Dark Romance | Mature themes | 18+ There was a time when Rudransh Singh Thakur believed in love. A time when power wasn't everything. When silence didn't define him. But that was before betrayal. It made him ruthless now. Now, at thirty-four, Rudransh stood as a man the world feared a minister, whose silence carried more weight than words ever could. Nothing touched him anymore. Nothing except one. His son. Aryaman Singh Thakur Five years old. A child who had learned early that people leave... and promises don't stay. If Rudransh had built walls, Aryaman had learned to live within them. And then, she entered. Not with power. Not with demand. But with silence that matched theirs. Ishani Sharma A woman who had known pain in ways she never spoke of. Who carried her past like a shadow she couldn't outrun. Who held her child as if that alone was reason enough to survive. She didn't belong in his world. And yet, she became a part of it. A marriage not built on love, but on necessity. On power. On a name she never asked to carry. He didn't want her. His son wouldn't accept her. But she stayed. Not loudly. Not forcefully. Just... there. And in the middle of it all... there was Arohi, breathing life into the silence. A child too young to understand pain, yet the only one who carried light into a life built on shadows. And in a house where silence ruled, where love had once been broken and buried. something began to shift. Not all at once. Not enough to be called love. But enough... to change everything. Because behind power, behind silence, behind every unspoken truth lies a story hidden beneath the VEIL OF THRONE (A/n : This book is for mature audiences, contains explicit content.

The Weight of a Promise One dying wish. One broken girl. One man of steel. Maya Ansari was once the girl who laughed too loud and dreamed too big. But that was before the "incident." Before her cousin Hamza turned her world into a living nightmare of control and fear. Now, to fulfill her father's final wish, she has tied herself to a man she has never met-a man who is as cold as he is powerful. Zavian Khan is a man of precision. A brilliant surgeon and the head of a formidable empire, he doesn't have time for a "contract bride." But he gave his father a vow: protect the Ansari girl. He expected a duty; he didn't expect a woman who flinches at every shadow but carries the intelligence of a queen. Maya expects a cage. Instead, Zavian hands her the keys to her future as a Company Secretary, vowing to be the shield she never had. But shadows don't stay in the past. When Hamza returns, lurking in the corridors of their new life, the lines between duty and desire begin to blur. Zavian has overheard the truth: Maya only married him for her father. But as the threats escalate, he doesn't care about the reason for their "Qubool Hai"-he only cares about the man who thinks he can take what belongs to a Khan. Read their full story and I am sure you will like it

MAID X CEO LOVE STORY Rudhran is 28, and he's the definition of power and authority. Known across Canada as a sharp and strategic businessman, his name alone can send shivers down anyone's spine. He's the kind of man who gets what he wants, no questions asked, and he's never been in a relationship or had a one-night stand. After his grandfather's passing, Rudhran moved to Canada from Chennai, to run the family business, but life had other plans. He never thought a trip to Chennai, India would change everything - until he met her. Aaradhya is 22 and the complete opposite of Rudhran - sweet, shy, and soft-spoken. Life threw her a curveball, leading her to work as a maid, at the luxurious Eswaran Mansion. She's been there for two years now, just quietly doing her job without complaints and holding onto her belief in fate and God. When Rudhran steps back into the mansion, his eyes catch Aaradhya's, and something shifts inside him. There's just something about her innocence and quiet strength that grabs his attention. For the first time, he finds himself drawn to someone, wanting her in a way he can't explain. Aaradhya feels the pull, too, but she's not sure why. Rudhran is powerful and intimidating, and the way he looks at her makes her heart race and her mind spin. But he's more than just imposing - there's something protective and possessive about him that leaves her both nervous and intrigued.

I know some of you might feel this story has a bit of that old-school vibe, like a serial or an old movie. But honestly, I love writing in this style-it's my thing! So, if you're into drama, romance, and heartfelt emotions, give it a shot! I promise it's worth it. Let me know what you think-I'd love to hear your thoughts!(no heartbreak, love triangle and separation)

"Z-Zayd p-please, n-nahi." That's all she could manage to say. "Main janta hoon aap darr rahi hain," he said, his voice breaking just a little, "Aur main is darr ki wajah banna nahi chahta. Lekin main kab se iss raat ka intezaar kar raha tha,jab aap meri ho jayengi." When his face came dangerously close, Noor panicked. Her hands quickly rose to his chest, trying to push him back. "Z-Zayd, P-please chodhiye hume, a-aisa mat kijiye" she pleaded, turning her face away,voice low. But Zayd was too far gone. His hand moved to her cheek, gently turning her face back toward him. His thumb brushed her jawline, tender but possessive. "Noor," he murmured, his lips brushing close to hers now, "Bas ek baar," Before she could form another word, before her breath could catch, his mouth was on hers, forceful and demanding. Noor froze. Her fists pushed weakly at his chest. She tried pushing, clawing, muffled screaming, trying to fight him off, but he didn't budge.Tears spilled freely down her cheeks, trailing over their locked lips. Soft, broken sobs shook through her.But he didn't stop. He felt the salt of her tears between their mouths,yet it only made his kiss fiercer, more desperate. Like something inside him snapped.Her pain, her trembling,he felt it all. Still, he couldn't let go.He had waited too long, yearned too deep. Finally, after eternity, He pulled back just enough to see her face. Tears. So many of them. Streaming freely, glistening against the dim light. Her eyes were squeezed shut, her lips red and swollen, trembling,not from desire but fear. He cupped her face as she lay there, not moving an inch. "Noor meri baat suniye, Miyan biwi ke darmiyaan ye sab normal hota hai, izhar e mohabbat ka ek tareeka," "P-Please, H-Hume darr l-lag raha h-hai, C-Chodh dijiye"
