A sunshine girl. A serious man. Multiple chanced meetings that changed everything. Aurora Blaire wasn't looking for anything serious-especially not while on a girls' holiday. But fate had other plans, for both her and Lucian Thorne: a brutally composed CEO who didn't do random, had never been in a relationship, and was too focused on his businesses to find love. What started as chance run-ins turned into something they couldn't ignore. But how does a man built on control survive the kind of girl who blooms in chaos? ------------------------------------------------------------------ ""Her tipsy boldness kicked in hard, and walked for the armrest near him-planning to sit there casually. But the world tilted, and instead of gracefully settling next to him, she ended up tumbling right onto his lap. His hand shot to her waist, steadying her with surprising gentleness. "Careful, princess." he said, his voice low and smooth, just enough to make her blush harder. "Oops," she giggled, cheeks flaming. "I cant believe it's you Mr. Serious." "Still drunk, I see." And with that, Aurora's mind took off in full chatter mode."" ------------------------------------------------------------------ #1 TEENFICTION #1 SWEET #1 GRUMPY #1 CUTE #1 FUNNY #1 GRUMPYXSUNSHINE #1 RICHGUY

It's a kingdom of wealth, secrets, and danger dressed in Gucci. Ishaani Verma, a soft-spoken scholarship student with a shark plush and a spine of unexpected silly steel, enters a world that smells like expensive perfume, bloodlines, and threats wrapped in luxury and where students wear Rolexes to PE and insults are served with Dom Pérignon. She's quiet. Middle-class. Smart. A scholarship girl with a painfully soft and innocent heart. Dev Oberoi is the inked, unhinged heir to a billion-dollar empire. Rich, rude, ruthless. With a self-declared girlfriend, two bodyguards who double as best friends, and a habit of breaking rules, he's known for destroying people with a smirk. But the moment he sees Ishaani feeding crumbs to a shark in the sunlight... something breaks. In him. He doesn't understand her. He doesn't want to. But he wants her. Desperately. Obsessively. Brutally. Softly. "You think I'm a bully?" "You are a bully." "Good. Because for you, I might become worse." From forced proximity and cafeteria wars, to secret lounges, stolen glances, and heated threats whispered against lockers-Dev becomes the devil she can't escape. And Ishaani becomes the softness he never wanted to need. But there's a reason girls like her don't belong in castles. And the prince? He bites. A high-end school where the golden stairs lead straight to hell, and love might mean ruin. Or worse, obsession. Vote.Comment.Follow.♥️
