"Do you ever regret it?" Maheen's voice trembled, barely a whisper, as if the weight of the question was too much to bear.
Asad stood motionless, his gaze intense, no trace of his usual smirk. "Regret what?"
"Everything," she said, her eyes hard with unshed emotions. "The fights, the chaos.. us."
He stepped closer, his voice quiet but raw. "I don't regret you. But everything else... I regret that every damn day."
Her heart skipped a beat, confusion flooding her chest. "Then why-"
"Because I can't stop hoping you'll forgive me," he said, his words lingering in the charged silence.

But as fate would have it, they were meant to meet again. Years later, now all grown up, they meet again suddenly at work and old feelings resurface. Maheen is an open book. She says what she feels and wears her heart on her sleeve. She's always laughing, the personification of a bright sunny day. In her mind, she's the main character of her own Bollywood movie. She doesn't care what anyone has to say about her. She's already heard the worst. Hasan is her complete opposite. He's always been quiet and shy, and has only become more serious and business-like as the years go on.

"why the fuck did you go on a date with him? he is not even your type!!" he growls. "so what? he is friendly and nice to me" I replied confidently. "NO, HE IS NOT NICE!!! he wants you because you're....beautiful" he said looking directly in my eyes! "Viaan! stop being so annoying...and let me go! he is waiting for me" I said. As I was about to leave, he held my hands and in a millisecond I was pinned to his car. I was shocked by this action of his. He never behaved like this but today he was in different mood. "What a-are you d-doing?" I said. We were so close that our lips were almost touching and then he bends towards my neck and kiss it. I swear that feeling was so amazing... I loved it but I didn't show it on my face, but then he looked at me with his dark brown eyes, and stared at me for a couple of seconds. "If you didn't leave for home right now! I will kiss the fuck out of you, until you become breathless" he said in his deep voice without breaking the eye contact. Honestly that was hot....but this is not the time for this. "And why are you suddenly so interested in my personal life? Are you jealous of Abhay?" I said without looking at him. "Do not try me! I said go home!!" I sensed that he is angry. "Oh yeah? don't try you? what will you do Mr. Raghuvanshi?" I said in a sarcastic way. To which he smirked. and said "don't ask for something you can't handle baby" What did he just say.....Baby? "I'm not your baby". "Are you sure?" he smirked again. Why the hell he's keep doing that. .........

His Arranged Wife : When Love Wasn't The Plan
《Book 1 of "His" Series.》 "Come on, Firefly. Stop eating that," I said, half amused and half exasperated. But instead of listening, she walked over to me, holding the jar out with a determined look on her face. "You should put it on your lips too. You'll like it!" I raised an eyebrow. "No. I'm not doing that, Firefly." She pouted, stepping closer. "Come on, just once," she insisted, dipping her finger into the tiny jar and attempting to smear it on my lips. I caught her wrist, grinning as an idea struck me. "You really want me to taste it that badly?" I asked, my voice dropping a notch. "Yes!" she said, her enthusiasm masking the mischief in my tone. I leaned in slightly, lowering my voice further. "Alright then, you asked for it, Firefly." Before she could comprehend my words, I tilted her chin up and captured her lips with mine. The kiss wasn't soft or tentative-it was deliberate, consuming. My lips pressed firmly against hers, moving slowly but with intent. As I kissed her, the faint sweetness of the strawberry flavor mingled with something even better-the natural taste of her lips. She was breathless by the time I pulled away, her cheeks flushed, her eyes wide and dazed. I smirked, brushing my thumb gently over her now swollen lips. "You're right, Firefly," I murmured, my voice low and teasing. "The strawberry flavor is good. But your lips? They're even better." ⭐ Tropes ⭐: _______________ ✨ Arranged Marriage ❤️ 👩❤️👨 Elder Daughter × Younger Son 💍 💖 Kind, Sensitive & Strong FMC 🔥 Rude but captivated by her & "Touch Her and Die" MMC 💞 Spicy & Intense Romance 🌞 Grumpy × Sunshine Vibes - A love story where fate binds them, sparks fly, and hearts collide! 💫❤️🔥 ___________________ Start: 15/12/2024 End: 13/06/2025Complete

Misha's life was supposed to be simple - study hard, become a doctor, and escape the suffocating shadows of her father's expectations. But everything shattered the day she was forced to leave her dreams behind and start over - across the world in India, numb, broken, and lost. Years later, fate throws her back into the arms of the people she tried to forget - at a big desi wedding full of chaos, colors, aunties with unsolicited advice, screaming cousins, haldi stains, sangeet masti... and him. Aman - the man whose memory still lingers like a sweet ache, whose presence now stirs the fragile hope she thought was lost forever. He's changed, and so has she - but some feelings never fade. Between the sparkle of wedding lights, jealous stares, hilarious rishtedaar drama, stolen glances, old scars, and aching hearts - this is a story of heartbreak, healing, family chaos, and a love that never really went away... no matter how much Misha pretends it did.
