They know they are far from perfect, but in each other's beautifully imperfect world, they fit just right. Neil Ekaraj Oberoi - A ruthless king to the world, but a playful child in front of her. Aarohi Sharma - Reserved with her emotions, yet a relentless chatterbox when she's with him. To outsiders, their dynamic is baffling-so contradictory, it's almost as if they have dual personalities.

Until She is Mine by Estrellaamante9

Dhruv Rajput was a man who never lost-except when it came to her. Cold, ruthless, and dangerously possessive, he built his empire with an iron fist, never expecting love to bring him to his knees. But from the moment he saw Ishnavi, he knew-she was his. No escape. No negotiations. Just *his*. Ishnavi, sweet yet stubborn, never believed in fairytales. She challenged him, pushed back against his obsession, and refused to be just another possession. But love with Dhruv was never gentle-it was fire, chaos, and passion wrapped into one. He was everywhere, inescapable, relentless in his pursuit of her heart. And now, no matter how much she claimed to need space, she always found herself back in his arms. Because fighting him was useless... when she had already lost herself to him. "You don't get to decide when you walk away, Ishnavi. Because from the moment I laid eyes on you... you were mine." 💬 "Run all you want, hide all you want-but remember this, sweetheart, I'll always find you." 💬 "Why do you keep acting like I belong to you?!" 🔥 "Because you do. You just haven't accepted it yet." 💬 "I don't trust people around you." 😤 "Oh, so now you don't trust me either?" 🔥 "Sweetheart, I trust you. It's the rest of the world I want to burn down." 💬 "If you ever think of leaving me, Ishnavi... take me with you."
