Our Royal Love - Part 2 of Royally Yours
"Why don't you divorce him?" the man beside me asked making all the memories hit me like a truck. His smile, his care, his love, his possessiveness, his fight against the families about our marriage, him keeping me and my comfort before everything, that cute banter, romantic kisses, assuring hugs, sincere promises, everything, every single thing about us is still roaming in my mind. How can I leave him when he is the very reason for my existence after I lost everything? But do we have any future? I don't know. "I can't do that. The board members are still not convinced about my abilities and divorcing him is going to backfire on us and they would want me to step down as the CEO. This separation thing needs to wait until I make my place in the organization," I again stalled the advances from my side giving another business reason and he walked away, convinced. I need to act quickly and find the actual culprit before he decides to send a notice from his side. I lost too much in the past 3 months and I am not ready to leave my only reason to live, My Aksh. I have to end this game soon.
Marriage first, then love
He did not love her. It was a loveless marriage to him. In his eyes, she is just a burden who cooks food for him. And in return, he will earn money and place it in her bank account. But she fell for him the moment she had laid eyes on him. It was love at first sight. She would lovingly cook him breakfast, but he would not even glance at her in the morning. In attempts to get him to glance at her, she fooled and embarrassed herself in front of him. She was close to giving up. A small part of her had hoped someday he would change the way he views her. But the fragment of hope diminishes very quickly. Little did she know that one simple action will cause everything to change. That one day he going to start feeling something for her, when her heart is broken. That he is going to start feeling something for her, with a dark past. Will she have to continue to wonder whether it will always be a loveless marriage or a new journey where they fall in love with each other together instead of one-sided love. Will he be able to love her like she loves him? A/N: Probably cliché to some people, read with caution.Complete

"If you haven't got a diary, get one. Because it makes a great reading when you're all stable and you look back to some of the rocky times and then have passionate sex over it. But only if you're still together six years later because otherwise it'd be horrible." -Rose and RosieComplete
LET ME HATE YOU
A marriage neither wanted. A hatred neither understands. Two strangers tied by a past that stains everything between them. He never wanted a wife. Especially not her. Cold, distant, and poisoned by assumptions, Amaan enters the forced marriage with one intention- to keep his distance and keep his resentment alive. Asmaira enters with something far heavier- guilt. Not to protect him. Not to save him. But because she knows the truth of what happened... and she cannot bear to confess it. They have never met. But the moment they do, the air turns sharp- full of tension, unspoken accusations, and the kind of hate that feels too much like longing. He despises her for a sin she never committed. She punishes herself for a sin she never confessed. And marriage turns into a battleground where silence is a weapon... and closeness is a threat. In this house, love is impossible. Trust is deadly. But hatred? Hatred is the only thing keeping them alive.
