The Veils Of Rivalry (ON HOLD)
What happens when two souls, set on each other's destruction, collide? "I will destroy her till she regrets her own existence." "I will wait till he regrets his decisions." A marriage bound not by love, but by vengeance. Shivansh entered into matrimony with Samriddhi, not as a husband, but as a punisher. His mother's tragic death had left him shattered, and in his grief, he sought justice-or perhaps retribution. Convinced that Samriddhi was the key to uncovering the truth, he vowed to make her suffer. But as he walked the treacherous path of revenge, the lines between hatred and love began to blur. He never anticipated the depth of her pain, the secrets she carried, or the silent battles she had fought long before he entered her life. Slowly, against his will, he found himself drawn to her-not just to her beauty, but to her strength, her resilience, and the sorrow hidden behind her eyes. But was love enough to erase the wounds of the past? Could Samriddhi ever forgive the man who married her with the intent to ruin her? And was Shivansh truly punishing the right person, or had he been blinded by his own misconceptions? As buried truths unraveled, they found themselves entangled in a web of lies, betrayals, and long-forgotten sins. Every revelation brought a new storm, testing the fragile bond they had unknowingly built. Did they find their happily ever after? Maybe. Was Love easy for them? Certainly Not. Love was never meant to be easy for them. Twists awaited at every turn, shadows from Samriddhi's past loomed over them, and the ghosts of their choices refused to fade. Dive into their world-a tale of vengeance, love, and redemption, where nothing is as it seems, and every secret has the power to change everything.![𝐒𝐀𝐌𝐘𝐀𝐓𝐈 [ᴏɴ ʜɪᴀᴛᴜꜱ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/309732865-256-k925289.jpg)

The past is not merely a memory-it is a debt yet unpaid, a promise yet unfulfilled. Bound by fate and entangled in the savagery of mankind, they stand at the precipice of a world where Dharma wanes, and the truth is veiled in shadow. And so, as the voyage of time anchors them in a place unknown yet divine, their journey begins-a quest not only for remembrance but for reckoning.

Kabhi Ishqyaun Kabhi Dishkiyaun
"Rudra Malhotra naam toh suna hoga?" Rudra is the very definition of charisma,outgoing, charming, and unapologetically playful. His quick wit and infectious laughter make him the center of attention wherever he goes, and his flirtatious nature often draws him into spontaneous adventures and lighthearted banter. But beneath the surface of his carefree attitude lies a man scarred by heartbreak. His radiant smile often masks a loneliness he cannot shake, and his laughter sometimes serves as a fragile veil over the pain of his past. "Never trust a man with desire." Ruhanika Mehra, on the other hand, is fierce, short-tempered, and unafraid to speak her mind. Strong-headed and determined, she chases her dreams with relentless passion. Yet behind her fiery exterior is a softer side,one reserved for those she loves most. Protective and deeply caring, Ruhanika's strength is matched only by her capacity to give her heart completely when she chooses. "Rooh!" The silence was suffocating. No response. No movement. I forced my eyes open and scanned the room in a panic. That's when I saw it,the bloodstain seeping into the bedsheet. Memories from the night before came rushing back, hitting me like a tidal wave. "Rudra, make me yours." Her whispered plea echoed in my mind. "You complete me, Rooh." My own words haunted me as I clutched my head, fighting to hold on to reality. Where was she? I spun around, my gaze falling on the dressing table mirror. A note was pinned to the glass. My hands trembled as I snatched it. "We can't be together." -Ruhanika I stared blankly at the words, my mind spiraling. Why would she leave without a word? What happens when a girl who never believed in love collides with a boy who has always yearned for it? Thrown together under circumstances that breed hatred at first sight, can they truly resist the undeniable pull of attraction, lust, and desperation that binds them together?

Guilty
She was quiet, a shadow of herself, carrying the weight of a past that refused to let her breathe. He was fire, fiercely protective, with eyes that held stories untold and a heart locked away. It wasn't love at first sight-it was an arranged alliance, a collision of two worlds both marred by their own scars. She didn't trust him, and he didn't know how to reach her. Their every encounter sparked with tension, a push and pull between hatred and an undeniable connection. But when the world threatened to hurt her, he stood like a fortress: "Touch her, and you die." It wasn't simple. It wasn't easy. But in the echoes of their pain, they began to piece together something raw, something real. And as their story unfolds, you'll wonder: Is love enough to heal what's broken? Or will their pasts consume them before they can find their way to each other? This isn't your typical love story-it's survival, redemption, and the relentless fight to hold on to what matters. Dive into Aditya and Aadhya's world, where hate simmers into passion, scars become strength, and love is their ultimate salvation.
