The Kingdom of Aryavarta stands with no spare heirs to inherit the throne after the prince. So the ailing King turns to a past mistake to find a remedy for the future. But is it too long before he realises that he has been sheltering something owned by his overlord, the Emperor for the past 24 years?

"I never have a choice, do I?" I said, looking straight into those hazel pupils. His face twisted with sheer disgust and irritation.
I knew he spent most of his precious time on the terrace, drinking and fixating on his anger, contempt, and dislike of me. There was a time I knew so much more about him, so many intricate details. And yet, here I am, glaring at him as if he were my opponent in some kind of stupid rat race.
"You do have choices. But you do not utilize them properly. You make horribly bad choices. Choices that can break people, Dhara," he said, his voice shaking.
I retorted immediately, "You have lost the right to call me by that name. I am Devi Yashodhara. And I will always remain Yashodhara to you."The tears I had fought so hard to hold back threatened to spill over, the suffocating presence of Arjun making it difficult to breathe. I barely managed to hold his gaze, the weight of our shared history pressing down on me.
Arjun's face twitched with some unspoken emotion as he turned to summon the carriage. "Okay then, Devi Yashodhara. The King has summoned you. You are to follow us back to the castle."
In that moment, as the echoes of our words hung in the air, I found myself unable to contain my deepest regret any longer.
"You never let me choose, Arjun. You never gave me the chance to choose,"
I blurted out, my voice breaking.

MIS(S)MATCHED- Sins and Regrets
She came out of the washroom, her stomach emptied from relentless vomiting. In her trembling hand, she held a pregnancy kit-two unmistakable pink lines stared back at her, declaring the beginning of a life growing inside her. She froze, eyes locked on the test. "No... no... this can't be happening," she whispered, her voice cracking before she collapsed to her knees, tears streaming down her face. Just then, the door creaked open. He walked in. The moment she saw him, she sprang to her feet, stormed towards him, and grabbed his collar. Her eyes blazed with fury and betrayal. "You cheated me! You trapped me in this marriage!" she shouted, her voice trembling with rage. "You manipulated me, married me, and now this?" she yelled, thrusting the test in front of his face. He stared at it in confusion, but as his eyes registered the two pink lines, understanding dawned. Slowly, a smile spread across his face. She's pregnant... She's carrying my baby... I'm going to be a father. His heart raced with happiness. His plan had worked. She threw the kit to the floor and began pounding her fists against his chest, sobbing, "Why? Why did you do this to me? What did I ever do to deserve this? You've ruined my life! I hate you... I hate you! And I will never forgive you!" A twisted, guilty joy stirred in his chest. As much as it hurt to see her like this, a selfish part of him felt victorious. He couldn't bear the thought of losing her-so he did what he had to do. If love wasn't enough to keep her, then maybe responsibility would be. At least now, she was tied to him... if not by choice, then by duty. He knew her parents would never let her walk away, not with a baby on the way. And maybe-the child could bring them closer. Maybe it could fix what he broke. He smirked, a dark thought creeping in. Now, she couldn't leave. She was TRAPPED WITH HIM. FOREVER.Concluída
Paschyatap ~ Repenting Thy Sins
"Stop following me! Just let me go and leave me in peace!" she pleaded, struggling against his unrelenting grip. "I won't. Not today, not ever. Not after finding you again," he said firmly. "I don't belong here. This isn't my place. Let me go," she begged, desperation in her voice. He shook his head. "You've always belonged. Since the beginning of time, we were meant to be together." "You'll never convince me," she snapped. "I won't be part of this farce or let you treat me like an object without a will of my own." "It's not a farce. It's as real as the sun, and you will be part of it-whether you want to or not. Your only desire should be our companionship," he declared. "Please," she whispered, one last plea as her hand inched toward her waistband. "The only thing left to do... do it for her, if not for love. " he ordered. "For love?" she murmured, shaken. Then her expression hardened. "But love was never an option," she spat, her voice dripping with disgust-before she struck with full force. It wasn't supposed to end like this. Anwesha-once a soldier by choice, not birth-had embraced duty for her nation. But one failed mission led her to the dark waters of the Ganges. Caught in a whirlpool, she accepted death like an old friend. Yet, she didn't die. She woke up in another timeline, but here, she didn't belong. A misfit, a lone coal in a chest of gold. She wasn't chosen by fate, nor favored by the gods-just an accident struggling to return home. But every path back was closed. Trapped, she resolved to be a silent observer. Yet fate had other plans. She crossed paths with the Scions of Kuru, a dynasty shaping history itself. She hadn't intended to get involved, but now she was entangled in their world, for better or worse. Can she survive in this era, or will she find her way back? More importantly-who is she, really? And why her? After all, nothing in this world, or beyond it, is mere coincidence. • Book I ~ Stuck In Time Series •

TRUE LOVE NEVER DIES ✔️
In a moment frozen, Sanskar turned to Swara, the woman who had brought joy and heartache into his life. Memories of laughter and dreams flickered in his mind, emphasising their deep connection. "I loved you like no one else could," he began, sorrow intertwining with his steady voice. "But you chose family, the very ones who betrayed us. Today, you've gained their love, and I've lost yours forever." Swara's eyes brimmed with tears as she sensed the widening chasm between them. "I loved you more than anyone-even my mother. I thought uniting our families would bring us happiness, but now I was wrong." Her voice trembled as she spoke of their shattered relationship. "I loved you yesterday, today, and I will continue to love you tomorrow, even beyond this life." "Stay safe and happy," he urged, masking his pain with a brave face. "You are my Princess and Queen, and I want your happiness, even without me." Swara wiped her tears, feeling her heart fracture. "You are my King, and no one will replace you. But I must follow my heart, even when it hurts." As he whispered a bittersweet goodbye, they both understood the weight of love and loss that lingered in the space between them.Concluída

𝗔𝗻𝘀𝗵 𝘅 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗸𝗮 "kyun kar rahe hain aap aisa ? Mera haath chhod dijiye, please!" she cried, her voice trembling as tears streamed uncontrollably down her cheeks. "Just shut your mouth and marry me," he growled without even glancing at her, his voice cold and final. Her body shivered at his tone. "M..mujhe dard ho raha hai," she whispered through sobs, the pain in her voice halting him for a moment. He turned to look at her-just for a second. Then, without a word, he lifted her into his arms. Startled, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. "Tumhari behen ki galti ki saza tum bhugtogii." His voice was low, bitter.

Written In The Stars
"So.. go on a date with me?" I can't stop looking at him. He's just so beautiful. As he always was-just ten years younger. Same brown eyes, same lips, that boyish charm. The only difference is the hint of innocence in his gaze and the curiosity in his expression. No doubt he's surprised by my sudden question. I can't really blame him. His boring, nonchalant classmate of one year has just asked him out after a nice evening together. But I know he'll say yes. He has to. He never said no to me. I can't wait to plan all the amazing, adventurous dates with him, to make him feel special this time-just like he did for me. I'm eager to get to know him all over again. That's when I hear mumbling. "Hmm?" I ask, not hearing him properly. "No. I'm sorry, but I'm not interested. I had a great time today, Anu, but I don't see you that way. I'll have to decline." I can hear my heart breaking. Funny, isn't it? All your life, you think: Okay, this will be my last heartbreak. This guy will be the one. He's going to make it all worth it. And then, suddenly, life throws another failed attempt at love into your bucket. If I can manage to get rejected by my husband of three years, then there probably isn't any hope for me. . . Anu had everything-power, success, and a love so deep it felt unshakable. Three years of marital bliss with Ashwin, the man who was her home, her heart, her forever. Their life was perfect, built with love, laughter, and quiet mornings wrapped in each other's warmth. But in the blink of an eye, everything vanished. She woke up not in their home, but in a college dorm. Not as the woman who ruled boardrooms, but as a twenty-year-old student. And then she saw him. Ashwin. But this Ashwin didn't know her. He wasn't her devoted husband. He was a stranger, a boy still finding his way in life. She had been thrust back into his past, into a time where she didn't belong. And the most terrifying question of all- Would he still fall in love with her?Concluída
