"Get out," I whispered again, looking into his deep brown eyes. His brows furrowed. "I can't leave you in this condition." A lone tear slipped from my eye. "You're the only person responsible for this condition." He swallowed hard and lay down beside me. "I said-" I tried to get up, but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me into his embrace again. His arms wrapped tightly around me. I stopped struggling. His warmth, his scent... after four years, I finally felt at peace. My face was buried in his chest. "Why aren't you leaving me?" I whispered. He looked down, his gaze intense. "Because I can't," he admitted. "I'm not able to." I bit my lip, my heart aching. ___________________________________ "You look beautiful," I said, tucking a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. "Come up with something new. Half of your guests already used that line," she muttered. I stared into her kohl-lined eyes. "Is that so?" She hummed in response. "Then how about this-" I leaned close to her ear. "You look like mine," I whispered before pressing a soft kiss against her earlobe. She shuddered. I was about to trail kisses down her neck when she whispered, "I'm sleepy." I chuckled and pulled back. She strolled toward the staircase, taking slow steps, struggling with her four-inch pencil heels and the heavy saree. Will she ask for my help? Nope. I sighed and walked toward her. --- GRUMPY × SUNSHINEComplete
Our Paradise of Hate
BOOK 2 OF THE PARADISE SERIES Some stories don't begin with a spark. They begin with a scar. Rehaan Jaisingh never believed in second chances. He believed in power, in silence, keeping his heart locked behind the iron gates carved by betrayal. As the heir of Jaisingh empire he has been raised with cold ambition and colder truths. Love for him was a weakness. A luxury that a lonely couldn't afford. And yet, once upon a time. He dared to love- wildly, recklessly, completely. Naina. The girl with monsoon eyes and wildfire in her veins. His best friends. His undying. His destruction. Until she shattered him. Years passed. People changed. But what remained. Pain. It matured. And when fate threw them together not as lovers, not as friends, but as enemies bound by forced marriage. Old wounds cracked open like fault lines. They were fire and ash now. Through their rage and regret, two storms were trapped in the same story, arching each other with unspoken history and unreliable tension. But neither of them knew, what was buried beneath the ruins of their shared pasts where truths were darker than either imagined. Lies told in hushed voices. Manipulation rooted in bloodlines. And love that refused to die no matter how brutally it was buried. It's a war story- of trust against time. Because some love stories don't have a clean beginnings. They begin where everything ends.
TOXIC
"Love wasn't supposed to be my downfall. But she was never just love-she was an addiction." The room reeked of whiskey and regret. Riyaan Singh Malhotra leaned against the windowpane, the city lights reflecting in his cold grey eyes. His grip on the crystal glass tightened as he watched the rain lash against the glass. She was gone. Again. Rivian Rajvansh wasn't supposed to mean anything. She was a foolish girl with stars in her eyes and a laugh that could make the world stop. Soft, delicate-completely unfit for the world he ruled. And yet, she had walked into his life like a sunrise breaking through an endless night. She had touched him, not just with her hands, but with her heart-something no one had dared to do before. He had warned her. Told her a hundred times that love had no place in his world. That he was a monster, a man drenched in blood and sins she could never imagine. But she stayed. Until she didn't. Now, he was chasing shadows, haunted by the ghost of her laughter and the taste of her lips-both his salvation and his destruction. She was the only addiction he could never quit. The only weakness he had. And Riyaan Singh Malhotra didn't do weaknesses. --- Tropes Included: ✔ Forced Marriage - A contract binds them, but emotions complicate everything. ✔ MML Obsessed with FML - She is his addiction, his weakness, his everything. ✔ Sunshine × Grumpy - She is the light; he is the storm. ✔ Age Gap - He is older, ruthless, and dominant; she is young, fiery, and innocent. ✔ Dark Romance - Possession, control, and an all-consuming love that blurs the line between obsession and devotion.

She stayed without demanding love. But somewhere between late-night silences, unspoken protection, lingering touches, and a bond neither of them saw coming... they begin falling for each other.

RUDRANSH'S POSSESSION || 18+
Her back hit the bookshelf with a soft thud, sending a few books tumbling to the floor. Rudransh didn't flinch. His gaze was locked on her lips, one hand wrapped firmly around her waist, the other slowly dragging up her spine. "You think I brought you here just to read?" he whispered, voice rough. Nitya's breath caught as his thumb brushed the curve beneath her chin. "Then why did you?" He leaned closer, lips barely grazing her ear. "Because this is the one place no one dares interrupt me." Then, before she could say another word, his mouth crushed onto hers-demanding, raw, possessive. Books watched. Shadows danced. Her hands found his shirt, fingers fisting the fabric as his teeth grazed her lower lip. And in that moment, nothing mattered but the taste of secrets and sin. ********************************************* Tropes Forced Marriage Age gap Grumpy × Sunshine MML is obsessed with MFL with capital O Characters FL - Nitiya Maheshwari (26 years) An extrovert, carefree, and a famous sketcher.

I can promise you respect, but I'll never be able to give you the place of a wife. However, I can be your friend, for the time being." "Good," Aashi replied straightforwardly, "I expect nothing more than privacy and space from you. We won't interfere in each other's lives." "Agreed. I'll draft a contract for this marriage and send it to your place. Please review it carefully and sign it," Aayan responded.

Accidentally Yours. Season 1
Harsha : "Come in." He said, not even bothering to look up from his work. He was wearing a beige linen suit with a crisp white shirt underneath.Okay, not bad," I thought, even though he looked hot. Not that I would ever admit it, of course! Akshu : "Yes, sir, do you need something? You called me in the middle of the celebrations-not that I'm complaining or anything." I clearly stated it sarcastically, showing my displeasure at being called out of all the classroom representatives. He finally looked up and locked his gaze on me, staring without blinking for what felt like minutes. We held each other's eyes, as if time itself had come to a standstill around us. His intense gaze held something I couldn't quite describe, and slowly, he stood up, still saying nothing. The air between us crackled with unspoken tension. He slowly began to take steps toward me-step, step, step... I instinctively started to back away, gulping as he closed the distance between us, striding toward me like I was his prey. He finally reached me, pinning me against the wall, and just as I was about to say something, he leaned in closer......... Harsha : "Shhhhhh." I was scared, my heart racing like a drum. Suddenly, he leaned in closer, his face inches from mine, and...
