IMP: The story build-up will take 4-5 chapters of reading, according to me, so please don't judge the book and writer early.

"What if two people from opposite worlds collide in a way neither of them saw coming?"

Meet Anurag Kapoor, a charming millionaire businessman with the world at his feet- except for one thing: He's tried to control his heart but fails miserably when he meets her. A secret, he is the "King of India's Mafia world". 

And then there's Aastha Chawan, a brilliant doctor who's smart, confident, and unapologetically herself. She's a bit chubby, with dusky skin that tells a story of strength, but society's gaze often makes her feel out of place.

She is an orphan and was adopted by her friend's in-laws when she was 25.

When these two meet, sparks fly in the most unexpected ways-but not in the way either of them imagined. Will they overcome their differences, pasts, and insecurities to find something real?

He was a ruthless cold-hearted person while she was fun-loving and caring.

Why should you read it?

Because it's a story about more than just romance, it's about breaking boundaries, fighting stereotypes, and finding a connection where you least expect it. If you love stories with complex characters, real emotions, and love that defies all odds, this one's for you.

Anurag and Aastha await you on their journey in Hearts in Balance: A Tale of Business and Medicine.

Are you ready to see what happens when two completely different worlds collide?

Come for the sparks. Stay for the journey.

It's a love story and my love pours into it!!!

"Some love stories don't start with fireworks-they begin with silence, with a glance that lingers a second too long." They didn't fall all at once. It began with the memory of that first glance. "The first time I saw you, I felt something I couldn't explain. A pull. A silence. A need to freeze that moment forever." - Ayaan Singh Raghuvanshi He didn't believe in fate-until her eyes met his. She wasn't looking for love-especially not the kind that sees through every mask she's ever worn. He felt it from the first glance. An unshakable need to keep looking at her. To stop time. To make her his. "Even if it takes days, months, or years... one day, I will make you mine, Tesoro. If you belong to anyone, it will only be to Ayaan Singh Raghuvanshi." She was light wrapped in silence, laughter hiding bruises. She was the girl who filled the room with words but crumbled into silence when no one truly listened. He was the man who never spoke much-until her voice became the only sound he craved. "I always thought no one would ever understand my pain... so I hid it, behind smiles and small talk, But with you, I want to share it all. Because only you can understand the parts of me I've never shown anyone." - Aishna Haunted by pasts, founded comfort in each other's shadows. Destiny didn't bring them together just for perfection but for healing! Late-night talks turned into shared scars, gentle touches turned into silent promises. their love begins as a sweet escape-but slowly, deeply, beautifully, it turns into something darker. Not toxic. Not obsessive. But consuming. Healing. Raw. "I don't know what love is... I don't know how to love someone." She said "That's okay. I don't either. We'll learn together." He replied They didn't meet by accident. They were meant to collide. She had scars no one saw. He had silence that screamed louder than words! "What if I never learn how to love?" She asked "Then just stay. That's all I'll ever need." He replied

"So you approached me without being aware of my identity?" He asks me, while raising an eyebrow. To say I was shocked would be an understatement. It takes me a while to compose myself and form a sensible reply. "Yes, I wasn't aware of your identity." "You might think you can fool me, but trust me, this has happened quite a few times before as well." He says with a very serious expression. I'm baffled by his accusation. This man has the audacity to question my intentions when he's the one trying to converse with me all along. I don't know what comes over me, but whenever I'm overwhelmed with anger, it turns into tears. And before I can compose myself, I taste the salty tears in my mouth. I take a few deep breaths, place the cup on the side table and get up to leave. "Thank you for your hospitality and your excellent assessment of my character. I will now take your leave." With that, I turn to head towards the door but he grabs my hand and pulls me towards him. Characters: Ameerah is a happy-go-lucky 23 year old who has recently graduated from med school. She is an optimist with quite a rosy view of the world. She is far from perfect. She has her faults; some she's aware of and others, not so much. She's stronger than most in some ways, weaker than many in others. Sebastian McArdle is a Consultant in General Surgery at the Royal London Hospital. He's one of the youngest and most accomplished surgeon in town. To an outsider, his life would seem perfect. He's young, handsome, successful, rich and hails from one of the most respected families in the country. But life is not always what it seems to be. He has his own set of problems. As Our Holy Qur'an states Surah An-Nisa, Verse 28: Allah desires that He should make light your burdens, and man is created weak. Follow a story of trials and errors, to finding her path to love, and to Life.

I was not a studious girl when I was forced into medical field because of my father who always expected the best from me. I didn't realize becoming doctor became so dear to me that it turned into a passion instead of a escape from my broken family and that's when I saw him again.. He made my heart beat a little faster but broke it just as everyone did and left me 5 years ago without any warning and stormed back in my life without one too. It was decided that i won't let him ruin me again but chip by chip the walls of my heart fell away seeing his efforts and that Infuritaingly handsome face. Should I let him in my life giving him a chance to prove himself? Or stick to the stereotype of "all men are same"? " I loved you" She whispers, the hand I'm holding cold against my skin. I stroke the skin with my thumb once, trying to get her eyes on me and then she looks at me. Hurt eyes look at me and in that moment I wanted her to look away because of the hurt evident in her eyes. After 4 years, seven days and something hours, she finally looked at me. "I know." I whisper back. "You still left me alone to fend for myself." My grip tightens on her hand. "I know. But I want to make things right. Do you think you can give me one chance?. " Ps: this story is of Isha mehra, sister of ishan, the main lead of my previous story, the setting of both the books is completely different and they are not interconnected. But if you want to have a better sense of characters that might be same as the previous book, you should read that first and then continue with this. But it can also be read as a standalone. Thank you for reading till here. Happy reading<3
