Will two monsters find solace in each other's arms or will they kill each other? ---------------------------- "I don't recall signing up for strip poker." She replied. Her full lips frowned softly but her eyes were filled with amusement. She knew she couldn't beat me, not at this game. "Are you quitting? Are you a quitter?" I mocked getting under her skin. Her lips twitched before she pursed them tightly. The blues of her eyes deepened and she threw me a dangerous smirk. She shuffled and pulled off one of her sandals. Fuck. So we're doing this the long way. She raised it in the air, dangling it off her finger before tossing it aside. She raised a brow at me, she challenged me. I knew I got under her skin. Just as I had anticipated. -------------------------- BE AWARE: Trigger warnings: MATURE CONTENT 18+ (SMUT) SWEARING VIOLENCE/GUN VIOLENCE SELF HARM/SUICIDE (REFERENCES) EXPLICIT LANGUAGE REFERENCES TO RAPE SMOKING/ALCOHOL/DRUGS BLOOD/DEATH/GORE ©️ All rights reserved ™️ The Walnut Tree BOOK ONE OF THE MAFIA SERIES

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

Manan: A Love Story - The Beginning The pandit raised his hands and declared with a gentle smile, "Marriage is now complete. You both are husband and wife." In that moment, the world seemed to pause. Manik and Nandini exchanged a quiet, yet intense glance. Their eyes locked, a mix of emotions flashing through them - love, uncertainty, hope. They didn't know what the future held, but one thing was certain: this marriage, though unexpected, would change their lives in ways they couldn't yet comprehend. Would it lead them to paradise or bring them face to face with struggles they hadn't anticipated? Only time would tell. Manik Malhotra: A man of few words and even fewer smiles, Manik Malhotra was a force to be reckoned with. As the CEO of Malhotra Enterprises, he was known for his sharp mind, ruthless business strategies, and an attitude that screamed arrogance. His towering height, chiselled features, and steely gaze made him the object of envy for many. Yet, beneath the exterior of the cold and detached businessman, there was a man who loved his family more than anything in the world. Nandini Murthy: Nandini, a doctor by profession, was everything Manik wasn't - gentle, kind, and full of warmth. She was beautiful in her own understated way, with a heart as pure as her intentions. Her intelligence was matched only by her compassion for others, and her caring nature made her beloved by everyone she encountered. Whether it was a patient, a colleague, or a stranger, Nandini's kindness knew no bounds. A New Journey Begins This is the beginning of Manik and Nandini's story. A story of two seemingly different souls brought together by fate, on a path neither of them ever imagined. I, Flora Raj, officially invite you to witness their journey, to be a part of their love story, and to bless them with your well wishes. Come, and be a part of their new beginning.

Arranged marriage was an age-old story that Khushi, the youngest of the infamous Gupta family, who revolutionized and dominated the trading market for generations, knew well. For it was the only thing she heard growing up. But that neither prepared her nor comforted her as she got ready that morning. It was an important day, a day where she would trade her surname for a new one, her silence for a new chance, her respect for a new hope, her life for another. It was a day of contracts, both new and old. As she hid behind the traditional red shawl, knowing that the whole world would be watching her, waiting to pounce, she wondered why her mother never told her about any of the good marriages. The ones that worked out. The ones that had hope. The ones that had love. Probably because they don't exist, Khushi thought to herself. Only, destiny had believed otherwise. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a stand alone story that has no connection with the original show, Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon, except for the names of the lead characters.
