One night of savage passion. One silence that destroyed everything. Khushi Kumari Gupta came to Delhi with only one goal: to confront the ruthless billionaire Arnav Singh Raizada and make him pay. Instead, she found herself lost in a night of raw, explosive desire that shattered every wall between hatred and need. At dawn, he was gone. And so was she. Years later, the man the world once feared has become something far darker - colder, more dangerous, and completely untouchable. When fate forces their paths to cross again, Khushi looks him straight in the eyes... and pretends he is a stranger. Arnav knows she's lying. The silence from that night still hangs between them - thick with secrets, lies, and questions no one has dared to answer. What really happened after that night? Why did she disappear? And how far will he go to drag the truth into the light? Some nights don't fade with sunrise. Some nights wait in the dark... hungry, angry, and ready to devour everything. A dark, obsessive short Story romance packed with possessiveness, buried secrets, and a love so vicious it refuses to stay dead. The night is calling. Dare you step inside? ❤️

The story of a naive Khushi and a kind hearted Arnav together at the wrong place at the wrong time.

World weary and cynical, Arnav Singh Raizada falls for a slip of a girl his sister challenges him to seduce. It's a different matter altogether that when he breaks her heart, he breaks his own and years later, she seems to have moved on while he is still a fool who has loved her for far too long... ................................................................. "You need me to call you bhaiya?" She taunts. "I don't know a man who likes hearing "Bhaiya" from random females." "You would be correct," He agrees grudgingly. "And Arnav Ji is too old fashioned and Bollywood for me. It's not as if I am gonna see you after this wedding wraps up. I have no plans of subjecting myself to pointless human interactions and connections with Payal's in laws and her family." She fidgets a little, extending first one leg and then the other to rest it against the floor. Her skirt rides up a little while she is making herself comfortable and he is treated to the sight of her pale, delicate ankles. "Ouch! And here I thought we might be bonding over your juvenile antics and a love story I can't wait to hear." His eyes are still on her ankles and he feels like a perv as he continues staring. She has painted her toes black. Arnav needs to look away if he doesn't want to sport half a boner because a barely adult chit flashed him her ankles.

An arshi story starting from events leading to Arnav-Lavanya's cancelled Engagement. The engagement was supposed to change everything....It did. Just not the way anyone expected. Arnav Singh Raizada doesn't believe in love, emotions, or anything he can't control. But the day his engagement ends... something shifts. And somehow, Khushi Kumari Gupta becomes the one thing he can't ignore. What starts as irritation turns into something far more dangerous- jealousy, obsession... and a truth he refuses to accept. Because this time, it's not business. It's personal.

Title: Beyond the Veil of Deceit Tagline: One fall. One rescue. A thousand consequences. When a catastrophic accident at a high-profile fashion show in Lucknow leaves Khushi Kumari Gupta's reputation in tatters, the one who saves her is ASR's brother, Akash. But the ripples of that moment reach the very heart of the Raizada empire. Driven by guilt and a grandmother's unwavering sense of honor, Arnav is forced into a marriage with a woman he deems beneath him. To him, Khushi is a small-town girl who doesn't belong in his world of cold steel and high finance. To Khushi, Arnav is a man with a heart of stone, whose indifference is only outmatched by the predatory shadows of his "perfect" brother-in-law, Shyam. But the Raizada household has a secret weapon. Seeing Khushi's silent suffering and the suspicious gaze of her own husband, Anjali awakens. As she takes charge of Khushi's transformation from a broken bride to an independent woman, the stage is set for a reckoning. In a house built on secrets and a marriage fueled by a slow-burning fire, will Arnav realize the worth of the woman he wed? Or will the shadows of the past destroy the Raizadas once and for all?

He thought he had it all planned perfectly but now he was about to find out he had never been the writer of his own destiny and the destiny he had tried to carve for himself was nothing but a illusion. Join me on this new story as Arnav tries to fight for Khushi's love and on his way he realises the people he knew had their own secrets as the wolves in sheeps clothing are exposed.

Based on the sheetal track. Some minor changes in Khushi's past which you'll discover gradually. Ps. I am not a good writer just rambling whatever comes to my mind. Might get too corny and lame. Sorry in advance 🙏

This is an arshi fanfic but not by me. It is the first one I read long ago. The original writer of this beautiful fiction is Jalebi Jane and her website is or used to be Maya Hill. I can't access her blog anymore. The story is only available on Indian Forums which I'm finding inconvenient to read. I'm creating a wattapad version of it so that I can easily read and enjoy this story all over again.
