His carefully constructed world shatters when he has a chance encounter with Belle, a woman whose stunning beauty is only matched by the chilling darkness of her true nature. She's less of a damsel and more of a destructive force, a "Belle" with the heart of a "Beast."
Pulled into her chaotic orbit against his will, Jairo finds himself caught between his moral compass and a dangerous, undeniable fascination. Can a quiet man like Jairo ever hope to tame, or even survive, a woman so utterly twisted?

Between juggling chemistry assignments and trying to keep her heart from jumping out of her chest every time her gaze lands on Andre, her charming classmate, things are about to get complicated. Andre's got the whole "nice guy" thing down, but there's a spark in his eyes every time he looks at Iris that has her second-guessing everything she knows about herself.

The Man Behind the Name
Deepika is thirty, tired of hearing about "perfect matches" from family, and secretly convinced she may never find a man who stirs her heart. Until Rudra.

His rare smile stops her breath. And his teasing whisper-Choti-burns hotter than any proposal her family could arrange. Yet Rudra is not who he seems. Beneath the name lies a man with secrets, scars, and an identity that could upend everything. And as distance turns into stolen glances, and stillness turns into fire, Deepika begins to wonder: is this attraction only the body's call, or is it something deeper... something that could change her life forever? A slow-burn romance of mystery, hidden truths, and the unspoken language between two souls.

You had always been just another background character in his eyes- weak, forgettable, an 'extra.' But when everything shifts, you're determined to change that. This isn't just about him, it's to make him regret ever underestimating you. This story won't follow the anime/manga exactly, so don't expect the war arc or other canon events to happen the same way. Think of it as an alternate timeline where things play out differently. If you don't agree with how I write it, that's totally fine but pls don't hate just don't read, tysm. #slowburn :p
