Her escape is no fairytale. Her husband is not a savior. But he's the very powerful person she needs
He marries her for her wealth-nothing more. And she marries him for her freedom-her last chance at escape.
But the chains of the past don't break so easily.
Arjun singhania-the name alone is enough to strike fear. He doesn't believe in love. He doesn't believe in mercy. And he certainly didn't marry her out of choice. This was business. A contract signed by their mothers long ago. A transaction where her property is the price, and she is just a pawn.
Two strangers. One forced marriage. A love that was never meant to exist.
She only wanted freedom. He only wanted control.
But fate has other plans.
Can Aaisha break through his walls? Will Arjun ever see her as more than a contract? And in a world where betrayal lurks in every corner, will she ever get the life she truly deserves?
This is a story of pain, survival, and a love that takes its time to bloom.

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.

Wounded King || 18+
His gaze locked into mine, intense, unwavering. "I need a verbal answer, little rose." I could hardly find my voice, but it escaped in a trembling whisper, "Y-yes... Abhii." In the next breath, he pulled my flush against him, his hand gripping the back of my neck. His lips found mine, gentle only for the first second before deepening. His kiss was commanding, urgent-sucking on my lips as if he'd never let me go. I tried to match him, to kiss him back, but his force, his hunger was overwhelming. All I could do was yield, surrender, let him take control. Wounded King is connected to the world of Shattered Silk, but it is a complete story on its own and can be read without reading the first book. Abhishek Rana never wanted a wife - only a name to offer someone with no one left. When he finds Naina, orphaned and alone, marrying her feels like fulfilling a duty... nothing more. "Not a single chapter wasted-every page pulls you deeper into a slow-burn that won't let you go." A slow-burn, age-gap romance between two broken souls forced into an unwanted marriage - and a love neither of them saw coming.Complete
