storm within her. She needs her Yang to ground the chaos of her Yin. But does such a man exist - one daring enough to bell the goddess in disguise?

"I will never let you control me, you only want money. I'll give you as much as you want but just don't show your face to me." he said looking at me without any emotions. I looked at him confusingly and was about to say when he stopped me saying "I will give you divorce after next month. This will be a gift from me to you Sachi Kashyap for our 6th month anniversary." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a way you fixed me but somehow you also broke me. I wish I could hurt you the way you hurt me. But I know that if I had the chance, I wouldn't do it. May be she needed someone to show her how to bloom and he needed someone to show him how to love A good loyal woman is one of the greatest thing a man can have in his life. But it takes a Man to realise that. All she wanted was for his name to be written in her destiny. A journey which is destined to converge them but he doesn't even know. What's meant to be will always find a way. Will he understand her feeling? Will he ever fall in love with her? Will she ever tell about her crush to him? Let's see...

Warning.. there would be graphic description of violence. Viraj and Anahita's story. There would be action, some graphic violence, mentions of abuse and explicit content. It is a love story, with action and violence. There might be some triggering content. Note..if you don't like slow building skip towards chapter 19. Also every chapter marked with pink heart would be from the female lead's pov. And the chapters marked with red might have some triggering content, depending on the reader.

Ashes Under Vermillion Some love stories don't burn bright. They smolder... quietly... until everything turns to ash. Ira Sen, a fearless investigative journalist, is forced into a marriage with Ahaan Malhotra-the heir of a powerful business empire built on secrets. What begins as a reluctant union slowly transforms into something deeper, as Ira finds herself drawn to the man behind the arrogance. But just when trust begins to bloom, truth intervenes. While uncovering a decades-old conspiracy tied to Ahaan's father, Ira chooses silence to protect the man she loves-only to be met with betrayal. In a moment of rage and blind faith in his family, Ahaan shatters everything between them, leaving Ira to walk away... carrying more than just heartbreak. Years later, fate forces them to stand face to face again-no longer as lovers, but as strangers bound by a past that refuses to stay buried. Ira has rebuilt her life, her strength, and her identity, while Ahaan has risen from the ruins of his fallen empire, now a man shaped by regret. But when the truth finally surfaces-and with it, a child that connects them in ways words cannot undo-their worlds collide once more. This is not a story of easy forgiveness. Not a tale where love alone is enough. It is a story about: Trust that was never honored Love that came too late And the unbearable weight of realization Because sometimes... you don't lose someone when they leave. You lose them- when you fail to stand beside them when it mattered most.
