Bhagya Patil has always been everyone's favorite person-but never anyone's favorite choice. The funny friend. The dependable friend. The girl who lights up every room she walks into. Yet when it came to love, she was always overlooked. Friend-zoned. Rejected. Judged. Mostly because of her weight. Aditya Singh once believed he had found the love of his life. But after a heartbreaking breakup, he is left bitter, emotionally exhausted, and pressured by his family to move on. One impulsive decision changes everything. A marriage proposal. A stranger. A girl he has never spoken to. A marriage neither of them wants for the right reasons. "I'll marry you, but I can't love you." Those words should have made Bhagya walk away. Instead, she said yes. A loveless marriage. A shared home. Two broken hearts. What happens when the girl nobody chose becomes the one person he can't live without?

"Please..I can't accept this marriage, I..I was forced into this. I love somebody else" Riya said finally after mustering up the courage, her red and ivory bangles jingled as she motioned, indicating she got married. she opened her eyes to see a tall, broad-shoulder guy with intimidating green eyes that cut through her and all he saw was red. "if u didn't want this marriage then why ruin my life huh?!" he yelled, roaring, his eyes bloodshot with anger and he grabbed her by her elbow almost crushing it. "p..please..." she prayed to leave her, but soon after he smirked "but you know what it doesn't matter cause now YOU ARE MINE!! and we shouldn't let our first night go in vain" he sensually whispered as he licked her ear lobe "N-N-NO" she screamed but he threw her on the bed

Six years ago, Nayantara walked away...and took Veer Raizada's belief in love with her. Once known for his charm, his reckless affairs, and women falling at his feet, Veer had never believed in forever. Relationships were distractions. Beauty was temporary. Feelings were dangerous. What he had with Nayantara wasn't love either - it was loneliness disguised as attachment. Toxic. Messy. Doomed. But their broken relationship left him with one beautiful miracle. His daughter......Nisha Raizada. And for the first time in his life, Veer wanted to be better. Not a flirt. Not a sinner. Not the man his past defined him as. But a good father. Now juggling work, family responsibilities, and frequent travel, Veer searches for a live-in nanny - someone to care for Nisha while he struggles to balance the life he never thought he deserved. He expects efficiency. Discipline. Experience. He doesn't expect her. Meera patil.....A quiet woman in simple kurtas and jeans. No makeup. No glamour. Half her face hidden behind a dupatta. Eyes that avoid mirrors. Scars she never talks about. A divorcee. A survivor of a bad marriage. A woman who stopped believing she was beautiful long ago. Yet on the very first day... Nisha runs into her arms like she's known her forever and Veer finds himself watching. Not because she's stunning. Not because she tries to impress him. But because she's gentle. Safe. Real. For a man who once chased perfect faces, he now finds his heart drawn to the one woman who hides hers. As a scarred past meets a scarred soul, two broken people slowly discover something neither of them thought they deserved- Not desire, Not obsession. But quiet, healing love. Because sometimes...the most beautiful hearts are the ones the world tried hardest to break.

Vaidehi Rajguru is soft where the world has been cruel. Betrayed by the man she loved, used, and humiliated, she is left carrying a lie that was never hers-that she was only good for one night. Scarred but still standing, Vaidehi isn't searching for love anymore-only for a way to breathe without shame. Rudra Vardhan is control wrapped in darkness. An alpha who doesn't believe in permanence, emotions, or second chances. One day-that's all he allows himself. One indulgence, convinced that desire will fade and attachment will dissolve. But Vaidehi is not something he can walk away from. As a stalker's shadow begins to close in, threatening to unravel her fragile sense of safety, Rudra's restraint starts to fracture. What begins as possession without touch turns into something far more dangerous-devotion. The kind that watches, guards, and claims without permission. This is a slow-burn, steamy romance filled with unspoken longing, emotional healing, and rising suspense-where love doesn't rush, but consumes... and where being claimed doesn't always require a touch.

"Останови машину," I commanded. (Stop the car) The driver, whose name I'd forgotten, obeyed. Stepping out, I walked towards the boys, hearing their laughter and insults. I jogged over, drawing my gun from the holster at my waist, and snapped, "Тебя никто не учил манерам?" (Did no one ever teach you any manners?) The color drained from their faces, and they scattered. Approaching the corner where they had been standing, my heart clenched. There, on the cold ground, lay a girl, shivering in nothing but a dirty, torn t-shirt. ♡♡︎♡︎ A small, naive girl with no shelter. A feared mafia boss known as the Angel of Death...What will happen when their paths cross?

She's soft in the way she speaks, fierce in the way she loves, and carries that sunshine energy that makes people feel lighter just by standing near her. She believes in soulmate-level love, in rituals, in anklets that jingle when she walks toward a future she's always imagined for herself. Abhinav Malhotra, 30, a CEO carved out of discipline and silence, moves through life like a man who's forgotten what warmth feels like. His world is made of glass offices, cold coffee, and unspoken fears. Stoic eyes, quiet voice, careful steps - the sort of man who keeps his heart locked behind his ribs because he's convinced it doesn't deserve a home. She wants a real marriage. He gives her a contract instead. No reasons. No explanations. Just rules. But every rule shakes when her warmth collides with his silence, when her middle-class softness enters his billionaire world, when her brightness starts cracking the walls he's spent years building.

Tropes: ✨ arranged marriage ✨ contract marriage ✨ grumpy × sunshine ✨ rich × middle class ✨ fall-first-but-deny-it ✨ slow-burn tension ✨ emotional healing arc

After her parents' death, Ruhi had no choice but to leave everything behind - her country, her dreams, her peace - for the sake of her younger brother. Italy was supposed to be a lifeline. A job. A way to survive. Instead, it became a cage made of marble and secrets. She was the invisible one - the quiet, plus-size girl in the mansion's shadows, content with her small world and her silence. He was the man everyone feared - Don Gabriele Colombo. Ruthless. Untouchable. Worshipped like a god and cursed like a devil. One glance. That's all it took for him to notice her. And once he did, there was no turning back. He made her his mistress - his craving, his obsession, his undoing. But monsters don't know how to love without destroying, and when his darkness touched her light, she walked away... leaving him with nothing but the echo of what he'd broken. Now, with blood on his hands and regret in his heart, Gabriele Colombo will learn the one truth no empire ever taught him -you can command the world, but never the woman who owns your soul.

Different cultures. Different languages... She was an ordinary Muslim girl, living in the Meskin Empire. There was an abundance of everything God could have graced the lands of the Meskins. They had it all. Then came in the enemies, wanting to steal the land and claim it as their own, but that wasn't the only thing they wanted.
