"Don't expect anything from me."
That's what Aryan Sharma tells Riya Shetty right after the wedding.
Short. Heartless. Handsome.
He's everything she didn't want - and everything her family insisted she needed.
Riya is done pleasing people.
If she has to play the perfect wife, she will.
But she won't beg for his affection.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Riya Shetty - warm-hearted, soft-spoken, and fiercely loyal - works as a teacher and comes from a middle-class South Indian family.
Aryan Sharma - cold, sharp, and emotionally locked away - is one of India's most powerful lawyers, born into a high-profile North Indian legacy.
In a world where promises are made but hearts stay guarded, Riya dreams of warmth, laughter, and a love worth fighting for.
Aryan, cold and distant, wears the scars of a past he can't forget - and a future he doesn't want.
When an arranged marriage binds them together, two strangers must navigate years of silence, unspoken desires, and aching loneliness.
As walls crumble and truths unravel, will Riya's quiet yearning be enough to thaw Aryan's guarded heart?
Or will the shadows of blame and grief pull them further apart?
Slow-burn romance. Heartbreak and healing. A love that's not given - but earned.

Inked Hearts
Sandhya Sen was just a girl from a forgotten village, with a heart full of stories and a voice the world never cared to hear. By day, she lived in silence and shadows. By night, she became someone else entirely - a beloved writer on Wattpad, spinning tales that touched thousands, especially one anonymous reader who clung to every word. But one day, she disappeared. Deleted everything. No goodbye. No explanation. And her most loyal reader was left with nothing but questions. Three years later, Sandhya is thrust into an arranged marriage she never wanted - and never saw coming. Her husband, Aryan Mehta, is reserved, emotionally guarded, and far too observant for her comfort. But unlike the arrogant men she feared, Aryan doesn't raise his voice - he watches, listens, and carries his own quiet grief. What neither of them knows is that they've already met - in a world of words, under the veil of usernames and shared vulnerabilities. As they stumble through the fragile beginnings of their marriage, buried secrets begin to surface. The writer she was. The reader he became. And the story that bound them - long before they knew each other's names. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I've lost a lot of people in my life, Sandhya...And I-I don't want to lose you too." - Aryan Mehta. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You'll fall, and I'll catch you. You'll cry, and I'll wipe your tears away. If you stop, I'll keep moving - carrying you forward with your hand in mine. I don't know exactly when I started feeling this way, but I know it's real. I know my feelings. And yes, I'm scared too - scared of losing you, scared that one day I might say something that could hurt you. But... that's life, isn't it? We make mistakes, we learn, and we move forward - together." - Sandhya Sen.Complete

EARLIER KNOWN AS "THAKUR'S OBSESSION" EDITED TILL CHAPTER 7 "If you breathe near her, you are dead." Aanya never chose her marriage. She was claimed by Arjun Pratap Thakur-a man feared for his power, respected for his ruthlessness, and obeyed without question. He doesn't love gently. He protects with possession, commands without raising his voice, and leaves no room for doubt about one thing: Aanya is his. But her husband isn't the most dangerous man in her life. The real threat is the man who has loved her since childhood. The man who spent years watching from the shadows, waiting, obsessing. Convinced that Aanya was always meant to belong to him. When fragments of a forgotten past begin to surface-a missing sister, instincts she was never taught, and memories that don't quite fit-Aanya discovers a truth more terrifying than either man. Her memories were never lost. They were stolen. Now, trapped between a husband who would destroy anyone who touches her and an obsessed man willing to burn the world to claim her, Aanya is forced to uncover the secrets buried within her past before they consume her future. Because some truths were hidden for a reason. And some obsessions were never meant to survive.
