Read at your own risk (18+). --- Set in 1960s Bengal, Gunjan Saha, a girl whose eyes still hold the innocence of monsoon skies, yet whose heart knows only fear and silence. After her mother's death, she endures her stepmother's cruelty, dreaming only of kindness, freedom, and being seen as someone worthy of love. Riddhiman Roy Chowdhury, the son of the village sarpanch, returns from London as a gold-medalist barrister determined to reform his village. But destiny has another plan... one that ties his fate to a fragile, innocent girl. One night, Gunjan runs barefoot through the lanes, escaping the men her stepmother sold her to, and destiny leads her to him... the man who would rewrite her story. When whispers taint her name for taking refuge in his house, Riddhiman does the unthinkable... he marries her. Before the same eyes that condemned her, he takes her hand and gives her honour. Bound first by duty, their marriage slowly becomes a sanctuary of trust, hope, and forbidden desire. As Gunjan learns to smile again, Riddhiman fights the one battle he never expected... the battle of his own heart. A man of reason and law. A girl of innocence and faith. Bound not by romance, but by righteousness and something far more fragile... unspoken love. But what happens when duty starts to feel like desire? Will he ever see her as more than a responsibility? And will she find the freedom she's been longing for... in the heart of the man who became her protector?

📖 STORY DESCRIPTION She writes love stories under pen names, hides behind words, and guards her privacy like a shield. A 27-year-old bold Punjabi writer, loud in laughter, sharp in anger, and fearless in life - she never believed marriage was meant for her. Not until family pressure, a fragile father's health, and a little Punjabi drama pushed her into a wedding she never wanted. He is 29, rich, successful, and emotionally distant. Indian by blood, American by life. A businessman who doesn't believe in love, barely speaks Hindi, and agreed to marriage only to keep his uncle and aunty happy. Two strangers. One forced marriage. On their wedding night, when he coldly says, "I don't consider you my wife." She shocks him with a laugh and replies, "Relax. Whether you accept me or not, I don't care. Now help me take off this lehenga - I'm exhausted." No tears. No expectations. No love. What starts as a compromise slowly turns into companionship, laughter, arguments, and moments neither of them planned. As her loud Punjabi soul crashes into his silent American world, he begins to see the strength behind her jokes - and she starts to see the broken boy behind his calm eyes. But what happens when he discovers that the woman he married unwillingly... is the writer whose stories he secretly admires? A story of forced vows, slow love, healing hearts, and a bold Punjabi woman who never begged for love - but earned it effortlessly. ✨ Enemies to lovers ✨ Forced marriage ✨ Strong female lead ✨ NRI × Punjabi girl

A tale of Love And Revenge~ (Lovers to Enemies) "Dekha?" His voice was cold...too calm for the chaos he'd created. His fingers dug into her arm as he spoke again, sharper this time. "Ye sab jhoot nahi tha. Tumne sirf mera time waste kiya" Suhani's eyes widened, disbelief flooding her trembling body. Tears escaped her eyes, one after another, as though her heart had finally found a way to bleed. "Nahi..." she whispered, her voice breaking under the weight of his name. He let out a low, mocking laugh. "Tum sirf mere time pass ke liye thi" he said, each word falling like shards of glass. "Aur jab sab mera hai... tum kisi kaam ki nahi" Her knees weakened as he pushed her away. The world around her blurred, but the faces in front of her were all too clear...the same people she once called her own. The same faces that once smiled with her, now smirking at her ruin. "You can't do this..." she pleaded, her voice trembling. "Please" He looked away, a smirk curling on his lips. It wasn't the first time he'd hurt her...but this time, it felt final. This wasn't the first time he'd hurt her. She had endured it all... the humiliation, the harsh words, the endless nights of tears. But betrayal... that was something even her heart wasn't ready for. She once believed that silence could heal him, that her love could soften his storms. But she was wrong. The people she loved were the ones who broke her. They whispered behind her back..."His personal plaything" "his timepass" "his mistake" And every time those words reached her, he told her it was fine... that the world was jealous... that this was love... That this is what love looks like. No it doesn't! But tonight, standing in front of the man she gave everything to, Suhani finally understood... Love wasn't supposed to feel like imprisonment. And this? This wasn't love at all. Ranks~ #2nd in Trend #2nd in Karma
