Both of them were fragments of a once-whole existence, shattered by life, love, and the weight of their scars. Yet, amidst the wreckage of their hearts, a tiny spark of hope appeared- a child.

Eklavya Nene, a single father navigating the stormy seas of parenthood, found himself struggling to be everything his son needed, especially the tender, nurturing presence of a mother. His divorce had left him fractured, and the idea of letting another woman into his life was daunting. But for the sake of his son, Amogh, he had to find a way.

Unnati Kothari carried the weight of a troubled past, one that had led her to view men as nothing more than monsters. However, a deep-seated desire to become a mother persisted within her. When she met little Amogh through a mutual friend, her world shifted; the boy's laughter and innocence touched something in her, awakening dreams she thought she had buried forever.

Brought together by the gentle nudges of friends and family, Eklavya and Unnati agreed to a marriage of convenience, each committing to the role of a parent for a child who needed more than either could provide alone. Yet, love- true, uncharted, and profound- remained an elusive mystery to them both.

Could two souls so deeply marred by their pasts find the courage to trust and to heal? Would they ever allow their hearts to open and let love in, not just as parents to Amogh but as partners to each other?

From the very beginning, their union lacked the warmth of love, existing solely to fulfill Adhvik's parents' yearning for grandchildren. Reluctantly, they went through the motions, consummating their marriage and bringing their son Vihan into the world. Adhvik, driven by an irresistible physical desire, found himself drawn to Adhya. In those moments of intimacy, Adhya, fueled by her deep affection for Adhvik, willingly surrendered herself to him, hoping to awaken a love that lay dormant within him and the second time Adhya gave birth to a beautiful daughter, Vrihanika.

Her Husband's Rival by kreesilver

☆⁠▽⁠☆ "What are you doing here?" he asks me, his eyes raking over my drenched body and widening. Instantly, he opens the door further, allowing me to slip inside and grab a towel from somewhere, handing it to me. My sobs may have taken a backseat for now but the urge to break down in someone's arms who cares about me hasn't receded yet. I came here to find my best friend and instead, I look into the eyes of her much older, much handsome brother and a tear slips down my eyes and in a second, so does my bravado. My knees buckle and the ground beneath me slips as I fall with a raged cry. "I didn't know where else to go." ☆⁠▽⁠☆ Anaya Rai, the wife to one of the wealthiest conglomerates in India is happy. Or as happy as she can pretend to be until one day everything topples over and she shows up at her best friend's house, or rather, her best friend's brother's house. Ayaansh Singhania, the to-be CEO of the largest industrial estate is determined, driven and well, much to his parents' dismay, also single, which puts him at a risk of not inheriting the company he has dreamt for for years. So, when an opportunity strikes, should he listen to his brain and risk marrying his rival's ex-wife for his inheritance or listen to his heart and help out the woman he's obsessed with for years? But, what's stopping him from doing both? Mistakes, drunken promises, revenge, dirty secrets yet just one way to end: a happy epilogue. ᴛʜɪs ʙᴏᴏᴋ ʙᴇʟᴏɴɢs ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇ. ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴏʀ ᴘʟᴀɢɪᴀʀɪsᴇ ɪᴛ. any sort of media used in this book does not belong to me unless said so. credits to the rightful owners. ☆⁠▽⁠☆ 5k on 31st July 2024 (WHATTT OMGGGGG!!!!) 10k on 12th September 2024 25k on 29th September 2024 50k on 24th October 2024 100k on 17th November 2024

There's Nothing Without You ✔️ by anandruchi

Previous Title : Tum Jo Nahi Toh Kuch Bhi Nahi --- He sat emotionlessly, his gaze filled with anger as he looked at her. She met his eyes, confused and unable to decipher what was going on in his mind. The mantras echoed around them, the ceremony unfolding in slow motion. He went through the motions, following the priest's instructions, but his mind was far away, lost in a storm of resentment. "I can't believe you did this," he seethed inwardly. "I thought you were different, someone who could understand me, but I was wrong. I wanted to marry her, to build a life with her, but you destroyed everything. How could you stoop so low? She asked me to marry you for the sake of my family, for my father's happiness, but I can't. I will never marry someone like you." Suddenly, he stood up in the middle of the ceremony, his voice cutting through the mantras. "I can't go through with this marriage," he declared, leaving her shocked. ... She cried silently, trapped in her helplessness as he accused her of a betrayal she had never committed. All she had ever done was love him-deeply, unwaveringly. And that, she realized, was the gravest mistake of her life. Yet, despite the pain, she couldn't bring herself to hate him; her love for him was too profound. Join her on a journey where love speaks not in words but in silence. Discover how she finally receives the love she deserves, all without uttering a single word. For though she was mute, her eyes spoke volumes, revealing the depths of her heart. _________________________________ #1 Indianlovestory on 5.10.20 WINNER:- * Ist position YOURS CHOICE AWARDS * 2nd position in INFINITY AWARDS (Reader's choice) * Best emotional story in SWASAN FAMILY AWARDS ( 2nd ) * SWASAN NEWBIE AWARDS (consolation prize). _________________________________
