Her Accidental Forever by Angel_SR_Doom

"I can't marry you, Sir. This is not the way I want to be tied down into married life." She whispers, her voice trembling under the weight of her own breaking world. Her eyes are swollen with tears, her soul frayed at the edges. "But I don't think you have any other option left rather than accepting the contract. So, just agree with my decision or believe me, you won't like the consequences." He replies coldly, every word cutting deeper than the last. There is no remorse in his voice. No softness in his eyes. Just control. Just a warning. . . . He is not just her professor. He is a feared business mogul as well, known for his ruthless decisions and lack of mercy. She is a single mother, desperately trying to protect her son and survive the past she thought she had buried long ago. But when he uncovers her deepest, most dangerous secret, one that could destroy her life in a heartbeat: he doesn't give her the chance to explain. He gives her a choice: marry him under the terms of a cold, emotionless contract... or watch her world collapse. Bound by fear. Tied by power. A marriage that was never meant to be anything more than a deal. But what happens when a lifeless contract begins to stir emotions neither of them asked for? When buried scars surface... And when the lines between right and wrong blur inside the walls of a forced relationship? This is not a story of love at first sight. This is a story of control, consequences, and finding strength in the very place she was meant to break.

Durga - A Spirit Unbroken by Mayaprapancham

At eighteen, she was betrayed by the very people who should have protected her sold into a house where women are stripped of their will and forced to serve under the cruel mask of survival. What followed was years of torment, beatings, humiliation, and the slow erasure of her voice. She did not live; she endured. But endurance can only last so long. Behind every forced smile, every silenced scream, she nurtures a single truth: she will not die within those walls. Her escape is not a dream it is a promise she makes to herself every night. Yet freedom is never simple. When her path collides with a man whose past is as fractured as her own, a new struggle begins. He is pulled toward her shadow without understanding why, but she scarred by betrayal and bound by fear cannot bring herself to believe in the tenderness she has longed for all her life. Caught between her past that still claws at her, a present that cages her, and an uncertain future that tempts her. She faces questions that cut deeper than chains: Will she find a way to break free? Will she allow herself to trust what her heart has always craved? Or will the house of shadows tighten its grip, binding her forever? Some stories aren't about survival alone. They're about what a soul dares to dream, even in the darkest prison. This is my first story. I request every reader to just spend their little time to open my book and read Please support me guys.........

"𝐉𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐮𝐧𝐤𝐢 𝐚𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐢... 𝐚𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐤𝐚𝐛𝐡𝐢 𝐛𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐢 𝐧𝐚𝐡𝐢." KUBER Rana, 35, is the CEO of the 'RANA Empire'. But his life was never simple as he was only nineteen when the weight of the Rana Empire and the care of his four little brothers fell upon his shoulders. He became not just their elder brother, but their loving mother, their coolest friend, and their strictest father. Under Kuber's guidance, the Rana Brothers built an empire of power and respect-a family bound by unshakable loyalty. They fight for each other, live for each other, and would die for each other without hesitation. The RANA Brothers are ruthless. Powerful, merciless, and feared by everyone. They are unstoppable-tied together by a bond stronger than blood itself. But when the women are destined for them, step into their lives, everything begins to change. Will these women understand the love, loyalty, and madness that binds the brothers together-or will they destroy the home Kuber built with his wife, Varnika, and the four men who are more his sons than his siblings? Because when the RANA Brothers fall in love, it isn't gentle. It isn't romance. It is possession. It is obsession. It is a war they will scorch the world to win... And they will do it together. Because their brotherhood made them kings but their love will make them sinners.

In Farmstead Village, I thought I understood love... until it destroyed everything. When I saved a wounded wolf, I ignored every warning, drawn to his piercing eyes and the secrets they hide. But the night he transformed into a man, my world shattered. His voice was thunder, his fury a storm, and his words branded my soul: 'Welcome to your worst nightmare.' Now, with danger closing in and my heart caught in the crossfire, I must face the truth-did I save a beast, or unleash the king of monsters? ************ Lightning tore across the heavens the night Beauty stumbled into the path of King Tan Lee - the merciless Lycan ruler whose name made even monsters bow. She was human, the daughter of his greatest enemy, and the cursed girl whispered to bring the end of the world. Yet when her eyes met his, something ancient stirred - a bond neither prophecy nor pride could deny. As the realms fracture and the dead claw their way back to life, witches twist into abominations, and Desmond, the long-banished Master of Chaos, awakens from his slumber, fate binds Beauty and the Lycan King in a storm of love and ruin. She is the lightning born to shatter darkness; he, the darkness destined to crave her light. But in a world ruled by blood and betrayal, even love can become a weapon - and the storm they unleash may either unite four kingdoms... or burn them all to ash. **** "She was born to destroy the world. He was born to rule it. Together, they might burn it down."😛😩 One or two Chapters will be added weekly

There, she meets Ved, who saves her from a deadly wolf attack. But Ved is hiding something. Something dark. Aditi is warned to stay away, but the pull is too strong. The deeper she digs into her past, the more she realizes that her family was entangled in something far more dangerous than she ever imagined. And now she is, too. As forgotten secrets resurface and shadows close in, Aditi must make a choice-walk away or unlock the truth that could change everything, even if it means facing the darkness herself.
