Mature

Meera Rajput knows what she needs in life, and a boyfriend isn't one of them. Between struggling to pay rent and reining her sex-crazed little sister, Meera doesn't need any more complications in her life. So when her visiting cousin, Riya, suggests that a chance interview with billionaire Ezra Agent can lead to something more, Meera pays no heed to her teasing, knowing that her relationship with Ezra will never pass professional lines. She can blush and dream about it all she wants, but there's no way that her dream will ever be a reality...

Or so she thinks. 

When a chance interaction at her graduation brings Meera to the realization that Ezra is undoubtedly interested in her, she's not sure what to think. He's rich, handsome, and the kindest man that she's ever met, but falling in love with Ezra brings back Meera's physical insecurities, as well as other issues. Without Riya's support, Meera finds herself getting strangled with the daily tasks of a new graduate. Add in a new family member, a lawsuit, and a death, can Meera lift her head and face the new challenges? Or will she hide from them, just as she's always had, and lose the one good thing that's ever happened to her?

As the second eldest son of one of the world's richest families, life had always been in his control. Money, power, and simplicity were all that mattered. Until a pair of ocean blue eyes met his hazel ones, and his world shifted. A single glance. A fleeting moment. But the spark it left behind was undeniable. Days turned into weeks, then months. Casual encounters became café meet-ups, then something deeper. Love found its way in. But love doesn't always last. On what should have been the happiest morning of his life, Dev received a single message. "We're over." No explanations. No warnings. Just an end. And Ivara Shekhawat? Elegant, fierce, yet soft-hearted-she was a mix of an angel and a devil. Love was never meant for her, not when her own family saw her as a burden. But Dev made her believe in the impossible. For the first time, she had someone who made her feel cherished. For the first time, she dreamed. Until she was forced to destroy it all. That was five years ago. Now, fate plays its cruelest trick. A high-end restaurant. A marriage proposal. A man who never forgot. A woman who never stopped hurting. Dev walks in, expecting just another business dinner for his brother's proposal. Instead, he finds her-dressed in a waitress's uniform, standing before him like a ghost from the past. Coincidence? Or a twisted game of destiny? The past is still there, lingering in the air between them. The pain, the longing, the unanswered questions. The fire never died-it was only buried under five years of unresolved emotions, the fire has now re ignited, but now with flames of revenge and sickening desires. Will love get a second chance? Or will it get destroyed under this new borne Fire? (Sequel to 'Arranged

𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐃 𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐃𝐄 by meerasbookshelf

"Kitni ajeeb baat hai na... mujhe do baar pyaar hua... aur dono hi baar ek hi insaan se." Shivansh Rajvanshi never believed in love. To him, it was just a distraction-something meant for weak hearts, not for men like him. Ruthless in business, fiercely loyal to his family, and proud of the empire he built, he had no time for emotions. But then Meera Sharma happened. She wasn't part of his plan. She was chaos in his perfectly controlled world-soft yet stubborn, broken yet brave. And worst of all, she made him feel. Twice. The first time, when she walked into his life. The second, when he finally saw the depth of her soul. "Tumhe mujhse nafrat kyun nahi hoti, Meera?" "Kyunki nafrat bhi tabhi hoti hai jab dil mein koi jagah ho... aur Ansh, tumne kabhi mujhe apne dil mein jagah hi nahi di." She was the only one who dared to call him Ansh-a name that softened his edges, a name that made him hers. But love was never meant to be easy for them. Meera carried wounds she refused to show, and Shivansh... he didn't know how to love without possession, without control. "Pehli baar tab, jab maine tumhe dekha... aur doosri baar tab, jab maine tumhe samjha." But love isn't just about falling-it's about holding on, about choosing each other over and over again. Will Shivansh be able to heal the woman who hides behind her silence? And will Meera trust him enough to let herself be loved? A story of pain, healing, and a love so deep, it refuses to be forgotten. Join Shivansh and Meera on a journey where love isn't just an emotion-it's a battle, a redemption, and sometimes, the only thing that can save you.
