"You should find someone of your status... not a simple, ordinary orphan doctor," he said quietly, his voice steady but his eyes betraying the storm inside. Aaniya stepped closer, her heels echoing softly against the marble floor, a dangerous smile curving her lips. "No one can match your status, muffin," she whispered, her gaze locking into his. "And my choice... is never ordinary." Her fingers brushed his jaw, tilting his face toward her. "Muffin," she breathed, her tone melting between challenge and confession,"I am yours... and you are mine. And I will do anything to make sure the world knows it. ""You kept me in the dark for six months, Aaniya," Ishaan said, his voice breaking as he looked at her one last time. "I can't trust you anymore... and I don't love you. We're no more friends." He turned away before the tremor in his voice could betray the ache in his chest. Aaniya didn't move. She just smiled softly, painfully as her heart bled behind that calm face. "But I do, muffin," she whispered. He froze at the door, his throat tightening, tears burning behind his eyes. He swallowed hard... and walked away. And for the first time, the woman who never lost a case, lost the only heart she ever wanted to win. © 2025 Kaashi Kaashi. All rights reserved.

Mistaken for a fae, her blood is thought to hold the power to restore balance to a crumbling realm. The first thing she learns when she's captured: never trust a dragon. Ash has always known what it means to be feared. He comes from the Third Kingdom, the only realm where dragons remain awake inside their bonded.

What he does not anticipate is how fiercely he will have to fight the beast that already sees her as its own.

Prem Ki Leela is not merely a story of love. It is a journey of two souls destined to meet beneath the sacred echoes of Vrindavan where love is not possession, but surrender. One carries the burden of kingdoms. The other carries the burden of emotions. Yet destiny has already begun its divine play. Because some souls are not meant to meet by coincidence. They are brought together by fate, by karma, and by a love older than time itself. Set between the spiritual soul of Vrindavan and the chaos of the modern world, Prem Ki Leela is a tale of Dharma, sacrifice, healing, divine love, self-worth, and the kind of Prem that transforms wounded souls into something eternal. For where there is true Prem... there will always be separation, sacrifice, surrender, and eventually a divine union. And perhaps, somewhere within the sacred streets of Vrindavan... Radha Krishna is already playing the leela for their story.. Prem ki Leela _Sailaja
