Antara Sharma
I promised myself I wouldn't do this again. 
But somehow, he's gotten under my skin. Not in the way you'd expect, though. It's the way he's always there-pushing, questioning, caring. The way he makes me laugh when I don't want to, or how he sees through me in ways that make me feel seen.
I promised myself I wouldn't let someone in again, but he's different. And that's the problem. I've been down this road before, opening up and trusting someone, only to end up broken. But this time, with him, it feels different. It feels... right.
The question is, can I let myself believe in a second chance?
Can I trust my heart, this time, to find its way home?

Aiden Asher
I want her. 
Not in some fleeting, shallow attraction. I want all of her - her laughter, her pain, the moments when she's radiant with joy and the times when she's buried behind the walls she's built so meticulously around her heart. I want to be the one to tear them down, brick by brick, not to leave her exposed, but to show her she doesn't have to carry it all alone.
I told myself I'd wait. That maybe she needed more time, more space. 
But time hasn't changed a thing. It's only made it harder. Because the truth is, she's the only one I've ever wanted, and I'm done pretending like I can stay away.


Antara Sharma, a fiercely independent lawyer haunted by betrayal, meets Aiden Asher, a charismatic entrepreneur who has loved her from a distance. As their paths intertwine, both must confront their pasts and navigate the complexities of their very different lives. Will they embrace the chance for love, or will fear keep them apart?

"I don't love you," I declare. He smiled at me, though his expression was tinged with pain, tears pooling in the depths of his eyes. "I knew it, you still love me so much." I was rendered speechless by his declaration, my efforts to conceal my emotions proving futile as he effortlessly deciphered the truth written in my eyes. "Say it, just once, that you love me, my Sweetheart. Just once, please," he pleaded. I finally surrendered, tears misting my own eyes as all rational thoughts scattered, "I love you. I never stopped loving you." "And I love you infinitely more," he declared, leaning closer towards my lips. I placed a trembling hand over his mouth, halting him in his tracks, and shook my head slowly. "We can't. It's wrong. We can't betray our partners." *** Two hearts, torn apart by the cruel hand of fate, find themselves face to face after 4 long years. Once college sweethearts, they have now transformed into business partners. People have come and gone, circumstances have shifted, choices have been made, and personalities have evolved. But, one thing remains unchanged: their undying love for each other, that consumes them day and night to finally claim each other as their own. However, the path ahead is far from simple. Bound by commitments, every move feels like a forbidden dance. Will they muster the strength to resist their burning desire or succumb to the long lost desire for each other?

On the other hand, we have Aditya Roy Kapoor, the indomitable Emperor of the business world. With his cold demeanor and striking handsomeness resembling a Greek God, he is the epitome of success. Women swoon over him, but he remains disinterested, consumed by his company and indifferent to romantic pursuits.

His Purest Addiction| 18+ by shrawaniwrites
65 parts Ongoing Mature
Not all love stories begin with stolen glances... some are born in the wreckage- chaotic, consuming, and utterly uninvited. Amyra Saxena is 22, fiery and full of words, yet drowning in silent pain. Ahaan Singh Chandravanshi is 27, cold and commanding, with a heart locked behind years of darkness. She talks too much. He barely speaks. She believes in healing. He's forgotten how. But when fate throws them together, their worlds collide-violently, passionately, irreversibly. He enters her life like a storm- unwelcome, unstoppable, and unwilling to let her fall. She becomes his weakness- unexpected, maddening, and the only thing that makes him feel again. What begins as a forced arrangement spirals into something deeper. Raw. Real. Dangerous. But love isn't easy when the past refuses to stay buried. ♠♠♠♠ The person who likes to listen only when he himself is speaking is listening to all of her nonsense talks. The person who finds satisfaction while seeing people begging for mercy can say sorry a thousand times just to make her satisfied. The person who can make people cry just by a look cannot see a single tear in her eyes. A story of fierce passion, undeniable attraction, and a love forged in fire-His Purest Addiction is an intense romance for readers who crave danger, desire, and a bond that can't be broken. _⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠__⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_ #1- indianlove #1- desilove #2- healer #2- hiddensecrets #3- purelove Started on- July 19th, 2024
