His Arranged Bride by bhoomi_wrts_13

Aarav Malhotra - the reserved and soft-spoken CEO of Malhotra Hotels - has always put family above everything else. Quiet boardrooms and grand hotel projects are easier for him to handle than matters of the heart. Sakshi Sharma - a gentle, kind-hearted primary school teacher - finds joy in the laughter of children and dreams of a simple life filled with love and understanding. When their families arrange their marriage, both are hesitant, bound more by duty than desire. But as shy glances turn into warm conversations and small gestures grow into affection, they begin to discover that maybe, just maybe, fate knows their hearts better than they do. A tale of slow-burn love, emotional connection, and two introverted souls learning to open up - one gentle step at a time. Update on Friday and saturday tropes : * arranged marriage trope * both fell harder * strangers to lovers * age gap (4 years) * supportive in-laws

From their first day at the SCA- College of Law, they're locked in a rivalry that goes beyond textbooks and test scores. It's personal. It's consuming. And neither understands why the other brings out such strong reactions. But when good intentions collide with wounded pride, their carefully constructed worlds begin to crumble.

𝐑𝐮𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐤𝐚 - 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 by authorishika8934

Two weddings. One storm. A thousand whispers. Noorika Rathore had always been the light of the family-gentle, radiant, untouched by storms. But today, as her elder sister's wedding rituals unfold with the shimmer of joy, Noorika's own world shatters. Her groom vanishes without a trace... leaving behind silence heavier than shame. In that moment, when the world looked away in pity, a man stepped into the fire. Rudransh Suryavanshi-the name she had only heard in hushed family conversations, her jija sa's elder brother, the shadow she never expected to see... claimed her hand before the sacred flames. "Main shaadi karunga Noorika se." And just like that, she became his bride. Not out of love, not out of choice-but out of something far more dangerous. Now bound to a man who is as unreadable as the night, Noorika moves through rituals like a ghost wrapped in silk. His silence cuts deeper than words, his gaze holds storms she cannot name. Everyone says he saved her. But then... who ruined her? As two weddings unfold under one sky, buried secrets threaten to rise. Was Rudransh her saviour... Or the puppeteer behind her fall? A story laced with shadows and silences, where not every promise is made of love- and not every saviour wears light.

The Faded Vows by lynk992925

He was waiting outside the OP, there for his student who had been injured during a fight over a phone. As he sat, casually glancing at his own phone, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a baby crying. Curious, he turned toward the sound-and froze. There, outside the pediatric care unit, sat his wife with their son crying in her arms. His heart ached-it had been months since he last saw his son. His gaze shifted to his wife, gently consoling the child. Her face looked tired, pale, and completely drained. Without a second thought, he stood, tears welling in his eyes. Each step he took felt heavy, his chest tightening with every cry from his son. As he neared, he saw her clothes were faded and worn. Her feet were bare, hardened from walking-clearly straight from the farm. His heart clenched. His eyes moved to his son-he had grown so much. She was so focused on calming the baby that she didn't notice him at first. Tears filled her eyes as she held their feverish child close. He softly called her name. Startled, she looked up-and froze. Then she quickly lowered her gaze and tried to get up. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her. She sat back down, turning her face away, quietly wiping her tears. He reached out to take their son. The moment he held him, he felt the heat-his little body was burning with fever. A chill ran through him. After all these months, seeing his child like this was unbearable. He loved his wife and son deeply, but his loyalty to his mother-and obedience to her word-always came first. Between a mother who owned his soul and a wife who held his heart, he was a man torn in a cruel war of love and loyalty. And she-she had given her all to a promise whispered beneath the sacred fire... never knowing that one day, she'd be holding her child, with nothing but a faded vow.
