Aleeyeh set the tray down gently, careful not to let the cups clink. She had learned these small precautions-how to exist softly around him, how not to disturb the silence he lived in. Salman didn't look up. She stood there for a moment, fingers twisting into the edge of her sleeve. "I made it the way you like," she said softly. "Less sugar." That was when he spoke. "Aleeyeh." Her name sounded heavy on his tongue, like something he had avoided saying for too long. She looked up, hope rising before she could stop it. "You don't have to do this anymore," he said, finally meeting her eyes. His voice wasn't angry. That almost hurt more. "The effort. The trying." Her lips parted, but no words came. "I see it," he continued, measured, distant. "And I don't want it." A pause. Then, quieter-crueler in its honesty. "I will never love you." The room felt smaller. "I understand," she whispered, though her chest burned with the lie. As she turned away, Salman added, almost like a warning, "Stop waiting for me to change. You'll only hurt yourself." She walked out without another word, carrying her dignity like a fragile glass-unbroken, but trembling. ........ Aleeyeh was promised a marriage before she was old enough to understand what love meant. Salman was twenty-five when that promise was made-already in love with another woman, already tied to a heart that was not meant to be his forever. When duty binds them together, Aleeyeh enters the marriage with hope, patience, and quiet prayers. Salman enters it with silence. No love. No warmth. Only respect and distance. Living beside a husband who does not see her, Aleeyeh learns how lonely marriage can be. Ink of a Broken Vow is a story of patience, past love, and the quiet strength it takes to heal a heart bound by promises made too soon.

But beneath that practiced calm lies the same storm that once surrounded a certain girl - Jayasri Vanapalli. The girl who grew up chasing him around the playground, the one who laughed too easily, cared too deeply... and unknowingly became the center of his world. He promised himself he'd let her go. But when fate brings him back, and she's no longer the little girl who hid behind her brother - the feelings he buried start to surface again, darker and deeper than before. "I thought distance would cure it. But every time someone looks at you, I burn all over again." Jayasri Vanapalli Nineteen, soft-hearted, quiet, and impossibly observant. Life without Arjun and Aditya was dull - until it wasn't. She's stronger now, more independent... but her heart still flutters at the memory of a smile that once meant safety. And when Arjun returns - distant, possessive, and confusingly gentle - her world begins to twist between what's right and what her heart refuses to forget. "He looks at me like I'm still the little girl he used to protect... But his eyes tell a different story now." A story of childhood bonds turned forbidden, of unspoken promises, jealousy, and fate's cruel timing. Because some connections don't fade with time - they only grow harder to hide. 💔 Will Arjun protect her from the world... or from himself? 💫 And when love crosses the line of reason, who really wins - the heart, or fate? ✦•···············•✦ All Rights Reserved © Written by @midnightpetals

"Love is not about what you look at, but what you feel." In a world obsessed with appearances, light, and perfection, Liam has lived his entire life in the dark. Born with a condition that took his sight before he could even understand what it meant to see, he knows the world only through sound, touch, scent, and memory. To others, he is "disabled," "limited," or "living in shadows." But to Liam, his world is complete, rich with music, stories, and a clarity of mind that sighted people often lose. Elara is a young woman carrying a heavy burden. In the eyes of society, she has everything-beauty, opportunity, and a bright future. But inside, she feels broken, invisible, and constantly judged for not being "perfect enough." She hides her insecurities behind a smile, terrified that if people really saw her flaws, they would leave. When a twist of fate brings her to work as a volunteer reader and companion at the center where Liam teaches music, she expects to be the one helping him. She couldn't have been more wrong. Because Liam cannot see her face, her clothes, or the mask she wears every day, he sees something no one else does: her soul. He listens to her voice and hears her pain. He holds her hand and feels her strength. He talks to her and understands her heart. For the first time in her life, Elara feels truly seen-by the one man who has never seen anything at all. But their love is not without obstacles. Faced with misunderstanding, pity from others, and the fear that their differences are too great to overcome, they must learn that beauty is not found in the light, but in the darkness where true feelings grow. Beautiful in Darkness is a touching story about how love helps us find the light within ourselves, proving that the deepest connections are formed not with our eyes, but with our hearts.

Avni Kapoor had loved Virat Malhotra for as long as she could remember. The problem? He never noticed. To Virat, Avni had always been nothing more than Vikram Kapoor's quiet, little daughter-the shy younger sister who existed somewhere in the background while he grew up beside her brilliant older sister, Aditi. Aditi was everything Avni wasn't. Confident. Ambitious. Fearless. And, according to everyone, Virat's future wife. Their marriage was practically inevitable. Until the day before the wedding.

That might only just be beginning. Sometimes the wrong bride is exactly the person you were meant to find.

Haru Aizawa thought he knew how to be loved. Remember everything. Reply to everything. Be the first good morning, the last goodnight, the guy who always has a bento bag and a spare umbrella. He thought being useful was the same as being wanted. Then one morning behind the old gym, the girl he'd been doing it all for says, "Could you stop sending me good morning messages for a while?" "I thought I was being considerate." "I know. But I start every day already owing you an answer." The Attention I Stopped Giving You is not a story about winning her back. It's a story about what you do with all the attention you don't know where to put anymore. After that conversation, Haru has to learn how to be in people's lives without keeping score - in the photography club, at his family's kitchen table with three college applications on it, and next to a girl who doesn't give him reactions as a reward, but only when she means them. It's a slow, quiet, wholesome coming-of-age about unlearning people-pleasing, told in contact sheets, empty seats, and ordinary futures that suddenly feel worth mentioning. _____________________________________________ What to expect: • Slow-burn school romance that moves in slow motion - the ache lives in the space between messages • Wholesome, low-stakes slice of life where relief can hurt more than rejection • Anxious / people-pleaser coded boy learning to be wanted, not just useful • Character development in small moments, not big drama _____________________________________________ [ NEW CHS. - Every other day at 9AM EST ]

PROLOGUE Some people leave your life quietly. And some leave behind a silence so loud that even years can't drown it out. Four years ago, Ruhi had loved Ansh with the kind of certainty only young hearts could have. She had believed some people were meant to stay. She had believed promises meant something. She had believed that no matter how badly life tried to pull two people apart, there would always be a way back to each other. She was wrong. Four years later, she saw him again. And for the first time, Ruhi understood that forgetting someone and pretending you don't remember them are two completely different things. The moment her eyes met his, her heart recognized him before her mind could stop it. Ansh. The boy who had once known every version of her. The boy who knew exactly how she took her tea, what made her laugh, what made her angry-and what made her cry. The boy who had once promised he would never become a stranger. Yet there he stood. Four years older. Four years changed. Still looking at her like she was the only person in the world. And Ruhi? She looked straight into his eyes and lied. "I don't know you." Because sometimes loving someone isn't enough to make you stay. Sometimes the only way to protect the pieces of yourself they left behind... is to pretend you never knew them at all. But Ansh knew her. And he knew one thing Ruhi couldn't hide. She remembered everything. Every promise. Every goodbye. And him.

Ninety days to prepare for an underground heavyweight fighting circuit. Ninety days to face the fighter who shattered her husband's career. But Avery isn't trying to become Hayden.
