Middle-class Stories

Older men make the best lovers-mature, experienced, they know exactly how to take control. But 𝗔𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗵 𝗞𝗮𝘃𝗿𝗮𝘆? He wasn't just a lover. He was a beast. A true Daddy-even if he was younger than me. "𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘢, 𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘢𝘤. 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘬-" I dropped the bottle onto the table with a heavy thud, then shaped my fingers into a circle and slid my other hand up through it, showing her exactly what I meant. "𝘛𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘬." "𝘛𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴? 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘈𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘩 𝘒𝘢𝘷𝘳𝘢𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘢-" she hiccupped-"𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘬?" I leaned in so close my lips brushed her ear, my voice a drunken, filthy whisper. "𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝙨𝙚𝙭." "𝘉𝘶𝘵-𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳?" Maya's eyes narrowed. "𝘈𝘳𝘦𝘯'𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘶𝘱𝘱𝘰𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘪𝘯-𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵? 𝘈 𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘬?" The grin slipped right off my face. I sat back, letting my eyes drift over the dim, smoky bar. My other friends were dancing under flashing lights, their dresses riding high, drinks spilling. My 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘆 was in full swing. But all I could think about was the way he'd stretched me until I cried his name. "𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵-" My voice cracked before I cleared my throat. "𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘈𝘢𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘣𝘩 𝘒𝘢𝘷𝘳𝘢𝘺." 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗺. I hated his smug smile. His dangerous charm. The fact that everyone avoided

Book 1 in the 'Petals & Promises' series Can be read as standalone I never dreamed of big things, not luxury, not miracles. Just a life where I could breathe without fear, and love without counting the cost. In our small town, where the streets are dusty and dreams are expensive, I met 𝐀𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐥 𝐊𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧-the quiet boy with tired eyes and hands rough from work, who somehow became the calm my life had been aching for. We had nothing, not money, not a future guaranteed. But in a cramped room with peeling paint and a stubborn fan, we built something people with mansions still search for- 𝗮 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲, 𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗲. This is the story of us. The present we're living, the past I keep remembering, and the quiet miracles that grew between two people who had almost nothing... Except each other. _____________ Start~ 23/07/2026🌻 End~

"She wasn't looking for love. He wasn't expecting her. But destiny had other plans." #1 Slowburn #1 Engagement

Zunirah has never believed in love. To her, love is fragile, complicated, and something that always comes with a price she refuses to pay. Haris has spent his life carrying expectations he never asked for. Calm, composed, and disciplined, he has no time for distractions-especially emotions he cannot control. Two different worlds. Two different lives. Both connected by roots neither of them can escape. But when Haris meets Zunirah, something shifts. What begins as a quiet curiosity slowly turns into something he cannot ignore-something that starts with him long before her heart even notices. In a world ruled by family, reputation, and unspoken rules... will love be enough when it comes at the wrong time, in the wrong way?

Though when Riki's failing history grade threatens his spot on the dance team, Sera is forced into becoming his private tutor. Time passes, and lines begin to blur.

He was born with a crown on his head and the weight of a kingdom on his shoulders. The crowned prince - the next heir to his family's vast lands, legacy, and a billion-dollar empire built over generations. In boardrooms, he is ruthless. In public, he is untouchable. The world sees him as power wrapped in perfection - disciplined, composed, and destined to rule. But behind the polished suits and royal titles, he is a man trapped between duty and desire. She, on the other hand, was never meant to stand in his world. A middle-class girl with fire in her veins and rebellion in her spirit. She doesn't bow easily, doesn't fear authority, and definitely doesn't care about crowns. Kind-hearted to the core, she fights for the weak, protects her family fiercely, and lives by one rule: "Jab seedhi ungli se baat na bane, toh ungli tedhi karni padti hai." She knows how to love softly - but she also knows how to stand her ground when the world tries to silence her. Their worlds were never meant to collide. But when fate throws them into each other's paths, sparks don't just fly - they burn. Between royal expectations, business rivalries, social status, and whispers of scandal, their love becomes a rebellion of its own. Because loving her could cost him his throne. And loving him could cost her everything she's ever fought for. ༺𓆩༒︎𓆪༻

COLOURFUL DARKNESS What happens when destiny makes two people meet who were never meant to belong to the same world? He comes from a world filled with everything she has never known. She comes from a life he could never imagine. Hridaya - a divorced young man who seems to have everything. A life people would call perfect. A man everyone believes they would be lucky to have. But behind that perfection lies a past he never talks about. He is surrounded by colours- yet somehow, his world remains colourless. Nandini - an orphan raised by her grandparents. A simple girl with little to her name, except her dreams, her innocence, and a heart that refuses to give up. Her life has given her every reason to lose her colours. Yet somehow, she still knows how to fly with them. Two strangers. Two completely different worlds. Two hearts carrying wounds they don't know how to heal. And then- destiny makes them collide. Will they fight against everything standing between them- their age, their class, their past, and the secrets that refuse to stay buried? Or will the world they come from prove stronger than the love they find? Because sometimes... the person who brings colour into your darkness is the one you were never supposed to meet. Will their love bloom? Or will their story become another beautiful thing that destiny was never meant to let survive?

First Impression What happens when your very first impression of someone is completely wrong? Darima never expected a minor accident to introduce her to two strangers-one kind, one infuriating. She was certain she had them figured out, especially the cold, arrogant billionaire who seemed to believe money could solve everything. Adam Lane had long accepted that people judged him before they truly knew him. But the fearless young woman who challenged him without hesitation was unlike anyone he had ever met. As fate continues to bring them together, misunderstandings give way to friendship, laughter, and a love neither of them saw coming. Yet just when they begin to believe they've found happiness, hidden expectations, family pressures, and painful truths threaten to tear them apart. Can love survive when it is built on a terrible first impression? Or are some judgments impossible to erase? Because sometimes, the heart sees what the eyes never could.

He never wore a crown, never held a gun... but still, he ruled her world. She was born with blood on her hands and fire in her veins-the mafia princess everyone feared. A girl who could break ribs without breaking a sweat, yet secretly dreamed of fairy tales. And he? He was just a boy with flour-dusted fingers and a heart too pure for her dark world. A gamer. A dreamer. The last person you'd expect to survive her storm. But fate doesn't ask for permission. One forced marriage. One innocent heart trapped in her dangerous empire. One girl who would tear down the underworld to protect the only man who made her feel human. She was raised to be a queen of crime- But for him, she chose to be his princess first... and his protector forever. After all, he wasn't just her husband. He was... Her innocent King. 👑

Meera, a middle class small town girl with big dreams in her eyes. she has come to Mumbai in hope for a job as she is the only bread winner of her family. But destiny has some other plans for her. She ended up marrying The Shubham Malhotra, founder and CEO of MALHOTRA'S INDUSTRY. She married him after 10 minutes of meeting him for the very first time. Meeting him becomes the worst nightmare of her life. What happened in those 10 minutes that forced her to marry him ? Is Mr. Shubham Malhotra her destined partner ?

Murad Al-Abbas is a man carved from duty and stone. As a high-ranking royal, he is as powerful as he is breathtakingly handsome-a man whose presence commands absolute silence and whose temper is as cold as the desert night. He has no room for sentiment, only the heavy crown of his lineage and the secrets that keep his empire standing. Inaya Ibrahim is a vision of grace from a modest home, her life defined by the rhythmic scrub of laundry in a dusty courtyard and the stinging whispers of a family that barely sees her. She is a girl of middle-class dreams and quiet resilience, hoping only for a life of peace far away from her sister's cruelty.

AAPAN SAARE All of Us, Together Mrunali Rane never planned on collecting people. Yet somehow, between school corridors, coaching classes, festival preparations, and everyday chaos, she finds herself surrounded by friends who slowly become family. There's the boy who always has a joke ready, the one who somehow keeps everyone grounded, the girl who knows her better than anyone else, the sunshine friend, the drama, the arguments, the late-night calls, and the countless memories waiting to happen. At home, it's just Runu, her strong-willed mother Aparna, and her forever-young Maushi Amruta-three women trying their best, loving each other fiercely, and somehow surviving life's chaos one day at a time. What begins as an ordinary school year slowly becomes something much bigger. A story about friendship. A story about growing up. A story about finding your people. Because sometimes the most important love stories aren't romantic at all. They're the ones built through shared lunches, inside jokes, festival nights, and the people who choose to stay. This is the story of all of them. Aapan Saare.
