Our Arranged Love by dreamer_antara

Featured in Serialised Spotlight Reading list of @AmbassadorsIN✨ Saanjh Mishra, a 27-year-old teacher, loved her simple, purposeful life. Her days were spent surrounded by young minds, and she found satisfaction in helping shape their small worlds. Marriage felt distant, almost unnecessary, yet when her parents arranged a meeting with a young doctor, she couldn't refuse. Ashrut Sharma, a 28-year-old pediatrician, was equally committed to his own quiet routines. Balancing his days between his studies and caring for children at the hospital, he found comfort in his solitude. Romance had never been a priority, but when his mother gently urged him to meet Saanjh, he agreed, if only to make her happy. Their first meeting was meant to be brief, an exchange of polite pleasantries over tea. But something in their shared silences and steady glances sparked a connection neither had expected. Saanjh saw a steadiness in Ashrut that felt reassuring, while Ashrut found her laughter warm, a contrast to his own reserved nature. Bound in marriage by their families' wishes, Saanjh and Ashrut began their life together as strangers, each careful in the other's presence. Yet gradually, small gestures began to bridge the space between them-a shared cup of tea in the early morning, the gentle way he'd listen to her talk about her students, or the warmth of her smile as she handed him his stethoscope before he left for work. In these moments, an unspoken affection grew, something as natural as it was unexpected. And with each quiet glance, each shared meal, they realized that love, perhaps, was not as distant as they had thought. In each other, they found not just a partner but a companion who brought a quiet joy to the everyday.

(CURRENTLY UNDER MAJOR EDITING SO LATE UPDATES) Full Blurb in Chapter- "Aesthetics & Blurb" __________________________________ In a world where wealth defines power and silence hides scars, six lives collide under one roof-some bound by duty, some by past love, and some by secrets too dangerous to speak aloud. They didn't choose each other. They were thrown together by arrangements, timings, and the haunting echoes of old wounds. Abhimanyu Oberoi, the perfect heir, never thought love would come dressed in pain and fire. Pratishtha, whose soul still carries the weight of her past, never expected a man to see her scars and still choose to stay. Ananya buried her heart eight years ago-right where Tanmay left it shattered. Now he's back, engaged to someone else, but haunted by the truth he never knew. And then there's Abhiraj and Diksha, who hate each other far too much to admit what's building beneath the surface. This isn't just a story of love. It's about healing. About betrayal. About power and control. About wounds that run deeper than blood, and choices that could ruin everything. Will love be enough to stand against the ghosts of the past and the battles of the present? Or will these lives-arranged by fate and shattered by choice-tear apart before they even begin to come together? With love 💋 Azmira 🎀

Veils of Time [Completed✓] by soha_writess

𝑳𝑬𝑮𝑨𝑪𝒀 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬 : 𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝑶𝒏𝒆 In a world where shadows of the past loom large, I find myself entwined in a marriage I myself had said 'yes' for. Because I can never be a mother. Never. And he himself had agreed that he had no problem with it. I was so happy the day I thought - maybe, my life could come back on track. Like a fairy tale. But, I don't know what went wrong after our marriage. Karthik Yadav, the enigmatic heir to a powerful empire, who exudes an icy demeanor that hides a turbulent soul - turned TURBULENT towards his wife too. His coldness cuts me deeper than any wound ever could. Then one day my sister-in-law tells me - he used to love another girl before our marriage and maybe he is in love with her even now and that's my BREAKING POINT. My heart is shattered into pieces, in a way that no one will ever be able pick it up and mend it again. My life is RUINED. Atleast that's what I think. Little did I knew - beneath his harsh exterior lies a heart burdened by secrets-secrets that mirror my own. In this twisted tale of pain and longing, will we be able to break the chains of our past and find solace in each other, or are we destined to remain strangers in a marriage built on silence?
