Silent Desires by jyothi__nagaraj

In a conservative South Indian college, a 27-year-old lecturer and a 19-year-old student from a traditional family navigate a forbidden love. Their journey is filled with romance, jealousy, passion, and anger as they battle societal norms and their own emotions, leading to moments of intense connection and heart-wrenching conflicts. Their eyes met, and the world around them seemed to fade. For a moment, it was just the two of them, the music, and the unspoken connection between them. "Sir, this is..." she began, but he cut her off. "Arjun," he said softly. "Just Arjun tonight." Her lips parted in surprise, but she nodded. "Okay... Arjun. "You look beautiful tonight," he murmured, his voice so soft she almost didn't hear him. Her breath hitched, and she felt her cheeks grow warm. "Thank you... Arjun." He smiled at her use of his name, and for a moment, they forgot about their surroundings. As the song ended, there was a brief shuffle on the dance floor as students moved around. In the commotion, someone bumped into Ananya, causing her to lose her balance. Arjun instinctively reached out to steady her, pulling her close. The sudden movement brought their faces mere inches apart. Before either of them could process what was happening, their lips brushed in a fleeting, accidental kiss. Time seemed to freeze. Ananya's eyes widened in shock, while Arjun's grip on her waist tightened slightly before he quickly stepped back. "I... I didn't mean to-" he began, his voice filled with panic. "It's okay," she interrupted, her face flushed with embarrassment and something she couldn't quite name. They glanced around, relieved to see that no one had noticed the incident. "Maybe we should... step outside for some fresh air," Arjun suggested, his composure barely intact. Ananya nodded, following him out to the garden area, where the cool night air helped calm their racing hearts. ---------------------------------------------------

But a job comes with a degree, and there are still six months left for that. The best friend is about to get married, and there's none house better than that of an upcoming wedding one to stay. She can keep her share of secrets, and still live there without having to explain what had went wrong in her life. For how long though is the question when your best friend's brother is not only someone who gets on your nerves, but also someone so beautiful that you can't resist as much as you try. Kabir Verma. Graphical engineer. Living a bachelor's life in Bangalore. A simple sorted guy. At least that's what he thought before meeting Aarohi when he arrived home prior three months for his sister's wedding. He had never thought, any one in the world could make your world of emotions as upside down, as Aarohi did his. And he hated every ounce of it. That's what he told himself anyways, until he had figured out, that he can't keep away from her, and she can't resist him for long. But how long could such a forbidden attraction continue, especially in India. Especially when she's your sister's best friend. Especially when it turns into love. Amidst the celebration of an upcoming wedding, feelings get lost, emotions whirl around, romance turns forbidden, and hearts are found.

Prologue " I want to tell you something important", a beautiful girl said, playing with her hair nervously,with a shy smile on her face. " Get out!!", the man said in a rude manner, making the girl shocked. " What??", she said with shocked expressions. " Don't you have manners?? I am your Mentor and not your friend ...how dare you enter my cabin without permission", he said,in a rude tone. She was shocked seeing his rude behaviour towards her. She thought everything had changed between them and she meant something to him,not just an intern under him. " I am sorry, Sir", she said, with an expressionless face. " Did you check the new patient's medical history?", he asked her in a professional tone. " No", she replied softly. " Then what the hell are you doing here?? You have no other work except roaming here and there. Go and finish your work otherwise I will be forced to remove you from the internship program", he said rudely, making her feel humiliated. " I will not repeat the same mistake, Sir", she said and left his cabin. As soon as she left his cabin, a lone tear slipped from her left eye. She wiped the tear with a stern face and left from there without looking behind. She is a Bubbly Intern and He is her Arrogant Mentor........ Will love blossom between them??

Forced To Marry A Mafia | 18+ by SereneDamsel

(My other books r so much better 💔. Will delete this SOON.) "Why me?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. She backed up until the cold wall pressed against her, but he didn't stop, closing in until there was almost no space between them. He leaned down, his face inches from hers, breath warm against her cheek as he spoke, his voice low and almost too close. "Sorry, darling," he murmured, his tone soft and unsettling. "You just happened to be in the wrong place... at the wrong time." Aiswarya, a 20-year-old college girl, never imagined her life would take such a dark turn within a single night. Abducted by Arjun, a dangerous mafia leader, she's forced into a twisted marriage against her will. Arjun's attraction to her is undeniable, but it isn't love. Aiswarya is terrified, trapped in a nightmare she can't escape, while Arjun's possessive need for control starts to blur the lines of his desires. ❗WARNING:- IT'S CRINGE.❗ #1 - Forced Marriage

A tale of true love. "The depth of the sky's blue is as our love, that only over the years to we notice the strength of the hue. Up close it is as clear as pure water, yet when we see the miles it is the blue of fairytale dreams." A tale of trust. "No matter how many days it takes, he would keep up his word. He would definitely come for me if not today then tomorrow. After all, trust is the basis of our relationship." A tale of conspiracies. "Will we not find one idea to shatter the bond? According to her, life is a mirage, filled with illusions and no reality. Will this not make things easy for us?" A tale of betrayals.
