Ruthless
Ruthless. Her mother's eyes pleaded silently with hers, the brown pools blurring with anger and sadness, ❝They call you ruthless, Akira, you understand right? You need to stop this madness. Right this second-❞ She cut her mother off, turning the emerald ring that sat on her middle finger.

Or will you trust the one person you weren't supposed to? ✾ ------------ [Trigger warning - Mentions of blood, gore and war.] [Word count: 40k - 50k] © dyysfunctional_bitxh [2021]Complete
Saundarya ~ The Epitome Of Sacrifice
The great war in between the two of the greatest kingdoms occurred. The Cholas and the Rajputs. She was the captive and he was the captivator. She was the princess who was committed to someone else, tied by the strong thread of marriage. She was cheated by the brother she thought of as her world and was disowned by the same husband whom she loved and trusted blindly. When the whole world went against her, only he stood by, despite not knowing who she was. ___________________________ " War destroys the landscape in which it is fought; it erodes the natural solidarity between human beings, turning people who might be friends into mortal enemies; and it robs the soldiers who fight of their capacity to speak truth to power-to resist the wars in which they give their lives. What's more, the trauma of war lingers even after the battle is over. People like you who fought this war in the name of justice robbing my brother of his life, decapitating his head from his body, trusting such a dehumanised and monstrous person, and talking to him, NEVER! You are just a violent animal who uses his sword instead of his claws to kill, if the difference is laid out. Please, just get lost from my sight, I don't even want to see your face.." She said, This was the first time she had lost her cool, and it greatly satisfied me, that even if she shouted and called me names, at least she threw out the building tension and indignation at me. I just smiled at her. ___________________________ Adiraj dev Rajput, the one addressed as the Kunwarsa. The Charakraj [THE KING OF THE SPIES] and the Vitt mantri [FINANCE MINISTER] of Jodhpur, who has hidden a lot in him. Can he get her to trust him? When he was the one who destroyed her life, can he also be the one to tape together the shattered pieces? READ SAUNDARYA ~ THE EPITOME OF SACRIFICE Follow me on instagram: watt.sorayairhaComplete

"She was the thorn fate shoved into his ruthless path... and now, the beast bows only to her." King Indrajeet Singh Rajput-the most feared name in all of Rajputana. At just 26, he's conquered more than half the desert kingdoms, his sword soaked in the blood of kings who dared look him in the eye. He has no heart, no mercy, and certainly no time for love. Until one hunt changes everything. A wounded Indrajeet stumbles into the quiet forest hut of Aarya Sahariya, a tribal healer with a sharp tongue and a soul made of sunshine. She's not royalty. She's not afraid. And she couldn't care less who he is. "Zakhm toh aapko sirf talwar se nahi, tevar se bhi milega, Maharaj."

When Aarya refuses his proposal, Indrajeet does what he does best-he takes. A royal wedding. A stolen bride. A war of fire and silk begins. But Aarya isn't just a girl from the forest. She has dreams-to become a doctor, to heal, to rise. In a palace where love is a weapon, and her own mother-in-law wants her erased, Aarya must fight for her identity, her education, and her heart.

Bound By Fire And Fate!
Rajasthan A land where the sun scorches the golden sand and the wind whispers secrets of blood and honor. Where the walls of ancient havelis still echo with forgotten battles-and where the Singhanias rule like modern-day kings. Rich in tradition, feared in silence. The Singhania Haveli stood tall in Udaipur, a fusion of royal grandeur and ruthless power. Guards in black patrolled the iron gates, but inside, chandeliers shimmered, and the scent of mogra clung to the silk-draped corridors. At the center of it all-Aarav Singh Rajput Singhania. To the world, he was a business magnate, the youngest tycoon in the state, charming in interviews and cold in boardrooms. But behind closed doors, he was something darker. Smarter. Deadlier. The name Singhania wasn't just wealthy-it was whispered with fear in the underworld. Aarav never smiled unless it was to hide something. His enemies disappeared without a trace. His allies? Loyal to death. And his family-bound by blood, ruled by legacy. But even kings bleed. And even lions fall. Especially when fate sends a storm disguised in softness. A girl with too much innocence in her eyes... and a fire she didn't know she carried. A dialogue from my favorite chapter :- "I know power doesn't always scream," she replied. "Sometimes it walks in wearing bangles and binds empires with a whisper" (◍•ᴗ•◍)Complete
