"You were never meant to be my wife, Saanvi." "Don't worry, Reyansh," she replied quietly. "I was never planning to stay." Reyansh Malhotra never planned to marry Saanvi Rao. In fact, he made sure she knew that before the wedding even happened. When powerful families decide their future, love rarely gets a say. Forced into an alliance neither of them wanted, Reyansh offers Saanvi a deal the night before their wedding. Six months. Six months of pretending to be husband and wife. Six months until he divorces her and marries the woman he truly loves. For Reyansh, it is a simple arrangement. For Saanvi, it is a quiet sacrifice. Bound by a contract and trapped in the cold grandeur of the Malhotra mansion, Saanvi quickly learns that being Reyansh's wife does not mean being accepted as one. To him, she is only a placeholder... a temporary solution to a permanent problem. And when Rhea Kapoor-the woman Reyansh loves-walks back into his life, the fragile balance of their arrangement begins to shatter. But hearts are unpredictable. And sometimes the person meant to stay only for a while... becomes the one you cannot bear to lose. Because some contracts are easy to sign. Breaking them, however, might cost everything.

She was raised in a family that understood her heart, nurtured her mind and gave her the finest education in every art she chose to learn.

Vaidehi Mehra had loved once-and lost more than she could bear. Betrayed by the man she trusted and wounded by the family meant to protect her, she walked away from the ruins with only one reason to keep going: her two-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Esha. Esha's laughter, tiny hands, and unquestioning love became the fragile thread holding Vaidehi's broken heart together. Marriage was never meant to be part of her story again. Not after the betrayal. Not after the whispers. But one careless photograph and one malicious rumor are enough to undo everything she rebuilt. What begins as office gossip spirals into public scandal, dragging her dignity through headlines and threatening her career-and worse, her daughter's future. When reputation becomes survival, a solution is offered. Simple. Strategic. Respectable. Marriage. Vikram Khanna is the last man Vaidehi would ever choose to depend on. A self-made billionaire, disciplined, distant, and fiercely private, he has built his empire alone-and planned to keep his life that way. Their union is nothing more than damage control: a contractual arrangement designed to silence speculation and restore order. But neither of them accounts for Esha. With her innocent eyes and fearless affection, Esha becomes the quiet bridge between two guarded adults. As Vaidehi struggles with scars from her past and Vikram maintains the emotional walls that have always protected him, the boundaries of their arrangement begin to blur. What starts as strategy slowly begins to feel like shelter. What begins as obligation starts resembling belonging. A Home We Didn't Plan is a story of resilience before romance, of a child's innocence melting the coldest defenses, and of two people who never intended to build a family-yet may discover that love sometimes grows where it was never meant to.

But when her parents are murdered and the alliance her dead father promised becomes the only thing keeping two families from war, she learns that being impossible doesn't mean being free.

In a world where the dead make the rules and the living just pay the price, neither the girl who burns too bright nor the man who's gone too quiet will survive unchanged-if they survive at all.

While he was still learning to walk carefully around the shore, life in a flash pushed him into a raging ocean with no experience of survival and a newborn child in his weak, quivering arms. Inside it, at every inch -- demons, hundreds of demons cloaked in human flesh were silently waiting for him, their hands burning with an ache to be stained in blood. And the worst, cruelest truth was; they had been waiting for him but never for him. The child, the small life in his arms. Her breath. Her blood. That was all they wanted. He knew he was nothing, absolutely nothing before them -- just a simple boy with simpler intentions and the simplest way of seeing the world. He had every intention of walking away, of leaving her behind and forgetting she had ever existed. It was simple. It was the plan. Until she opened her eyes and lifted her wide, teary eyes to look at him and in those eyes of the newborn, lived an innocence so heavenly pure that for the first time, every sacrifice, even dying to protect her seemed worth it. After all, in the end, he had become her 𝐟𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫, her baba. He fought every single one of them, not as a warrior but as a young father. As he forgot everything; his fear, his pain, his life. The only thing that he could remember was her crying little face, buried in the crook of his neck. But for how long could he keep her and himself safe from them? He knew he needed someone strong. Not just strong. But Stronger. Stronger than them, than those men. Perhaps, a man. Or many. Or maybe, just maybe, a woman, only.
