Nebula Valecrest has seven days before the family's real daughter comes home. In the original story, the spoiled fake heiress becomes jealous, torments the innocent Bianca, and eventually gets thrown out by the family who once adored her.

Except Nebula has spent eighteen years clinging to her cold, ridiculously handsome older brother, Eryx. So when she suddenly stops calling, stops waiting for him, stops getting jealous and starts preparing to leave... Eryx assumes it's another tantrum. Then Nebula actually packs her bags. And for the first time, Eryx realizes he doesn't want his spoiled little sister to grow up. He wants to keep her.

# **ISHQ** She had one rule about marriage: **It should make life softer, not harder.** Inaya Khan had built a life she loved. A demanding career. A family she adored. A future she had planned for herself. Marriage wasn't part of that plan-not unless she found someone who could respect the life she'd already built. Then came **Zavian Siddique**. Calm. Reserved. Impossible to read. A wildlife conservationist who had built his own world far away from his family's business empire. And, unfortunately for Inaya, her brother's best friend. The man she never expected to marry becomes the man her family brings home with a **rishta**. But Zavian doesn't ask her to give up her career. He doesn't ask her to become someone else. Instead, he gives her the one thing she never expected from a husband: **choice.** What begins as a carefully considered marriage slowly becomes something neither of them planned for. Between family chaos, childhood memories, endless teasing, quiet conversations, and two very different worlds- Inaya and Zavian begin to discover that sometimes the person you agree to marry... is the person you were never expecting to love. Because a **rishta** can be chosen. But **ishq**? Maybe that was always written by fate.

Because sometimes, love isn't about finding someone perfect. It's about finding the person your heart chooses... even when destiny makes the journey difficult. Will Rabiya and Sarbuland be able to choose each other when the world expects them to choose differently? Or will their love become another story written by Qismat? 🌙❤️ A story of love, family, emotions, sacrifice, misunderstandings, and two hearts trying to find their way to each other.

She knew the deep, low rumble of Mr. Vance's truck-the sound that meant her classmate Chloe would drop her drawing pad, run across the asphalt, and launch herself straight into a pair of waiting arms. She knew the soft hum of the silver sedan that picked up Sam, whose dad always brought two juice boxes-one for Sam, and one for whoever was sitting on the bench next to him. Aira sat on the damp concrete ledge, her knees pulled tight under her oversized yellow raincoat, watching the rain fill the shallow dips in the pavement. Her own backpack felt heavier today, loaded with a soggy math folder and a lunchbox containing only a bruised apple and half a peanut butter sandwich. She didn't listen for a car sound anymore. The faded silver sedan with the dent on the bumper wasn't coming. It hadn't come for six months-not since the freezing morning in November when the quiet inside her house grew so thick it felt hard to breathe. Around her, parents were laughing, taking soggy backpacks off small shoulders, ducking under shared umbrellas. Aira watched a girl two grades above her get lifted straight off her feet, her father swinging her around in a circle despite the downpour. Aira pressed her thumb into the frayed edge of her raincoat sleeve, feeling a cold ache in her chest. Is anyone ever going to carry my backpack again? she wondered, her throat tight with a question she didn't have the words to ask out loud. Will someone ever look at me like I'm the safest thing in their world? The rain kept falling, and no one came to hold the umbrella.

Dhanashree quietly listened to the words of her father, knowing that he spoke from his experience, and he indeed thought that this was the best route for her. She didn't want to disappoint her family, and at the same time, the thought of sharing her precious and lazy life with someone made her feel creeped out. She hated sharing. Finally, she gave a long sigh, "Fine, suppose I agree to your proposal. But I don't want to marry the man you have found for me. I will only marry the one I like, without any pressure on me to like that someone, and so I won't meet any of the suitors you have selected for me". Her father slowly nodded, a bit confused as he tried to understand her words. She stared at him for a moment thoughtfully, then confused, and furrowed her eyebrows as she asked slowly, "If I wouldn't meet the men you have selected, how will I find a man for myself? The only men I know are my male friends, who are all married, and the rest are all work-related people, and I don't know any other man in my age group". Aakash raised his eyebrows resigning, suddenly reminded how work-oriented his daughter is, and that she has never even thought of dating or boys. He gave her a happy smile, "That is for you to think about, my daughter. I give you one year. Find a man for yourself, someone who will formally come and speak to me about his love for you, and ask for your hand in marriage. If your mother likes him, all well and good, otherwise I'll give her the freedom to set you up with the suitors that she has found. I heard that Mr. Roy is a rich man and is running for elections next year. I am sure he'll love to meet you". --- The story of a girl who finds herself trapped in the norms of society, along with the hidden darkness lurking around her, waiting for her to slip and fall. Will she fail? Will she succeed? I don't know myself. Caution: A slow-paced, but fulfilling story.

Some people are not easily noticed. They exist in quiet corners of rooms, in soft pauses between conversations, and in the spaces where words are never fully spoken. Ariana Gabriella is one of them. She is the kind of girl who observes more than she speaks, who feels more than she shows, and who carries thoughts she has never learned to explain. To others, she may seem ordinary-quiet, distant, unreadable. But within her silence lives a world no one has ever truly seen. As life moves forward, she finds herself standing in moments she cannot fully understand-connections she cannot define, emotions she cannot name, and dreams that feel both close and far at the same time. Some encounters come and go like passing seasons. Others linger quietly, long after they are gone. And somewhere along the way, Ariana begins to realize that growing up is not just about changing... but about slowly unfolding into someone she is still becoming. The Unfolding of a Quiet Soul is a story of silence, subtle emotions, and the unseen depth of a girl learning her place in a world that rarely stops to listen. Not every story is loud. Some are meant to be felt... slowly, quietly, deeply.

Instead, Jaanu just nodded and went to sleep. One year of shared meals, quiet conversations, and accidental laughter later, Sharath realizes he's no longer mourning the past. But as their anniversary arrives, a haunting question remains: Why did she accept a loveless deal so easily? The answer might be the very thing that finally breaks his walls down.
