LOVE BORN FROM OBLIGATION by MOTUNRAYO

After losing her father, 23-year-old Yusrah finds herself trapped in a life that no longer feels like hers - suffocated under the roof of a cruel stepmother and cornered into a marriage she never asked for. With no job, no support, and no escape, her only way out becomes an arranged marriage to a man she's never met... a man whose silence is louder than any vow. Zafar Malik is still grieving - not loudly, but in the quiet, haunting ways only a broken man can. A father first, a CEO second, and a widower always, Zafar has locked his past behind a door no one enters. But when his parents choose Yusrah as a bride for him - a soft-spoken girl with no voice in the matter - he's forced to confront the life he's buried, the daughter he's struggling to raise, and a future he's not sure he wants. She didn't ask for him. He didn't want her. But in a house full of silence, grief, and aching, something begins to grow - slowly, painfully - between a girl learning to breathe and a man trying to remember how. This isn't a love story built on butterflies. It's a story of sacrifice. Of duty. Of aching hearts and second chances. Of a woman becoming a wife in a stranger's home... ... and a man discovering that even after grief, love might still have room to bloom.

𝐊𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐚 ~ 𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐎𝐟 𝐊𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐢 by yublen_writes

Katha was only 25 when she chose her daughter over her husband. Vedant wanted a son. When Vedika was born, he withdrew-never holding her, never celebrating her, never seeing her as more than a burden. So Katha did what generations of women were told not to- she divorced him. She left. She walked away from silence, from a loveless marriage, and from a house that never saw her daughter. She returned home to Kashi, hoping to rebuild something soft, safe, and loving for Vedika. What she didn't expect... was Rudraksh Thakur. Her first love. Her ex boyfriend. The boy who broke her. Now a man who won't stop fighting to earn her back. Where Vedant failed, Rudraksh rises. As a father to Vedika. As a lover to Katha. Because no matter what time took from him-she was always his. But after everything.. he did to her in the past... Will Katha be able to give him a second chance? Will Katha let herself be loved again-by the man who once shattered her? **** "Rudraksh... I have a daughter..." Katha whispered against his lips. His hand slid to her bare waist beneath the saree, pulling her closer, his lips brushing against her neck. Slowly, he began to kiss her there. She gasped, but he didn't stop. "No, Katha..." he murmured, voice low and certain. "Vedika is our daughter." Tropes: • Single Mother x First love • Second Chances • Obsessive but Soft Hero • Small Town / Kashi Romance • Old school Romance

Hope in his shadows by minasjabc

Their marriage was built on family ties, not love or at least, that's what he believed. To him, it was a responsibility. To her, it was everything. She entered the marriage with a heart full of hope, believing that one day, he might return her love. But Zayan Malik had long buried his ability to feel, to connect especially with someone who looked at him with such quiet devotion. Seeing that hope in her eyes, he pulled away not out of cruelty, but to protect her from the hollowness inside him. What he didn't realize was that his silence, his absence, his indifference... would shatter her heart more deeply than any harsh word ever could. And when he left without a goodbye, she thought the pain had reached its peak. Until she discovered she was carrying his child.

Where Love Settles by thanksforthetrauma

Hasna and Aarhan have been married for four years. It wasn't love at first sight-it wasn't even love at all. An arranged marriage turned into a comfortable routine, with their two-year-old daughter Afrah filling their home with laughter. Aarhan Baig is everything Hasna expected him to be: calm, reserved, a man of few words but steady actions. He's a CEO in the world outside, but at home, he's just "Baba"-the man who gives bear hugs that swallow their daughter whole. Possessive, protective, quietly affectionate... he is hers in ways he never says out loud. Hasna, graceful and quiet to the world, hides a playful heart only Afrah ever sees. To everyone else, she is composed. To her husband, she is his niqabi wife-beautiful, the epitome of grace, and his alone. They are comfortable. They are content. But beneath that comfort lies the question they've both avoided-what does it mean to truly love each other? This is not a story of falling in love at first sight. It's the story of falling in love slowly... after the "happily ever after."
