This arrangement of theirs would have gone on quite happily if she hadn't caught him on the snooker table with their maid, and on their wedding anniversary night no less. Humiliated and more than a little drunk, Iris storms out of the house vowing never to return unless it's for a well-compensated divorce. But as the train trundles out of the city, she slowly calms down and quickly realizes that there's a problem. A big problem. Because the only thing Iris has ever done in her life is being a trophy wife. The prospect of unfunded singlehood on the cusp of her thirties is a horrifying nightmare she's unprepared to deal with. So naturally, when she lays eyes on who she thinks is the richest bachelor in Ryefair, Iris is more than ready to put her claws into him. Except, Satoh Akai isn't the richest bachelor in Ryefair - not by a long shot. And as someone who speaks better with animals than people, romance is the furthest thing from his mind. When an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, anything is possible but one thing is certain - worlds will collide and hearts will burn. ✒ 17th November 2021 (start) ✒ 27th July 2022 (end)

| 'Time' Series | | Time#1 : Book One of The 'Secrets Duology' | *** The workings of her brain were a mystery to her own pneuma. That's what Hinduja Rao always thought. But, quite similar to her thoughts about her own self, was someone else around her. Her newly wedded husband, the sovereign of the Dogra Empire, Mahadevan Dogra. A man who possessed the might to guard even shadows. To the people who knew, theirs was a simple marriage. But was it really? Together, they stand in the murky twilight, enshrouded by a dense layer of fog, with their toddler securely tucked within their protective hold. But, once the fog sheds, they must hunt for a coin, a coin of two sides, embossing realities that are enough to destroy everything they have steadily built around themselves. The twist? Mahadevan knows what his side of the coin has to say, Hinduja doesn't. Moreover, is everything exactly as it appears to be? Or, all along, what awaits at the end is, in fact, an illusion indeed. *** Note - With all intents and purposes, Secrets Hidden In Time is a slow-burn e-novel in terms of romance, mystery, and the psychological thriller quotient of it. Kindly be patient.

| 𝔉𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔲𝔯𝔢𝔡 | Serialized Spotlight - AmbassadorsIN | Book 1 in the SURYAGARH ROYALS series. Suryagarh Fort. In the heart of the desert state of Rajasthan, a 900-year-old fort, a 500-year-old family feud, a 300-year-old portrait, and the thirty-year-old crowned prince await the presence of the enigmatic and enchanting woman who will be the key to breaking the curse. The same curse that the royal family of Suryagarh has been battling for over half a millennium now. The very same one that has the princesses of the lineage mysteriously dropping dead before coming of age. Shreya Awasthy is unaware of what secrets and lies have been crawling menacingly in every nook and cranny of Suryagarh Fort. She is a tourist; she doesn't give a damn. However, the more she tries distancing herself from the depths of darkness, the more she gets sucked into the treacherous web of mystery and magic in the town. The more she tries to stay away from the charming prince, the more she is drawn to his gentle heart and ruthless facade. As anecdotes about elixirs from the Himalayas, stories about a certain king who possessed a mighty sword, and fables of an erstwhile princess who looked like her fall on Shreya's ears, she knows Suryagarh Fort is not just a tourist destination for her. It's a town where magic runs deep and serial killing is the norm. An anomaly of nature that she is, she must help nature seek balance. No matter what the cost is. Cover Credits: @AmbassadorsIN

Tired of pacing in the room in the heavy bridal attire, she sat down at the end of the large bed at the center of the room. Suddenly she was reminded of the first night of her first wedding. Manish's cousin sisters had made her sit in the new bride style on the bed with her lehenga surrounding her in a neat circle. She had kept her gaze lowered and waited for him to arrive and sweep her off her feet. Nothing of that sort had happened though. Manish had never come in the room that night. She had changed after waiting for 2 hours and then drifted off to sleep in the arm chair in Manish's room. There was a thin layer of tears in her eyes today as she sat nervously at the edge of the bed and silently wished nothing of the previous episode repeated tonight. As though her silent prayers were heard, there was a knock on the door. She stood up immediately. ------------------------------------------------------------ Believe in second chances ?

What they came up with, was a proposed Fling. *********** "I don't want to. I never want to speak about him." She opened her eyes and sat back, staring into space. " I want to push him down and bury him somewhere, somewhere I can never dig up again. I want him to be a nobody to me. A nobody we never speak of. But... But that nobody meant so much, Sakshi. So much that even thinking about him trembles my soul with memories, with this feeling of loss. My heart breaks a little more each time I close my eyes and accidentally think of the color of his eyes. It fucking hurts so much." "It's okay, V. It will be okay. No, it will never be. *********** Completed.

Dhushyanth Reddy and Sita Cherukuri, on the surface, their similarities are endless; they are both the first-borns of affluent, wealthy, political families, they were both born and brought up in Hyderabad, they both studied in the UK for a while, they are both single, and the topic of their respective impending nuptials is of immense interest within high society. While Dhushyanth's family forces him to find a woman to be his wife to add credibility to his persona, Sita's father makes a laughing stock of her relationship status in the state assembly, of all places. Add to this, a media scandal, based on true events. The result: A marriage between the two. A ride that shall be.
