Unwanted Husband
Dhriti never believed in happy endings. Aarav Kumar was her beginning and her forever, the boy who raised her dreams and loved her like she was the only truth in his world. But fate was crueler than love. He was declared dead, leaving her with a heart that no longer knew how to beat the same way. And then came Arjun Srivastav. A marriage not born from love, but from circumstance. Two strangers forced into a life neither of them asked for. For a long time, their home was nothing but silence, distance, and unspoken pain. Until one night changed everything. A helpless mute baby, barely ten months old, was found abandoned in Arjun's arms. A child with no voice, and no one to call his own. Something in Dhriti broke when she saw him. And in that breaking, a choice was made. They adopted him. What started as responsibility slowly became something neither of them could ignore. A reason to stay. A reason to try. A reason to look at each other beyond the walls they built. But love is never simple when the past still breathes in the present. One heart still belongs to memory. One heart is learning to feel. And a child without a voice might just become the reason two broken souls learn how to be a family. Because sometimes, healing doesn't come from love first. It comes from learning to stay. #1 in softcore on 06|09|26 Mafia ×Doctor Oprhan × Billionaire Forced marriage Slow burn Obsessed for eachother Past trauma Hidden Identity

A Thread Of Broken Promises
𝐒𝐀𝐀𝐍𝐕𝐈 𝐊𝐀𝐏𝐎𝐎𝐑 A simple girl in her twenties. An event manager by passion, though her parents never truly supported her dreams. As the middle child, she grew up in the shadows of neglect, surviving on silent compromises and unspoken loneliness. Yet despite everything, she believed in love. Not the fairytale kind. Just the kind where someone finally chose her. But fate had cruelty stitched into its hands. One scandal. One marriage. And suddenly she became the wife of her best friend's elder brother... a man who looked at her like she was the ruin of his entire existence. The marriage she once dreamed of turned into a cage lined with silence, hatred, and broken promises. "The eyes that once held warmth for me now burned with so much hatred... it felt like they could burn me to ashes just by looking at me." 𝐃𝐄𝐕𝐑𝐀𝐉 𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐇 𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐑 The eldest son of the Rathore family. Cold. Reserved. Dominating. The kind of man women dreamed about but could never truly reach. He was not heartbroken. He was simply incapable of love. Or at least, that's what he believed. Until her. Until the girl he never wanted became the only one capable of making him feel. But love, when poisoned by betrayal, becomes something far more dangerous than hatred. It becomes destruction. Revenge. A wound so deep that even love starts tasting like poison. 👑 A ruthless CEO who can't let go. 🔥 Enemies-to-lovers. Forced marriage. Royal secrets. Slow-burn desire. ⚠️ Disclaimer This story is a work of fiction.

The soon-to-be CEO-feared, respected, and dangerously unreadable. A man with no space for softness in his world, no room for attachment-except for the siblings he'd burn empires to protect. Cold. Calculated. Manipulative. He hides a brutal past behind gritted silence, sharp control, and a terrifying aura that keeps everyone at arm's length. 𝐀𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡 CEO of AS Company. A ruthless, unyielding force in the boardroom. But behind the icy facade? She's loyal. Protective. A little unhinged when angry, secretly soft for the people she loves-and a chronic overthinker who hides every emotional crack behind her ambition. ‧͙⁺˚･༓☾☽༓･˚⁺‧͙ What happens when a man who feels nothing and a woman who feels everything collide? When obsession meets recklessness? When silence meets fire? Because the moment they cross paths- It's not love. It's war. And their union? A slow, seductive game of destruction.

While it opens with a hookup, the story is not necessarily driven by explicit scenes-but by what follows after: silence, memory, power, danger, and the wounds people learn to live with. Expect strategic conflicts, ruthless alliances, and relationships shaped by their environment rather than harm between the leads. This is a story where the bleeding stops-but the scar remains, quietly itching beneath the skin.

Secret passages of Bhairavgad
Highest Ranking #1 Rajasthan This is my first story it is written in a narrative way and sometimes in someone's POV. It is not in a proper format please excuse my mistakes. Hope to improve. This story is not related to any people but just an imagination and doesn't hurt or remark about any religion or norms. It's purely imaginative. Synopsis After her fathers death, 13 year old SATI is sent to Bombay for further studies. Eight years after her father's death Sati has returned to Bhairavgad with revenge on her mind. The last words her father told was about the passages inside the Bhairavgad Fort. To unravel what her father meant, she fully prepared herself these eight years of any obstacles that will come in her way. But her father's elder brother Kanwar Singh has placed a biggest obstacle in her way RUDRA. There will be a fair warning before in some chapters due to violence and mature content. This book is though for all age groups except for few chapters. Started: 15th April, 2019Complete
