The pregnancy test slipped from Elena's trembling fingers and landed on the cold bathroom floor. Two pink lines. The silence became deafening. She pressed a shaky hand over her mouth as tears blurred her vision. Outside the door, she could hear the city breathing, unaware that her entire world had just changed. She whispered to herself, almost as if saying it too loudly would make it real. "I'm... pregnant." And the father? Victor DeLuca. The billionaire who had never planned on becoming a husband... let alone a father. --- Carrying a Billionaire's Baby One mistake. Two pink lines. A million consequences. Elena never imagined that one unexpected night would tie her life forever to billionaire CEO Victor DeLuca, a man feared in boardrooms, admired by the world, and emotionally guarded behind walls of power and wealth. When an unplanned pregnancy turns their lives upside down, they're forced into an arrangement that neither of them wants... or so they believe. Between strict house rules, family expectations, stolen glances, heartbreaking misunderstandings, and a baby who slowly becomes the center of their universe, Elena and Victor discover that love doesn't always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes, it grows quietly, hidden between late night conversations, tiny kicks beneath a heartbeat, and the courage to choose each other every single day. But love is never simple when the world is watching, old wounds refuse to heal, and the past threatens to destroy everything they've built. Will they remain two strangers connected only by a child... Or will carrying a billionaire's baby become the beginning of the greatest love story of their lives?

In a kingdom ruled by men, Princess Roopmati was never meant to sit in council halls, speak of war, or understand power better than princes twice her age. But Roopmati was never born to remain silent. Raised beside a king who saw her mind before her gender, she grows into a woman feared as much as admired-sharp-tongued, politically dangerous, and unwilling to bow before a world determined to reduce her to beauty and marriage. Yet power comes with loneliness. Every decision is questioned. Every ambition is watched. Every mistake threatens to destroy the place she fought to earn. And then comes Veer. A soldier who refuses to flatter her. A bodyguard who challenges her instead of obeying blindly. A man who sees through the control she wears like armor. Their battles begin with arguments-cold, intelligent, relentless. But beneath the rivalry grows something far more dangerous: attention, obsession, and a connection neither of them can control. Because in a palace built on politics, loyalty is never simple... and love may become the most dangerous weakness of all. A story of ambition, power, jealousy, and slow-burning desire, *Roopmati* is a dark royal romance where hearts are guarded as fiercely as kingdoms.
