☆⁠▽⁠☆ "What are you doing here?" he asks me, his eyes raking over my drenched body and widening. Instantly, he opens the door further, allowing me to slip inside and grab a towel from somewhere, handing it to me. My sobs may have taken a backseat for now but the urge to break down in someone's arms who cares about me hasn't receded yet. I came here to find my best friend and instead, I look into the eyes of her much older, much handsome brother and a tear slips down my eyes and in a second, so does my bravado. My knees buckle and the ground beneath me slips as I fall with a raged cry. "I didn't know where else to go." ☆⁠▽⁠☆ Anaya Rai, the wife to one of the wealthiest conglomerates in India is happy. Or as happy as she can pretend to be until one day everything topples over and she shows up at her best friend's house, or rather, her best friend's brother's house. Ayaansh Singhania, the to-be CEO of the largest industrial estate is determined, driven and well, much to his parents' dismay, also single, which puts him at a risk of not inheriting the company he has dreamt for for years. So, when an opportunity strikes, should he listen to his brain and risk marrying his rival's ex-wife for his inheritance or listen to his heart and help out the woman he's obsessed with for years? But, what's stopping him from doing both? Mistakes, drunken promises, revenge, dirty secrets yet just one way to end: a happy epilogue. ᴛʜɪs ʙᴏᴏᴋ ʙᴇʟᴏɴɢs ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ. ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴏʀ ᴘʟᴀɢɪᴀʀɪsᴇ ɪᴛ. any sort of media used in this book does not belong to me unless said so. credits to the rightful owners. ☆⁠▽⁠☆ 5k on 31st July 2024 (WHATTT OMGGGGG!!!!) 10k on 12th September 2024 25k on 29th September 2024 50k on 24th October 2024 100k on 17th November 2024 150k on 19th December 2024 200k on 2nd February 2025

He kisses me so sweetly that my heart can't help but skip a beat. My hands run over his chest and up, until I've got my arms wrapped around his neck, the tips of my fingers at his nape. I pull him closer, desperate for more, but he pulls away, the smile melting off his fac "The next time you want this, you come to me," he tells me, his expression hardening. "Stay away from Rohit. He's not for you." I blink in confusion as he lowers me to the floor and cages me in. I look into his eyes, my racing heart beating in a different rhythm than before. "What are you... what are you talking about? " He smiles humorlessly and brushes my hair out of my face, his gaze cold. "If you want to become some rich guy's mistress, then be mine. It's fucking embarrassing to see you flirt with him. If I ever catch you behaving this way again, I'll fire you. No one will be able to save you."

After a fierce battle, he claimed my kingdom-and my fate. I am bound by duty to my people, but it is a duty that demands the greatest sacrifice. To save my kingdom, I must marry the man who conquered it. One bound by the crown, the other by my heart. When the king of Suryagarh attacked our kingdom, he did not just conquer our lands-he shattered countless lives. Thousands of widows, children left without fathers, and girls who were only beginning to understand the world. The loss was beyond words. And yet, to save them, I had no choice but to throw myself into the flames of my own sacrifice. I sent the king a marriage proposal through my father. My father was always against it and he must have hidden the truth about me from him. I don't know what he said, but I couldn't back down. I couldn't let my people suffer more. They needed me. Sitting before the holy fire, ready to take vows with my husband, not as a wife but as a mistress, I was shedding silent tears beneath my veil-not because of the sacrifice but because of the price I will pay for it. It all began with his words: "I always loved you. It was always you, never someone else." But the reality was different: "So you were always a manwhore?" "Yes, and you are my whore." And it ends with: "You promised to stay with me during this time. I am still waiting for you. Please... do not let me down." This is a story of a time when women were nothing but objects to be used and discarded, tied down to the bed by the chains of society and sweet taste. But the queen made sure none of them were deprived of their rights. Her legacy was one of hope, as she become the first queen to free courtesans from the shackles of slavery, granting them the freedom they deserve. She married the powerful king of Hind to save her kingdom, but in doing so, she never expected he would become the very reason to turn her life upside down. Mature content included!
