"I was sold in the name of duty," she whispered. "Every time, they called it love." He clenched his fists. "Who taught you that pain is the price of belonging?" "Life," she laughed bitterly. "And people I trusted." Her voice broke. "I learned to survive without dreaming." He stepped closer. "And I will teach you how to live again." She looked away. "What if I'm already ruined?" "Then I'll love every broken piece," he said softly. Tears fell. "I'm tired of being strong." "Then rest," he murmured. "I'll carry you now." For the first time, darkness felt afraid of hope.

Ailing's life took a dramatic turn the day his family arranged for him to marry the President of the Zhou Group. With a heart full of rebellion, he turned them down, choosing instead to run away with his childhood friend. It was a choice that would haunt him forever. As the years slipped by, the man he once adored revealed a darker side-controlling, abusive, and suffocating his spirit. Ailing found himself a prisoner in a gilded cage until a harsh diagnosis shattered his world. Stricken with a debilitating illness, he tried to return home, only to be turned away at the door. In the end, Ailing breathed his last in a sterile hospital room, utterly alone, with no one to hold his hand or share his final moments. But then, fate offered him a second chance. .... Rebirth With a jolt, Ailing found himself in his father's office, a wave of realization flooding over him. He dropped to the floor, utterly determined to reverse the worst decision of his life. This time, he would marry President Zhou. ... MC: "If I agree to marry you, do you promise to honour our marriage vows?" ML: "What do you mean?" MC: "That is... even if I get sick, you must not abandon me." ML: "Are you sick? Do you need me to take you to the hospital?" MC: "No, I shouldn't be... but and this is just a hypothetical, but if I did get sick with some incurable or debilitating disease, would you honour your vow to love and support me through sickness and health?" ML: "That depends. Will you honour the other parts for me?" MC: "The other parts?" ML: "To have and to hold, for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and health, to love and to cherish, till death we do part." MC: "I would!" ML: "Then it's settled. Let's get married," ML said as he grabbed MC and pulled him towards the luxurious black car. Before ML could think, they had reached the Civil Affairs office to register for the bright red marriage certificate ....

Reyansh was made of softness. small, shy and impossibly sweet . he cries during sad commercials and thinks hug can heal the world Plump pink lips, puffy cheeks, skin that turned rosy if someone even looked too long. He smiled at strangers. Hugged flowers. Apologized to ants. But then Abhimaan singh rathor walked into his life. Cold. Rich. Powerful. A mafia heir with blood on his hands and obsession in his bones. He didn't believe in love. He believed in possession. Now Reyansh lives in a glass penthouse. His flower shop is gone. His freedom, bought. And Abhimaan watches his every move - like a god admiring his favorite creation. > "You were too soft for this world, sweetheart," he whispers. "So I stole you from it." This isn't a love story. This is a velvet trap made of obsession, kisses, and gold handcuffs. Soft boy. Hard man. Deadly love. He smiled at the wrong stranger... Now he belongs to him.

Ever since she was a child, Melody has dreamed of following in her famous mother's footsteps and becoming a singer. But there's one problem-her voice. Convinced she doesn't have what it takes, Melody starts to lose faith in her dream. Everything changes when she crosses paths with people from a completely different world than her own. Through new friendships, raw talent, and a fresh take on music, Melody begins to discover that maybe her voice isn't the problem-it's how she's been taught to hear it. A/N: I've been inspired by a Tumblr post from years ago. If there's similarities with other stories, that's may be why.

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?
