"𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚. 𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙜𝙤𝙙𝙙𝙖𝙢𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙛𝙖𝙘𝙚." ------- Vegas. What could go wrong? Party. Music. Dopamine and that undeniable attraction between two strangers. Both of them agreed to keep it casual as they enjoyed each others company, even if it was just for 12 hours. But when Meher Arora and Aarav Rathore eventually meet 8 months later, it is not as friends but as rivals from two famous companies with a long history of competition in the cutthroat industry. Everything crumbles into pieces when they find out that they are obliged to get married since their ancestors have signed a contract. As they continue their futile attempts to escape their unwanted matrimony, they can't deny the sparks that fly among them. How long can they turn a blind eye to that magnetic pull present between them to this day? Can they overcome their differences and find love in the midst of chaos? Or will they let their pride and prejudice ruin their chances of happiness? [Mature content ahead. Minors do not interact.]

AATISH-E-ISHQ #1 ❝𝐇𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞❞. From entering into a forced arranged marriage at a young age to becoming a father. From becoming a father to burying his wife. And from burying his wife to giving his daughter the love of both the parents. The famous business tycoon has witnessed everything in his life. After spending 38 years, he never thought he would find love. But when he did... "Jee karta hai poori qaynaat uske qadmon mein laakar rakhdu", He confessed. ("I want to lay the entire universe at her feet") She was a 28-year-old rising event manager. That's when fate decided to spice up her life, making it a bit scandalous. "Bohot Mohabbat karta hu tumse, be-inteha", I shook my head. ("I love you so much, so much") "Hamare darmiyan bhaari umr ka farq hai. Aap samajhte kyu nahi". ("There is a huge difference of age between us. Why don't you understand?"). He could never look at anyone like the way he looks at her. To him, she is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen. Every time he sees her, he intends to get closer but she... She hides from him. She denies it, but the truth is, she is falling in love with him. "When he looks at me, I swear I can't breathe", I let out a heavy breath. The fear of the age gap, the fear of society, the fear of all the questions that will be raised on her character. Will these fears let them come closer? Or they'll never be together? _________________________________________ Want to know more? Then dive into their story to know what's gonna happen next.

North Star by smidorii

In the tranquil waters of Hawai'i, Hokulani and Nikau wonder if it's possible for a song to go on forever. ***** For as long as Hokulani can remember, she's always felt like she's treading water. Everything she loves becomes a means to escape from what's happening around her or, worse, the unsteadiness of her mind. She even finds her passion for music slipping through her grasp, though she tries her best not to completely let that go. And even though the arrival of an up-and-coming musician from Aotearoa causes waves, she's unable to fully enjoy her life. Unable to release that breath she feels like she's been holding onto ever since her father passed away. When her family is hit with complicated news, the Kahananui woman must make difficult decisions for themselves, including one Hokulani isn't sure she fully understands. But even when their choices are made, they bring up memories they've all been trying their best to forget, forcing them to face the reality deep inside the family's hearts. Hokulani takes refuge in the comfort her shared feelings with Nikau bring, but just because she wants something, doesn't mean it's enough. She knows she has a lot to work through on her own, and with the understanding that his year on the island will eventually come to an end, the two of them spend endless nights wondering if they can somehow make a song go on forever. » featured on @wattpad @romance @ContemporaryLit and @Ambassadors « All rights reserved © Stephanie Midorii, smidorii

The Writer's Gradebook | Closed Indefinitely by akaprocrastiNATION

*HARSH REVIEWER WARNING! NO LONGER ACCEPTING REQUESTS* We all know how Wattpad can be. Jaw-droppingly beautiful stories get less than a thousand reads while flaming piles of garbage riddled with cliches and contrivances that barely pass for plot reach into the millions and shoot to the top of the hotlists, courtesy of the mysterious and elusive algorithm no one can crack. Some days it seems like Wattpad's "algorithm" has a weird fetish for awful grammar and bland, overused tropes. But fear not, brave readers! For we here at akaprocrastiNATION are prepared to voyage into the murky depths of this vast site and return with wisdom for you. The ultimate knowledge: which books are worth reading and which should be preceded with utmost caution. Gear up for a wild ride. There will be underrated gems... and horrific literature nightmares. Disclaimer: The Gradebook contains the unabashed opinions of its host reviewers. Our opinions do not necessarily reflect objective fact, although we will back all judgment with as much evidence as possible. If wandering readers happen to be offended or find distaste with anything we have said, we plead "opinionated rando on the internet" and do not claim responsibility for emotional damage.

Out of the Blue by nyraaaaa______

"you thought I would love you? look who just had the biggest misconception in their life." I said laughing on the outside but the pain that was circulating through my heart was so immense that I couldn't hide the tears which were forming in my eyes. "you don't know why I did what I did" she said. yeah how will I know. I am the dumbest person on this planet to even think what she had for me was true. "But this is not where it ends. It will end only when I marry you. Mark my words Aanya" I said throwing a punch right beside her face, on the net behind her. ___________________________________________ Aanya Verma, an average Indian girl trying to survive her college life, where she unexpectedly encounters her school enemy. the story takes place when Aanya finds out that her so-called enemy from school is her first one night stand. Vineet Singhal, a calm and sophisticated person. the ever so quiet Vineet loses his calm the moment he comes in contact with this particular girl who knows nothing but how to get on his nerves. At some point, just looking at her face is enough for him to lunge on her like a bull. This complication between them has been caused by a certain someone at a very young age. Both of their minds are filled with hurt for each other. To find out more, dive into their world along with me. Nyraa. ___________________________________________ Story tropes: • enemies to lovers • hate to love • school life to college life to adults • fun banter date of start- 4/3/24 date of end-
