What if instead of locking Khushi in Sheesh mahal, Arnav gives her a chance to prove herself?

In this world, their beauty isn't just an aesthetic; it's a dangerous currency. If men would go to war for them in the past, their presence at a wedding for a forced alliance is like throwing a match into a powder keg.

It was a place where the weak were devoured, and the strong ruled. Disclaimer "This fan fiction, inspired by Howlsairy's North: How Much Is Your Love? and other works, focuses on Johan North. While Johan North originates from Howlsairy's original story.

8 years old Aarya was raised in silence, in fear, and in chains. She never knew a life beyond bruises and rules - where food was a privilege, smiles were sins, and love was just a myth. For eight years, she lived under the iron hand of her mother and her cruel boyfriend, taught to be invisible and obedient or be punished. She didn't know family, joy, or even her own worth. Until one day, everything changed. When her abusers were arrested in a drug bust, Aarya thought she was finally free. But freedom was a lie. Because this time she is captured by a monster even more dangerous, a ghost from the underworld, long thought dead. Where she learns a truth more unbelievable than fiction: she is not alone. She is the daughter of Satyaveer Malhotra - one of the most feared mafia dons in the country - and sister to three ruthless crime lords. Thrown from hell into a den of lions, Aarya finds herself in a world she cannot understand - a world of power, guns, secrets, and brothers who speak in bullets and silence. Cold, broken, and dangerous - they don't know how to love. And neither does she. But blood remembers. And somewhere beneath the scars, loyalty, and violence... a family begins to rise..........

North has been in love with Johan for two years. Ever since he laid eyes on him. But Johan is too out of his reach for him to even consider a relationship with him. Or is he wrong?....

Secret but happy life of Johan and North's family M-preg

In the war-torn country of Verelia, an elite military team led by the unshakable North, sharp-minded Ter, warmhearted Phoon, stoic Dao, and their no-nonsense comrade Duenao (Nao) risk their lives daily on the frontlines - defending civilians, stabilizing villages, and building hope out of chaos. Enter the Seven Geniuses: Johan, Hill, Arthit, and Tonfah - brilliant young doctors from the prestigious Thanavong family - along with their equally gifted (and equally pampered) friends-slash-nurses Frank, James, and Tiger. For years, life was a game of skill and luxury for them - until one too many scandals pushed their influential grandfather to ship them off to Valeria as part of a medical outreach punishment... or "reality check," as he called it. Thrown into a battlefield where jokes don't save lives and fancy credentials mean little without compassion, the geniuses clash with the elite team immediately. Cue flying sarcasm, mismatched egos, and a lot of confused villagers. But amid blood, dust, and unexpected dance battles with local children, both teams slowly begin to change. The elites teach the geniuses how to serve with soul; the geniuses remind the elites what life beyond duty looks like. In the middle of war, a chaotic partnership forms - one forged in hardship, laughter, and a whole lot of growing up.

North, Ter, Phoon, and Dao are four boys stitched together by shared pain-broken homes, emotional scars, and the quiet understanding that no one was coming to save them. Fresh out of high school and desperate for freedom, they run south, chasing distance from their pasts and a paycheck big enough to buy them a future. Their refuge? A luxurious golf-and-beach resort where survival comes in the form of tips, overtime, and biting sarcasm. Enter the Dragon Heirs. Johan, Hill, Arthit, and Tonfah-infamous, obscenely rich, and untouchable. The heirs to the country's most powerful empire are worshipped and feared in equal measure. Resort staff whisper about them like urban legends: rude, ruthless, and dangerously cruel. Everyone avoids them. Everyone-except four broke, traumatized boys who desperately need tuition money. Unlike the rest, North and his friends couldn't care less about family empires or terrifying reputations. To them, the Dragon Heirs aren't monsters-they're walking ATMs. Whether it's enduring verbal abuse as caddies, driving them around like unpaid therapists, serving drinks while being flirted with and insulted in the same breath, or simply standing there looking pretty enough to earn a tip, they take it all with a forced smile and a sharp tongue. Fear doesn't pay for college-but sarcasm might. When a runaway, problematic gang collides with four spoiled, power-drunk young masters, chaos is inevitable. Insults turn into banter. Power plays turn into lingering looks. Somewhere between arguments, accidental confessions, and very inappropriate tension, something dangerous starts to bloom. Is it just chaos? Or is it romance-loud, messy, ridiculous romance-threatening to ruin all of them in the best way possible?

Johan was the heartthrob of the university. A fourth-year medical student, he was the charm of the basketball court, the heartbeat of the campus grounds, and a notorious stealer of hearts. North had a one-sided crush on Johan, and he knew he couldn't bottle up his feelings any longer. He found a way to confess without actually saying the words directly.

Ter and Hill's story but essentially my version. Based more on series than books and then i have added my scenarios. Again, it is part of my universe.
