Bhabra by TripuWrites

Winner of Wattpad India Awards 2020 (Judge's Choice) in the New Adult category. ~*~ "The lights are cheeky, you can't live without them, and yet if you get too close, they'll blind you. Darkness? Well it doesn't cheat. It's cool and soothing. It's reliable." ~*~ Madhulika Thakur thought it would be a good break from work when she agreed to visit the countryside. After all, someone needed to sort out the property her family owned there, and real estate was her forte. What she didn't expect was to be engulfed by a landslide of issues just waiting to be addressed. She must navigate her way through the mess of a fragile social fabric, complex caste equations and the sheer helplessness of the people she never knew worked for her; all the while trying to regain the trust of a long-abandoned old friend. For the first time in her life, she must choose between what she wants and what is right. ~.~ Cover by @chaashnee

Fire & Ice : A saga of trust and devotion by thatmiraclepen

"Rudra Malhotra naam toh suna hoga ?" Rudra is the epitome of charisma-outgoing, charming, and unabashedly playful. He has an infectious laugh and a quick wit that makes him the life of the party. His flirty nature often leads to playful banter and spontaneous adventures. Despite his carefree attitude, there is an underlying complexity to his personality; his charm often masks an inherent loneliness stemming from unresolved heartbreak. His laughter is often a façade to cover the pain of his past. "Never trust a man with desire" Ruhanika Mehra is short-tempered and strong-headed, not afraid to speak her mind and stand up for herself. She is determined and driven, always wanting to achieve her goals and dreams. However, she also has a soft side to her, especially when it comes to her loved ones. She can be fiercely protective and caring towards them. ""Rooh!" The silence was deafening. No response, no movement. I snapped open my eyes, scanning the room frantically. That's when I saw it - the bloodstain on the bed sheet. My mind reeled as memories of last night flooded back. "Rudra, make me yours." Ruhanika's whispered plea echoed in my mind. "You complete me, Rooh." My own words haunted me. I clutched my head, feeling like I was losing my grip on reality. Where was she? I spun around, my gaze locking onto the dressing table mirror. A note was stuck to the glass. I snatched it, my hands trembling. "We can't be together." Ruhanika. I stared blankly at the note, my mind reeling. Why would Ruhanika leave without a word? What will happen when a girl who never believed in love and a boy who always craved for true love will collide with each other in such circumstances which forced them hate each other at first sight but still they can't deny the attraction,lust and desperation towards each other ?
