A marriage is like a rose; a romantic keepsake having the combination of thorns and petals. The red hue of the petals symbolizes love, and passion and is soft to touch. The thorns that lay on the stem, however, represent adversity and sacrifice.
Destiny had something else planned for two individuals who were least interested in the idea of marriage. The opposites desired love, but nothing near to marriage. But, their roads converged due to their parents.
One believed in love but feared it.
And the other didn't have time for it.
Descriptions never do any justice.

Echoes of Royalty
A distinguished curse, a beautiful echo of mesmerising sins, a delicately wrapped bouquet of lies. Such meaningless imperfections blindfolding the sorrows of the night, erasing the wrath of guilt, yet trapping, deceiving the soul thirsting for love. Perhaps just for a trifling insignificant moment, the three petals of the lucky flower symbolise love, not four nor strangely five, but those three hated petals. Inevitably in such an illusion, puzzles do not need to have the right pieces, only one remains, and yes, it is the right one, the special one, the unattainable one but the one the soul seeks, desperately yearns for, without which tomorrow does not arise!

Red Roses: Her Replaced Groom
"Red Roses" It's not just a story conveying love but every emotion that comes with it. Be it pain or happiness, struggles or miseries, longing or sacrifices and trust or hope. In this beautiful world of fictional romance, I'm adding the one I've written with every emotion I'm capable of portraying. Yes! I'm introducing you to Sage Evans & Adriel Willows, two strangers who became each other's better half overnight. One has taken the word "love" for granted, escaping it in the worst way, thinking of it as a sacrifice for the good. The other one has redefined the word "love" so deeply and sincerely that it will take your breath away. -A love that gives you freedom but would still cage you in ways you'll never think of. -A love that's boundless & unconditional, one that comes to you when you least expect it. For me, "Red roses" is a story of love that will make you wonder if it could even exist in fictions, let alone in reality?
Affairs Of The Heart
//Please note this story is under heavy construction! Read at your own risk.// If you look for perfection, you'll never be content. ~Leo Tolstoy . . . . . . . A flower is to be always beautiful lest it is cast away. A flower is to be innocent and pure. Delicate in nature, ever to bring squinting smiles to those around. A flower is perfect. Always perfect. She was the perfect embodiment of a flower. Her name, Iris. A thorn is sharp like a knight's blade. It inflicts pain and draws blood if one dares to get close. A thorn protects a flower from the wickedness of the world. A thorn is attached to the king, ever guarding. He was the perfect embodiment of a thorn. His name, Luca. She was an iris in no need of a thorn and he was a thorn in no need of a delicate iris. Thrust together by an arranged marriage, the unlikely pair, the thorn, and the flower must now find a way to co-inhabit in the same garden. Bracing the strength of the winter, will their love and companionship last for the spring season or will the cold betrayal of a parasitic orchid, the overflowing herbicide of lies and the perfect perfection of the Iris trample the delicate budding bloom of their affairs of the heart?Complete
